PlexSheep,

Windows is having coffee delivered. It’s cold since days now.

PlexSheep,

Good post.

Despite all the progress in terms of Wayland, I still find my laptop to be unstable with plasma + Wayland on fedora 38. Many visual bugs, when the screensaver is entered and I move my mouse again, the screen just stays black until I close and open the lid.

Some booting and spontaneous shutdown issues too, but I assume that’s something else. (Framework 12 DIY)

PlexSheep,

Scaling is one of the major things that suck. Probably on xorg too through. And especially with multiple screens in different ratios and uncommon ratios (like the frameworks 2:3 one)

PlexSheep,

In the world of text editors, VIM, specifically NeoVim is the shining light. Standing at the pinnacle of creation at a height that can only be reached by zealous emacs users.

They have a learning curve through. Nano is obviously easier, but it’s also just a basic editor.

:x

PlexSheep,

Stop has a block mode, I just use that. Stop is so fancy I love it

PlexSheep,

If they ask nicely, maybe I will accept. The KDE guys have telemetry iirc, they get what they need.

PlexSheep,

Makes sense, gimp is the gnu image Manipulation Program.

PlexSheep,

Default plasma stuff and fora code NF for terminals and code editors (I use neovim mostly, so that’s the same in many cases)

PlexSheep,

Pretty sure it’s not. I saw something on this topic a few weeks ago but can’t quite remember. Iirc, it was a term in an early early OS, where a bit in memory was the privilege but and could be set or unset by turning a real wheel on the computer. This Stück with some people developing UNIX, so they called the wheel group wheel, but none of them are sure who came up with this.

Of course, this is just hearsay.

PlexSheep,

What could fedora be? I think I’ll switch from it to debian unstable or mint when I make time.

PlexSheep,

Mint is also Ubuntu based with no snaps crap

PlexSheep,

Can’t do a lot wrong with Linux mint I suppose. Stable software so support should be good, cinnamon doesn’t have too much fancy stuff that would use up ressources iirc.

It’s my top recommendation for beginners, might switch back to it some time.

PlexSheep,

Why not use dash’s or underscores?

My-foo-file.ext My_foo_file.ext

PlexSheep,

The flatpak crashes for me since some time sadly. I’m just using a basic chromium browser and their (shitty) webapp

PlexSheep,

I didn’t know it had a GUI, very nice.

Monsters of the road: what should the UK do about SUVs? [The Observer] (www.theguardian.com)

It’s midnight on the edge of Clapham Common in early September. The streets are eerily quiet as a shadowy figure in black shirt, shorts and baseball cap emerges from the common. He is wearing a red face mask, his features, except for some blond locks, hidden from view.

PlexSheep,

They are bad because they are cars, but in the realms of car usage, they are ultra bad because they are even bigger steel death machines.

PlexSheep,

I hear it takes weeks to do properly. I’m not a road building expert, but there are many things that go into it, and stuff needs to cool of and consolidate.

PlexSheep,

Cool if it works. Stick with what works for you

PlexSheep,

I don’t know these programs. Some hex editors are weird about editing, I use bvi to edit and it works pretty good for me.

Linux Audio Nerds, Take Notice — The Fedora Audio Creation SIG is being revived (discussion.fedoraproject.org)

If you use Linux to edit audio, mix songs and work with audio in general, including having trouble making certain audio hardware work, it’s your chance to join a community effort to make Linux audio creation better and more accesible....

PlexSheep, (edited )

Personally, I use Bitwig studio. It’s. It not Foss, but it’s well build, not as expensive as others, and it fulfils the “no Tux no Bux” requirement.

PlexSheep,

Sure, happy hacking

PlexSheep,

Just in case you are on a desktop and using qemu for local virtualisation, I would recommend you use virt-manager.

Besides that, set up spice or vnc daemons in the guests, as others have said.

Just in case You’re virtualising Kali Linux, use their provided qemu image, you won’t have to worry about it. If you don’t know what Kali is, don’t use it.

PlexSheep,

Okay, so my guess was right. Don’t bother setting things up manually, qemu and libvirt are hellishly complex. If you don’t need something super special, use virt-manager.

Just use the provided qemu image on the Kali site, import it, and you’re good to go. Don’t worry about the other stuff.

Depending in your screen you might have to set a custom screen resolution, but if you’re using something standard, xfce should automatically recognize everything.

A little tip: set up an ssh server on the VM and upload an ssh key, that way you can get a Kali she’ll quickly from the comfort of your hosts terminal.

PlexSheep,

Sounds interesting, I’ll check it out.

I’ve only read the intro, sounds very promising. I’ll have to get to my computer.

PlexSheep,

Thanks :) I’m currently “too slow” haven’t figured out what to do there yesterday evening.
