You can also use pv to see a nice progress bar:

pv path/to/awesome.iso > /dev/disk/usb-drive

Absolutely, I daily drive Mint and it’s one of my favorite things about it!

And when I installed Chromium from the command line as a deb, it OVERWROTE my wish, and installed Chromium as a snap too.

This right here is my issue with Ubuntu. A huge part of Linux for me is that I am in control of my OS and machine. If I use apt to install a package, it’s because I want the .deb version. I absolutely don’t need my OS telling me “I know what you asked for, but I’m going to give you the snap version anyway”.

I could see snaps being preferred over .debs in the Software app, sure (though they shouldn’t be the only option). But replacing apps in a command line tool is garbage.

Even the Steam Deck isn’t locked to their flavor, so I highly doubt a full pc would be.

Excellent point, but “would’ve”, “could’ve”, and “should’ve” sound like “would of”, “could of”, and “should of”.

So the problem doesn’t lie solely in enounciation.

I’ve installed Mint on a 6 recently. Setting up the boot settings was a minor hassle, but everything else was very smooth. Definitely recommend the linux-surface kernel.

Agreed, but I am glad they at least have the option to set it up through WireGuard.

Yes, I do! Thanks!

bs=1M

This part varies based on your hardware (my hardware is much faster with a value of 4096) , but other than that it’s everything.

Here is a handy script that can help determine which bs size is best for your hardware.

I have it running on a Libre Computer Renegade (kind of a big brother to Le Potato)

It works really well for me. Not sure about now, but when I set it up there wasn’t a way to get the actual Octoprint image to boot on it, so I used Octoprint Deploy.

Don’t let this man distract you from the fact that in 1998, KDE Plasma threw Gnome off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer’s table.

I personally like https://teachingtechyt.github.io/calibration.html for all of the above. It provides gcode and stl files based on your input. I’ve had great success using it for my Ender 3.

“…there was a 24% increase in heart attacks on the Monday following the switch to daylight saving time [in 2024].”

I’d say the people in that 24% have a quite valid reason to care.

Green Ubuntu best Ubuntu

Jagex’s help site links to this github which is a collection of working Linux projects, including bolt.

It’s not perfect, but I consider it as Jagex saying it’s fine.

Yes, this is exactly what I did when they forced the change a while back.

It’s actually kinda nice because it’s only one login now and easy to switch between them.

Since they changed to Jagex accounts, you can’t use Runelite directly anymore.

I use this launcher now. It lets you login to your Jagex account, then choose to play in either Runelite or the official client.

Can there be beginners if everyone is a beginner?

The joke is that Kilimanjaro is pronounced similar to ‘Kilomanjaro’, which would be 1000 Manjaros.
