lurch,

I’m pretty sure it’s because less people use it. They make fun of Gentoo taking longer to compile stuff on install/update, but that’s pretty fast nowadays. What really takes up time is making all the choices. I remember hours of selecting obscure kernel options and choosing use flags “what is ncurses? Do i need ncurses? What is sdl? Do i need sdl? …” I mostly use Ubuntu now, because I got no more time for that.

lurch,

I think that’s only true for the programs, not for the JVM/JRE code. The JVM/JRE doesn’t support Wayland without the xwayland compatibility layer. Also, some games use “native” libs that do optimized 3D stuff. Those are special Java classes, not part of the JVM/JRE that interface with C libs, kernels, system calls and hardware directly. Some will stop working without an X window to connect to. Some are long forgotten and won’t be ported.

The best way used to be XPRA. You can also tunnel it thru SSH, but not necessary in a trusted LAN. XPRA is like a per application display proxy that keeps an app running even if the connection is interrupted and enables reconnects as well as transfers of Xclient windows to other Xservers, i.e. you can transfer the remote window from your notebook to your workstation Xserver whithout having to restart the app.

lurch,

It’s because you don’t want to reinvent the wheel all the time. It sucks doing it. Lots of effort. It’s much better to build on existing stuff and maybe improve it for your needs.

lurch,

I’m not familiar with your package manager, but some have logs detailing what exactly they did in chronological order.

lurch,

As long as you do not use root privileges (indicated by sudo or that password promt pkexec) you cannot destroy the system in a way that can’t be fixed by deleting a few files in the users home directory.

lurch,

Is conky still a thing? I used it for that when I used an exclusively passive cooled PC a few years ago. You were able to easily create bar graphs in a config file and even include output of commands.

lurch,

Looks like he married Mileena from Mortal Kombat 😀

Help, boot doesn't work anymore

I have a laptop eith sata and a nvme drive. I installed a few operating systems and I decided on Mint for Sata. Installed it copied data from Nvme drive since I was using it as primary. I installed Nobara on nvme and it worked flawless until a few moments ago. Reboted and Mint is gone from boot options. Tried to add it but...

lurch,

It is a little program that starts an operating system. It’s very small and basic. It has to be put in a special place on the drive.

lurch,

Their language is a lot like memes. Harold; holding cup.

lurch,

don’t be google

lurch,

I’m pretty sure dinit, s6 and runit are faster than systemd (in that order), but it probably depends a bit on your setup. It has better boottime than some others, tho

lurch,

How many did you use though? Is it also the fastest (n=1) ? 😃

> implying bleeding edge is good

lurch,

Also often becomes %20 or + in URLs. Doesn’t really help with readability

lurch,

Be careful. Make sure the camera and mic is off before cussing and swearing 😅

lurch, (edited )

The concept is viable. Just needs moar mirrors

lurch,

What’s your problem with it?

lurch,

Except for EFI/swap, partitions nowadays only make sense if you want to force a hard cap on a directory, e.g. /tmp, /var/mail or /var/spool to make sure one function of a system doesn’t break the others when it goes out of hand, but there’s also quotas for that. It always sucks if you have to resize, so it’s probably best to have as few as possible.

lurch,

Better shoot it with a tachyon beam too. Just in case.

lurch,

Well it is a bit gay if you’re an army seargent and your privates have the same gender as you.

Just order a pizza and eat the warm pinapple from the top 😂

lurch,

Firing just works different if your position is for life.

lurch,

This reminds me of the last episode of “The Continental” of all things. A follow up of this side plot would be nice.
