I didn’t know NixOS had official aarch64 repositories. 😜

Strit, 6 months ago

Thanks for the detailed response.

So nixpkgs is more akin to the AUR, then a binary repository? The AUR is also just build scripts.

That’s already here with systemd 255 which released recently.

Strit, 6 months ago

It’s a fancy number, but the release only fixes some wifi regressions. Nothing wild.

Strit, 6 months ago

It’s designed for systemd-resolved, so I would assume that he had to. ;)

It’s a cache. It’s meant to be deleted from time to time, especially if the application is not good at it by itself.

So simply delete the folder. Anything electron will need after that will be re-downloaded when the application is run again.

the timer has no idea if it was triggered during last boot. It only has the context of “this” boot, so it will do it right after a reboot and set a timer to start the service again after a week of uptime.

So if you reboot every day, it will trigger the service every day, even though you set it to weekly in the timer.

So it’s up to your .service file to determine if it has been run this week or not.

I actually thing that Fedora is your best bet here. Especially if you really need Red Hat based.

Strit, 6 months ago

Isn’t the package manager the same on CentOS/RHEL and Fedora? I mean, they are all rpm based distributions. OpenSUSE is also rpm based btw.

Strit, 6 months ago

Did not happen to me when I updated on Arch. So might be a Neon quirk.

Strit, 6 months ago

Not x86_64 based, but the PineTab2 and PineTab-V are 2 alternatives. The PineTab2 is aarch64 (ARM) based while the PineTab-V is, you guessed it, RISC-V based.

Both 8 GB RAM versions go for about $210 on their website.

Strit, 6 months ago

No worries. Just wanted to throw some alternatives your way, since I think €300 is a steep price for a 4 GB RAM tablet with no upgrade option. :) PS: Didn’t know stylus support was a thing. TIL about EMR.

While Linux TTY is multiseat by default, each TTY is a seperate user login, I’m not sure any of the GUI’s support this function.

I know of PRIME, which can be used to offload work to dedicated GPU’s.

Or the return of The Cube.

Strit, 7 months ago

It uses the github cert, but that is not set to use the github.io subpages that start with www.

Strit, 7 months ago

The difference, as I understand it, is that Hyprland is not a DE, it’s a Windows Manager. So it should be compared with the likes of Sway, i3 and Awesome.

Strit, 7 months ago

Nice. I’ve been running Plasma 6 on my Arch test laptop. Not a huge visual difference, but it works fairly well.

Strit, 7 months ago

Not debian based, but is KDE - Fedora Kionite

OBS already does screen recording on Wayland…

Strit, 7 months ago

If you use the correct encoder, yes.

Strit, 7 months ago

The Arch wiki article already states it’s unmaintained since January 2023. So Arch users have had almost a year to find another solution at this point.

Strit, 7 months ago

I agree. I’d love a quick TL:DR or rundown.

Strit, 7 months ago

The problem, as I see it, is that the author of the original Gist does not really want wayland replacements for what he has, but rather what he has to also work on wayland.

Wayland didn’t break everything. It broke what relied on X11 specific stuff, which turned out to be a lot of things. The vast majority of issues still present with Wayland are edge-cases that will only see the light of day when the people with those edge-cases start using wayland. And as long as distros default to X11, that won’t happen. So that distros, like Fedora, started defaulting to Wayland “early” on (yes I put early in quotes, because it’s only perceived as early) is actually a good thing. Makes the compositor developers aware of edge-cases they can’t catch themselves.

I’vge been using Wayland exclusively for over a year and apart from a couple of small bugs, not even missing functions, I haven’t experienced any issues relating to Wayland directly. But that’s for my use case. YMMV as always.

Screenlocking works just fine. That was not the issue mentioned.

Strit, 7 months ago

I think maybe Enlightenment can do that, but I’m not sure.

Normally workspace definitions are systemwide not monitor specific. A workspace uses all monitors on the system.

Strit, 7 months ago

Workspace is not the same as Workstation…

Strit, 7 months ago

As far as I know, only the kernel module was open sourced and in doing that Nvidia moved a lot of stuff from the driver, to the firmware/software part of their stack instead. So you would still need those, which are not open.

Strit, 7 months ago

OBS can capture wayland output just fine. At least in recent versions 29.X for sure. I don’t know how the Debian/Raspberry Pi OS repositories updates them. Hopefully they have a newer version these days.

Strit, 7 months ago

I know newer versions of Spectacle can do short video recordings. But that’s a Plasma app.

Strit, 7 months ago

I’m a KDE Plasma user and it’s using Noto Fonts by default IIRC. So that’s what I use.

Strit, 7 months ago

Seems correct: wiki.archlinux.org/title/Keyboard_shortcuts#Kerne…

SystemD defined default it looks like.

Strit, 7 months ago

I’m surprises no one has mentioned the ones I use most days.

• git (version control software development)
• openssh (for ssh connections to other devices)
• handbrake (video transcoding)
• Element (matrix client)

Strit, 7 months ago

I’ve had no issues saving to same folder as source when doing batch transcoding queues on Arch Linux. As long as the input and output files does not have the same filename it’s fine.

Strit, 7 months ago

I just realized you might be talking about the CLI version? I’m talking about the GUI version.

“How do you get on the other side of the paywall?” “You use a ladder…”

I’ll show myself out.

Strit, 7 months ago

What if your app actually needs access to the internet?

Strit, 7 months ago

In KDE plasma, to show hidden files in Dolphin, press ALT+Period. To open Krunner no matter where you are, press ALT+Space.

Strit, 7 months ago

Sure. I was just mentioning the defaults.

Strit, 7 months ago

The couple of apps I use through flatpak has not had any issues as far as I can tell. Other than maybe being a little slow to get pushed to the newest version.

Strit, 7 months ago

Maybe stock Ubuntu?

It’s pretty new. Has wayland and pipewire. You can just enable a checkmark in the installer to install codecs. Uses Gnome, so a non-Windows like workflow. Pretty sure Eduroam would work there, as many schools use Ubuntu by default.

Strit, 7 months ago

So when it’s booted it will just advertise the storage to the LAN over nvme-tcp protocol?

Strit, 7 months ago

But is it running at the same time as a an OS or is it just a device without an OS running, sharing storage?

Strit, 7 months ago

For my blog I use Ghost. It’s pretty simple to set up, but it does require a database (like most blogging software does). So it might not be what you are looking for.

Strit, 8 months ago

Surprised you didn’t think of docs.kernel.org.

DE independant but using libadawaita?

As far as I know only Gnome is actively using libadwaita. Sure it can run on any DE. And that’s good.

Strit, 8 months ago

So regular web browser can browse IPFS only systems?

Strit, 8 months ago

Cool. :)
