Wow... Just wow! Thank you for your elaborate answer! I'll check your profile out, maybe I can learn something.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Looks very creepy and calming at the same time. I like it, thanks for sharing!

How did you make the light twigs stand so out? Local contrast?
Do you want to tell me your editing, just for learning purposes?

Maybe consider buying hardware with better Linux support in the future, e.g. getting an AMD GPU instead of a Nvidia if you want to get a new one anyway.

I personally have zero issues with my (relatively normal) setup. Even more, I have better hardware support on Linux than on Windows! For example, I noticed that I can dim my monitor, which doesn't work on Windows!
Or, my GPU is more silent, because Bazzite and the Linux kernel ship some tweaks that make the energy draw and fan curve more efficient in my experience.

Again, I think it's just your hardware, especially the multi monitor. Multi monitor is supposed to be fine on AMD (can't confirm, I only have one ultra wide), or single/ dual monitor is also supposed to be almost great on Nvidia, with the proprietary drivers.

If you have a spare laptop with proper Linux support (most ones do, even with Nvidia, Surface, etc.) consider installing it and just try it out. uBlue (Aurora/ Bluefin, Bazzite, etc.) is great for that, so, maybe check that out.

If not, then we'll welcome you again in a few years. The OS is just a tool, use the best suited one for your use case. In yours, it may be Windows currently.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Bazzite offers a variant with Nvidia drivers already baked in too.

You don't have to reinstall anything btw, you can just rebase from Kinoite to Bazzite with rpm-ostree rebase *link to Bazzite*. (You find the instructions on the website).

It takes about 5 minutes and you can keep all your configs and data, including Flatpaks, pictures and WiFi password. And if you don't like it, you can revert that or rebase to some other variant, e.g. Aurora, the Sway spin, or whatever. I find it pretty neat.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 5 months ago (2 children)

+1 for Fedora Atomic.
Especially Bazzite comes with Nvidia drivers already built in and everything should just werk™.
It's very modern and reliable. If it doesn't work with that, nothing will.

To be fair, the use case is very demanding. Just 2 years ago, we were glad that we can play more than one game on Steam, and now, we're complaining that our triple monitor setup with Nvidia and VRR/HDR doesn't work perfectly. I'm happy we're at this point, but some things, like that, may hinder the wide spread adoption...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

AFAIK the uBlue stock image is even leaner than Silverblue. uBlue doesn't contain any pre-installed Flatpaks by default.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago (4 children)

Maybe take a look at universal-blue.org, especially the Aurora (KDE) or Bluefin (Gnome), too. It's basically the same, but with some QoL stuff already added, like proprietary drivers and more already set up for you for a nicer experience.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 6 months ago (3 children)

For one thing, image based distros are very convenient. If you tell someone "Just install Bazzite", they will probably have a nice gaming experience without any tinkering, because everything is already set up for you ootb.

You have to understand the concept first. Fedora Atomic/ image based distros are built from top to bottom, not on the same level. If something changes from "above", your install will change too, to an 1:1 copy basically.
Problem is, if stock Fedora isn't allowed to ship/ doesn't have some things pre-installed, it's harder to iron out on the user level, e.g. by negatively affecting update times.

uBlue is basically a "build script", that takes the upstream image, modifies it, and redistributes that with the changes included.
In that way, the image from other users is the same as yours, with the same bugs.
This makes it more efficient and user friendly.

It also allows devs to make their "own" distro with only their changes included, while offering a very solid base they don't have to maintain themselves.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

Thanks for your answer.

This may sound harsh, but I'm glad I'm on Fedora Atomic. Suse sounds a bit shitty/ not much better than the regular edition.

As ~~distro~~ desktop hopper, the ability to rebase to other spins is one major aspect of using Atomic, and I use it all the time.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago (3 children)

Please tell me more about OpenSuse Kalpa/ Aeon/ MicroOS.

I'm a huge fan of Fedora Atomic, but find Suse interesting as well.

