Graphene is set to reboot after six hours of inactivity, ensuring that it reboots every night after I've gone to bed.

The sheer power of forklifts is unbelievable. Consider what we're looking at for a moment. That was likely an ~8000lb lift going ~ 5mph that did this. A blunt metal fork straight through a steel beam. The absolute danger of a careless driver on a forklift is rarely understood.

I loved being a forklift trainer but the stupid shit the other trainers got away with when teaching people was unreal. No appreciation for the magnitude of the responsibility of driving those machines. The trainees suffered for it. Fucking human wrecking balls driving around the warehouse.

Those are all jobs a human could have. That's a reason to be upset if you ask me.

Seriously, of all people they're the ones that have been around since the internet's inception. They've had more time to adapt than anyone.

Are you using a 1080p display?

I have a single 2k monitor and have gotten rid of my second monitor thanks to the real estate it offers. I've always wanted to have a large 4k TV as a main display and have my 2k monitor for games requiring fast response time.

Take a look at Zorin. I was really impressed by its UI. Simple and effective.

Can recommend ZorinOS. My mom was still on Win7 a few months ago and her computer was slow as hell.

Wiped Windows off the drive, repurposed it for storage, bought an SSD and installed Zorin. She loves it.

Can confirm that Graphene is easy as hell to get up and running and is an excellent OS.

Thanks for this. I'm kinda concerned about attempting this on my current machine. I've got it set up as a music studio PC with Steam as a secondary feature. It works great with all my recording peripherals so I'm hesitant to introduce additional complexity to it with these drivers. I'd like to move away from Win entirely but its not exactly a do or die situation for me right now.

My linux install is on its own SDD separate from Win. I only use WIN for simracing and counter-strike so that use case is very limited. Also I don't think iRacing's anti-cheat runs on Linux yet? I'll have to investigate.

Peripherals. AFAIK Fanatec gear doesn't run on Linux yet.

Am I the only one that thinks we should have dedicated buttons for copy/paste on keyboards? (lemmy.ca)
 

I was just reading this thread... https://sh.itjust.works/post/23476261

...and it got me thinking about something that I've wanted for a long time. Why is it that keyboards have not evolved to have dedicated copy/paste keys left of the main board? I'd love to see an additional column of keys left of Esc->Ctrl configurable as macros at least. I do a lot of copy/paste for work. The current shortcuts arent terrible or anything but they're not exactly comfortable. I'd rather move my whole hand to the left for a macro key than contort to hit the current shortcut.

What do you think?

Why are so many people so fixated on Lemmy's growth? (lemmy.ca)

...relative to Reddit's size?

I see so many posts and comments voicing disappointment with Lemmy's lack of massive expansion.

I too want to see Lemmy gain more users, but I do not want it to grow to Reddit's size. If Reddit is the yardstick, I'd say that a population that large attracts a lot of negative behaviours; degeneration of discourse, amplification of echo chambers and hive mind behaviour, etc...

I started on Reddit in 2010 and found that by 2016 things were really bad in comparison. A fun and engaging site was experiencing an obvious devolution that persists to this day, accelerated by Spez's enshittification of the platform. Obviously the fediverse insulates us from that occurring here but I think you get what I mean.

Do you you think Lemmy is too small? I don't. I've been here since the great migration last year and have had a really good time. I see a lot of familiar names in the comments on a daily basis. It actually feels like a community here. I guess I just don't understand the fixation on the size of Lemmy's user base. Curious to hear your thoughts.

[EDIT] Thanks for all the responses, everyone! Lots of perspectives I hadn't yet considered.
