ffs we’re still in 2025 man.

the fucked up thing here is how did they find his reddit account? That post was years ago and he didnt even use some stupid username like “RealGrahamPlatner”. Makes you wonder if those reddit post removal tool work at all…

is omarchy a new distro or new window manager?

I stopped distro hop a while ago, and fixing tiling configs is not worth it anymore for me.

Fedora then? Just choose the default Workstation. Easy to setup. Easy to do stuff too.

usually people out it in bashrc and have it autorun

The party of poops indeed:

“Oh say you can you see, By the poops shall we stand Doesnt matter what really happens, Its the Dems fault through and through”

neofetch is pretty but it is slower than the alternatives: pfetch, fastfetch…etc. I either use those 2 or no fetch whatsoever: I want my terminal pops up and is ready to type.

what the actual fuck is going on

everything is a file lol, unlike on Windows where a lot of things are GUI based:

• Want to change your grub font size? Heres a file.
• Your python gives dependencies errors? Well, because the libraries (aka files) are in a different directory.
• want to change your password and username? Heres a file to change …so on and so forth

On Linux you have a lot of power, can use sudo to make changes to a file. If you know what youre doing, great. If you dont, system can break. Even without sudo, a misplace / mistype of files in the /home directory can cause weird stuff.

So TLDR is: be careful when make changes to files on Linux. Dont listen to stranger on forum who gives out command to paste and run. Do your research what the command does.

we need all repos to be stored offline, and documentations to troubleshoot.

the 1st i have no idea how much space we will need. Most linux packages are prerry light, no? But there is A LOT of them…

the 2nd is easy. Heard someone say the entire of wikipedia is 200GB, should be doable. Dont forget the technical wikis too: Debian, Gentoo, Arch.

wonder what eventually makes everyone ragequit on the ricing part lol

for me? it was the battery management and suspend/hibernate stuff. You need to do a lot of weird file configs to get them working.

I riced i3wm, dwm and even exwm and suspend/hibernate problem would pop up now and then.

On a full DE? Shit just works.

I do miss ricing though. Especially window managers, I can just git clone my dotfiles and have everything setup in seconds.

Keepass. I need to figure out a way to securely sync between Android <-> PC.

GNUpass should be very secure too but I need a way to view it on Android.

arch linux was what forced me to use LUKS on all of my installs regardless of distros, btw.

i used the standard layout:/boot, /, /home, swap. So when the installs break, the best way to fix is to use the archiso and remount and re arch-chroot.

Well… i found out that without LUKS, anybody can use any distros live cd and mount my stuff.

At first, I used LUKs only on the main partitions: so / and /home, or just / if no separate /home. Swap remains unencrypted. Boot is also unencrypted.

You could encrypt those too but need more work and hackery stuff:

• encrypted boot: can be slow if you boot the compututer from cold. There’s also this thing where you need to enter the password twice => think Fedora has an article to get around this. Iirc, it involves storing the boot’s encrypted password as a key deep within the root directory.

• encrypted swap: the tricky thing is to use this with hibernation. I managed to get it to work once but with Zram stuff, I dont use hibernation anymore. It involved writing the correct arguments in the /boot/grub/grub.cfg. Basically tells the bootloader to hibernate and resume from hibernation with the correct UUID.

chainsaw, what a choice of word lmao musk looked like a fucking loon when he received the chainsaw on stage

“this is the chainsaw for democracy. Chainsaw”

“yahhhhhhhhhh”

any over heating issues? What about fingerprint? I saw videos comparing the Pro’s ultra sonic vs the one on 9a. It showed the ultra sonic works all the time but the 9a’s can be cumbersome.

damn thanks, i didnt research the fact that GOS team is still trying to release for Pixel 10.

the 2016-2020 trump timelime pales compare to this one. Back then, we had late night shows making fun of him, stupid and random tweets (remember covfefe?). Things only blew up during covid and george floyd and the Jan 6th insurrection.

This timeline 2025 to 2029 (supposedly) is full of what the fuck moments. And we’re not even done with the 1st year !!

not sure about price and speed, but their subscription model is designed such that you may not need to give away your info. E.g. pay with crypto and even cash in mail.

could just replace it, no? Unless your keyboard is weird, the size of window key is pretty standard right?

depends what you do, tbh. If you try to get a 3D program (that works well in Windows) to work on Linux, or try to get a game running as smooth as it is on Windows, then you are in for a lot of work.

But if your usage involves: simple web browser / email, codes, file operations. Then Linux is just plug and play, even much simpler than Windows. No ads, no constant updates nagging.

Linux just leaves you alone, if you mess some thing up it is you fault. On my Win 11 laptop, I got logged off by the damn OS just for it to display a popup with something bullshit like “Sign in to OneDrive to protect your PC”
