Sorry, I've got an RP2350 chip/program crashing I need to debug first, it's good to have hobbies. At least it has a debug probe and SWD.

Not Linux related: got the debug probe and gdb working against the target device. Replicate the crash easily but all the backtraces in the world didn't help. Finally broke down and read the code. 20 minutes later and a couple minor changes all is well. The problem was the crash was manifesting due to an initial setup problem. Emailed the author with the fix as I may be the first person to actually try to get an LED blinking on an RP2350 board. Next up, blinking TWO LEDs.
 

Not linux related. But it seems like a decent video. Not really ai derangment syndrome, its somewhere close to my opinion on ai. At least on some parts.

I haven't seen any of her other videos so idk what those are like.

>linux from scratch drops sysvinit and only supports systemd
linux from scratch has officially dropped from #1 flex "distro" to underneath gentoo, artix, void, slackware, venom, chimera, alpine, devuan, and whatever other distros have alt init support

"As a personal note, I do not like this decision. To me LFS is about learning how a system works. Understanding the boot process is a big part of that. systemd is about 1678 "C" files plus many data files. System V is "22" C files plus about 50 short bash scripts and data files. Yes, systemd provides a lot of capabilities, but we will be losing some things I consider important.

"LFS is about learning how a system works," but also also "we picked the init system that is more complicated by orders of magnitude."

On the other hand, given that the stated goal of systemd is to subsume every single operating system component and make it worse, you could expect some future LFS version to just involve using systemd-compiled to compile a new Linux kernal and a new set of systemd-* utilities, no other packages required.

Does Mint XFCE have any advantages over Xubuntu?

Gentler learning curve and more noob-friendly resources I suspect, whilst Xubuntu is a bit more DIY.
Since mint is a spin off of Ubuntu there's not a lot between them.

I would say the main advantage is that the various Mint variants don't throw away the advantages of Mint, which involve not just being bundled with 'useful software', but actively preserving 'useful software' (as long as it's GTK based).

The Mint project has repeatedly preserved actually useful software that either a) just got too much of a maintenance headache for the original developer, who became a maintainer, to keep interested in (totally legitimate, can't criticize that feeling at all) (Timeshift) b) or was deliberately sabotaged by stupid fuckwits doing insane rewrites (now THESE 'people' should be raped to death). I see them as the equivalent of one of those coal mines in the former Yugoslavia that still keeps a WW2 emergency German steam locomotive working day in and day out every day, with a fireman smoking durries and chucking the butts into the firebox just like it was back in the war.

It's a pity that there wasn't an equivalent distro project to highlight the 'Trinity' fork of KDE to help keep focus on all the superior software from before KDE4 fucked shit up like the original AmaroK that got fucked up by subhuman retards fuck assing around.

It has most of the default software included with the flagship Cinnamon edition, but with the added perks and utilities of XFCE.

The Linux Mint team are hard at work making all of their programs and utilities consistent across all editions, you have to wait a bit longer for the most current XFCE release but that's due to being built on top of Ubuntu LTS, fair game if you care more about stability over the latest and greatest. Xubuntu has theming that isn't even made to leverage consistency across GTK3, GTK4, and LibAdshitta from the foot fags.
 
Linux xisters. What did nool do on this update?

The forum was maybe the fastest I had seen it before. Now its slow in a really wierd way. I'm not sure if its just on my end or not, it doesn't seem like it though because it's only this site doing it.

I can't think of anything that would cause that, during a version update for debian.

Unless he was tinkering around with more. I know he removed the proxmox stuff, but that shouldn't matter either AFAIK. I don't know if he was even using it for anything on the site or just for his vps hosting stuff.
