I work in threat detection research, and since most of what I'm looking at is people trying to get frisky with a Linux server my job is fine with using Linux for our work computers

Myself and several of !y coworkers use Linux at work bit, to be fair, it is a tech job.
It's super impressive to see Wayland having its big breakthrough moment. I remember reading about Wayland 10 years ago and worrying it was going to end up as a dead project.
Tbh I just carry a decent point and shoot canon camera with CHDK on it for my photography needs. Granted, that's because I went from an android phone to a cheap kaiOS flip phone, bit the point still stands
There is really only so Mich software enhancement can do. At a certain point, there's not enough data to interpolate.
No, I just run everything with -vvvvvvvvvv so I can see my computer yelling at me
I like using the terminal because of 3 main reasons:
- I like using my keyboard
- I like doing multiple things in one window
- Verbosity
I'm pretty quick with typing, but sometimes I can't see !y mouse at first, so it's just faster for me to type out what I want to do as long as I know the right arguments for it.
My average workflow at work as me doing frequent saml logins and going between multiple kinds of databases. It's just easier for me to run the saml cli command and then run the SQL CLI command I need instead of messing with datagrip settings and stuff. Also I recreationally run some servers and it's just easier to ssh into the server, make the changes I need in something like nano or the redis CLI tools and then log back out. This means I'm just plain more comfortable on the terminal in certain situations like config editing, writing posts for my gemini capsule, etc.
Sometimes when I run a GUI program I'll get big loud silence and don't know what to do. In that case I genuinely enjoy using the terminal and running an equivalent command with verbosity settings so I can see what it's doing or not and can track down any errors.
On top of those reasons, I've been playing with RISC-V architecture lately and, while the xorg riscv64 port is admirable, I just get better performance rn by running my RISC stuff through tty.
I recognize that not everybody is going to have the same use case and workflows as me, but I'm pretty comfortable with what I've got 😅
Personally, I like crostini with a little balsamic vinegar and olive oil on top. Its great when Italian restaurants give you the little bread before your meal
The chrome is crostini is cool too! I wish Google would just make full fledged Linux laptops, but it's a step in the right direction
Every time I've tried to use Manjaro, within a year or two the entire OS shits the bed. Whether it's dependency hell, broken SSL certs or the display drovers fucking up. Legit never had that problem with other arch-based distros or arch itself, or even with fedora tumbleweed which is the "unstable" rolling release flavor of Fedora that I'm currently using.
Same. Tumbleweed here. All the benefits of the rpm ecosystem but with less hassle and more updates
