Linux during the mid to late 90s (Windows 95 and 98 era)
  • I remember using Conectiva Linux in Brazil. Also tried Kurumin Linux, both Brazilian distros. The biggest pain I recall from these years was to make a modem work and I ended up buying an expensive US Robotics, which worked like a charm.

  • Parents with bilingual children, how did you do it?
  • I moved to the Netherlands when my boy was 8yo. At that time he was fluent and capable to read and write in Portuguese. Now, two years later he can also do the same in Dutch, but the challenge now is that he is forgetting some words or some meanings in his mother tongue. I ask to everyone coming from Brazil to bring books for him, which helps a lot (he loves to read). Besides of that, it's super hard for me to follow up him with his homework.

  • In your country, what "common" animals are tourists most excited to see?
  • Yep, I was going to say capybaras but also anacondas, although they are hard to spot, but I recall there's one in Butantan Institute, in São Paulo city.

  • Former distrohoppers, where did you settle down?
  • Distrobox is a god send tool for using AUR stuff in any distro.

  • D or d come on
  • Zoxide and cd down. ;)

  • Rabbit? I'm a hare!
  • I read this using fire"fox".

  • A-hyuck!
  • Minnie: Mickey, are you f_cking crazy?

    Mickey: No, I'm f_cking Daisy.

  • Thank you for confirming!

  • I'm using flatpak extensively but I'm looking for faster start-up times. Anyway, thanks for the suggestion.

  • Just a honest question: if I install Thunderbird using distrobox, can I define it as my default browser? If I click in a mailto link will it work?

  • Distro hoppers, how do you manage your config files?
  • I manage my config files with RCM, this way: https://fedoramagazine.org/managing-dotfiles-rcm/

    But I use it for share my dotfiles between my home and my work computer. For distro hopping only, I have my /home mounted in a secondary HD, so it's never formatted.

    For the config files in other paths, I keep a log of everything I changed in Dropbox and then I redo. I admit that this may not be the best solution, but the others works good.

  • Migrating away from Fedora, looking for advice.
  • My computer is a Ryzen with AMD GPU as well. Drivers are embedded on kernel, so any distro should fit. Flatpak works fine too, but of course, you will need to install it and add Flathub - simple, but needed ( https://flathub.org/setup/openSUSE ). Steam runs fine, if I remember well. Blender I don't know, I never used.

  • Migrating away from Fedora, looking for advice.
  • Personally, I use Debian, but it's a different approach from Fedora. My suggestion for you is to try OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. It's a rolling release, which means bleeding edge software as Fedora, it's RPM based and it's easy to rollback in case of an update breaks something. As I said, not my type of distro (I want 0 breaks), but I used OpenSUSE once while distro hopping and it's a good distro.

  • How do you say C#?
  • r/ithadtobeinbrazil. Oh, wait! Fuck Reddit! (C-Tic-tac-toe-board, for the English readers)

    😃

  • Terminal emulators
  • I like terminator, it has a lot of options like tabs, split screen, transparency. On the down side, if I remember well it lacks hardware acceleration as Alacritty.

  • I have no idea what this means
  • Yes, that's correct. Jerboa was updated yesterday and it's "pushing" the instance you're using to login to Lemmy to be updated.
