@lemmy.worldHello. For context, I am in a university. I do not have any friends, and it feels like colleagues talk bad about me. This makes me quite hesitant to join any circles or attend seminars. I am not sure it is everyone who thinks bad about me though, I fear about asking. Yet I plan to do research, so I should attend seminars to learn current trends and stuffs. May I ask what I should do in such a situation? Are friends necessary, or not really? Also should I stop being in this environment and get a job instead? Thanks for reading lengthy paragraph, I would love any comments or advice for this.
I know that GUI does not cover most of functionalities, for good reasons - being specialized to task (like files app), it provides more fine-grained experience.
Yet, I find that there are common commands which is terminal-only, or not faithfully implemented. for instance,
apt update/apt upgrade
might be needed, as GUI may not allow enough interactions with it.These could cause some annoyance for those who want to avoid terminal unless necessary (including me). Hence, I bet there are terminal emulators which restricts what commands you could run, and above all, present them as buttons. This will make you recall the commonly used commands, and run them accordingly. Is there projects similar to what I describe? Thanks!
Found out the version of neovim on PopOS was fairly outdated, and I would like to use more recent versions. So I am confronted with these choices : Do I go for PPAs, or is distrobox fine for this purpose? While distrobox works well, I am worried that mismatches in packages could cause issues.
About flatpak: it is a no-go for me in this usecase, since it takes quite a bit of configuration to "escape" the sandbox.
I installed Pop_OS in place of ubuntu last week, and loving it so far. Most things worked out-of-the-box, but there is this one thing that has been bothering me.
Whenever I open the lid of my laptop, the fan goes crazy and becomes very loud. Strangely, changing the battery option to "High Performance" seems to silence it. Why is this happening, and how can I remedy this issue?
Hello! Steam updated today and the scaling got messed up. Even after checking the option for automatic scaling, all the texts and icons look super small. Perhaps it has to do with me using 1440p.. do you guys know of any fix/workaround? Thank you!
EDIT: Now it is working well! I should have tried "turning it off and on again"..
