  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.

  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.

    Why has nobody mentioned package managers? I can't be the only one who cares about that...

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

    Some guy commented about it and got corrected for saying that yay was a package manager. lol

    I mean, I use it in place of pacman.

    Since it's a wrapper, it can do what pacman does and more

    Currently getting annoyed with my Manjaro install because, after reinstalling due to a dead hard drive, nothing seems to quite work right (and I can't get Skynet installed). Went to Distrowatch and hit random

    Raspberry Digital Signage is an operating system designed for digital signage installations on the Raspberry Pi: it displays a full-screen browser view restricted to a specified resource. It shows web pages from an Internet, local area network or internal (SD-card contained) sources; there is no way to escape this view but rebooting the machine.

    Um... maybe that's not my new daily driver

    I had a small store with one of these in the window and for what it does it's very good

    Oh I'm sure it's great for what it does!

    Only one of those OP. The oldest one in the list. When any of those other distros bring something new and beneficial to the mix I might consider them.

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    I choose my distro based on if KDE will crash or not.

    So far on my hardware only NixOS has not got that issue out of the box.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    Have you had issues setting hotkeys in KDE? I'm using NixOS on my laptop and for some reason the shortcuts I add all reset on logouts/shutdowns

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    Thats weird, I never had any problems with hotkeys bc nixos does not manage that. Did you setup inpermanence on your .config folder?

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

    No, I've never touched my .config file for KDE directly (I have made settings changes, but none that would cause it to clear hotkeys), I just can't set hotkeys without them clearing on reboot/session end. Apparently it's a known problem: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=484682

    That report mentions 6.0.3 I've had this issue since I installed NixOS with plasma 5 last year and remember finding forum posts about it as well. It hasn't been too much of a deal for me because the only thing I was using it for was remapping the Konsole shortcut to launch Kitty instead.

    Edit: also that issue I linked looks like it's resolved in 6.0.5 but I'm in 6.0.5 right now and I just tried to set a keybind and it's still clearing on reboot.

    Guilty. I chose Ubuntu for years due to them using muse as an artist on their mediaplayer

    Me in the past 2 years: choosing a Linux distro based on whether it's nixos

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    i chose my first linux distro based on difficulty (gentoo). needless to say it took me two weeks to get my computer to boot up and load i3 without problems.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    Two questions: are you still on Gentoo, and have you tried LFS?

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

    i gave up on gentoo when the updates started making my laptop so hot that i had to point my bedroom fan at it in college. i was thinking of doing LFS but by that point gentoo was turning into such a headache and i wanted something simpler. i switched to arch afterwards, but now i mainly just use macos and let tim handle all that stuff for me. although i’m tempted to try arch again when im done with grad school and have more time