What are the differences between the two?

  • Layering packages (rpm-ostree alternative?)
  • Are updates still reproducible and atomic?
  • What is the difference between Tumbleweed and Kalpa? You named snapshots. Are they different from Snapper?
  • Can you rebase between Aeon and Kalpa?
  • Why Suse and not Fedora?
[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Yeah, of course it is. I use it too for 3D-modeling, image editing and more.

For general purpose, it's pretty normal. Its' main advantages really only shine in gaming stuff.

But, to be fair, I don't know if the tweaks optimised for gaming don't negatively affect other stuff. I didn't notice anything yet, but you can't be sure.

 

Hey! Ich habe ja folgenden Post hier gemacht: https://feddit.de/post/10500853

Jetzt bin ich ein wenig unschlüssig, was ich will und bräuchte euren Input.

Hintergründe und Gedanken:

  • Ich muss täglich 10-15 km einfach zur Arbeit hin zurücklegen, und möchte das mit dem Fahrrad tun
  • Die Strecke ist zu einem großen Teil kurvenfrei und ohne Gefälle und ein ausgebauter, guter Radweg. Leider auf einer flachen Ebene, heißt, ich könnte Probleme mit Gegenwind kriegen.
  • Ich will das Rad nicht unbedingt als Sportgerät verwenden, aber meine Fitness schon gerne verbessern. Ich will mich aber nicht jedes Mal in aerodynamische Fahrradleggins quetschen. Da ich aber kein Rennen fahre, wo ein paar Sekunden hier und da einen riesen Unterschied machen, sollte es egal sein, ob meine Jacke bisschen schlabbert.
  • Mir ist die Geschwindigkeit schon relativ wichtig. Ein E-Bike schaltet (und bremst) sich nsch 25 km/h selbst, aber auf der geraden Strecke würde ich mit dem Rennrad vermutlich deutlich höhere Geschwindigkeiten hinkriegen (?)
  • Vorteil vom E-Bike wäre, dass ich es in ein Lastenrad unwandeln und damit auch mal ohne Auto nen Kasten Bier von A nach B transportieren kann.
  • Das Rennrad verschleist nicht so. Keine Technik (Akku, Motor, Elekronik, etc.) dahinter, nur bisschen normaler Wartungsaufwand.
  • Preis: ein gutes Rennrad krieg ich auf Kleinanzeigen schon ab 250€, ein E-Bike fängt erst bei 400-600€ an. Da ich aber täglich damit fahren werde, ist der Preis eher nebensächlicher.

Ich glaube, ich tendiere zu einem E-Bike.
Alleine schon die Tatsache, dass der Begriff in dem anderen Post ein paar Mals erwähnt wurde, sagt schon viel.

Aber was würdet ihr mir empfehlen? Was sind eure Erfahrungen?

 

Fahrradanfänger hier.

Ich wohne eher ländlich und die Öffi-Infrastruktur hier ist hundsmieserabel.
Meine neue Arbeit ist ~10-15 km einfach entfernt, wobei ein Großteil davon ein perfekt geteerter Fahrradweg ohne Steigung ist.

Beim größten Teil der Strecke herrscht zudem eine Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung von 60-80 km/h für Autos, daher wäre ich mitm Fahrrad auch nicht unbedingt viel langsamer.

Jetzt möchte ich mir ein Rennrad auf Kleinanzeigen kaufen, weiß aber überhaupt nicht, wo ich anfangen soll. Preislich ist absolut alles dabei, von 200-4000€.
Ich tendiere zu einem Mittelfeld-Rad zwischen 250-500€.

Was soll ich beim Kauf beachten?

  • Wie wichtig ist das Baujahr? Sind moderne Räder besser?

  • Wie hoch sind die Geschwindigkeitsunterschiede?

  • Was sollte das Rad haben, was ist nur Nice-to-have?

