What do you think is the best thing to happen to in the last few years?

@itsfoss for the real year of Linux to finally come, there needs to be an effort to make GUI apps for most operations, now done in terminal, standard. I've used Linux for decades, and am more than comfortable with terminal, but most Windows users are not. It's fine to keep the terminal as is, but there needs to be a way for point-and-click people to be comfortable.

Eeeh. Backporting the bugfix also seems unlikely. So in conclusion, I gotta build it myself.
I don't want bleeding edge, I want less bugs. Yeah, plasma_wayland works okay, but not with two monitors.

MajinBlayze ,

Imo look into opensuse if you want newish stuff without living on the bleeding edge.

Fedora can be an option too if you stick a version behind the latest

Das Leben nach Neofetch

Die Entwicklung des System-Info-Tools wurde eingestellt. Doch keine Sorge, es gibt einen Fork und eine bessere Alternative.

say goodbye to the sudo. a sudo replacement called run0 that will be part of the upcoming systemd 256 release. https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/devel/run0.html

@nixCraft I got rid of sudo with

alias sudo=‘doas’

For those having trouble remembering: It's already in the name.
Kibibyte --> "Kilo Binary Byte", Mebibyte --> "Mega Binary Byte", etc.

Awesome! Thanks for elaborating. That was what I missed to remember it.

I have noticed a few Linux distros which include:

virtualbox-guest-additions

Preinstalled even though Virtual Box is not installed. It seems easy enough to uninstall, as nothing seems to depend on it. But it does beg the question of why it is included.

@ChrisWere@toot.wales avatar

@Linux I'd imagine it's there for those who want to run said distro in a Virtual Box VM.

What do you use to back up local files from Linux to external hard drive?
I have been using rsnapshot, but maybe there are better solutions out there?
Does anyone have an experience with btrfs and snapshots? Do you trust it?

Impressions after a week using KDE Neon: Amazing

It's been fairly stable as I would expect from an LTS. There's LOT of hiccups with whatever is happening in the tray area (power and battery sometimes doesn't work).

Language is pretty screwed up. I speak both English/Spanish in a Spanish location. Installer chooses half spanish and english in the /etc/locale, and has issues changing it in the frontend.

Overall nothing I can't fix as I put stability overall

@Sina That's a fair observation. It is highly probable that the team has no experience with doing a distribution. Sometimes I just ponder if it's just the lack of people in the team doing QA or just not enough experience to fix issues.

Sina ,

I don't know if it's a problem with experience.

I think it's mainly these two things:

-Intermingling very old Ubuntu packages with bleeding edge KDE.

-The goal is to demo & test new KDE features and other considerations are secondary.

@itsfoss Using a Steam Controller as an art input. Trigger for pressure (or flow), touchpach for rotation, gyro for tilt, which possibly could allow using position from the mouse or a pen (that doesn't need much/any pressure on a drawing monitor) in your other hand assuming it doesn't cause an issue for mixed input in Krita.

I mean SCC does exist (and surely it could be used for shortcuts) but doesn't seem to work with these types of events (even pen pressure).

My first real attempt at ricing. Working with Hyprland. Color palette inspiration from Kripton-GTK with Gruvbox-Dark icon set.
