Drito,

This is unrealistic. Read everything represents too much work.

Drito,

If you want stability you can choose Xfce. You’ll don’t need extensions because of easy configurability.

Drito,

Is Guix a cleaner base for a NixOS alternative ?

Drito,

Maybe MX attracts people who just want to use their computer easily. They are not interested in talking about their OS on the web.

What're some of the dumbest things you've done to yourself in Linux?

I’m working on a some materials for a class wherein I’ll be teaching some young, wide-eyed Windows nerds about Linux and we’re including a section we’re calling “foot guns”. Basically it’s ways you might shoot yourself in the foot while meddling with your newfound Linux powers....

Drito,

I did so many shit on my PC, I don’t remember an interesting one. Generally that was during a distro install.

Drito,

Maybe because Suse company wants to make business in USA.

Drito,

My first was Mandriva, it was around 2008.

Drito,

There is not much info about the package management.

Drito,

Wayland is a painful future, it is just a fact.

Drito,

Don’t be so sensitive, there is very few troll in this topic and lot of interesting remarks in both pros and cons.

[Rant] A few days ago, I asked if Mint would run okay on a Lenovo T460 (I appreciate all the advice). I got it working, but the installation was a big pain and I totally blame Lenovo.

I got the T460 refurbished and I really didn’t want to run Windows 10 on it. I last used Linux for any real length of time a good 20 years ago, so I’m pretty inexperienced with it at this point and I had to figure out how to install it myself....

Drito,

UEFI looks like another over-complicated proprietary shit that make PC more and more locked.

Drito,

I installed Arch on a disk without erasing the /home partition that cames from a previous distro. It saves me some config work, and a bit of disk life expectancy I guess.

Drito,

Flakes is still experimental. NixOS devs takes a bunch of time to release that. So most experienced users have enabled Flakes since years. Two different systems are available, which does not help ease of learning.

Drito,

I don’t use KDE but I suppose the click is detected on button release, not during the press. It should adress all these questions.

Drito,

Glibc has extensions that fragment compatibility. If Glibc is replaced by another libc, some apps prints an error, or don’t work. I noticed that on Alpine.

Drito,

For me the main config difficulty is from the statusbar. Polybar, Eww, are harder to config comparing to the WM. I solved that with Tint2 bar. It can be configured from an GUI, for the basics. The only code I added to config is simple.

execp_command = xdotool getwindowfocus getwindowname

It prints the window name on the bar. It is useful for bspwm windows.