  • Wie kann ich ein funktionales Alltagsfahrrad (mit Rucksack, Jacke, etc.) haben, das trotzdem schnell ist?
    Wie wichtig ist die Aerodynamik wirklich, wenn mir paar Minuten hin oder her egal sind?

  • Wie mache ich das Rad verkehrssicher, ohne Einbußen?

  • Und was habt ihr für generelle Tipps?

I made this post mainly as discussion and suggestion for mods and posting people.


Browsing through this community (and before that, r/unixporn or r/usabilityporn on Reddit) feels a bit like wandering through a shopping catalogue. Sadly, a bad organised one.

Sometimes, I just enjoy looking at the awesome configs of other users and see what some WMs or DEs (or, to be more precise, their users!) are capable of, without any intentions to replicate it.
It's more of a "Oh, that looks neat, take my upvote!", but not much more. Similar to an art gallery.


And sometimes, I use it to find some inspiration and to recreate/ apply it on my setup.
In that regard, I always have a hard time sorting out or finding the right stuff.

Say, for example, if I want a good looking KDE setup, and I search for "Light mode", "Minimalist", "Elegant", or some other term, individually, I get random stuff like an anime hyprland configuration or someone posting their Cinnamon setup, because it had above keyword in the title. Meanwhile, the exact thing I searched for is named "Here's my comfy KDE style" and isn't listed in my results.
On Reddit, it was just as bad. And it's not because of the search capability, it's because of missing information.

If I search for all keywords together, I of course don't find anything because it's too restricted.

A question mainly for the mods: For future search accessibility, what do you think about making a rule (or, at least suggestion) to include category key words (for example "Hyprland, neon, anime, modern, dark mode, minimalist") aswell as the exact things used (icon theme, dotfiles, etc.) in the description?

In that way, we maybe could make an automated website/ category catalogue where we can filter and search better, where we can search hierarchically, e.g. "Desktop Environments > Plasma > Light mode > Modern" and see all posts linked there.

Another idea would be to link them in the sidebar, e.g. "List of Light KDE themes" or "Captppucin window managers".


What do you think of that?

 

Ich möchte auf c/Pilzzucht ein paar Tutorials veröffentlichen.
Dabei handelt es sich um Videos mit einer Länge von 1-3 Minuten.

So weit ich das richtig verstanden habe, kann man auf Lemmy generell keine Videos hochladen, nur Fotos.
Man soll/ kann sie aber auf Pixelfed veröffentlichen, da gibt's aber ein Größenlimit von 15 MB. Sollte ich stattdessen Peertube verwenden? Kann ich das irgendwie mit meinem Lemmy-Account verknüpfen?

Oder soll ich das lieber auf einer anderen Plattform uploaden und dann verlinken?

Aus ideologischen Gründen würde ich bevorzugt im Fediverse bleiben, oder zumindest nichts auf YouTube und co. veröffentlichen.
Was würdet ihr da empfehlen?

Was bevorzugt ihr - Dark Mode oder Light Mode?

Ich bin eher Team Hellmodus.

Ein Argument für den Dunkelmodus ist ja, dass er besser für die Augen ist.
Ich (und viele Augenärzte und Forscher) sehe das aber bisschen anders.
Ich finde schwarzen Text auf hellem Hintergrund, wie es bei Papier ist, deutlich angenehmer zu lesen und alle Icons/ Buchstaben schärfer und kontrastreicher.
Immer, wenn ich vom dunklen Modus auf den hellen umschalte, ist es so, als würde ich von HD zu Full-HD wechseln.
Im Dunkelmodus ist alles leicht unscharf und ich muss meine Augen mehr anstrengen.

Außerdem finde ich den hellen etwas stylischer und eleganter.

Abends aktiviere ich den Blaufilter, dann wirds nochmal angenehmer und augenfreundlicher.
Blaufilter + Darkmode = man sieht gar nichts mehr

Die Energieersparnis ist bei den meisten Bildschirmen ohnehin egal, weil sie beim LCD sowieso fast immer weiß leuchten, selbst wenn man etwas dunkles sieht.
So wirklich stark fällt das nur auf AMOLED Screens auf, z.B. am Handy. Da hält der Bildschirm ca. 10% länger bei mir.

