General love of all things linux and the choice it provides. I prefer to hang my hat in gentoo with e16 but do like to keep up with other stuff.

@Twakyr I’ve been a hardcore gentoo user/fan for 20+ years, I thought I’d never be able to use anything else till I started playing with Nix this year. The granular configurability of each individual package has yet been unmatched for me in any other distro till Nix. For #gentoo though, I’d highly recommend taking great care in tailoring your
/etc/portage/make.conf, setup/etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.confwithsync-type = git, and use/etc/portage/package.{use,mask,unmask,accept_keywords}as directories for individual packages. I tend to keep a/etc/portage/package.mask/failedfile for upgrade blockages fer me to unfuck after aemerge -avuDUN @worldsucceeds.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Wayland - How Best to Log My Own Desktop Activities

This is so much less helpful than just posting “I don’t know” or “beats me”.First, if you’re gonna post code, put it in a code block. And nevermind you not knowing if the ““code is good””, it doesn’t even adhere to the question that was asked; the two programs you suggested are not even wayland compatible tools.

Haven’t ever done this in wayland, but in X, I always used toxdotoolto grab the title of the active window. I’d guess you could do the same using one of the wayland alternatives likeydotool,wlrctl,dotool, or whatever else is out there. And something likegrimto grab an image of the window.

Linux@lemmy.ml•What's the best way to create dedicated devices with Linux?
42·11 months ago@dontblink I’d think #NixOS would be ideal for this task. As for hardware, any of the SBCs listed on their ARM page should do.
@brownmustardminion I think you’d be fine still usin

Linux@lemmy.ml•what exactly am I doing adding deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian sid main to my etc/apt/sources.list? trying to install newest yt-dlp on debian 12.6
6·2 years ago@merompetehla If you’re not running sid, do not look for install instructions on the sid page. If you’re on 12.6, that’s Bookworm (current stable name), look there for help with 12 stuff.
Best way to use the current #yt-dlp is to uninstall the one from the repo, and grab the current release from the github page and drop it in
$PATHsomewhere.

Linux@lemmy.ml•I'm Not a Programmer, but Here’s Why Linux Is My Daily Driver
8·2 years ago@petsoi Beautifully written perspective; the
KDE Activitiesbit of that was my favorite! Multiple workspaces on a single monitor is probably one of my most advocated features. I’m telling someone about it at least once a week, even if it’s just showin em how to use the cut-down one on their windows machine.

5·2 years ago@lemmyreader @electricprism There is someone who managed to convert a
proot-distroversion of #alpine into a #pmos one. It’s not as great as it may sound though.
@LukeSky #lutris is good for more’n just games 😉

@Lem453 Everything on that page refers to configuration problems. Most of them inferring a misunderstanding (or complete disregard) of the requirements that need to be implemented prior to configuring suspend-to-disk in order for it to work properly. Both the gentoo, and arch wikis have very thorough instructions on how to successfully incorporate this feature.
@drwho Whatcha mean by “not a sure thing”? Is there some issue with specific hardware, or configuration?
@JRepin Am I the only idiot who uses
systemctl hibernatewith a proper swap partition? Works perfect every time I’ve set it up.

Linux@lemmy.ml•biggest: List biggest files and folders. (Bash script for du command)
4·2 years ago@thingsiplay Nicely done, I like it!
For years, I’ve been using a similar(?), very simple script I’d banged together. I made it originally to track down a few out of control log files, and later changed it up for a general space freeing overview.
df -h $1 && du -ha "$1" |sort -hr |head -n25
@alexei_1917
Of course there is only one that can be considered “the best”, it’s the one that works best for you. Everyone should try a different UI from time to time; who knows, you may find somethin better’n the best. You may also learn that people who use “that one” ain’t as dumb as they look. 😆
…oh, and the correct answer is #e16 🤘
