  • Looking forward for the external monitor support. The fact they have got this far is amazing.

  • "Basic"? Is there going to be a paid/pro version or something?

  • I don't want to move to systemd, I'm happy with OpenRC. And I hope this move doesn't force systemd on those of us using Linux and KDE.

    That being said some devs (Gentoo devs?) cherry-picked some tiny parts from systemd and made packages for those parts so that when you want to install something with a hard dependency on systemd but you're using another init system (like Gentoo's default OpenRC) you will be fine without actually installing the whole systemd thing.

    Maybe the FreeBSD folks can think of something similar, but I don't know. Last time I looked when there was no official efforts from KDE to bring it to FreeBSD they bitched about it because it was "bloat".

  • "A Windows themed Linux distribution" can't really be "Windows themed" without some closed-source blobs and maybe even some backdoors sparkled here and there

  • TIL physics can only describe 5% of our universe. The rest is a mystery and something called "dark matter". Over 3,000 scientists are working together to produce dark matter

  • GNOME and Mozilla Discuss Proposal to Disable Middle Mouse Paste on Linux

  • I'm pretty sure people who use MMB do know that it uses one of the two clipboards in Linux. Hence the reason they use it.

    That being said, I find baffling that they are not setting this as an optional feature but just outright disabling it.

  • Us nerds using Linux with our old machines raging against the system slowly gaining market-share.

    I swear the majority of us nerds using Linux have pretty new and powerful machines - sadly that hasn't ever been my case, though, but in online forums, Lemmy, Reddit, and what have you it feels like people interacting have pretty cool hardware.

  • I agree with some comments at HN about that proposing an alternative is kinda pointless. D-Bus, contrary to the X situation, can be fixed.

  • Linux Kernel 6.19 Will Introduce the Terminus 10x18 Console Bitmap Font

    Jump

  • This made me remember that one time several years ago when I was wondering if there was any way to change that font and learned there was some sort of service that allowed you to do that in boot time, but the downside was that there was some sort of what it's known at frontend web development as "FOUT" (flash of unstyled text) and you could avoid that by converting your .pcf font to C code and patch it into the kernel code, but at that point I gave up.

  • Debian's APT Will Soon Begin Requiring Rust: Debian Ports Need To Adapt Or Be Sunset

    Jump

  • Uhm, what?

    Wayland has been in the works for more than a decade. Granted, there's some people having issues with it, with propietary hardware (nVidia) and not-so-common setups like two monitors, but it happens that they are the most noisy. For the rest of us it's been great, stable, and feels snappier than X.

    If you want to talk about shoehorning stuff into Debian, talk about systemd.

  • Banana

  • As much as I love potatoes and that they came from this little corner in the world, unlike bananas they have to be cleaned up. I know this because my father grew potatoes all of his life. Alas bananas won in that aspect.

  • CRUX is a lightweight Linux distribution for the x86-64 architecture targeted at experienced Linux users

    Jump

  • Slim, stripped of unneeded documentation and files (including National Language Support; CRUX only supports the native language the programs were written in, which is english in most cases)

    I'm positive about cutting unnecessary stuff, but imho that's a bit too much (I mean for us non native english speakers, or at least those not learning english)

  • GNOME introducing stronger dependencies on systemd

    Jump

  • Because choices, freedom... that kind of stuff. And I say this as a now long time KDE user who used to use GNOME in the beginning.

    That being said, what made me flee to KDE was realizing that its devs somehow think they know their users better than their users know themselves so they decided to develop a software metaphor with a utterly specific way to do things. Not that it's a bad thing per se, they can do whatever they want if they don't hurt anything or anyone else - but I wish people coming into the Linux and FOSS world could have that as a kind of warning when the distro they choose to begin their journey happens to ship GNOME as default.

  • TIL that in 1975, after Gillette introduced a two-blade cartridge razor, Saturday Night Live aired a fake commercial for a three-blade razor. Gillette introduced one in 1998. In 2004, a satirical ...

  • Yes, shaving is a chore - when you have to do it on a daily basis.

    As a professional bald fart for more than 15 years, one of the reasons I'm thankful to be able to work from home is that I no longer need to shave head+beard on a daily basis. I really dislike the "shade" so always tried to shave as close to the skin as possible, which took me up to half an hour. Now that I have a job I get to look like one of those wojak characters with aggressive baldness and not worry about shaving for days.

    Granted, with a safety razor that time came down to like 20-25 minutes and got less nicks than with a disposable razor. But when I had the chance to get a Leaf razor that came down to 15-20 minutes and never got nicks again. And with that one it's like the best of the two worlds - multiple blades to speed and make easier the shaving process and the non-disposable razor with real cheap and superb blades.
