That’s an interesting way to spell proprietary

This can be automated by an app with Shizuku integration, but Shizuku unfortunately needs to be set up every time the device is rebooted.

I believe there’s an LSposed module that lets you enable or disable each direction individually

Then I doubt there’s a solution. If there is, it probably involves enabling a hidden setting from an adb shell

Is your phone rooted?

I’ve never had issues with TERM=xterm

Kitty if you have a GPU and run programs that have a lot of output (build scripts and emerge). It uses the GPU for better performance.

If it will be used by non-tech savvy people, why do you care about snap and IBM? Do the people care about that?

When you start getting super specific about which distro you want, I think you should start looking towards a DIY distro.

Why’s he oinking (confusedly)?

I wanted to use fio to benchmark my root drive. I had seen a tutorial saying that the file= parameter should point to the device file, so I pointed it at /dev/sda. As you might expect, the write test didn’t go so well.

Before installing Arch on a USB flash drive, I disabled ext4 journaling in order to reduce disk reads and writes, being fully aware of the implications (file corruption after unexpected power loss). I was confident that I would never have to pull the plug or the drive without issuing a normal shutdown first. Unfortunately, there was one possibility I hadn’t considered: sometimes, there’s that one service preventing your PC from turning off, and at that stage there’s no way to kill it (besides waiting for systemd to time out, but I was impatient).

So I pulled the plug. The system booted fine, but was missing some binaries. Unfortunately, I couldn’t use pacman to restore them because some of the files it relied on were also destroyed.

This was not the last time I went through this. Luckily I’ve learned my lesson by now

Before you can fix a bootloader, you first need to learn how to install and set up a bootloader. I think most people learn that part when they try Arch

Why do you advocate for keeping /home separate?

I personally don’t do it because the more partitions you have, the more often you need to fiddle around in GParted when one partition gets full. This is also why I use swap files instead of swap partitions

As far as I can tell, unless you distro-hop, separating /home doesn’t have any advantages. Even then, sharing one /home directory between multiple desktop environments can cause some problems

I agree with making and testing backups, though. My current strategy is to back everything up to a 4.2 TiB ZFS pool with daily snapshots on my LAN, and back up the most important data on that to the cloud
