I have no clue but I do have a question. If you want to mess about with window managers and ricing them (I like that as well), wouldn’t a non immutable distro be easier? It is “immutable” but it seems you want to mutate all kinds of stuff.

I think that’s because the user can still fuck up their system by doing some stuff to those user files, like not managing their packages correctly. Note that for normal users anything that messes up their user experience equates to messing up “the system”. But I don’t really know, it’s just a guess. I just run a normal distro where you can mess with everything (like god intended lol).

I use Artix btw. Pretty stable, I guess I have to fix something a few times a year.

I have been using Dash for years now as bin/sh. I couldn’t manage to get rid of Bash so it’s still installed (distro is Artix). As an interactive shell I run Fish. Dash is indeed rather terrible as an interactive shell as others have said.

As long as it doesn’t hold you back in your real work you can just keep tweaking because it is fun. Just see it as a hobby where you learn things and potentially improve your workflow for other tasks.

Hopefully other software doesn’t follow this path, otherwise it will be practically impossible to run a distro without systemd.

My nvidia drivers used to break sometimes but I just switched to dkms drivers and I have had a stable experience for years. Only downside is the upgrade takes a bit longer.

I have replaced it and it just clipped in and out of a round little thing it sits in. I happened to have the right battery on hand.

I’ll make sure to replace the CMOS and use disk encryption next time. My sensitive data is encrypted separately so I’ll be fine for now. I thought that with a bios password someone couldn’t just boot from a USB on my system but clearly it only delays such actions by a minute or two.

You’re totally right, it only makes sense. Maybe my brain needs its battery replaced as well.

Thank you, that makes sense. I guess it was almost dead and now it is really dead. I don’t understand how that makes Linux freak out over the login password though.

There seem to be way more people that keep saying that they hate Arch users who keep saying that they use Arch than Arch users that keep saying that they use Arch.

Starting to feel like a boomer with st/dmenu on xorg.

less or bat, but I usually use by paging up and down so it’s not that different from more… My terminal emulator only pages up and down, I like it that way.

I understand the problem of “code it yourself”. But if they won’t code it themselves, and it ought to exist, who has to? Everything that is provided is provided for free and with love and passion. If something is lacking in that there are only a few options. Including code it yourself or pay someone to code it for you. The only reason you get anything at all is because of the “code it yourself” attitude of the people who developed the software in the first place, as well as their willingness to share it.

Yes, indeed. Even agreed! Joking i was, poking some fun. All in jest, even the emoji couldn’t put the overly serious answers to rest!

Debian users analyzing graphs in order to estimate when they can upgrade from really old software to slightly less old software 🤣

I like fucking around and finding out. I also don’t like roll backs, real men only roll forwards :)

(don’t take that too seriously please)
