0x4E4F,

Whatever it is, my gut tells me I’m gonna like it!

0x4E4F,

Well, at least the horses had a good time 😂.

0x4E4F,

I’d suggets Void. It has Ardour in the repo (not Reaper though) and PiperWire with JACK should work out of the box. If you want Reaper, you’d have to install it manually though. I’m working on a template for Reaper, but it’s not finished yet. If you’re willing to wait a month or so, you’ll probably have Reaper in xbps-src as well.

0x4E4F,

Plugins as in VSTs?

0x4E4F,

I thought most of the FOSS ones were like libraries, just drop them in the adequate shared directory and that’s it 🤔. You could check dependencies with ldd and look for the adequate package with xtools.

Why didn't anyone remind me the dual booting exists?

I was talking to my dad yesterday and he talked about how he dual booted windows and Linux in his college days. I immediately left to download Ubuntu, I feel so dumb for forgetting it’s an option. I literally only use windows so I can play Fortnite with friends. PSA: you can have both Linux and Windows, or you can use a vm in...

0x4E4F,

Third world countries: We must 😔…

0x4E4F,

Have to agree on that. SSD and RAM prices have gone down significantly.

0x4E4F,

Cuz she has fuck you money? 🤷

0x4E4F,

Try Void. I was aiming at Arch as well, but then I stumbled upon Void… never made the switch to Arch.

0x4E4F,
  • It doesn’t use systemd, it uses runit.
  • The repo is full of any software you might need, including proprietary (through xbps-src).
  • Everything just works, if it doesn’t it’s probably your fault.
  • It’s a rolling release distro, yet focused on stability and usabilty, so you won’t get the latest and greates, but instead builds that are known to be solid. For example the kernel, it’s not the latest, as is with Arch, but it’s maybe one or two minor versions behin. The same applies to software, they’re known to jump versions if the current build proves to be unstable.
  • Lightning fast boot up. It’s also the fastest distro there is, apart from the *BSDs.
  • Compiling and testing is a breeze thanks to xbps-src.
  • A lot of tools and scripts that make building templates for software not in the repo very easy.
  • Supports a lot of architectures. NetBSD is the only other POSIX OS that supports more architectures than Void.

There are other things, I’m sure, but these are the ones I can think of ATM.

0x4E4F,

No, it’s not Arch without systemd. Arch breaks a lot more than Void does. Ask Void users when was the last time a Void update broke their system. I use it as a daily driver, plus for a lot of other things (at work and home) that are considered mission critical. I would never use Arch for that. Also, it’s faster than Arch, it supports A LOT more architectures than Arch does… or any other Linux distro for that matter (LFS excluded).

0x4E4F,

Not even console locale did on my notebook, have to fix that setup sometime.

What exactly did you do that you couldn’t change your locale? You do know that you have to reconfigure glibc-locales afterwards.

And the installer is pretty barebones and a bit buggy.

What exactly is buggy about the installer?

Nononono, there are only two POSIX certified linux distros: K-UX and Huawey’s EulerOS.

POSIX certification costs money. There are a lot of distros and OSes that are POSIX compatibe, just not certified.

0x4E4F,

Do you know any other distro that’s not LFS or Gentoo that still supports x86? I said a lot, not everything. Most distros don’t support anything below 64-bits.

A fork supported PPC up until a while ago. That project halted though. There was a new spin on it, can’t remember the distro’s name though.

xbps-src can cross compile for MIPS. There are no packages in the repo for MIPS though.

0x4E4F,

But also OpenWRT.

Oh, come on 🤦.

0x4E4F,

I meant as in a real OS, not a stripped down version meant to run as firmware.

0x4E4F,

I had to work around it so that it doesn’t send me to (disk? network? not sure anymore) setup again and again.

Never happened to me. How long ago was this?

0x4E4F,

I just tell them there are pirate subs (comms), that get’s their attention rather quickly.

0x4E4F,

Even worse, doing it on check out.

0x4E4F,

Yeah, I’m running my personal NAS on the company’s electricity bill 😁.

0x4E4F,

New… always.

0x4E4F,

Maybe not for under age… IDK…

0x4E4F,

Systemd has gone way and beyond what was supposed to be a replacement for init.rc.

Most important thing… not ALL Linux distros include systemd as the default init system. That’s the beauty of Linux (and POSIX in general), you can choose.

0x4E4F,

What? 🤨

0x4E4F,

This is where I draw the line.

What is good to eat when you have no appetite?

I am super sick right now and haven’t eaten much in a few days. It’s getting to the point where I am gonna need to force myself to eat something to keep my strength up but everything just sounds terrible to me right now. I have been subsisting mostly on small glasses of milk and the occasional packet of instant oatmeal....

