The Linux Thread - The Autist's OS of Choice

  • The Kiwi Farms was targeted with a historic DDoS attack last week. Confirmed reports of 2.8Tbps on an individual provider, topping 4.8Tbps when known volumes are added together, and possibly up to 8Tbps if the attacker is believed. This is the third of fourth largest recorded.

I'm trying it now, there is a slight delay but it's definitely not a second, let alone two. It is there though, I know I've used X11 DEs in the past where terminal emulators and other simple programs launched instantly.
is your system under load or not? if its not under load then blame wayland or other shit, but if you are nearing 98 percent or such, it might lag a bit. ive had bullshit issues where if have 40 firefox tabs open and copy and paste sometimes likes to fail.
 
Well I did guix pull and added yt-dlp to my packages and it pulled 25 for some reason
yt-dlp 25? That's really weird. Have you done "guix pull" recently or after installing your system? It updates all package definitions from all of your channels. Also, I'm not 100% sure what ships with the default Guix installation, but you might want to add the new Codeberg repo into your channels if they haven't yet made it the default. Should look like:
Code:
(channel
  (name 'guix)
  (url "https://codeberg.org/guix/guix")
  (branch "master")
  (introduction
    (make-channel-introduction
      "9edb3f66fd807b096b48283debdcddccfea34bad"
      (openpgp-fingerprint
       "BBB0 2DDF 2CEA F6A8 0D1D  E643 A2A0 6DF2 A33A 54FA"))))
If that's not it then I'm not really sure why it would pull 25. My guix search shows it as being up to date

In what way? I've been using two clients no problem. I use this for window switching like Eve-O Preview.

How did you set up hotkeys? I've tried to use this one before, and while the previews work, and clicking them works, I can't get hotkeys to work consistently. Like it might work every once in a while, but then not again for a very long time. Both setting specific clients to a specific key, and trying to use a key like tab to switch to the next client over.

I'm using evdev on x11. You also have to hit the Save button frequently.
