    Yeah that is mainly what attracts me to Ubuntu and Arch. :lol:

     

    I've been trying to main on Linux again for a bit here and now when I go into Windows I really fucking miss GNOME's activities hot corner feature being so easy.  That and I love having GUAKE slide down for terminal shit (I have to SSH into my servers all the time for this and that).

     

    I've thought about trying Debian but that seems like ultra stable like way the fuck behind.  I felt like Ubuntu LTS was a nice middle ground.

     

    +1 for Guake, I've been using it for years now. Whenever I'm behind a different box I end up opening weird programs cause SHIFT + ESC key binding I use triggers other shit.

     

    Debian is behind a lot indeed, I only use it for systems that need to be really stable. Just run Docker on it for your custom services, but let the core be stable af.

    @Truami

    You ever play with CentOS for web servers?  I have tried a few times but I detest building my own software and their community repos don't seem as robust as Ubuntu.

     

    Sure, I've used CentOS. I just really love the way Debian handles it's packages, which means I hardly ever have to build my own software. Exactly your point. :)

     

    But if I had CentOS, I'd still use it over Windows/Mac. ?

    How long

    I've been using Linux for over 20 years now, full-time. And I've been using it as a daily (work) driver for pretty much over 12 years.

     

    Which distros?

    I stick to Debian-derived. For servers I try to use Debian, but sometimes switch to Ubuntu if I need some more bleeding-edge software.

    Desktop I run the latest Ubuntu LTS, and only upgrade to a new LTS.

     

    For what?

    I have a couple of VPSes that run various websites and selfhosted tools (like gitlab, bitwarden), on Debian/Ubuntu.

    I run Ubuntu on my XPS15 as a development powerhouse, so that's Chrome/IntelliJ/Docker and a various host of other tooling that relates to my work.

    Also I fiddle around with my Synology NAS (which runs a Linux variant) a lot, and still have a Pi with Raspbian running in the house.

     

    You try gaming on it lately?

    Actually, yes. Steam + Proton is AWESOME. I agree with @webhead that this is a major leap in consumer gaming for the platform, although purist will say "ye but its wine". As a consumer idgaf, and I'm glad I can finally play (most of) the games I want without any hassle.

     

    Verdict

    People around me use Windows, a lot use Mac, but they are all idiots. Linux is win.

    • Some of the cities in central Europe. Especially Prague, and also Budapast, Vienna, Salzburg etc. Maybe it'd be nice to go through the Alsps in Spring/Summer too, I've only been in Winter.

     

    I recommend Vienna and Bucharest. Both great cities with a ton of history!

    • Lisbon -  I've been to Portugal a few times, but never to Lisbon. It looks really cool, and from what I can gather has a really nice, chilled vibe.

     

    It's all it's made up to be, we went there two years ago and loved it!

    Not Europe

    • Tokyo. It's not so much a weeb dream anymore, but I think it'd be a very interesting place to visit. Also, I could stock up on clothes that actually fit me properly. :O
    • Hong Kong and/or Shanghai. I can't even explain why, really; I just kind of love that sort of place.
    • New York. I go in and out of fancying a visit to New York (mainly depending on how much I've been listening to Vampire Weekend recently), but I imagine it'd be pretty cool.

     

    Visited those, here's my recommendation:

    Shanghai: Yes

    New York: YES

    Hong Kong: YESSS

    Tokyo: HELLLLL YESSS

    I was already half out the door, but your begging made me turn around, if but slightly.

     

    Beg more, peasants, and bring me some pleasant sacrifices.

    I've been around quite a bit, but here are some of the places I'd love to visit:

    • Mongolia: Riding a horse of the grassland
    • Botswana: Seeing the salt planes
    • New Zealand: Going around north & south island on a motorcycle
    • Isle of Man: Want to visit the TT, but it's so expensive and always full

    Good to hear your life is awesome nowadays, and I'm glad I could be your hero. I'm sure I still am to this day. Can you take a photo of the shrine you built for me?

     

    Luna is a really cool name btw

    In the past couple of years we've traveled to Sri Lanka, Thailand, Lapland (northern Finland), Portugal and Spain. Loved most of them!

     

    Developing is going pretty well too, as a freelancer I find it pretty easy to find new jobs and the pay is pretty good too. Got a couple of weeks to go at my current workplace (enterprise level), so I'm looking around for something new. Might go for a smaller company, there's so much red tape around here..

    These guys do some great bike videos, especially their Budget Bike Battles are pretty epic (think old-school Top Gear specials, but with bikes). Plus Boot Bananas promo's are the jizz.

    Just an old german guy building crazy things. It's fun to laugh at his character and accent and how "unedited" the content is compared to most well-produced online material nowadays. Brings back some memories to the older internet.

    It also makes me feel like a dum-dum, but in a "would be" world of futurism.
