  • Help me choose linux's best option for public school lab (distro, desktop, etc.)

    1. I'd say go for a rolling, maybe do updates on weekends
    2. The students will very likely appreciate the customizability of Plasma or Cinnamon; if you want them to focus on work, GNOME (probably with some extensions) would be better. Tilers are a bad idea, because they take some getting used to
    3. Doesn't really matter, company distros might be paid tho, and that can obviously get expensive
    4. Wayland if your DE has good support (i.e. is GNOME or Plasma), otherwise X
    5. Btrfs' snapshotting capabilities might be useful to rollback the system to something working if the students fuck something up
    6. Immutable without sudo access should be the safest to hand over to people that you don't want to ruin anything
    7. I don't know enough about specific purpose distros

    If you already know Nix, NIxOS would be a good choice

  • I think something like

     -
        
%wheel ALL= NOPASSWD: /bin/apt

    should be the right way of disabling the password for apt.

  • They do! /bin has the executables, and /usr/share has everything else.

  • I don't think there really is an easy way to do this. For sure not as easy as reinstalling.

  • Wi-Fi connectivity issues resolved by dropping wpa_supplicant in favour of iwd

    Jump

  • Thanks, I switched from unconfigured (but working because magic) networkmanager to pure wpa_supplicant on my NixOS system yesterday and I definitely noticed frequent reconnecting.

    Jump

  • read the code and pretend you understand it (real understanding will slowly come with that)

  • How often do you update your system?

    Jump

  • I used to run sudo pacman -Syu like every 5 minutes (bleeding edge, more like bled out edge). I'd recommend once or twice a day to stay up-to-date.

  • Found this out in the wilds of Nova Scotia. Looked like Debian

    Jump

  • No way, Debian uses systemd, and systemd uses systemd-journald for logging, and doesn't need cron, because it has timers.

  • My real first time using Linux was with Pop!_OS in April last year.
