I’m very excited for what’s to come. Good to know things are going well with the testing and bugs don’t seem too bad.
As features I’d like to see, I guess we still can’t configure different language layouts for different connected keyboards at the same time? I really would like to be able to have my usb connected one with english and the native laptop keyboard with portuguese. It’s annoying that I have to constantly switch when needed globally the layouts. At least multiple connected mouses seem to work fine.
This weekend is getting Foundry VTT up with a reverse proxy and certs for voice/video chat. Spinning up a new VM in proxmox and getting HAproxy configured for it (it’s used for the rest of my services).
Another thing to solve: XWayland apps as a different user
Giving access to the wayland socket makes other users able to use wayland; however programs that rely on XWayland to work don’t seem to get it:

Indeed - the general configure, build install steps are fairly universal and the configure script doesn’t have to cover from autoconf. We still have that and Makefiles as a wrapper around a meson based setup to keep the process familiar.
Hell maybe I do need to learn some shit, because I was under the impression that you cd into the folder after you untar it, then type ./configuremakesudo make install, but the last two packages I attempted to install from source like this just did nothing.
Maybe. But maybe they did nothing because there was no ./configure script and you had to use another tool, e. g. one of that I mentioned, so you need to learn another shit.
BTW installing anything from source like this is the right way only in (B)LFS.
But you definitely don’t need to learn this if you are a developer and starting a new project in 2024. You can use cmake or write plain makefiles, even shell scripts if you want, but as you value life or your reason keep away from the autotools. It is a nightmare to debug thousands lines of scripts they generate and put into your source tree.
Thanks. Finally after Mint didn’t recognise my network adaptor I tried Manjaro (everything worked great, but I don’t think I’m ready for Arch) so ended up on Pop_OS … everything works so I’m going to stick with this for now.
Good to hear, I’ve not had any issues so far. The only “niggle” I’ve had is when pairing my Bluetooth devices I’ve needed to turn Bluetooth on and off for each pairing bit once done they’ve reconnected fine.
How do you know if it’s open source? Well if it’s called something like “huggingface” or “redpajama” there’s a very good chance it’s made by people who have no marketing department. So good odds it’s free.
ChatGPT is pretty crap branding too, for the record. They just somehow managed to mainstream it. All the LLMs after it try to have cooler names (Bard, Copilot, etc.) but the kludgy first name is still better known.
