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.

lurch,

I often switch between Wayland and X. My only concern is java does not yet support Wayland and old native libraries (e.g. 3D stuff for no longer maintained Java games) will probably break, once Java actually switches. Java and some Java games work with the xwayland compatibility layer, for now, but there are glitches sometimes. There are multiple projects porting Java stuff (e.g. Swing) to Wayland. All unofficial and incomplete.

lurch,

I recently worked on a system that had the TERM variable botched and filtered and no nano, just vim. It was all hell. The escape sequences in vim wouldn’t work. I ended up suspendig it with ctrl+z, killing it, then editing the config with fucking ed and sed. That hoster sucks.

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,

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

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,

> implying bleeding edge is good

lurch,

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

The concept is viable. Just needs moar mirrors

lurch,

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

lurch,

don’t be google

lurch,

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

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,

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

lurch,

Looks like he married Mileena from Mortal Kombat 😀

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,

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

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,

What’s your problem with it?

lurch,

Firing just works different if your position is for life.

lurch,

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

lurch,

Pretty unsafe, because it makes people prefer big letters, i.e. W

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