Die häufigste Aussage für Dark Mode ist "Mir brennts sonst die Netzhaut weg.".
Schon mal dran gedacht, den Bildschirm dunkler zu machen? Wenn man drin ist, sollte er eh nicht heller als 50% sein imo.

Es gibt zwar Darkmode-Zwang-Addons, aber bei denen ist die Leserlichkeit meistens fürn Arsch. Darkmode kann sehr gut aussehen und leserlich sein, aber das erfordert viel UI-Umstrukturierung.
Wenn man dann 90% der Websites im Darkmode nativ hat, und aus Versehen eine der 10% hellen Seiten öffnet, ist das scheiße.

Was ich tatsächlich auch gut finde ist der Graumodus, insbesondere bei Bildbearbeitung (z.B. RawTherapee und Darktable). Der sieht zwar kacke aus, aber ist recht angenehm und kontrastreich.

Was bevorzugt ihr so? Wieso findet ihr Dark Mode besser? Wieso ist er, besonders bei Programmierern, der Standard?

 

I've always been a Gnome fanboy and couldn't imagine using something else.

I've dabbled into KDE every few months (by rebasing from Silverblue to Kinoite for example) and I've always switched back after a few weeks.

I always wished I liked KDE, because it's more powerful, but there always were show stoppers. Inconsistencies, bugs and crashes, too many options, cluttered UI, and more. My main argument to dislike it was that KDE tried to do everything all at once, but fails everywhere because nothing is polished and only 90% there.

Gnome on the other hand was simple and just worked, because every feature has been worked on thoroughly and integrated perfectly.
Still, there are just a few things I dislike on Gnome, especially the core problem of "sleeping" devs who decide against implementing stuff like fractional scaling or a good app tray.
The lack of modularity in Nautilus is also hugely annoying, especially when working with RAW pictures, where you don't see a picture. I had to install a photo viewer that is basically a second file manager just because of that. Dolphin does that out of the box.

Still, Gnome felt like the lesser evil for me.


This has changed now!

I rebased to the newest F40 beta (including KDE 6) and WOW!

Everything feels so polished and reworked. I have the feeling, on Plasma 5 were a lot of innovations and new features, but they were just thrown into the room incoherently.
Now, those have been reorganized and finished.

  • The design language is almost the same, but cleaned up and less cluttered,
  • I don't feel the need to change my themes, only the accent colour and the GTK theme. Breeze looks very mature and good now.
  • The gestures are pretty much on par with Gnome, which means A LOT.
  • It works pretty reliable, even though it's a beta and I will report bugs if I can.
  • Future stability should also be better now, due to the bundles release schedule like on Gnome. Devs had a hard time with that in the past, and I think many bugs were caused by that. Now, Plasma might ship as the default DE for some distros.
  • The settings are way more legible now and everything is easier to find.
  • I also liked KRunner more than Gnome's search and Dolphin is way better/ capable anyway.
  • And much more!

To the developers, you did a fucking great job! Keep going!
KDE feels SO professional now and finally reached its potential in my eyes. The last days have been very pleasant and I can't wait to rebase my devices to the stable release in 1-2 months!

 

ZL;NG: Potential vom Fediverse bezüglich Filterbubbles und Echokammern.


Ich habe letztens jemandem erklärt, wie das Fediverse (insbesondere Lemmy als Beispiel) funktioniert.

Auch, wenn ich extra betont habe, wie cool (oder blöd, je nach dem...) ich es finde, dass ich alle möglichen Leute (z.B. Furries, Kommunisten, Sozialisten, alte Leute, junge Leute, Hundemenschen, Nazis, Katzenmenschen, Veganer, Linuxuser, etc.) dort antreffe, kam die Aussage, dass dieses ganze Prinzip von Föderieren und Deföderieren, aber auch das Ausblenden ganzer Communities und die "Macht" der Moderatoren, ja die Definition einer Filterblase zu sein scheint.


