It’s not super difficult to host your own gitlab instance tbh.

Not directly related but RISC-V is also really nice to to program with. I hope it takes off because it has fewer niche instructions that may slow down a system (x86 sucks in that regard).

If you prefer to live your life in ignorance and don’t want to learn about other perspectives, then there is no point discussing anything with you as you ignore empirical evidence. If facts scare you, then there’s no conversation to be had as it’ll be like I’m talking to a brick wall. Anyone that unironically uses the word “NPC” is a moron. Please do some self reflection, and have a good day.

Alright so nothing of substance was said in this response. Please go to college kids.

So saving the planet is now communist? Did you ever learn what communism really means or did you learn it from social media?

Lmao my university also uses centos 7 for their ancient-ass SSH server. Even the professors just told us to use a VM because they didn’t want to use an old version of clang anymore.

Yeah gcc and mingw took ages back when I learned cpp a few years ago. This was back in high school when I barely knew what Linux was, so it never occurred to me that I could do that. Eventually gave up on setting it up in VScode and used codeblocks and spent the semester dealing with that GUI.

Posts like this are why Linux users have a bad rep. I like Linux but a lot of tools I use are developed for windows, not Linux. I use Nvidia gpus (because I have to for CUDA) which are known to bug out on Linux.

My reasons are almost the exact same as yours. CUDA, software compatibility, and not wanting to mess with dual boot in case I mess up. I ended up trying linux mint on an external drive and it works pretty well, but I don’t think I see myself using this full time beyond software development.

Yeah some of the Reddit comment sections I’ve seen over the years have been full of people trying to instigate something.

So I think I got it to work. Used a virtual machine to install it onto the drive, and now my laptop boots to Ubuntu when the drive is plugged in. Took a while for me to figure out which partition sizes I needed for stuff since I wanted to do manual partitioning.

Yeah there’s a ton of stuff to learn. I’ve got some experience from my college courses but I want to get ahead before I take the ones that really test my Linux knowledge.

I’m probably going to stick with something simple like Ubuntu 22.04 since some software I use is only supported on that.

I’m going to play around with it soon by installing full Linux onto an external SSD. I’ll let you know how it goes. I’ve seen some guides and tutorials that mention that it’s possible.

I’ve seen tutorials where people installed Linux using a virtual machine that can only see the ISO usb and the drive you are installing Linux on to do that. It’ll be a pain removing the drives from my laptop. I probably won’t be dual booting because I use nvidia GPUs + can’t switch to Linux full time because nvidia and I use CUDA for projects.

I’ll be trying out Linux outside of a virtual machine for the first time. I’ve got a SATA SSD external enclosure that I’ll be using to boot without messing with my current pc

I know a lot of people haven’t moved yet because the only communities they cared about are still on Reddit and have made no indication of moving away from it.

I think it’s because threads is just a new front end for instagram. It’s just instagram with a twitter skin applied to it.
