The Linux Thread - The Autist's OS of Choice

Does anyone actually use SonicDE? The XLibre people were really shilling it when the fork happened but I haven't really seen or heard anyone actually daily drive it.
I used it just to get the moving part out of the way, there are a couple of bugs, like the default lock screen hotkey not working, but other than that it worked just as well as plasma-x11. Might as well support the project thats only really needed once 6.8 get released before it ends up dying before then.

IIRC there was big talk about it using xnamespaces by default but to my knowledge the entire xace/xnamespace stack is still not functional.
Its probably going to be the only desktop environment using it, since its closely tied to xlibre. Currently they were focused on removing all of the wayland code though.
 
I was surprised that he got so insulted about being offered money, was it that little or that much of a hassle?
Knowing what utter faggots the open source people are in general, I find it hard to believe it was an actual offer of compensation and more of a blatant attempt to call the other guy a sellout.
From the discussion in that forum it seems like one of the main artix guys is SmashJT-tier "delegate my brain entirely to AI" and another one is an anonymous fag who behaves in a thinly veiled subversive way that other non-leadership members have always being suspicious of. Considering that we know the project has powerful enemies in the form of much larger, woke faggot Linux companies, I would say it doesn't stand a chance in hell to survive infiltration and sabotage. The weakness is apparent.

Tbh banking on sonicde becoming a full alternative to kde into the future is already a tall ask, I wouldn't trust it personally to make it to kde/qt7
 
Not reinstallations. I just happen to have a lot of machines.

I swear, you Troonix fags are all like:

Code:
if os == Windows
   {
    blame os
   }
else
   {
    blame user
   }
Linux requires you to take responsibility for administering your computer, rather than outsourcing it to Microsoft, Apple or Google.
It is a fundamental thing that critics and users themselves often don't understand.

The GPL software that is used through the system is provided with no warranty, and this is spelt out for you.

That means we do get to blame the user.
 
Linux has far more intuitive disk rescue solutions, for a broader range of situations and points of failure.

Microshaft is just "trust us bro this works 100% of the time for every scenario" and then some other shit gets through that ruins your day, before finding out it's a hardware defect or an imminent hardware failure. Or they enshittify everything to the point GOOD disk rescue solutions on Windows are fucked over.

Ok so the braintrust at openbsd is trying to figure out the seabios problem. We're gonna try an image that uses a fat32 file system instead of fat12 because seabios has trouble reading that. It seems to work on Chromebooks with coreboot but not coreboot derivatives like libreboot.
 
I got banned from #artix on libera.chat by nous after this was announced. It was out of nowhere. I was one of the ones who talked about artist deleting the post, but I hadn't said anything else in the IRC since, and opted to stick with Artix for the time being. When I asked nous on the Artix forum why, he replied with just the log.

Well, I'm never plugging this distribution anymore lol.
 
Looks like the guy that was maintaining the Debian packages for xlibre just stepped down. But at least he was kind enough to actually announce it so Callmetango is taking over temporarily

I think Venderfoul Wolf maintains their own xlibre packages and it's pretty stable.

Also:
It sounds like completely stripping out metux’s work did permanently fuck the fork, so they are starting over with a branch that was rolled back to a year before the Xlibre fork, and this time not removing the 400 metux commits from before this point.

Fuck it, im off to arch. Was meaning to give hyprland another try. I'm now vibe coding a quickshell bar to see if claude can do that. It's already tried to make the clock widget update every ms for no reason, so its off to a great start.
for shits and giggles make Claude make it multithreaded with each thread in a different time zone

I would prefer making it usable, thank you. After giving myself a seizure trying to make a brightness slider work (It triggered ddcutil every frame the slider moved), i think im alright without vibe coding, this shit is ass and quickshell is a lot more easier to write than i realized.

Alright @SchizoDaemon here's what went down
The official image uses fat12 for the install media which is not readable by this implementation of seabios
Installing openbsd with gpt also does not work, you have to use mbr. Otherwise works fine but you do need to either spin your own image or find one online here

It seems like a good idea. KDE is run by subhuman retards. I have been trying out the latest version available in Devuan stable. Even on X11, it is retarded. Why the fuck would anyone think it is a good idea to have the Alt-F2 run command run 'whatever the best match is from the start menu' if you type in a command and hit enter before it's finished checking if that's a valid command that exists? I am running this on a laptop that's only 12 years old, it has a nice quick SATA SSD I stole from a fileserver my employer was retiring, it works perfectly fine, but these fucking mongs think it's a good idea for users to have to wait to not outrun their keyboard like I'm using a fucking Selectric. They should all be raped to death by niggers.

EDIT: MOTHERFUCKER

SERIOUSLY THESE FUCKING COMMANDS I WANT TO RUN ARE JUST IN MY ~/bin DIRECTORY

I SHOULD BE ABLE TO TYPE alt-f2 AND THEN 'camatrix' AND JUST HIT ENTER AND HAVE MY CCTV MATRIX SHOW ALL THE CAMERAS WITHOUT HAVING TO WAIT TWO HUNDRED MILLISECONDS TO NOT ACCIDENTALLY LAUNCH THE ASCII VERSION OF THE 'canfield' BOARD GAME FUCKING DIE

This just shows you to be even more obviously retarded. I just ran through the Devuan install on a new (10 year old) machine. There were exactly two points in the install where a 'progress bar' appeared for longer than a couple sips. So for those I just walked away.

And with the install done and unattended-upgrades set up, I do not have to worry about manually running Windows upgrades and manually running winget or chocolatey to upgrade actual application packages. No changes required to stay secure, until Freia becomes the stable version, and there won't even be a rush to do that. Even if I exposed my docker containers to the web, there are myriad options to ensure that they stay up to date. Windows could never.

Which ones, exactly? Nothing on Linux comes even close to the various chinkware on Windows in terms of features and intuitivity, let alone more serious commercial software. Besides, Linux simply needs its tools more often because a simple system crash can render the FS inaccessible, at least with the native ext FS. The lack of a self-repair ability has always plagued it. When Windows crashes, you just restart, and it will continue working.

Microshaft is just "trust us bro this works 100% of the time for every scenario" and then some other shit gets through that ruins your day, before finding out it's a hardware defect or an imminent hardware failure.
It's not any different with Troonix. But it will more readily tell you that sOmEtHiNg iS wRoNg with your machine (that has served you well on Windows for years) every time it boots, and never shut up about it.

Or they enshittify everything to the point GOOD disk rescue solutions on Windows are fucked over.
Name them.