Heute hab ich mal in die Blockliste von Feddit.de reingeschaut.
Eigentlich alles, was ich dort gesehen habe, war Scheiße, die ich echt nicht (besonders auf täglicher Basis) sehen will, z.B. Faschistenmüll (lemmygrad), Pornografie, usw.
Da bin ich den Seitenadmins auf jeden Fall schon mal für die Vorauswahl dankbar und finde, dass es eine recht vernünftige Aussortierung ist, die einen Grundpfeiler einer halbwegs zivilisierten Diskussion und Kultur darstellt.

Wenn ich mir jetzt aber beispielsweise die Blockliste (und Mentalität) von Lemmygrad ansehe, sind die aber schon deutlich heftiger unterwegs, mit ganz klaren Regeln, wer mit wem wie reden darf und für welchen Mist man gebannt werden kann. Faschos, die halt Faschodinge machen, wen wundert's...

Aber selbst da: wenn ich mir dort einen Account erstellen würde, wie sehr werde ich dann weiter radikalisiert und versumpfe weiter in meiner Bubble, wenn ich empfänglich dafür bin?

Und auch anders herum: hier auf Feddit und ähnlichen Seiten ist auch nicht das ganze Spektrum der Bevölkerung (oder Instanzen) abgebildet, und ich bin mir auch bewusst, dass wir hier ebenfalls eine kleine Bubble aus (übertrieben gesagt) links-grünen ITlern haben, während das rechte Stammtischgelabere unserer Eltern eher auf Facebook stattfindet.

Selbe Frage: Wie sehr würde ich, wenn theoretisch alle möglichen Bevölkerungsschichten hier vorzufinden wären, in einer Bubble landen?

  • Gar nicht, weil es keinen Algorithmus gibt?
  • Oder würden wir uns alle trotzdem radikalisieren/ isolieren, weil jede rechte Aussage auf einer linken Instanz beispielsweise gedownvotet wird und die dementsprechenden Leute auf eine andere Instanz abwandern?
  • Wie sehr begrüßt ihr es, dass gewisse "Idioten" (ich weiß nicht, wie ich die sonst bezeichnen soll), mit denen man ohnehin nicht mehr vernünftig reden kann, aus dem Gespräch ausgeschlossen werden?
  • Wie unterscheidet es sich von anderen Plattformen, wie YouTube, Instagram, und co.?
    Wenn ich auf YT z.B. ein Schwurbelvideo anklicke, wird einem direkt die ganze Startseite damit vollgemüllt. Trifft man hier auf mehr und diversere Meinungen, selbst, wenn man es aktiv nicht möchte?
 

That's a question I always asked myself.
Currently, I'm running Debian on both my servers, but I consider switching to Fedora Atomic Core (CoreOS), since I already use Fedora Atomic on my desktop and feel very comfortable with it.

There's always the mentality of using a "stable" host OS bein better due to following reasons:

  • Things not changing means less maintenance, and nothing will break compatibility all of the sudden.
  • Less chance to break.
  • Services are up to date anyway, since they are usually containerized (e.g. Docker).
  • And, for Debian especially, there's one of the biggest availability of services and documentation, since it's THE server OS.

My question is, how much of these pro-arguments will I loose when I switch to something less stable (more regular updates), in my case, Fedora Atomic?


My pro-arguments in general for it would be:

  • The host OS image is very minimal, and I think most core packages should be running very reliably. And, in the worst case, if something breaks, I can always roll back. Even the, in comparison to the server image, "bloated" desktop OS (Silverblue) had been running extremely reliably and pretty much bug free in the past.
  • I can always use Podman/ Toolbx for example for running services that were made for Debian, and for everything else there's Docker and more. So, the software availability shouldn't be an issue.
  • I feel relatively comfortable using containers, and think especially the security benefits sound promising.

