I’m not super familiar with either, but are you aware of Rescuezilla? It’s a GUI for Clonezilla. I used it for some simple things once or twice recently that I didn’t feel merited learning Clonezilla’s CLI.

One tremendous strength of Python no one has mentioned is its vast ecosystem of high quality packages. It’s not just the language features that speed up development, that ecosystem makes a huge difference.
Another (far more subjective) advantage is readability - when written according to Python’s (actually quite opinionated!) style guidelines and general software engineering best practices, Python is also extremely readable, which really facilitates teamwork. My software shop has transitioned to using Python for most things these days for that reason, away from JS, after seeing my work and code reviews, FWIW.
I’m not some wizardly dev, to be clear, but I’m this shop’s first senior dev specializing in Python. I write deliberately clean and readable Python and folks are really enjoying it - enough to voluntarily switch.
Performance is always listed as a Python drawback, and it’s not untrue, it’s just so overblown as a problem. It basically never causes me issues. Crucially, saving dev time is almost always the better choice compared to saving compute cycles. And I’d take that farther and say anyone junior enough to be wondering about Python and performance…is almost certainly working on tasks that Python is well suited to - better suited, than most other languages.
(Hopefully this was not too controversial, but I accept the risk of a flame war, as is tradition lol)
Edit: clarity
Yeah, people got different backs and different injuries. I’ve done a ton of rehab (just strength training basically) so mine’s not nearly as sensitive as it used to be. But the wrong mattress can still leave me in rough shape. Like, hard to get through the day, and I say that as kind of a glutton for punishment TBH.
I’m active, just slightly overweight (beer and pizza, shit goes hard), but I have a couple muscle spasms from old injuries that’ll probably never truly be gone entirely.
I’m also a pretty frugal individual, but a decent (for my needs) mattress is non negotiable for me. Legit can’t have a normal life with one that works poorly. Just gets worse and worse night after night, no matter what I do, till I can’t walk or stand really. Takes like a week or two at max, but I can speed run it too sometimes lol.
We just have a basic Leesa (no idea if they’re still around), pretty straightforward latex foam dealie. Think it was around $1k, maybe 7 years ago. Zero issues, sleep like a dream on it, holding up great too. I don’t know that it’s a one size fits all situation, but it does seem to work great for my spine in particular.
Your mom’s a bait!
Okay joke is played out, sorry I’m done
Ahem. This is the internet, surely you’re aware of where you are?
What, you’re just gonna…agree to disagree or something? Throwing out decades of tradition? What’s next? Just gonna let someone be factually incorrect about something without a word of recrimination or even basic correction?!
You’re headed down a dark path.
LOL
Boy have I got news for you…
Utterly tone deaf, some of these guys, it’s amazing. Had a new CEO open a meeting shortly after he started with a story about visiting an apiary (bee farm) with his family. His unironic takeaway which he shared with us, somehow missing the poignant relevance of what he was saying - “It turns out the drones just don’t do very much”.
It was like he intended an ice breaker with a personal anecdote, and it started out fine, but he couldn’t help but just tell literally all of us how he really feels. Amazing.
I like my genes pure, unmodified whatsoever - just the way they arise from the primordial soup.
'twas told to me that in many ways they refuse to cooperate with our system of taxonomy at large, too freaky to ever be properly pinned down
Hell yeah, nice. My fav in and out is for whatever annoying thing or whatever I’m actually working on, especially be it a CICD pipeline or similar, I end up just F12 and just curl cht.sh/name-of-cmd
for quick vetted (?) usage examples of tons of stuff.
Didn’t know about lofi, cool!
FWIW I boot Bazzite in desktop mode with two 27" displays and have been very happy. Mixed use, not nearly as much gaming as it’s really intended for most of the time, and occasionally patchy experience but (un-)usually great. So many quality of life little doodads.
For instance, the screens brighten and dim effortlessly with my scroll wheel on a widget in the taskbar, just by default. Discovered it by accident lol, what else don’t I know?!
It’s excellent. Folks should use it.
I really love Yakuake too and will keep it forever.
I’d like to get a little more…“dextrous” with it? But there’s a problem lol. It’s so very immediately convenient with no effort involved at all that my brain kinda refuses to consider complicating it.
Literally pressing F12
to go in and out at will, and that’s it - that’s the entire learning curve I’ve engaged with lol.
I don’t even know what else it might do beyond tabs. Not even hotkeys. It’s too (blissfully) easy to use, it ceases to be a layer in my brain entirely, I think.
Just wanna say, great job on the feedback reception. Critically important (and often hard!!) skill, to get the value while leaving the ego-hit. If you handle criticism this well as a non-fulltime-dev, on a project you care about and that you have solo’ed - I have a feeling you have a lot of dev potential.
Whoops 😅
Nah, this seems like a big deal. Not necessarily “imminent doom for Twitter” big, but still. Social media platforms live and die on network effects, and none (that I’m aware of) has ever successfully “forced” their own viability without having naturally strong network effects.
Network effects work in favor of signups and engagement of course, but they work on the downswing too, they can accelerate abandonment and replacement.
This is legit kinda beautiful to me hahahaha. We’re all Bob Ross on this blessed day.
Well, if you were looking for internet explorer on your mousepad, I think 5th grade you was lacking some important info
For OP - Bazzite works a little differently as an immutable OS. Basically only a small handful of directories are editable, and the immutable nature is intended to help provide stability, particularly for users who don’t want to tinker as much (at least that’s my understanding).
Here’s their documentation on auto mounting drives. You’ll probably want the link titled “KDE Partition Manager Guide” under GUI Methods.
But you can edit
/etc/fstab
as suggested here, and I’ve done it that way. Just need to mount it under/var/mnt/
and disregard locations recommended by guides that pertain to other distros.Edit: just saw someone else posted the same link, whoops!
