  • Too many times I’ve been at the very limit of failing to deliver an assignment. I used to have classes from morning to night (used to get home at 23:00) and sometimes I did homework at uni and scan/upload in my computer since camera-scanned documents don’t look as good, so I had to deliver them ASAP, but Windows would take a LOT of time to load Teams and sometimes it started applying updates at startup, so it would be SLOW AS HELL.

    Just some days ago it happened again (the homework was assigned a day before) so I booted up windows and what a surprise (/s) it started applying updates, so Teams wouldn’t even open. I had to send the files from there to my linux computer (I love you, KDE connect!) because I still had to add some things to the document and Teams for Linux loaded in a second lol


  • I’m still using Docker Rootless, which I want to change for Podman since Rootless is second-class for Docker, but I haven’t been able to read the documentation enough to understand Podman Quadlets to migrate my compose files, and there are some incompatible configurations so even if using podlet, I have to edit some things manually.

    I also want to migrate to MicroOS if possible in my server, but I’m still testing things in a VM to understand enough and the cost-benefit u.u



  • That would be wonderful! I got the opportunity to try Linux when I was like 5 (didn’t know it was Linux) and even though I was already very interested in computers, I didn’t know I was using Linux nor how capable it was.

    It took time until I had my own laptop and could start learning new things, and only knowing about Linux from afar since I wasn’t able to install it myself and didn’t have any adults that could teach me, but you could be that person to this kid (if they’re interested in the future ofc)!




  • That used to happen to me A LOT. Right now it only happens because I have a faulty RAM that I’m planning to replace very soon, but before that, I think the CPU was overheated and it forcefully rebooted my laptop, at least that was my impression by the logs at boot.

    After a long time of debugging, I decided to, first, disable hibernation to see if that was a problem, then I disabled CPU boost and I think that was the cause of overheating, since, for some reason, my distro decided that it was a good idea to use CPU boost for any common task and it caused overheating.

    I haven’t had any problems not related to faulty RAM since then lol

    Same for me, all the support I had for Windows was “reinstall” or “have you checked the latest version of ‘x’ driver?”. Now I can actually solve my problems or maybe someone knows how to, there’s a big community with real access to debugging tools that may be able to help.

    I won’t deny that some people are annoying and don’t help at all, but you can always move to the next community or just change distros. I distrohopped using VMs because I couldn’t risk losing work in my laptop and then chose one (openSUSE Tumbleweed) which has its own problems, but I now can understand why something happens (or not).

    Also, some problems that I’ve encountered are only problems for me, some people would not even care about them, but I do and that gave me the tools to help other people when they need it (mostly friends from my career trying Linux).








  • Couldn’t get the geolocation work for weeks in openSUSE. I, supposedly, read the manual and checked everywhere and even asked in the opensuse forum, since the timing was perfect with Mozilla shutting down MLS, and it probably was a reason, but also any other alternative didn’t work. Some days ago I decided to RTFM of geoclue again, only to find out that I could just “hardcode” my location in an /etc/geolocation file >:(