Cons:

  • I don't have much experience. Everything I do related to my servers, e.g. getting a new service running, troubleshooting, etc., is hard for me.
  • Because of that, I often don't have "workarounds" (e.g. using Toolbx instead of installing something on the host directly) in my mind, due to the lack of experience.
  • Distros other than Debian and some others aren't the standard, and therefore, documentation and availability isn't as good.
  • Containerization adds another layer of abstraction. For example, if my webcam doesn't work, is it because of a missing driver, Docker, the service, the cable not being plugged in, or something entirely different? Troubleshooting would get harder that way.

On my "proper" server I mainly use Nextcloud, installed as Docker image.
My Raspberry Pi on the other hand is only used as print server, running Octoprint for my 3D-printer. I have installed Octoprint there in the form of Octopi, which is a Raspian fork distro where Octoprint is pre-installed, which is the recommended way.

With my "proper" server, I'm not really unhappy with Debian. It works and the server is running 24/7. I don't plan to change it for the time being.

Regarding the Raspi especially, it looks quite a bit different. I think I will just try it and see if I like it.

Why?

  • It is running only rarely. Most of the time, the device is powered off. I only power it on a few times per month when I want to print something. This is actually pretty good, since the OS needs to reboot to apply updates, and it updates itself automatically, so I don't have to SSH into it from time to time, reducing maintenence.
  • And, last but not least, I've lost my password. I can't log in anymore and am not able to update anymore, so I have to reinstall anyway.

What is your opinion about that?

Probably a dumb question, but I have to report pretty much the same post (some website-link + some mentioned usernames, but always sent from different instances) multiple times a day.

The weird thing is, that this happens only here in this community, and not in any else I have subscribed to.

Is this some targeted attack, because due to the self hosting, we're a more valuable victims, or is it just due to time shift because the mods are in a different time zone and asleep when we report the posts?

I think the latter one isn't the case, since there are many active moderators here :)

Is there something we can do about it?

 

Hey all! Yesterday, I've made following post: How to choose your first distro - A guide for beginners (flowchart + text post) and need some input and critique from you.

One thing I got asked a hell lot is why I didn't recommend Debian (and by some extend, Ubuntu) all that much.
While I included Debian in the list too, I had my reasons to recommend Mint, Zorin, and some other Debian-/ Ubuntu based distros above the OG Debian.

Ubuntu

My decision to exclude Ubuntu didn't meet that much of a big resistance, probably because said decision wasn't as controverse.

Reasons, copied from the post:

It used to be good and paved the way of today’s Linux desktop world, but nowadays, the Corporation behind it, Canonical, decided to shit on its user base.

  • Once, they decided to make advertisements for Amazon a few years ago, which they’ve reverted
  • They now make ads in the terminal for “Ubuntu Pro”
  • And, mostly, they force their own and highly controversial package format (Snaps) onto users. You almost can’t get around them, even if you actively decide for it. While Snaps became better in the last years, they still bring a lot of trouble. Just, for example, think of Valve when they officially recommended everyone to not use the fricking Snap package because it’s broken all the time? Good luck doing that with Ubuntu, when they shove Snaps down everyones’ throat, without even notifying the user. While we more experienced users just change the package format, newcomers aren’t aware of that and blame a malfunctioning app to Linux, not the Snap.

I just don’t see any reasons to recommend Ubuntu over something like Mint or even Debian. Both are pretty much the same (same command compatibility with apt, documentation also applies to them, etc.), but just better in any aspect.

Also,

Fedora is often considered “the new Ubuntu” [...]

if you want something similar in terms of release schedule and more, but more sane.

Debian

For Debian, I think I might edit the post and include it more prominent too.

With the newest release, it got some very well thought out defaults, like Flatpak support, a more polished DE (Gnome, KDE, etc.) experience and more. It used to be a "server only"-distro in my eyes, but now, it is actually viable for desktop use, if you like stability (in terms of staleness/ changes).

