Politics of equality

Block neo-nazi blue-yellow flag covers

Vanguard revolutionaries are closet authoritarians capitalist reformers

linux with runit or s6 and no-systemd minimalism

I fix old machines, from PCs to flat heads and pushrods

EVs are the number 1 threat to the environment, unrecyclable toxic waste with a 5y life expectancy

  • I have used labwc (a really close equivalent to openbox) with great excitement with the exception of one thing.

    Running a graphic application as a different user within a user's session is impossible. Even if a different seatd session is active for the 2nd user, wlroots refuses to draw anything as a different user than the one initiating the session.

    It is a form of containerization for me that just requires x11

  • DE require tremendous overhead of serv/daemons just to be able to make shortcuts/menu items clickable, I would never use such contraptions on my system.

    I use a wm and have no use for polkit, dbus, logind, automount, obfuscated rights elevations and demotions, .... all this crap that unnecessarily must run for the sake of aesthetics and MS-win utility.

    If I needed icons on my background I would use just a light filemanager, like pcmanfm, but I don't.

  • Both plasma and gnome will get zero clicks from me. They are the two black holes sucking free open source software into their m{ac,s}-win core.

  • Distro hoppers, what's always on your install list when you've finished setup and logged in for the first time?

    Jump

  • I know some who do it as a spare time relaxation exercise, install something new (to them) configure, boot, reconfigure, explore. But they have a steady system they use daily.

  • @ashley ubuntu is, yes, a pseudo distribution with funky installer, fonts, themes, mix of non-free software, appealing to those who just want a cheap system without the will to learn much.

  • I like how a system instead of specs is described with marketing terminology, "light, simplicity in mind" and this with ubuntu and systemd under the hood.

    Alpine is light with simplicity in mind, anything that contains -buntu in its description is like a 1960s bus

  • You mean tearing?As in video screen tearing?

    There is also tar which is a very common archiving system, so tarring=archiving

    Stay away from debian/ubuntu if you really want to learn linux. They dictate how you do things so much you will never learn how to do it.

  • If you have used openbox before just do a diff merge of differences between your openbox and labwx/rc.xml

    so you get the same setup. They are very compatible. waybox is crap, it is just a base wm for kde-plasma/gnome ..etc.

  • root must always be mounted if you have a system, either by booting or chroot. If you mount just efi from another system .On my setup /efi/EFI/grub only has the grub efi binary no config, /boot and therefore /boot/grub is on /root partition

    Now if you have the entire /boot in the /efi partition then it would be /efi/boot/grub/grub.cfg?

  • The theme itself is defined in grub.cfg, but it may be the case that it is stored in your root partition not in efi, so during bootloading the drive can't be read from.So if you manually change the location of the theme directory and copy it inside efi it may work, and change the position of in grub.cfg
