BlanK0,

If there was a regolith but based on river or dwl I would definitely do the switch, cause i do like a more dynamic tilling workflow compared to the manual tilling

BlanK0,

True, but it would be pretty nice to have a sort of KDE or gnome type project but WM style

BlanK0,

Could be the case 🤔, I think if there was a more accessible WM with no tinkering in config files needed we might see a bigger adoption to the WM workflow (cause it really is more productive)

BlanK0,

Very interesting, but I do wish there was a equivalent but based on a dynamic tilling WM

BlanK0,

KVM is indeed a much better hypervisor, but it does require some setup with the terminal.

Since he is a beginner I decided to recommend virtualbox since it just works after installing. But if he doesn’t mind setting up things via terminal then KVM is definitely the way.

GNU Guix, definitely going to check out! I think also most of the packages I have are foss, for non-foss I have flatpak anyway 🤔👍

BlanK0,

From a forum:

“Systemd provides a lot of network functionality in systemd-networkd, journald, timesyncd, etc. that is remote attack surface. All the systemd “cloud of daemons” is tightly coupled by dbus interfaces that enable an attacker to move from one exploited system service to the next. Even if the attacker doesn’t manage to find an exploit in another system service, DoS is easily possible because the DBUS interfaces are quite fragile. Even as a benevolent admin it is easily possible to get the system into a state where e.g. clean shutdown is no longer possible because systemctl doesn’t want to talk to systemd any longer and you cannot fix that. systemd-udevd also has raceconditions galore, so sending any message to it in the wrong order relative to another one will kill the system, maybe even open exploit vectors. At the very least I would, for hardening, recommend not using any network-facing systemd functionality.

And lines of code are not ridiculous, they are the best first-order estimate available. Of course an actual inspection of the code is better for a comparison, but that is a huge task. sloccount is quick and easy.”

BlanK0,

Like some have mentioned, if you want to try different distros setup a VM (I would recommend KVM for better performance, but virtualbox is easier for beginners in VMing) with the iso of the distro you want to test out.

Like this you can keep a functional system without the hassle of having to setup on baremetal just for testing and having to go back again if doesn’t pay-out.

Also would suggest messing around with more tech-savy setups like debian and fedora (specially minimal ones) if you want to delve deeper into the Linux nerdiness.

BlanK0,

Me every time 😂

BlanK0,

You could try fedora sway or gnome spins

BlanK0,

This blog should help you with the installation and how to use, also if you need more in depth info there is this guide as well

BlanK0,

Try installing it with nix

BlanK0,

Nice to see older projects being rejuvenated 👍

BlanK0,

Really good article, based af 😎🔥💯

You could switch to proton mail and synchronize the gmail account to proton, saves the hassle 👍

BlanK0,

Foot and alacrity

BlanK0,

I would recommend trying it on a virtual machine, or even better a external ssd

Some of the X11 WMs are dwm, awesome, qtile, bspwm, etc.

Gonna leave here a link of a list of X11 WMs if you are interested.

Like some have said on this thread, there isn’t really a better wm, it all comes down to your own needs.

BlanK0,

Although the icons are kinda not minimal with the amount of colors in there, they could have like made one app with one or two colors and the other with different ones

BlanK0,

Based 😂

BlanK0,

Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised, I don’t know much about Go but based on Google’s track record it seems like the gameplan is to sell a bunch of user data to third parties and go rich

BlanK0,

You can always switch to another language later on if anything goes south, since a lot of the thought process is the same behind the scripting 🤞

BlanK0,

Xfce, cinnamon or KDE 👍

BlanK0,

I am using void at the moment, pretty stable even tho it is rolling release

BlanK0,

I think its a bit of a overreaction, but you can always download Foss apps even if you can’t download better private OSs, its not the best but its better then nothing
