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

  • A window manager is enough with any customizable drop menu, can open a file manager of choice, create a folder or file, no desktop is needed.

    worker /.Desktop

    or whatever filemanager one is using

  • How much does it pay to promote IBM products with convoluted software as that is really linux?

    Since I am financially strained I might consider, with a very heavy ethical objection counteracting my need for cash.

    The lawyers it takes to call this crap Open and Free System must have become millionaires by now.

  • (Constructively) What is your least favorite distro & why?

    Jump

  • I assume that Manj follows #Arch and doesn't improvise on sys dependencies. Definitely not poor.

    Arch-archives by date, means you can build a system exactly as it was fully upgraded on a specific date, and the system works just like it used to.

    Other systems that may carry 3 versions of the same library because different sw use different versions are the ones with the problem. Except for redundancy and space the system is not very coherent..

  • partial upgrades on distros without hard linked dependencies is a disaster caused by the user.

    You should never have a system with less than 20% free space, but I mean system, not /home, not /var/cache/ of /var/cache/pacman,Make partitions and mount things separately, especially /home

    In a pinch you can live without man-pages remove /usr/share/{doc,man,html}/and on /usr/share/locale/ keep just the ones you use

    When you need a man page reinstall the pkg.

  • There is nothing "worth" running in wine, but it is good to know it exists, just to spite those choosing binary blobs.

  • Wine 9.0 is now available

    Jump

  • It is called free because it allows you the freedom to hack the code and make it fit your needs, not because of cost. Like you say, freedome can be expensive, so go cheap and use authentic windows with a paid license, closed code binary blobs, and blind trust to the megacorp selling it.

    Jump

  • You should try arch or an arch fork, arch doesn't leave broken upstream pkgs unpatched too long, either they work or they are out

  • Gnome completely different and buggy after update (Debian)

    Jump

  • I've hated the idea of wayland and still dislike many things about it, but 1st wayland is just a protocol, wlroots is the common base for everything. After trying labwc the current seemed to turn around quite a bit. Still missing some basic utilities that seem to only exist for sway and be based on sway.Both sway and waybox are a disappointment.

    So keep trying different projects to find what fits, because eventually we will be there.

  • Do you want me to list software assuming you either run gnome or plasma?Articles presenting the choice in linux as being those 2 desktops alone?And all of it with direct code linking systemd utilities as there is no alternative or use of more common functions.

  • Qt is the base, what I meant is the KDE-plasma appears to push for the Mac-ation of linux while Gnome is pushing for the Microsoftization (aesthetics functionality wise) .. it may be the reverse I don't use either 4 of them.

    wm with least possible overhead possible is my minimalist tendency for a graphic enviornment.

  • Qt since its 5-6 transition has become very restrictive in its non-commercially licensed terms. A legal team must have worked hard and long to stretch this as LGPL, meaning that GPL licensing needs more attention to detail.There is practically no support and no way to report a bug unless you are a paying customer, is what I kept.

    My main issue is those two GTK and QT, are pushing linux to become an MSw and Mac alternatives respectively. Both ugly and anti-unix

  • I wasn't talking to you either, I was speaking in general, to the public about all of us. Who cares what you do?@aniki

  • Wayland really breaks things… Just for now?

    Jump

  • Why should devs pay any attention to wayland when after a decade the project still suffers from severe deficiencies of functionality over X11.
