How do you think one should get started with Emacs? Should they start start with regular GNU Emacs or should they install one of the “distros”?

No matter how good or bad the books are, their cover art is so cool

Pretty interesting theming, I must say

Thanks for the recommendation

h and l are overrated, use w, b, e and f instead.

It’s funny.

Can someone please explain the joke?

Yeah, everyone knows the year of Linux will be in +∞

You made it so that only the currently focused window has 100% opacity, while making the others really transparent. Isn’t that impractical when you are, let’s say, writing some document while checking other windows for information related to what you’re writing? Has there been any situations where something similar happened to you? Since this is your own “rice”, there’s no problem if you never used your computer for stuff like this, but I’m legit curious about it.

Great work :)

I’m thinking that the author is doing this so they avoid thoughts like “the website is still up, why am I not posting anything on it?” We are talking about a person who felt the urge to post at least once every single day of their life, while maintaining a job.

It’s the first time I’ve ever heard about this website, but it seems like the author’s decision was the best decision they could’ve done, due to how pressured they felt with the conrent creation thing.

What? Nobara has pre-installed stock Google Chrome? That sucks…

Cool, where can we find it?

I understand the argument being made, but I kind of disagree. Yes, picking a DE in which you’ll be comfortable is really important (and often an undervalued aspect of using Linux for the first time), but I think that the time you need to spend self-maintaining your distro is more important, and is also prone to make-or-break your first-time Linux experience. That’s the most important factor on whether a new user says “I love Linux and want to continue using it” or “I fricking hate Linux, it’s filled with a bunch of problems, I’d rather just use Windows instead”. And that’s why it’s important to recommend beginner-friendly distros, as to avoid frustration of newcomers, because those are more manageable (unless those newcomers want the frustration of managing something that they don’t quite understand :)

Does it matter which one in specific? No, and it’s probably at this point that the DE and visual looks should kick in.

I’m curious where linux fits into the story.

Someone here on Lemmy recently shared a really interesting article about the invention of Linux, written by a friend of Linus Torvalds who also worked on the project for a long time: https://lwn.net/Articles/928581/
