It is and you’re right, but there point op was making (perhaps not very well) is that a plain monoculture grass field is about as biodiverse as a car park. In order to be a sustainable ecological habitat for life more is needed than just grass.
Water, trees, bushes, flowering plants etc. These provide shade, places to nest and food that is needed for life to thrive.
A field is essentially an ecological wasteland.
Favourite CLI I’d say is Junos. Structured, hierarchical, flexible.
I’ve jumped. My old Win10 PC doesn’t have a modern enough CPU to support Windows11, and after having seen what MS are doing with it I wasn’t interested in upgrading anyway. I used to use Ubuntu back in my younger days at school so I’m not completely alien to Linux, but I’d turned my back on it in favour of Microsoft productivity suites after moving into the full time work arena. Once support ended for Win10 I flattened my hard disks and made the move.
While I do have Ubuntu/Debian experience, I ultimately decided against going down that path because I’m not too happy with the recent decisions Canonical has made. Plus, I’m a gamer deep down and was interested to see what gaming on Linux looks like nowadays (my last attempt was a half-assed install of Left4Dead 2 when Valve were just figuring things out), so I ultimately settled on CachyOS. Going from Ubuntu and Gnome through 10 years of Windows to land at Arch and KDE has been one hell of a journey and I’m surprised by how little I know in this environment. It is NOT like riding a bike, a few years away really feels like learning from scratch again!
Things are going well though. I’m running Steam/Heroic with a bunch of games installed (Proton 😍), I’m back with LibreOffice and GIMP (though I never really stopped using GIMP), and I’m learning a bunch of new terminology and apps. It doesn’t matter that because of forced obsolescence there’s no way back to MS, I’m only interested in going forward anyway.
Join us. It’s not as scary as you think.
Most accurate comment I ever read
I was so up for getting one until I heard the strategy on pricing, now I’m thoroughly disinterested in owning one, but am still hopeful that this will help open up the latest Steam OS builds for custom devices
Tried HeliBoard?
Need to move to a free-er country than the UK.
My VPN sub has expired so I can’t see it either
I moved to GrapheneOS about a month ago, not too long after the announcement. Bought a used Pixel and jumped. TBH moving to Graphene was something I’d considered for a while for privacy reasons but Google gave me that last push.
There are some different ways of doing things but I’ve really enjoyed the transition overall.
That thing is gonna be huge when it’s finished growing
I have 2 ThinkPads - a Yoga 370 and a Yoga X13, both running different Linux flavours and they’re honestly the best laptops I’ve ever had. Very capable, sturdy, great keyboards, working touchscreens, pens and fingerprint scanners, passwordless encryption with TPM+LUKS.
The 370 struggles a bit with heavy browser usage sometimes but otherwise they’re both rock solid
