Documentation is different from technical support and neither should be done on Discord.

i go to bed laying on my side, turn to slep on my stomach, then on my back, and once i’m actually asleep i look like this:

Hey, are you a cigarette? Because you smell bad. Go take a shower.

What do you guys do when you want to run unmaintained programs? (lemmy.world)

I recently wanted to run tegaki, and my experience is pretty much summed up by the meme. I consider myself fairly tech-savvy, but I just couldn’t figure out how to compile it. So I just gave up, downloaded the .exe and put it into a fresh wine prefix. After installing CJK fonts, everything ran fine. Now I’m trying to get...

find an even older, less mantained alternative.

I’d like you to guess which one of these is fake:

  1. How do I install Hyprland on NixOS using Flakes?
  2. How do I install systemd-dispatcher on Void Linux RC?

Edit:

OP has answered, the answer isthat the second one is fake, the first one is real.

Not only that, but there’s a higher chance of the detector lying than the Sun supernova-ing, so it’s probably a false positive. Yes I did just read some paragraphs from 3–4 Wikipedia articles.

Gentoo goes Binary (packages) (www.gentoo.org)

To speed up working with slow hardware and for overall convenience, we’re now also offering binary packages for download and direct installation! For most architectures, this is limited to the core system and weekly updates - not so for amd64 and arm64 however. There we’ve got a stunning >20 GByte of packages on our mirrors,...

literally 2 days ago i tried installing gentoo in a vm but gave up because it would take too long to compile… and now this??? guess my timing was pretty bad

if i did use gentoo, i’d probably compile smaller programs from source and bigger things like kernel and web browser i would use as binaries.

Minecraft works perfectly fine, pretty sure it runs natively on Linux actually.

Appimages do not have repositories, unlike Flatpaks and Snaps. It’s harder to install or update them since there isn’t a package manager for the Appimages.

I don’t know about Snaps, but Flatpaks are sandboxed, which basically means more security, since apps won’t get access to your system without permission. It’s kind of like Android where apps have to ask for permission to things like camera access, filesystem access, etc.


While I do use Appimages, they remind me of Windows and having to go to websites to download stuff.

Personally, I prefer just installing software with my distro’s package manager and resort to Flatpaks or Appimages when it’s not available in the repos.

related question, although i don’t think it’s big enough for a post of its own.

if i use btrfs subvolumes, does it mean that i can have one EFI partition and one root partition, and then subdivide the root partition using subvolumes? how would that work during the installation process? or is it done after installation?

It could just be that they’re just so far that we’re looking at these planets millions/billion of years in the past, meaning there may may be life there but we can’t see it yet.

Earth looked pretty icy when it was “snowball Earth” and early Earth’s surface was full of molten rocks.

depending on the distro you could use a .deb or .tar.gz instead of binaries and then install it with your package manager

i personally call it “theming” or “customizing” since these are quite descriptive. pretty sure “modding” is more often used in the context of gaming

why do windows users install chrome?

i don’t get it, edge comes preinstalled on windows and it’s chromium-based.

i think that’s called liking your current config
