how so? what is left after having the system daemon start at boot? this is a super common thing to do. If you wanted to go a step further you could even create a couple chroots or other immutable partitions to swap the bootloader to. This would be a great way to use the package manager and features of nix without the limitations. There is nothing proprietary about what nixos does.

The whole nature of arch is sort of a “roll your own distro” approach. It lets you take features from wherever and combine them. It’s perfect for anyone who finds themselves distro hopping.

Potatoes never go bad. They just start the process of turning into more potatoes.

Can you please edit Stalin’s wikipedia page? I’m sure it could benefit from the input of someone with your level of expertise. Particularly the areas around his vindictive personality, executions, and torture.

There are hundreds of cited sources in there, those will also need to be updated. Thanks!

https://github.com/johang/btfs btfs lets you straight up mount a torrent as a directory and stream it. Most torrent clients also have an option to download parts in order so you can stream.

I think that installing new versions often means that particular services need to be restarted. Rather than implement logic to restart relevant services, it probably just says “fuck it, reboot”.

you should only need to reboot when updating the kernel. Why are you rebooting? Is it because the system is unresponsive?

CPU brand (as in AMD/Intel) makes little if any difference in linux, stark contrast to Nvidia/AMD GPU. There was a period of time where some of the intel CPU “efficiency cores” were not properly scheduled in the kernel but I think that’s a lot better now as long as you use a relatively new kernel. There are different power/frequency management flags you can pass to the boot params based on intel/amd but that probably makes more of a difference if you’re on battery: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Ryzen

I think there used to be some limitation in using resizeable BAR with an intel CPU and AMD GPU, but that hasn’t been an issue for a while.

I have a 5950x with a 6900xt in my linux box and have had no complaints.

The 60s were a pivotal time for politics. Prior to that many democrat ideologies were modern day republican and vice versa. https://www.studentsofhistory.com/ideologies-flip-Democratic-Republican-parties

Dont want anyone getting confused here. These were effectively modern day republicans doing this.

gdm works pretty well with selecting and jumping to all kinds of different DEs. It shouldn’t really be a problem. The only thing I might watch out for is KDE/gnome for example can install a TON of dependencies that you might not necessarily want in both. You can wind up with a lot of duplicate programs. and your home directory will be full of all kinds of config files.

But you can run hyprland, i3, xfce, awesome, etc alongside each other without too much hassle.

I have had the same arch linux install for the past 13 years and have been on a ton of different DEs in that time including times when I switched back and forth between a few concurrently installed. It never caused any issues for me other than trying to clean up all the K programs that had been installed, and cleaning up my home dir.

alacritty

I do this pretty much everywhere, but mainly for 2 reasons:

• If I close the account and never want to hear from them again, filter out the alias
• If I receive junk mail to that address, I know where it was leaked from

I do this by a catch-all on my own personal domain, so anything@mydomain.com will get sent to my inbox. I generate random strings/words/names for every email.

I have this controller and bluetooth mode works just fine for me on my PC and steam deck, those do run linux but the protocol is the same in windows. I don’t see why it wouldn’t work.

Microsoft? Fix bugs? Are we thinking of the same microsoft? Best they can do is integrate a weather app nobody asked for. And install candy crush without your consent.

Totally accurate but I wouldn’t have it any other way. I love to tinker with tech.

Wayland first, but have both installed so you can fall back to X11 if you need to. If you do have to go back check wayland again after every few updates. X is dying a long-needed death. It started off has a hack decades ago and has just been held together with duct tape ever since. There are some not so great things in wayland with some apps, sometimes issues with context menus or screen recording for example, but they’re getting fixed over time.

I do kind of miss x forwarding over SSH. It was really convenient, there might be something for wayland but I haven’t looked for a while.

have you… seen the state of IT and technology in general in the government? I mean actually that explains a lot.

not entirely. It makes it easy to filter out the kind of applicants that would put that on their resume. Very useful for hiring managers. Saves lots of time.

These textbooks are trash and written by morons. When I was in college one of the required books said very clearly that sleep and hibernate are exactly the same thing. It said that both suspended to RAM and hibernate was just some lower power version of sleep. It was even a question on an exam that I got wrong for some reason. I argued with the professor about it and proved to him thats not the case by taking one of the lab computers, hibernating it, physically taking the ram out and swapping it with another computer and resuming into the same state on power on. He said “Well thats what it says in the textbook so I have to mark it wrong”

It really highlights that there are probably a lot of other inaccuracies that I didn’t notice. This is the standard of education nowadays.
