  • aren't any devs working on X.

    Didn't know about that! Good for them. I would still argue it's a very popular and successful software despite it's unholy codebase.

    It really is a "rock and a hard place" ...

    Yeah. I hope it's just a vocal minority but it's depressing when you see people act like this in the wild.

  • My thoughts on this? I think people should care less about what software other people use.

    Man, display servers look hard to develop and I'm glad we have two amazing/successful projects to choose between! I think the devs who work on X are doing an amazing job and it's amazing to see how passionate the devs/users are for Wayland.

    If bobby tables likes to use x because they know how it works and are comfortable with it, let them work with x! If you think it's okay to judge/pester/shame people because some software they choose to use, shame on you! In the end, does it really matter what you use.

  • NixOS.

    Cool package manager but constantly breaking compatibility with none nix package managers really annoyed me. (Ghcup, mason, etc...)

    Also how difficult they made compiling software from source. I could live with nix packages if I could also compile the programs I need from source.

    Great server os. I don't understand how people use it as a daily driver

  • How can I migrate my existing /home/ directory to another drive?

    Jump

  • the mv home is just renaming the folder so you can mount home in the same space. Rsync is probably better than cp but I didn't want to suggest tools that op doesn't have installed.

  • This is a rough guide written on mobile. its probably best if someone double check some of this stuff before op tries it.

  • Log in as root to avoid trying to make sure no files in /home/ are being read/written to.

    Step 1: copy data to new drive. Mount new drive to /mnt/. cp -ra /home/* /mnt/. -a means that all permissions remain the same which will mean that your user can still read them. Check the man page for more details. This command will take a while. Use -v to see progress. You should see a folder with your username appear.

    Step 2. Prepare /home for new drive. Move the files to a new folder. This is done to make sure you can still easily go back. mv /home/ /home-bak/ keep your old home dir safe in case a mistake was made. mkdir /home/.

    Step 3. Mount your new drive. Mount your drive to /home/ and check if you can login. If everything went correctly, you should be able to just login. Finally you need to update your /etc/fstab to include this new drive. This will make sure your home drive mounts when you start your os. If everything is working, you can delete your home-bak as well.

  • Linux has ulimit so I assume docker does aswell

  • What is the original size of the program before docker?

    edit: Also the docker sandbox is not perfect for running unsafe programs. You could still have programs slow down your entire system by taking as many resources as possible. eg. forkbombs.

  • Not sure why people are downvoting this person. They aren't wrong that Linux enthusiast threads can make it scary for new users to try Linux out. Unfortunately, I did want to see what Linux enthusiasts are running and why they picked it, which is why I made this thread.

    If you are a new user trying to get into Linux, I wouldn't recommend some suggestions in this thread as advice for picking a distro. When I was getting into Linux, I attempted to go straight into DWM/arch because another Linux enthusiast thread said it was great. Needless to say, I had a terrible time.

    It doesn't actually matter distro what you pick, so long as you have fun with it and it is useable! :)
