From my experience with tailscale so far - there are so many different ways to have it configured well. If it works well for you having it on the host, then go for it. I have home assistant in a VM with tailscale and tailscale on the (windows) host. This works well for my needs and I don’t mind having it running “twice”

Google gave up on their version of DeX or whatever? Good

Multiple versions, paths, and installs of Python. Using pip makes it worse.

I still don’t fully understand how to gracefully have multiple desktop environments and switch between them. When I want to try something new to me like lxqt, I usually spin up a VM.

I will not answer your question, but instead share a detail. When I finally found sunglasses that look good on me I bought two pair. I plan to buy a third of the same soon, assuming my prescription have changed much. Thanks Shaquille O’Neal.

Switching from 5th grade at a little red schoolhouse, where the only homework assignments were reading and projects/presentations to 6th grade at a college prep middle/highschool with homework assignments every day.

That’s great, but it should still be possible and well documented for people to run things natively. Some people want less bloat for technical reasons (maintaining a product with very little storage or memory). Tinycore Linux is my go-to example of the benefit of keeping things lightweight for a purpose.

I used to pride myself in Linux uptime on my desktop. Went without rebooting for months at a time. Back then, I wouldn’t let myself dual boot

I have a pixel 8, and a pixel 6 before that. The same bugs have followed me the whole time. I guess PiP, keyboard, bubbles, and graphical issues just aren’t being worked on. I’m waiting on Apple sideloading updates before I’m upgrading, but this is a piece of shit. I would try another OS, but I am afraid of getting banking apps and Google Fi working.

Maybe Intel should boot using the embedded x86 in the chipset when the CPU dies in 13th/14th gen. CPU optional.

Didn’t know this series, but in my life this face is usually tied with “do you have any games on your phone?”

Yes

If you do compile something, it is very easy to make it an installable package you could share. I’m not sure how the repos are managed

I’m uninformed, why were things like snap and flatpak created?

I barely understand docker, but I’m starting to understand why it can be beneficial, although bloated.

I chose to set up grafana, mqtt, etc for an RV instead of home assistant. Little more lightweight for the raspberry pi 3 I used. Pulling together solar info, so we could see how long the AC would keep running on the road

CET Designer with in house tools added. Nothing worked well, or even worked as documented for longer than a couple months. And engineering projects using it would last years… We’d go to do as builts and nothing worked the way it did when the project began.

Millie is sometimes Miller lite

KiCAD for circuit boards FreeCAD to import those boards and do everything else

Mint is great. It also works well out of the box in virtual machines. I like the MATE versions for my older machines.

There is a major shift happening right now, and mint is slower than many to adopt changes. I’d argue that’s good for mint users, but it may be bad for you personally if you plan to learn about modern linux. Idgaf personally about X11 vs Wayland, because I just need to be able to use my programs.
