They’re freaking fantastic at general info. I almost never Google anything anymore, especially when it needs a long question from me to explain it well. I got a new gas stove and I needed to get rid of a message that was stuck on the screen. ChatGPT gave me the answer right away. Lol
So glad this helped. I use AI a lot for many things, especially those things that require a detailed explanation from me (which googling normally doesn’t get right). It is like talking to a super duper googler who can search the whole web for you in seconds and put together a good answer. I’ve had Claude and chatGPT help me fix so many critical issues on my distro. They almost always get it right. I also use them to generate any reparative code that I need. I also make them do all css and HTML (no one has time to for that shit. Lol). They also help with producing logic if you’re stuck on a part of your project. Even if they don’t get it right, they give you a good explanation and and a better idea on what to do. One thing they all failed at 100% at a time is negative unit tests. For some reason, I’ve never been able to get them to give me one successful negative test.
Awesome. Thank you so much for the detailed explanation. I really appreciate it.
I can make it back up data, too? I do snapshots on btrfs. Not sure if that’s the same as their regular backup, is it? Damn, man. Why is it hard to make a backup? Lol
I might just look into clonezilla or something then.
So you’re telling me what Pika is doing is the same I’m doing by copying my home folder into an external drive? Ha! I do use timeshift. Does timeshift take a whole system backup that includes the whole system, its apps and their data? If so, which files/folder do I need to copy of timeshift so I can put them on one of the external drives so I can use them after a reinstall. Since it backs up on the same drive it’s installed on and reinstalling would delete timeshift and its backup files.
Man, this is nice. Having an actual productive conversation on the internet without the battle of upvotes and downvotes. Lol
Anyway, I’ll watch the system and see if things are missing after removing those fonts. All what I removed was any
noto sans + <a country whose language I don't speak>
I use segoe variable for the system and Jetbrains mono font for the terminal and and whatever the default that comes with jetbrains Rider. KDE plasma a ton of that Noto Sans font. Around 60 if I’m not mistaken. I’ve deleted a bunch of it with other languages that I don’t need (not sure if that’s a good idea, but it was annoying scrolling through all these fonts to find the one I want). Whatever Noto Sans that has a country name at the end of it I deleted it.
That was a great read, although I didn’t understand all of it. All I know is that my font looks fantastic now and is better than it is on windows using the same monitors. I have two 27" 4k monitors and I have been struggling with the font for a long time. No more.
I’m not sure honestly. I have not used Debian in a long time. I don’t see why it wouldn’t. Make a backup and try it. It is all the same except the packages downloads commands.
Is it better now?
I appreciate you pointing that out. I used a client called photon and it was awful. So, I fixed it under the mobile app “voyager” and hopefully it’s better now? Let me know so I can dig into more.
Unfortunately, I forgot. But I can tell you that the font has really rough edges and it looked very weird. I have two 4k monitors and the font was awful on them. It now looks even better than windows on them.
KDE plasma on endeavour OS is what I’m running, btw.
Thank you for pointing that out. I’ll fix it. I used photon client and it has some real issues with styling posts.
And I’m getting downvoted for trying to help. 😂
Thank you. I think I already have that installed.
I think RADV is what I’m using. I’ll have to double check, as it’s been a long time since messing with the drivers.
Appreciate it. Is there a gui for LACT? (I worry so much that I’d mess things up when it’s a config file). Would you be able to share your configs?
Thank you.
Not being dismissive, just expressing an interest in something different.
That is being maintained by the kde team.
Very good to hear. It did make a huge difference for me, that’s why I shared it right away. I was so happy with the results I couldn’t wait to share with everyone.
