i cannot get my partner to allow me purchasing a new computer for like... any reason ever. Exaggerating, but i'd have to lose 90% of my 'office'

Yeah, I get that. That's when I rotate my chair to my Arch machine and appreciate its properties for a while.

guix is a very interesting choice! Fun to play with, was a bit too tough for me up front. More power to ya

Very true. My guy with the new, dual processor Nvidia laptop feels my pain, but still twists the knife that it's not even a Thing with windows.

this is exactly why i put it on my general gifts wishlist

Haha, yes. I use hyfetch which lets me choose a small one

I made one on the BOFH server, which i then realized was probably your private host. Oops.
Could you inform me why you dislike Mastodon?

I would prefer Cachy over Bazzite based on concept alone. Bazzite is an "immutable" distro, like SteamOS. Cachy has not been "locked down" as such. Cachy is a suped-up Arch.

I put CachyOS on a laptop and yes, very fast.
my problem with it was that the automatic Nvidia-Prime software didn't work right away, and even with some tinkering. This is a ME problem. I do recommend CachyOS

yes it is

I should've asked ahead of time, but I created an account on that server. Should I not? I like that it bridges. I want to be able to Bsky and Mastodon at the same time and don't have a fave way to do that yet

Oh, I get it. I do. (the blocking)
Niri is a scrolling window manager that leaves a few packages still necessary to find. I did find 2 different projects that fill the gaps: Dank Material Shell, & Noctalia

That's quite interesting. Thank you for your keen eye!

(Your post on that particular site intrigues me...
Especially that i was not allowed to view it without a VPN)

But yes! KDEplasma is really polished!
I found it was easier for me to customize Niri with the additional hodgepodge of packages, than to keep on the KDE train.
Respect to K.D.E.

To be fair, I've found few Desktop Environments that setup the Window Manager portion correctly at first. I don't know if I have a bias towards not-winning at these things, but I often bootup new DEs in the TTY, just text editing config files for a while

That was very helpful when I ran KDE!
most of the time it was the Plasma-Topbar thing that crashed though; or the desktop background

Can't wait to use and promote illegal operating systems that do not verify age.

open_slate: A Powerful and Private 2-in-1 Tablet by Brax Technologies PBC - Indiegogo Meet open_slate: a poweful 2-in-1 tablet with modular design, native Linux and Android support and hardware killswitches.

So, I'm into Privacy and Just Recently decided to do a bit about Network Security. Brax also likes that stuff. Do you, personally, think this Brax product will be great?

I think this isn't exactly unique to Linux. People dislike some major teams in say, sports, due to "winning too often," for various reasons.

that's a great take. I don't know why, but we seem to be a group who prefers to support underdogs until they win anything

oh, i believe it. I don't go to far off the path into the "flake" woods. Still sticking to the channel, for the most part.

I was wondering if I can switch to Stable and then just do a Flake Module of the Needs-to-be-Current packages...

I switched to unstable only for DMS-Shell. Been at it for a bit, but no big errors for me yet

I see that a high law compelled you. Wish that the payment info didn't lead to a human being...

of course, now that I'm using an older Kernel, DMS-Shell is running slower. >:(
changing to 6_19 now

hey, hey dude, you ever see the culmination of a weeks' worth of stress? I call this one, a properly behaving Nvidia driver

Steve-O was on Joe Rogan's show trying to defend trans people and Rogan went off, he called trans people "fucking perverts" and "mass shooters" who have done the majority of school shootings.

Completely unhinged bigotry paid for by your Spotify subscriptions.

@proton.me What's this? Where can I find an explanation?

learning is hard, yo

I keep getting close to solving a programming problem.
Each time, I find there is a fundamental mistake that I made.
I then redo the code and get close to solving again.
BAM! fundamentally wrong again

do watched compilers ever finish without errors?
