There truly is something for everyone! :D

Puce Screen of Panic

That’s class

I guess so, it doesn’t hurt if you don’t mind the inconvenience

DivestOS on my tablet

Cool, there are supported tablets now?

Oh I thought that was only Artix, what does CachyOS use?

If the client (which encrypts the data in for an E2EE service) is open source and has also been audited by third parties than there’s little reason to do so

Is that so? From the issue I read there was no way around it because the two images are fundamentally incompatible once you layer that package, you had to remove the layered package, it seemed from the discussion that they might have “fixed” the base image at some point as a pull request was opened on Pagure. I waited a bit for it to go upstream, but nothing happened for a long time and just went thorugh with the manual intervention, and actually, now that I check it again, the maintainer siosm commented that they can’t accept the PR

Doesn’t Bazzite have the base image modified to have the codecs included already? I think that’s probably why you didn’t experience any disruption there

• Full hardware accelerated codec support for H264 decoding.

Love the irony, but this is painting a little too good a picture

Every update is just… meh. Smooth, new, fresh system not affected by my stupid tweaking and breaking

Most times yes, but major updates usually cause some trouble, like from 39 to 40, you couldn’t do it without uninstalling the codecs for Firefox. Firefox that is installed by default as an RPM, because the Flatpak Firefox doesn’t yet have 100% compatibility with all the features that work with the RPM, so as a user you’re pretty much led to get yourself stuck in this hole, not too difficult to fix in the end, but still a pain to find out and fix.

Everything else is 100% true! And I think it will be always hard to beat as an implementation of immutability (second place only to NixOS imo), A/B partitioning doesn’t hold a candle to OSTree

TL;DR Don’t (unless your needs are really basic or you really don’t want to layer more packages)

Distrobox ftw, its website is pretty good to find all its features and it has a neat GUI BoxBuddy too! And also the generic Pods can be useful for more advanced needs.

Extra tip: if you have more time to spend on learning, I think Nix Home Manager will actually be the better solution in the long run, no need to worry about containers breaking in some way after system updates with scattered solutions that are hard to understand and remember, also you get to bring your configuration anywhere

You use the AUR because you want more packages.
I use the AUR because I believe in humanity.
We are NOT the same.

Ahh, thank you

Outfits? What does it mean in this context?

Update: this was kinda driving me insane again and I was about to write a bug report, but thankfully I didn’t have to, because I found out while I was writing and doing some digging, that an option for this exists already! (oopsie)

Go to:

Settings > Configure Kate > Projects > Session Behavior

And check the box for “Restore Open Projects” to enable it, now when you reopen a session that had a folder opened in it, the folder will show up once again in the Projects view.

How about you let me save the application data for myself and keep it secure on my equipment first, Google? Uff, going through the salvaging process of the data on my near-broken phone is being the most excruciating thing I’ve done recently because they just won’t let you access and save it unless you rely on their cloud… which I might eventually just do, just wished it’d at least be a 100% safe way to get everything, but no, they had to put the decision to be backed up into the applications’ hands ;-;

I lowkey want this, it’s like the system equivalent of the screen cat (btw does that exist but with Wayland support?)

lmaoo, please post that on !linuxmemes@lemmy.world too!

Seems it’s been reported https://github.com/MHNightCat/superfile/issues/96a, and the PR to fix it looks like it was merged, so you should be able to run it soon

It sounds like it makes sense, but I’m not knowledgeable enough yet, I just found this as a maybe explanation https://flakehub.com/docs/faq#flake-versions I’d have to dig more in the rest of the ecosystem

I think a sensible progression is: nix + home-manager -> flakes -> develop -> nixOS

I can already see a good meme shaping up here, and I’m all for it XD
I really agree it might be the easiest way in, I’m already standing on the shoulders of giants having waited so long to start, so I guess I was lucky enough to skip the official docs

I’m honestly not sure how useful that flakehub

Me neither, I completely skipped over it, but it sounds interesting, maybe it wouldn’t be as wonky as the AUR since it’s Nix at least, idk

with barely no nix language knowledge I was able to roughly understand what’s going on

That’s actually great! Maybe I’ll try those as well, since sooner or later I’ll have to learn the Nix language anyways and keeping a purer system is always a good thing if possible.

Good luck with devbox btw
