  • I don’t have a car, so if I have to go ‘back to the office’, I will have to use the bus, wake up earlier, and commuting (even with my current employer being 15’ away by bus) is still 30 minutes out of my day that I don’t want to spend. When I am at home, I can just stand up, play some piano to relax, or have a short shower. Things that help me calm a little bit that I can’t do at an office. I also have a better setup than the setup at the company’s office, so why bother.

    To be honest, as long as companies open remote positions, I don’t think I want to go back to any office whatsoever.


  • to be honest, i agree with you. Although you can learn the same things through debian or ubuntu for example, their wikis are in no-way comparable to arch+gentoo. Having tried LFS, I think it is a great experience but definitely not something i could daily-drive. FreeBSD is something I have not tried; nixOS as well. I have used OpenBSD but it feels a bit slow compared to linux - at least as a desktop OS.


  • Every distribution offers different things. I like debian sid for the simplicity and general software availability, but APT is something i still consider a bit clunky. I like arch because of its barebones philosophy - arch wiki helped me a lot learn about linux. I like gentoo - the wiki is awesome and portage is a great package manager. It was the first time I saw how the linux kernel gets compiled. It makes you appreciate all the work the devs do. I now read the title and you ask for the opposite. But someone might find these bad, so i will post it as-is




  • I feel like instead of writing ‘fuck spez’ on reddit, the best decision is to ditch it completely. I mean, I do still visit reddit due to some niche communities that don’t have that big of a user-base on lemmy, but clearly reddit exists for 10+ years. The change can’t happen overnight. In any case, I am still astonished by how quickly lemmy got that much traffic. From a small village, it has turned into a city, it’s incredible. :)
