tomb looks like a nice wrapper around LUKS but it doesn’t appear to support creating a sparse file, so, it will immediately use however much space you allocate to it.
(I think it doesn’t support a sparse backing file because I searched the word “sparse” on their github, and for the word “seek” (which is the dd argument for creating a sparse file) in the tomb bash script, and both searches yielded no results.)
Vanilla Arch Linux, AirPods work better than on Android (which was super unreliable), but I also don’t care about automatic profile switching as I actually prefer to switch manually to whatever I need at the given moment.
I didn’t realise this option existed - and it’s an interesting one, perhaps giving the ease-of-use of Mate/Cinnamon/Gnome 2, without sticking with the older code.
It’s the best if you convince your boss that you need it for work in your non admin privilege system because you can sudo inside there so you can install whatever.
Is it supposed to replace the % with %%? Because that is what it seemed like it should do from the code.
If this is the bug you are alluding to then i will report the bug or else please tell me what the bug you referring to so i can report the correct thing
Different distros are better for different things. For example, some require give you more control over the OS but are more difficult to learn, or require learning more things at once. Others will be easier to try out but may make choices on your behalf that you don’t like - or distribute software in ways you don’t like.
Linux from Scratch will have a fairly steep learning curve. Nothing wrong with that, but you’d want to prepare yourself to be cool with things breaking or not making sense for a while.
Puppy Linux is minimalist, which is something people usually only want after they’ve tried out something else that’s not minimalist. I would recommend trying out something more general-purpose and try out different desktop environments and applications first.
Ram usage in this case would be localized to data “in-transit”, meaning there is an in-memory buffer that is eventually cleared and written to disk in seconds. Unless you have some crazy equipment that can transmit 20Gb/s, don’t worry about.
WSL has replaced my use of the command prompt in Windows for anything (and I used it more than most, I think).
In my job, I develop Linux applications to support industrial automation, and WSL is capable of building and running most of what I make. It isn’t a full Linux machine, and can behave unexpectedly when trying to do things like changing certain network configurations.
So it’s great for what it’s for, really. But if you want a full VM, this isn’t really for that.
There’s honestly not a lot of practical uses for it when you have the option of just running a Linux Distro anyway. It’s mostly to keep people who NEED to run Linux for work in Windows as an OS. Otherwise, I’ve found no purpose for it. Neat I guess? Useful, no.
