Strit, 6 months ago to linux in NixOS on OnePlus 6 with Extra Steps, or the Diary of my Descent into Madness

Thanks for the detailed response.

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

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

Strit, 6 months ago to linux in What are you most excited when it comes to linux in 2024?

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

Strit, 6 months ago to linux in Kernel 6.6.6 is out 😈

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

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

Strit, 6 months ago to linux in How to Clean Electron Cache

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.

Strit, 6 months ago to linux in Systemd timer unit

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.

Strit, 6 months ago to linux in CentOS Stream for a private KDE Desktop?

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.

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

Strit, 6 months ago to linux in KDE Plasma 5.27.10, Bugfix Release for December

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

Strit, 6 months ago to linux in Surface Go 2 with 4GB Ram and 4425Y worth it?

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.

Strit, 6 months ago to linux in Surface Go 2 with 4GB Ram and 4425Y worth it?

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 to linux in What is the state of Multiseat in Linux today?

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.

Strit, 7 months ago to linux in Just read Madaidans Insecurities. Do you know how much is still relevant?

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