Yeah it’s alright. I’ve been using Tumbleweed on my Desktop PC for the last few months and I gotta say it’s mid. They do hard drive unlocking in Grub instead of in the initfs which means that only LUKS 1 and with that only the not-so-secure PDKDF is supported, instead of argon2id which is the modern KDF you want to use. This is a small and annoying oversight in the distros security which is why I will not be using it in the future
I’m not an anti-systemd extremist. I use Void because it is a simple distro that doesn’t break as often as Arch does, while also being very up-to-date.
I do have some things I dislike about systemd though which is why I will continue avoiding it in the future.
Also using a Distro without Systemd is not really that hard
Depends on if you want to work with existing code. LLMs tend to be good at generating small code snippets but not good at understanding / finding errors in existing code
I disagree. Have you ever updated your Android or Iphone to a newer version of the OS? Did it seem complex there? I’d say no and on Linux Desktop it’s not different.
Void Linux is S tier
I’m hoping for COSMIC to come out. It looks so promising and the fact that they implemented the panels using wlr-layer-shell is so great. I think more desktop environments should do this for interoperability
This is a problem. Computers got faster over time and one would assume apps would also open faster. But no, developers that don’t care about their application’s performance (or companies, most of the time it’s not the developer’s fault) cause us to wait longer. Microsoft recently tweeted that they managed to get Microsoft Teams startup time down to 9 seconds from 18. I mean what the fuck.
Yes. Thats a fuckton for a code editor. I also have an operating system that needs ram too. And if I open a browser it’s over
I know. I also use VSCode. However I just hate how much ram it uses. I had a Laptop with 4Gb of ram and I could not open VsCode on that thing when I had literally anything else open because the system would freeze.
Just because VsCode uses Electron doesn’t mean that Electron is not bad
There’s no such thing as a efficient electron app. First electron apps have 80MB of overhead since electron needs to bundle a whole ass browser. Also in runtime this requires 120MB of ram.
If you really want to use webviews to make an app use Tauri.
Yes but it’s not primarily a video editing app. Also Blender is kinda hard to learn and doing so just for video editing would be overkill
Flatpak is good for chat apps and proprietary apps which you don’t want to have full access to your system
Me here playing VR games on Linux: wut?
So? NetworkManager is also a deamon. Still it is a manager
Kinda weird to call it a Bluetooth client. The only Bluetooth clients would be the devices and even that is not entirely correct since Bluetooth doesn’t follow a client/server model. I would rather call it a Bluetooth manager
Oh so what you’re trying to say is that, because the license they chose is not on this list, it’s not open source. Stupid take IMO but you do you
It is not free software but it is open source. Stop gatekeeping the term. I can look at the code and modify it to my hearts content. I can also watch as the project is being developed. That means it’s open source. It would be free software if you where also allowed to redistribute it but I can fully see why they do not want that
The public library in my city uses OpenSuse
You can just take out the sd card while reinstalling
Usually Chad VoidLinux because it avoids the Unix-philosphy ignoring piece of garbage systemD but now I’m trying NixOS
