  • It seems you have not typed in "gui" when using lldb via cli. Also, people use cli debuggers because they want to. Everything has a gui, jetbrains happens to make some of the best ones, based on top of cli debuggers like lldb.

  • How do you take notes?

  • Am I weird for just using a pen and paper? I recently upgraded my setup by buying a binder and ~1000 pages so I won't have to burn through notebooks or money.

    One thing that I know for sure is weird is that I use a fountain pen for it all...

  • It works natively on Wayland. The UI uses gtk4.

  • Do you use Gnome or KDE Plasma?

  • I use a window manager on my desktop, and gnome on my laptop. Gnome's gestures are amazing with a touchpad

  • What Linux distro without opt-out telemetry would you recommend a Manjaro user?

    Jump

  • If you used manjaro before, then I will recommend endeavour. It is arch Linux (same as manjaro) with an installer. I found their support forums to be helpful as an arch user.

  • I literally just installed it on a spare laptop. I was going to install the lts, but saw a new release and couldn't resist. Things seem pretty good so far.

  • Apple AirTag alternatives for theft prevention?

  • You can get GPS systems that upload data using a SIM. Only viable if you live somewhere with cheap roaming plans. Last I checked, a local company was selling the hardware (without sim) for 200EUR. The thing I was trying to protect was 120-ish.

  • Ventoy source code contains some unknown BLOBs, still no word on the issue from the dev after months

  • systemdBoot is supposed to be true, not a typo. But yeah, I don't use plasma much so I don't really know how to solve the issue... Sorry for that!

  • Encrypt whole system?

  • The template is supposed to be something that you put in your own systemd services. plasma-kwin_x11.service and plasma-kwin_wayland.service both already have it.

    If I have to guess, it is probably a bug that will get fixed sometime in the future, meaning this is not a viable solution until then. Sorry for that.

    Just as a last bit of troubleshooting, check if cat ~/.config/startkderc shows systemBoot = true. If it does not, run kwriteconfig6 --file startkderc --group General --key systemdBoot true. I doubt this will change much, but still worth trying.

    If I get some free time, I will do some testing and let you know here

  • Systemd has a good guide on how to use it https://systemd.io/HOME_DIRECTORY/

    And they also have a guide on migrating a traditional user home to this. Do remember to take backups if going this route https://systemd.io/CONVERTING_TO_HOMED/

    I personally used the arch wiki when I set it up https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Systemd-homed

    There is not much config.

    I think the command I used for my laptop was:

     
        
homectl create <name> --storage=luks --shell=/usr/bin/fish --member-of=wheel

    https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Systemd-homed#Creation

    Gnome is working on a gui for this, but it will probably be a while until that is out. I feel like it is pretty safe to use the cli for this one.

  • What are your favourite extensions?

    Jump

  • Indie wiki buddy. Fandom often times comes on top for most searches, but many games actually have their official wikis elsewhere. This extension hides fandom links for unofficial fandom wikis.

  • XD yea. scrcpy --video-source=camera --no-audio --v4l2-sink=/dev/video0 --no-playback this is the command I use. There are a few more config options for orientation and to select the camera.

  • I use KeePassXC. I have shared the keys with someone I trust in person in case of death. I sync by manually copying the database between my devices.

  • Before your change to Linux

    Jump

  • What was the last version of Windows you used before hopping on over?

    Windows 10. But I knew that I won't have issues adjusting to Linux because I used WSL everyday and I had gallium os sideloaded on my chromebook.

    So what's your reasoning for the change to the reliable and funni penguin OS?

    A series of unfortunate events in the span of a month or two along with long persisting issues that made me crack.

    I had 2 machines then, a hp laptop and a PC. I used my laptop for school and financial stuff (which was shared with my father) and my PC for programming.

    The first issue. The laptop had an update for a long while which it would randomly start and I was not able to put it off. But it always kept failing. It was basically a tradition for me to start my laptop on the tram to school so if there is a pending update, it will try and fail before I need it for schoolwork. I finally cracked, googled the issue and tried to trouble shoot it. The first step was to run a system integrity check. This never finished because when I went back to check up on it, an update had been started. My laptop didn't boot after that because bitlocker couldn't find the keys, even after I would manually input them on the prompt.

    The second issue was with my PC. I used WSL everyday. But it would randomly just fail to boot. This was annoying, so I had a script to delete WSL, install it again and install all the packages I needed.

    The third issue was also with my PC. I use a us keyboard layout despite not being from the us. This is because the international English keyboard does not input quotation marks when you type them, which makes it difficult to use for programming. But windows switched me to the international keyboard every now and then which made it annoying to code. I tried removing it, but I was not allowed to for whatever reason. What I did was admittedly stupid, but I used regedit and some online help to remove the international keyboard. That didn't work, but all system apps stopped working. I kept using it like this for a bit. Eventually, I got an update. Now I was terrified because I was not able to open settings to postpone this update. I didn't wanna have a repeat of my laptop incident.

    So I just finally broke and installed Linux mint. Never looked back, ever. I use arch BTW.

    TLDR: laptop got wiped due to a windows update and windows was forcing me to use an international keyboard.
