I joined Lemmy back in 2020 and have been using it as qaz@lemmy.ml until somewhere in 2023 when I switched to lemmy.world. I’m interested in systemd/Linux, FOSS, and Selfhosting.

    I use OpenSUSE Tumbleweed because it focuses more on KDE than GNOME, is quite stable, and has snapshots to roll back to in case something does go wrong. I don’t want to mess with my OS, I just want it to work reliably. I do use Debian on some devices (like my server) but the software (especially in terms of GUI apps) is very outdated and it doesn’t come with the other features of OpenSUSE out of the box.

















  • It’s further than you think. I spoke to someone today about and he told me it produced a basic SaaS app for him. He said that it looked surprisingly okay and the basic functionalities actually worked too. He did note that it kept using deprecated code, consistently made a few basic mistakes despite being told how to avoid it, and failed to produce nontrivial functionalies.

    He did say that it used very common libraries and we hypothesized that it functioned well because a lot of relevant code could be found on GitHub and that it might function significantly worse when encountering less popular frameworks.

    Still it’s quite impressive, although not surprising considering it was a matter of time before people would start to feed the feedback of an IDE back into it.