0x4E4F,

Any form of crackers works for me. Cheese flavored are the best for me, but just about any form of crackers or food that is well baked.

0x4E4F,

Cry for help or just a meme?

0x4E4F,

Which one is it, lol 😂.

0x4E4F,

I start wondering if I’m ugly.

0x4E4F,

I use the xfce CPU graph plugin for the CPU… don’t use anything for GPU, I don’t game and all my rigs run on onboard GPUs. There is also a temp plugin for xfce, I use that one as well, can’t remember the name now though… it requires libsensors to work.

Is there any way I can make an old XMMS plugin work in any modern player?

Long story short, I learned there is an XMMS release of a plugin I use in Winamp for music playback (mp3PRO). Sadly, I recoded most of my music to mp3PRO back in the day, and now I’m stuck using Winamp, even on Linux. I like the player, wouldn’t change it, but I wanted to switch to something native, like Audacious or Qmms....

0x4E4F,

Yeah, but that will be their second conversion thus far… 3rd if you count the original CD it was ripped from 😔. I do wanna avoid that.

0x4E4F,

wav takes too much space, the collection will grown 5, 6 times the size… I just don’t have that much online storage at my disposal, my NAS is 4 x 2TB drives in RAID5, I have about 6TB at my disposal for everything (personal stuff as well as media).

0x4E4F,

I was afraid that this might be the only viable solution… I would do it, but it will take A LOT of time.

0x4E4F,

Ummm… I don’t live in the US and $50 is A LOT for me. My monthly salary is about $500. All of these 2TB drives are used and dicomissioned (replaced for larger one, they’re from work). I just don’t have the funds to replace them. The NAS is DIY as well.

And drives are not that cheap around here. They are, but not as cheap as in the US. SSDs are about the same price though… but our salaries are not.

0x4E4F,

Maybe… I could try FLAC, that might be a more viable option.

0x4E4F,

Well, the challenge is interesting though… but yes, you are correct.

0x4E4F,

One thing I’ve learned over the years dealing with PC tech is that spinning drives is the one thing you absolutely don’t buy second hand. Plus, you can’t find 4TB or above drives second hand here. People use them till they die or repurpose them.

Second hand PC parts are generally overpriced here. People wanna get like 70, 80% of the price they paid for them. There are some reasonable sellers, but as I said, they usually don’t sell drives or sell drives that no one would need anyway (250GB, 500GB, 1TB spinning drives).

Your last suggestion is kinda good to be honest, I might opt for that.

0x4E4F,

Yeah, well, people are not like that around here. Once you buy something 2nd hand, that’s it, you’re stuck with it, no refunds, no replacements.

0x4E4F,

To be honest, sometimes it’s just easier to use Windows, for compatibility sake. Sure, I can install Office or Photoshop through Wine, but some software can just be a pain in the neck to install and use on Linux.

This is the main reason why I dual boot and will most probably for a very very long time. I just don’t have the time to tackle with these things ATM, real life is more important.

0x4E4F,

I would rather tinker to be honest, I am that kind of a person, but currently, my family (kid) needs me. He’s young and needs guidance, playing, attention, etc. That is more important than tinkering with tech IMO.

0x4E4F,

I still use Reddit, mostly for the memes, but generally, rarely, like once every few days, while I visit Lemmy daily (a few times a day). The 2nd and 3rd I don’t use at all, the fourth, no. Mainly because I have to go out of my way just to share a video, and that kinda annoys me.

0x4E4F,

Well, I have the YT app and ReVanced on this phone, don’t know if there is a pipe version of the app. If there is, I’d gladly use it instead of ReVanced.

0x4E4F, (edited )

No, they’re completely different, have absolutely nothing in common. Though, yes, the Roman Empire did steal a lot of the culture from Greece.

0x4E4F,

The word for father and mother (especially mother) are similar in many European languages, Slavic included, which doesn’t mean the cultures share the same roots.

Though yes, I would agree that living on the same continent meant different cultures get to share a lot, inclding language, through trade or other means.

0x4E4F,

They’re called dependencies 😒.

0x4E4F,

Oh, that’s different then… I thought his dad was like “run Debian, or you’re grounded”, lol 😂.

I agree on the last part, that is most definitely true. You can try, but you can’t force it 🤷. After all, his/hers gifts may lay in another field, not tech 😉.

0x4E4F,

Your Steam Deck can do that too, have a look at what this dock does

Ah, of course 👍. Maybe like let him do the first few on his laptop and then be like “you know you can do that on the steam deck, right 😏” 😁.
