    Distro for a really low spec PC

    Jump

  • I haven't heard anyone talk about puppy Linux in a bit. That used to be the go to for ultra lightweight setups.

  • FUTO License, an alternative to Closed Source

    Jump

  • It does inherently lean into the concept of corporate forks over community forks. A byproduct of prioritizing monetary gain. I think the license is really just a foot in the door to allow for community audits. Realistically I don't see anyone wanting to contribute to something like this unless the product has slim to no real competition.

  • All of these alternatives and you missed the best one ripgrep (rg). The other ones in my opinion are nice to have. Recursive multi-threaded grep that respects gitignore files is a must for me.

  • It all makes sense now

    Jump

  • I've also witnessed matrix structure break down when too many methods of communication are used. It's all very brittle.

  • Intel CEO announces layoffs, restructuring, $1.5 billion in cost reductions, expanded return to office mandate

    Jump

  • Has anyone actually decided KPIs for themselves? Every time I make one my boss basically says "Yeah, that's cool, but I think you should..."

  • What kind of mindset do you need to be succesful starting and continuing to use Linux.

    Jump

  • "I want to know why this is broken. How to fix it can come later."

  • TIL Kitty terminal can show a dock panel on Linux desktops!

    Jump

  • Or override the TERM variable in your ssh config. Setting it to an xterm value has been supported by any niche term I've used over the years without sacrificing any of the usual functions.

  • Why do you use the distro you use?

    Jump

  • Arch. Started using it in high school. Never had a reason to switch. Now I'm just regularly frustrated by other distros trying to make things easier by abstracting simple configurations behind layers of custom scripts.

  • ESP32 Powered Tuya Ivy smart flower pot monitors your plant’s inner feelings

    Jump

  • Was gifted one of these recently. The Tuya app sucks. It fails to determine the location so the weather and clock functions of this device are broken for me. The home assistant integration for Tuya doesn't support this device (HA actually thought it was a toothbrush at first). The supported plant list is short and not publicly available. No lan-only control, aside from the custom animations page. The Type-C charge port doesn't actually support any of the PD standards, it's just using the port for standard 5V 2A delivery making it incompatible with some power sources.

    That being said, it's kinda neat. Will report back on how well the plant's doing after a few weeks. Maybe community firmware can fix things up, but considering the target audience... not sure if/when that will happen.

  • App Image or AUR package

    Jump

  • AUR, when I can. I run my own binary package repo. App images are an interesting concept, but usually they are compiled against ancient versions of glibc for increased compatibility. Optimizations and CVE patches may or may not be applied, LD lookups are longer, etc.

  • Bigme unveils new color e-ink monitor with smooth refresh rate

    Jump

  • Yeah, that power metric can fluctuate wildly depending on how smart their display controller is. Throw VRR and / or event driven rendering into the mix and you get most of the benefits of both with the added benefit of limiting rendering bursts.

  • Tinker WriterDeck - Convert any laptop and most chromebooks into a writer deck.

    Jump

  • I'll keep saying it, this is called a Word Processor. They were cool when they were simple microcontrollers and LCD displays, not so much now.

  • If you have to pick only one Desktop Environment and use it till your computer breaks, what would you choose?

    Jump

  • Sway still primarily counts as a WM + Compositor, but considering it has keymaps, autostart, and libinput config mechanisms embedded in it, I would say it borders a desktop environment.

  • I'm an American software developer and the "broligarchs" don't speak for me - ratfactor

    Jump

  • One hell of a consolation prize

  • SWAY desktop

    Jump

  • The inhibit_idle specifier is cool, thanks for the pointer. This two liner can be replaced with:

     swayconfig
        
for_window [all] inhibit_idle fullscreen

  • muskrat's data eng expert's hard drive overheats while processing 60k rows

    Jump

  • Or it's a cheap external nvme chassis with a Samsung 980 Pro. Had to run that when I was copying files from one of my old machines and boy, it will absolutely overheat to the point of failure.

    Gave me quite the scare when I started getting read errors and then it dropped off the bus. It shutdown to protect itself but it certainly didn't seem like that at the time.

  • What are some light-hearted, feel-good, comforting games to play on the deck?

    Jump

  • That's certainly news to me. I suppose it just really needs the latest version. There was a noticeable improvement to stuttering and fps.

    That game is interesting though. Some things the community sees as bugs, like the audio glitches, have been claimed as an artistic choice.

    • Sable - but you'll want to use protontricks to install dxvk
    • Stonefly
    • Far - 1 & 2 are both good, but I still prefer the first one
    • Vane
    • Lightmatter

  • The tactical FPS 'Due Process' anti-cheat now supports Linux - plus it has a huge discount
