SystemD isnt exactly a program but more of a group of projects, the only “core” SystemD software on most distros is the init system… Which you can run completely without SystemD’s UserDB system (the part being talked about in the post).

Basically this means you as a user dont have to do anything but switch away from projects that depend on SystemD’s UserDB (like Gnome), not SystemD as a whole

However if you do want to move away from SystemD as a whole you can replace your init system with another one, gentoo’s wiki is a good starting point for learning a bit more: wiki. Personally I love using openrc but of you have no need to touch init files… Dont switch

At least in my experiance I’ve been dragged because “X told you their pronouns, using they means your trying to invalidate them” I’ve talked to X like 3 times and do not plan on being more then acquaintances/coworkers. Somedays I just want to say, “I wont remeber your pronouns because I don’t care about you, not because I’m transphobic” but that would just create a lot of drama I would care even less about

This has also been a really controversial take of mine. But I have an even more controversial opinion that if I’m not well aquanted or friends with you, using they/them to refer to you is not offensive. I can barely remember peoples names much less your specific pronouns

Fun fact this is actually a well known proven thing! Hide the pain harold.jxl

Study apon study has found that by reducing work, giving people their basic needs, and letting us follow our passions makes us exponentially more productive and happier. But that would only benifit the commoners since the rich/powerful already have all that, and why would the people at the top help when they get off on the feeling of power

For me I can largely minimize this by working full time and having a time consuming hobby. Recently I’ve opened up to my roomate and we’ve gotten really close, but when I feel like I’m becoming obsessive I try to sidetrack myself on working on 3d print models or coding or some long story based game. It’s not a perfect solution (definitely hard to peel myself off of them sometimes if I’m already around them) but I’ve at least gotten to “not annoying enough to cut off” levels lol

Containers are ment to be used with docker networks making it a non-issue, most of the time you want your services to forward 80/443 since thats the default port your reverse proxy is going to call

This is also my goal! …since 2020.

I love vim/nvim but I’ve gotten used to using VIM more as a text editor then an IDE. Writing a script? Taking notes? Maybe even a small program? VIM all the way. Working on a big project that needs an LSP? Either spend the next 20 hours fucking with your VIM config and 20 plugins to get basic functionality… Or just open VSCode and install one plugin

Heres to hoping since NVIM 0.11 with their LSP overhaul I can finnally make the full switch

As much as I glaze RISC-V, its an embedded architecture firstmost. RISC-V gets a more powerful SOC released now and then but theres not massive adoption for general computing like there is for ARM, leading back into the problem of “Why go with RISC-V when ARM is far more mature?”. And almost no company is building new assembly lines when 99% of their customers dont give a shit about computing freedom

As far as I know everyone making x86 CPUs have no intrest in the phone space :(. While x86 CPUs can be optimized to near ARM efficiency, it just doesn’t make sense for manufacturers to do so when ARM exists and is fully mature as a phone platform. There are tons of x86 tablets, but that’s because they simply share their laptop counterparts CPU instead of a mega optimized brand new cpu

This is perfect middle step, thank you!

Also using fedora kde :D

I’ve just never encountered a problem with focus stealing or alt-tab issues and leave my drawing tablet/second display plugged in. My friend who runs side by side monitors also has no problems on their arch kde setup. Might just be a weird hardware+application combination problem for some

Edit: try digging in the kde focus settings, I think theres an option to tune focus steeling

Might just br a gnome issue and not a wayland one, KDE and wlroots based compositors do much better at fullscreening and alt-tabbing games then x11 ever did for me. Esspecially on my desktop that has a second monitor

Defaults are good for me but I like mounting my secondary drive to ~/Storage with subfolders media, projects, games

Sorry I was referring to End4’s EWW/AGS shells not the frameworks themselves

Sorry for the late response

End4 is the first one that comes to mind since the dev has made a shell in most big widget framworks at this point. Great project to take inspo and some code from but AGS/EWW shells are archived

Hyprpanel is still being maintained and probably the best base to chose if your going with AGS

Otherwise check r/unixporn and sort top with the keyword “AGS” or “EWW” and your find a couple more

Ive seen some cool big projects made with AGS/Astal and EWW but their both gtk based, and gtk has been the defacto for years in making your own enviorment. Quickshell is intresting because its QT based instead, and since the ricing community likes new or different things were all trying out quickshell

I mean we have this as a real thing with “speed traps” where the limit just drops 10mph for zero reason for half a mile so cops can loiter and give tickets

But I feel as though speeds are already too high for the dumbfucks in giant SUVs who got their license 40 years ago and have lost every braincell related to safe driving due to a crippling alchohol addiction. I propose a “fast lane v2 electric boogaloo” on highways or long stretches thats only available once you take a special, much harder driving test that needs to be renewed every 6 months or so set at 120mph(extream flats) and can slow to 60mph(extremely weavy mountainside turns)

I am honored to be friends with THE shoofly :D

The lack of talk about shoofly pie really saddens me since its the best pie

Clearly you’ve never had shoofly pie
