I'm finally putting together a list of "getting started with #nixos" videos aimed at beginners to Nix.

I'd love any feedback, positive or negative on this!

@FlashMobOfOne Yes.. i watched the clip to see if he actually said it and YES.. he literally said "F around and find out"

Glorious

Damn I love #Philly

@killyourfm Amen to that.

@MarkAssPandi haha noooo. But don't give me any ideas lol

Can't stop appreciating the #SteamDeck and #Valve and #Proton in general.

FFXIV online used to be one of my fav games, but was always a pain to run on anything but windows. And even then, you needed an annoyingly big rig to play it.

Fast forward today, I installed it on my Linux powered handheld. Just wow.

I know I'm annoyingly positive on Linux.

But this is why.

Someone gave me this all in one computer they were about to throw away because it was so slow and broken under windows. It's running like a new machine now with #LinuxMint in control now, and will last years now.

I recently set up my wife's new MacBook air and felt that MacOS has gotten way more annoying and pushy with repeatedly having to log into things over and over.

It's apparently a vibe they're going for.

@FlashMobOfOne it is work. But I own my own business lol. It's just really freaking hard right now.

I'm the worst boss I've had lol

@FlashMobOfOne that's kinda my problem. I am. But the number of peices keep growing.

It's like the harder I swim, the deeper I sink

What do you do when everything feels impossible?

@killyourfm looks refreshing!

What are the temps there? In F for my american brain

Which #thinkpad keyboard did it better?

The classic T410 or the new X1 Extreme?

@joshthetechie like ZERO signs of wear

@FlashMobOfOne god I hate Nvidia. Great job!

Need a #linux opinion here. What do y'all use for basic video editing?

Not looking to do anything crazy, but want to do some quality screen casting courses. I know OBS is good for capture. But curious about cutting and editing.

@forteller this is absolutely a passion of mine. What do you think needs to be outlined, explained and taught to newcomers?

@clacke I did already give my talk and ended up with some basic clicker from Amazon. Worked great with Linux!

Serious question. Are there any #macos users (especially #developers) who are curious about switching to or trying #linux?

I've been toying with the idea of making very specific well done training videos to support that.

But not sure anyone cares.

Does anyone know how to backup my owned DVD's and Bluerays on Linux? (#nixos)

Looks like handbrake doesn't do it. So i'm curious what the blessed way to do this is?

I want to just make 800m lower quality versions of these I can watch them on my smart tv in my RV.
