KDE Plasma. I just like it. It seems to have options to do what I want, for the most part. There’s some things I wish it had, like a way to programmatically get the active window under Wayland, so StreamController could automatically change pages.
I know it’s tangential to your comment, but I need to get this off my chest. I hate when things like Epic’s stance is framed as “not supporting” linux, when in reality they barely need to do anything to let the game run there. What they’re doing is actively detecting and blocking it.
Using pipewire, and I’ve tried both the SB X4 USB DAC, and a SBX AE-5 PCIe card. Obviously being Creative products that’s the cause of my issues, but I have found it very very hard to find alternatives. Every recommended option just supports stereo, it seems.
I think the audio interface thing needs a big asterisk; IF you are only interested in stereo, then it’s not much of an issue. But getting 5.1 to work has been a huge hassle for me.
Supposedly, 666 being a bad number is a mistranslation, and the actual bad number is 616. This is according to an old episode of QI.
Or you could not believe in evil numbers.
I’ve had another try, this time I set chattr +C on the image directory just in case my using btrfs was causing issues.
I had a VM but somehow the virtual drive got corrupted? And it wouldn’t let me install, update or uninstall VC++ runtime as a result. I’m gonna try again later, but it’s a worrying start.
Life when a Vector is a cool crocodile wearing headphones.
I remember hearing on QI about a snake that eats a poisonous frog in order to become poisonous itself. Don’t think it was Australian but who knows.
The point of use flags is to make it so if you don’t want to print, every package that would otherwise pull in CUPS as a dependency can be compiled without it. Stuff like that.
Gentoo also has a good system for handling multiple concurrent installs of different versions of some packages, e.g python.
If there’s software you want to install from source that uses automake it’s pretty simple to build your own package for it.
Very much a system for doing things your way, and a good way to learn linux IMO. To that end, no there is no installer, but the process is not that complex. Boot a live USB, partition and format a drive, download and extract a base system, install a kernel (there is a fits-most-needs one available now), install a bootloader. Reboot into your new system and continue installing what you need from there.
If I get under 300ms ping it’s a good day.
No, you`re right.
This looks like a python programmer that is mad they have to write C# Java…
Whenever I read something on the lines of X`s new Y, I think of Curt’s new hat.
No problem! To expand further, I am 99% certain it would be perfectly viable to have a single disk volume group and just take advantage of LVM’s ability to create, resize and delete virtual partitions on the fly. I think you could also put all your disks into a single volume group, then ask it to not spread your logical volumes across multiple disks, if you wanted to. Could get a bit fiddly though.
Pesky Paul and the bene geserits doing weird shit in the dessert.
You are correct, LVM combines 1 or more disks into 1 or more storage pools that can then be allocated out to logical volumes as needed.
If you just up and pull a disk from a pool (volume group), you’re gonna have a bad time. You can, however, migrate the “extents” allocated to that physical disk to another in order to replace the disk, and your logical volumes can be set up with RAID-like redundancy. There’s a lot of options on how to manage it.
What`s the censored one about?
