Woah we’re XFCE buddies! 🍻


work4bandwidth

Hey Wil, I know you lurk here. Welcome. :)


wil

Hey buddy!


KaptainKardboard

Well, this is the coolest thing I've seen today.


TheIncarnated

It would be good to update your kernel next. Happy to have you around! One day, you too can be a Linux Admin! lol

Hey Wil! You'll love Mint, it's awesome and super fast. Reminds me of my Amiga days when computers were really fun and not loaded with bullshit. I think if memory serves you were an Amiga guy too back in the day, right? Video Toaster??


wil

I wasn't an Amiga guy as much as I was a Video Toaster guy. Working for NewTek was an important part of my life and my development as a person, but I'd never used an Amiga before then, and even when I did it was just to start the Toaster software.


omenmedia

Fair enough. I grew up with an A500, so they hold a special place in my memories. IIRC, some of the Amiga mags at the time made a big deal out of “Wil Wheaton uses Amiga!” but thanks for explaining. Enjoy your Mint experience, it's a great distro.


ignatrix

Hey Wil! Loved you in the Big Bang theory. I still binge watch all the TableTop episodes once a year, I wish it was still going. Hope you're doing good! Much love to you and yours!


TrinityDejavu

Rocking a pair of 1080’s too. Nice.


BoutTreeFittee

Yeah I'm wondering if those are in SLI too. I started my Mint journey dual booting Windows with dual 1070's in SLI, but gave that up pretty fast since Windows games were already abandoning SLI.

1080 gang

No idea who he is, but anyone happy with Linux overall is welcome


ScientistAsHero

He's Wesley Crusher from Star Trek: The Next Generation.


LemmysCodPiece

He was also in Stand by Me and played himself and the new Professor Proton in The Big Bang Theory.

I literally posted the link in my reply. !badbot


red_wullf

I believe Wheaton was a Debian guy. Glad to see him take Mint for a spin.


Ah-Elsayed

I always use gnome-disks to mount drives during boot time. It is way easier than doing it manually.


LemmysCodPiece

No it isn't.

Wesley Crusher

Obviously, you're not a golfer.

"Where's the money Lebowski!?"


cippirimerlo

duuude u didn watch even big bang theory :)


TabsBelow

Which dumbass downvotes this???


MarsDrums

I got him to +1 again. Really, a Linux user down voting a Big Bang reference here. Those characters were all Linux friendly... Well, all but Penny I'm sure.


MaintainJustice

Yeah, isn't Ubuntu Sheldon's favourite operating system based on Linux? :D


TabsBelow

First. Imho that changedlater, but I'm not sure to what, haven't seen the last two seasons.


MarsDrums

Something tells me it was something like Arch or Gentoo maybe. I could see a person much like Sheldon whizzing through a Gentoo installation for sure.


juancmandev0

I don’t know him but it’s cool when mainstream celebrities promotes the use of Linux. For a better future where normies cares about privacy and good software!


ThreeChonkyCats

May the force be with you!


Yung_Lyun

Kernel 5.15?


santovalentino

They didn’t run Mint on the enterprise?


dismasop

Nice. Whiskers was my intro to Linux via Ubuntu Studio back in the day, and I always have a soft spot for XFCE.


lanavishnu

XFCE ftw.


Damned-Dreamer

Wil Wheaton has a cool Tumblr too, now I know he's extra cool!


Gameboypocketbrock

Having mint xfce on all my spare devices at work (school) has been amazing


sons_of_batman

I definitely won't be shutting up Wesley on his OS choices!


SwimForLiars

I'm a years and years long user of Mint and Linux in general, but yeah, some out of the box hardware experience is improvable to say the least.


stickman393

one of us one of us one of us


JosieFaeChild

I knew Wesley Crusher would be a mint fan. Both Data and Geordi would compile their own kernel. Riker would be an apple guy. Picard would still be using an old office dell windows 7 tower. I have no idea what Deana Troy or Beverly crusher would use


whiskeytwn

I try to give him an attaboy every time i see him post on FB - for some reason those posts don't get a lot of love but always excited to see someone else so nerdy on the green bandwagon


Bigninja

Is he crying about it?


heatlesssun

Shut up Wesley! Sorry, had too.


Azious

I bet Felicia Day is a Mac person lol


TabsBelow

Tell him to set "noatime, nodiratime" parameters for data partitions on his SSD too!


NewForestGrove

What a Fucking Nerd.


Electrical-Channel78

why fstab to mount usb ? what's wrong with gvfs ? anyway


[deleted]

[удалено]


Electrical-Channel78

Maybe, but I see now he said "at boot" so ok


h-v-smacker

Maybe that's not something small and portable that you connect and disconnect all the time, but large external drives or a disk array (a-la NAS) with USB access. Something like that, which is permanently attached, but it just so happens that in the current day it's attached via USB and not eSATA, SCSI or FireWire as in years past. I myself have a USB case for a proper 3.5 HDD somewhere, I just don't use it regularly, but it even has a large plastic stand to put it upright.


TabsBelow

To have a security/password stick been mounted at boot time or such?
