I love the Atari ST and Linux!

That’s disappointing. Guess I’ll join another instance.

Here’s a few channels I like that post interesting content if you’re into retro stuff.

There’s many more but these are the channels I highly recommend checking out.

I’m using it now and I feel the same way. It makes more sense to have a workspace indicator but I’m so used to the activities text at the top left that it just feels weird. I don’t care if they change it it’s just weird not having it after seeing it for 6 years

Stuff like this is why I love Linux. Without ideas like this we would be using the same old boring windows desktop for the rest of our lives. I’m all for GNOME experimenting with new ways to manage windows.

The main benefit to using Gentoo is having complete control over your system. I’ve been a Gentoo user for nearly 6 years so the feeling of accomplishment has worn off long ago and now I feel like I’m using any distro which is a good thing. use flags come in handy when you want to install a desktop but none of the extra crap that’s bundled with it or an application that has a feature that’s disabled by default that you want to enable. Most packages take less than a minute to compile and on the stable branch, most of the big stuff only needs to update once in a while. From an outsider it sounds tryhardy to use Gentoo but in reality I’m using Firefox or playing a game while something compiles in the background which isn’t as often as you think. I update once a week and it’s usually 4 packages that take a minute to compile.

I supported sending a message on r/place but this is embarrassing

Nice! After the first time you get the hang of it but keep in mind, If you do make your own config you will have to recompile your kernel for any hardware that isn’t automatically enabled in the config like graphics, touchpad, tablets, and other peripherals you will plug into your computer. Reading up on what hardware you have helps a lot but I still manage to forget something when I have to create my own config. Thankfully you can just transfer your config to the next kernel instead of creating it all over again.

I use firefox for obvious privacy reasons but also because I can customize the UI. Chromium’s interface is oversized, ugly, and locked down while on firefox I can change any aspect of it using my own CSS.
