Why no arch install?
Why no arch install?
Been 100% linux for like 6-9 months now, these stories make me thankful for finally making the switch.
I’ve tried to make the switch 3-4 times in the past and was stopped by 2 main things:
The experience was so much better this time and I really have no regrets. I don’t imagine I’ll ever run Windows again outside of a VM

Seems like arch gets KDE into stable within a couple days of release generally. Or there’s the kde-unstable repo that already has it
That sounds exactly right. Air quotes around Christian.
What an awful god damn tweet. Are the tariffs to combat Chinese governmental meddling? If so, great. If not then they’re protectionist stupidity that’s sure to draw a response. This tweet sure makes it sound like it’s the latter. sigh
Asahi only partially supports the M3 and I guess now the M4 is out (though only in iPad)?
Yeah, some shows did have their own consistent-ish systems, but I think some shows used a system that seemed to be relative to the center of the solar system, others from the perspective of the ship (which makes more sense to me, like naval bearings) - https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Heading.
It was a quick lookup from a long time ago, I was working on a 3d space game and was curious if ST had a consistent model I could just use.
The headings / bearings they use are all over the place too, remember looking it up and it feels like the writers just picked whatever numbers best fit the flow / cadence of dialog they were looking for
Step 1: move data from files into a database
Step 2: delete files
Step 3: press release that we just deleted the files

Just a note, the orange pi drivers are not in great shape. It’s getting better but I have a cluster of raspberry pi’s for development, bought an orange pi without first checking out much about them and it’s rough. Rockchip CPUs are great, and the driver / firmware situation is getting better, but something I’d read up on before buying one.
I’d still look at the N100, it’s about 2.5x the performance of raspberry pi 5, and being x86 you have more options than arm.
There are a lot of tiny PCs these days that can output 4k video and audio. Look for something with an N100 or N200 CPU if you want to go as cheap as possible, they tend to be super-cheap and perform well. I’ve got one of the GMTecs and this wireless keyboard+mouse, works really well from the couch.
There are cheaper/other options but to get you started: https://www.amazon.com/GMKtec-Windows-Computer-Business-G3-dp-B0CQ4XQ2WG/dp/B0CQ4XQ2WG https://morefine.com/collections/pc-box (specifically the M9)
I’m far from an expert in init systems, but there are some benefits to declarative approaches for configuration. It’s one of the main reasons yaml and toml are as popular as they are. The short version is, declarative configuration tends to be less verbose, and the declarative contract defines what state you want things to be in, not how to get there which makes it easier on the person writing the unit file, and on the implementers of systemd in that there’s a smaller surface-area to test
Generally declarative:
Got hyprland running on the macbook, have tested it out on desktop. Not quite the daily driver, plasma 6 on X is still the norm there, but I think as soon as synergy works in Wayland I’ll make the switch everywhere
Sorry to hear that, I may have overstated, I think I got distracted/focused mainly at the mouse cursor offset / interacting with something at a different position problem. That seemed to get fixed for me with 6.0.2, I don’t see the dragging thing but I’m on X11 still, maybe that’s a factor
There’s a KWin bug open for this, and a merge request was already merged for it.
I’m having a real tough time figuring out which code goes into which KWin release, but I do see a 6.0.2 tag that seems to include that MR’s change. So I’d look for version 6.0.2 of KWin and retest with that?
Looks like several reports / duplicates and like they’ve zeroed in on the problematic commit - https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=482687.
Good to hear that. At least it’s not an “only me” problem so hopefully we see a fix soon.
One really annoying problem, in firefox the mouse cursor position is wrong. Clicking in firefox clicks on the thing 30-ish pixels above my mouse. I noticed that it only happens when firefox is snapped to the left or right half of the screen (of course that’s how I almost always use it). I can fix it if I maximize firefox then snap it left or right. 100% scaling on the monitor, nothing funky, reset theme/appearance, reset my firefox profile, etc…
Hopefully it gets sorted soon
I’ve been tempted to try and install plasma mobile on a tablet.