My reasons to not include it originally were following:

  • ~~The installer sucks:~~ It looks outdated/ ugly, and has bad/ unintuitive defaults, making the installation process way more complicated than it needs to be -> I gladly got corrected, and I think I'm just too dumb for that one. It seems to be more straight forward than I had it in my mind.
  • Too lean: For more experienced users, who already know what they want, the relatively minimalist base without any "bloat" (office software, etc.) is great, but I think including said stuff in beginner distros (e.g. by a checklist post-install, or just straight ootb) is a good thing.
  • Missing first steps: Zorin or Mint have a welcome wizard that guides new users through the OS, showing them how to install new apps, change settings, and more. TuxedoOS for example was specifically designed by a hardware company that wants every user, who never installed Linux themself, get a good first impression and being capable to use the laptop out-of-the-box. Debian misses that imo.
  • Flatpaks not being the default app installation method, resulting in very old software.
  • Too old OS in general: I think most DEs in particular have already found their direction, and won't change radically in the future (e.g. Gnome 2 to Gnome 3), they only get polished and improved. By using 3 year old DE variants, you'll miss a hell lot of performance and usability improvements in my opinion, and something like Fedora is better suited for desktop use, as it's still reliable, but more modern.
  • Does everything too well: Debian has every DE and a hell lot of good arguments to use. When I put "use Debian" on every arrow, it gets recommended proportionally too often, and overshadows something like Mint.
  • Stability is NOT reliability!: While Debian is one of the most stable distros out there, in terms of release cycle, it isn't more reliable because of that. If you mess up your system, there are no recommended-by-default safety measures, like there are on Mint (Timeshift backup) or Suse (Snapper rollback). For me, it is in some regards very comparable to Arch, just that's frozen in time for 3 years.

Now, I would like to hear your opinion and reasons why I might be wrong.
Do you think Debian should be put more into focus, and if yes, why?
How has your experience been, especially if you started using Linux just recently?

 

Hallo meine Computernerds! :)

Ich arbeite momentan im Labor-/ Chemiebereich und habe dort auch meine Ausbildung gemacht.
An und für sich gibt es genug Jobs und auch eine vernünftige Bezahlung, aber irgendwie hätte ich Bock, mich umzuorientieren.
Einfach nur so, weil ich's halt kann.

Ich hatte in den letzten Jahren echt viel Spaß mit IT-Kram, insbesondere allem, was mit Linux zu tun hat.
Ich habe, wie gerade erwähnt, leider bisher keine professionellen Erfahrungen oder offiziellen Qualifikationen vorzuweisen, aber habe ein ziemlich gutes Verständnis von allem möglichen und richtig Bock, mich in neue Themen reinzufuchsen.
Ich finde bestimmt Wege, mich irgendwo reinzumogeln und die Personaler zu überzeugen ;)

Da ein großer Teil hier in dieser Community (teils schon seit Ewigkeiten) im IT-Bereich arbeitet oder vielleicht sogar dafür studiert hat, denke ich, dass ich hier ein paar Erfahrungen und Meinungen von euch kriegen könnte.

  • Haltet ihr das für eine (total) bescheuerte Idee?
  • Wie ist die Bezahlung, wenn man sich nicht auf irgendwas spezialisiert hat, langjährige Berufserfahrung in diesem Bereich oder Qualitifkationen vorzuweisen hat?
  • Würdet ihr mir raten, zuvor ein paar Qualitifkationen anzuschaffen? Wie viel kosten die und wie schwer sind die zu kriegen?
  • Oder würdet ihr sagen, dass ich lieber in meinem jetzigen Bereich bleiben soll?
  • Macht euch die Arbeit "Spaß"?
  • Welche Vorteile habt ihr im Vergleich zu anderen Sparten?

Ich bin noch sehr jung und mir würden viele Wege offen stehen. Nur ein Studium kommt für mich eher nicht in Frage, dazu müsste ich erstmal ein Abi nachholen, was in Bayern echt nicht einfach ist, besonders, wenn man berufstätig ist.
