This is one thing that I hope never happens on my system…

I had an app that secretly tried to compile an old version of GTK.2 in its entirety. My potato computer freaked out…

2·6 months agoYou couldn’t be more wrong here, my Arch install has been my daily driver for years, and it’s sitting at a grand total of 846 packages. No reinstall. No avalanche of dependencies. No mythical fleet of 7,000 half-assembled cars in the garage. You don’t need to bolt on a crap-ton of packages just to get a working system…
I still use X11 & will continue to do so for as long as possible. Wayland’s not bad, X11 just seems to works better…

linuxmemes@lemmy.world•What's your favourite OS that does not use systemd?
17·1 year agoSystem service managers like systemd, OpenRC, runit, or SysVinit often come down to user preference. While these systems are crucial for initializing and managing services on servers, where uptime, resource allocation, and specific daemon behaviors are important, their impact on a typical desktop or laptop is generally minimal.
For most personal devices, the primary functions of a service manager occur largely out of sight. As long as the system boots reliably and applications run smoothly, the underlying service manager rarely registers as a significant factor in the daily user experience.
For many, including myself, systemd simply works without much fuss. My choice to stick with it isn’t due to strong conviction or deep technical analysis, but rather the simple fact that I’ve rarely, if ever, had to interact with it directly. For my personal desktop and laptop, it reliably handles booting, service management, and shutdown in the background. If it’s not broken and isn’t hindering my daily computing, there’s no compelling reason to explore alternatives.

We need to make this a thing !!
Personally never tried to do that myself, but I’m pretty sure its doable…
Ah, yes, the mythical “Year of the Linux Desktop”—that elusive utopia Linux enthusiasts have been chasing since it’s creation. Newsflash: nobody cares. The year of the Linux desktop isn’t some grand global awakening; it’s just whenever you decide to stop whining about it and install the thing. For me, it was 2002, and guess what? My computer didn’t care either. It just worked. So stop waiting for some cosmic alignment of market share and app support. The year of the Linux desktop is when you make it. Now go forth and sudo (or doas) your destiny…
Loving that nvim config… Using a similar one myself…
Aha yea it could very well be that guy…
I absolutely love how minimalist this looks…
OpenSUSE was actually released long before Arch even existed. I’m an Arch user, btw, but I consider both operating systems to be excellent choices. Everyone has their own preferences. Let people enjoy what they like and embrace their individuality. We don’t all have to be alike…

1·2 years agoAll Linux distros are kinda the same really.
- Use them incorrectly & they’ll break…
- Use them correctly & they’ll just work…

21·2 years agoThis is how not to use Arch… Update at least once a month, or if not maybe at least twice a month. If you can’t handle the updates on Arch then consider switching to something like Debian…

I’ve used Firefox based browsers for as long as I can remember and I’d rather slam my dick in a car door than switch to garbage like brave. Every single one of those browsers is the same bloated Google-flavoured bullshit wearing a different fucking clown costume. Firefox is the only browser that doesn’t make me feel like I’m being rawdogged by corporate spyware every time I open a tab… Piss on carpet !!
