Learned from America? That’s funny.

This was my take as well, so I ended up with vanilla Void.

i actually ended up installing vanilla Void. I messed it up before with seating and  bash_profiles, but following strictly their documentation, it took me  10 min to get  a fully xdg-portals powered system with plasma.

Truthfully, it’s because I’ve become increasingly lazy lately,but I’ve been looking for a reason to move away from systemd ,as I am not a fan of hard dependencies like that anymore - been using arch for years and am looking to try other init system to sort of break away from monopolies.

You’re right of course,however, I find the Void documentation very lacking TBH and getting a minimal install with plasma and pipewire so what I need.

Edit: thanks for the recommendations. I completely forgot to check distrowatch.

Linus No Tech Tips.

I can’t for the life of me get used to Gnome on my desktop. I tried so many times, but I always get the feeling of using a tablet.

I like the concept, but it’s simply a laptop or tablet centered DE, at best.

This is the sensible comment.

Void Linux with runit, here I come!

it looks like there’s a new generation of “I run cachyos BTW”. While you are free to choose whatever distro you wanr, the passion with which you defend cachy is adorable.

Cachy is nothing but hype, surrounded by fanboys without much experience, who are willing to believe a governor and a couple of tweaks gives them the best os on the planet - I know, cause I used it and went back to arch because I prefer something that is real and the result of hard work, not a hacky job,that looks like someone just had fun hyping the shit out of “performance gains”.

You can keep your 1% gain, and the bloat.

JSYK the differences are marginal between a vanilla arch install and cachy. You have you dig really deep to see any difference in performance.

iMO cachy is a good marketing arch distro.

i recently went from an iPhone 12 Pro to a Fairphone 6, because reasons. However, good god… The iphone keyboard is atrocious. For anything other than English, it’s like Apple think languages don’t have words in them.

Worst experience I’ve ever had with a soft keyboard was iphone’s. Never again.

Edit: words.

I guess a Pixel 7/7a would fit your criteria. It’s between 100-130€ on Vinted for example.

Nothing much. now WhatsApp can’t be installed on any custom Roms. if you installed it a while back, it should still work though.

Whatsapp no longer works on any aosp ROM, even with locked bootloaders. It requires attestation and bootloader lock, so the only way to use it it either with stock ROM, or - like I currently am - with matrix bridge (which pretty much sucks).

I wish I could convince relatives Signal is the same, but better, but they are still on Yahoo and Facebook, so they are a completely lost cause (even my wife doesn’t want to, as she says she already has WhatsApp and that’s enough).

Edit: End rant. You might not even use WhatsApp and then you can be happy. i suggest you install and use the Sapio app to check some of your apps compatibility.

Ah…to be a student at 46. Good times.

I hope someone did a Mutris fork.

A project is as good as its weakest point. While people might get butthurt by getting pointed at, a project is a group effort. Segregated teams are always a problem and almost always becomes a vulnerability,

Given current micro services architectures, we all have to get along with each other,for the greater good and the interest of the customer.

You sell shit, you get shit back. You sell high quality products with less obvious faults, you profit in the long run.

But no: “Let’s test in production”…

Testing in production is the most idiotic last 10 years or so concept, which is mainly driven by incompetence of project managers.

Imagine if you get sold a car by a company, for 100k, then it starts having major issues and the car company tells you: “we’ll fix it”.

While that does not necessarily apply to software or services or webapps, the logic still stands. You are selling bugs to people. Bugs that could have been cought, with some risk management and planning.

Edit: F-ing ios keyboard.

There were some decent people in his team in the past. I’m not against anyone else, just his obnoxious character.

i’ll have a look at this channel. Thanks for the tip!
