Tbh a “normal” democracy doesn’t only have 2 parties to choose from, none of which represents the majority of citizens. Your democracy sucks honestly.

The real question is, why are you considering Manjaro in the first place? What does it do that a different distro, without all the hate (which I personally think are 100% justified), doesn’t do? Why “risk” it?

Then literally just use Arch. I don’t understand why people want Arch but then install something different. If you don’t want to go through the install process then it’s honestly just not for you, but if you really want to try anyway give EndeavourOS a shot.

Not really. They are probably just missing the required entries in ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs. For example mine:

<span style="color:#323232;">XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/Desktop"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR="$HOME/Documents"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR="$HOME/"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">XDG_MUSIC_DIR="$HOME/Music"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">XDG_PICTURES_DIR="$HOME/Pictures"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">XDG_PUBLICSHARE_DIR="$HOME/"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR="$HOME/"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">XDG_VIDEOS_DIR="$HOME/Videos"
</span>

The file is made by the tool xdg-user-dirs-update in my case, normally ran by a desktop environment but obviously won’t be automatically ran in SwayWM.

Well, could you link it? What about the location makes it obvious that they didn’t plate unmovable concrete barriers?

Why don’t you want Musl?

PureTryOut, 9 months ago

Don’t recommend that glibc Alpine image please. You can’t just have 2 libc’s and expect everything to just work, it’s just asking for problems. Either deal with Musl or choose a different distro.

Dutch people use it (although I doubt it’s an official word), meaning something like “that’s what you get” or “oh well”.

KDE Plasma also has this through kio-gdrive, it works amazingly well. I’m glad the various Linux platforms have solved that problem at least.

Honestly, why did you expect anything different?

You’re clearly new to Pine64 😉

PureTryOut, 10 months ago

Pine64 is known for very shoddy software support and almost none of their devices have every bit of the hardware working on release, if any. A missing wifi driver is too be expected with them, not an exception.

Nothing in Plasma Bigscreen is specific to ARM. You just got to find a distribution that ships it for x86 or compile it yourself.

But tbf I wouldn’t recommend Plasma Bigscreen, it currently has no developers and is missing a lot of polishing and general apps.

I use VSCodium in Distrobox daily on Alpine Linux, and it works flawlessly. I don’t experience the problem you encounter but I use KDE Plasma which I suppose handles it differently.

I am however looking into slowly moving over to KDE’s Kate for development, my laptop really doesn’t like opening multiple chrome instances for the various instances of VSCodium and then also an Android emulator on top of that.

I daily drived the original Jolla Phone. However since I realized that it was even more proprietary (the core apps + UI toolkit Silica is proprietary) than a simple AOSP Android ROM, I decided that my next phone would be a regular Android phone again.

Now I’m dual-booting both postmarketOS and CalyxOS (which is an Android ROM) oh my SHIFT6mq and I have no reason to ever go back to SailfishOS, even though I liked the experience at the time.

For some people it’s definitely usable as a daily driver but not for me yet. I for one require some Android apps and Waydroid isn’t far enough yet, but I also need good suspend/battery saving which isn’t there yet on this particular device.

Wait, how did you view this post via Mastodon? I know both Lemmy and Mastodon use ActivityPub but the UX and urlpatterns are quite different and client-specific. What is the format of the link you used to view this?

EDIT: I wonder if Microsoft are making anti-Linux accounts to try and hamper Linux.

Lol. No, they’re not. Really.

What kind of conspiracy theory is that, Microsoft really doesn’t feel threatened by Linux.
