@npro said in Arching Vivaldians.:
I meant installing software via a software manager, the way a typical Mint user is used to, which Endeavour does not offer as it places itself as "a terminal-centric distro" in the GNU/Linux universe.
Yep. I did notice that "difference".
Might be daunting, but I'd like to check the "Live" version to see how it works before running away. -

I know you mentioned once before of a possible return to Arch from MJ, but iirc that was months ago, so i presumed you dropped the idea. How exciting if you are really gonna do it,
yay trizenparu!yeah I miss a clean Arch install from scratch, the only thing that holds me from it is the dosh needed for a new laptop I have in mind
my abilities, which remain shallow & narrow. I'd never hold a candle against those Archers with Actual Proper knowledge & skill, of which you're one.
That's not true, your knowledge is already great and more importantly on a wide spectrum, a thing most Nixers would dream of. For example you know why you can appreciate Arch's package management more because you 've used all the others managers first hand, other Nixers just read about it, which is not the same
. Besides, you know as an engineer that it is more important to know where to search for something than knowing it
. I may know a thing or two more because I have used Linux a little more in the past (S.u.S.E, Red Hat before trying Arch) but I'm a lazy
, for example i haven't experimented much with Wayland, btrfs, encryption, dual boots, in those domains (and others I assume) you are clearly better as a power (+adventurous) user and clearly of better service to newcomers
(phew with that said I think I'll be definitely safer from @TbGbe bugging me)
-
@npro Oh no! Nobody is going to be safe!
However, my plans have been delayed (workmen in my place). So, for now, you may both relax

Timeshift has been fabulous in all my ext4 systems post-TW
I tried that once... then I realized I don't really need it
. If something (ever) happens I can
chroot
from another environment and continue from there. But ok, I guess I would recommend it to newbies too.@guigirl said in Arching Vivaldians.:

Good news for those that use newer kernels, Linux 5.15 Adds New Syscall To More Quickly Free Memory Of Dying Processes

my pkg count is a bit anorexic
Ever thought installing gnome? You get plenty & instantly, in my case:
[npro@vu ~]$ pacman -Sp gnome gnome-extra | wc -l 276

ahahaha
I once (on a different forum) read about someone who had deleted his 'nobody' user. When he logged in the next time, he was greeted with a message: "You don't exist. Go away!"
nobody
ever saw them again... -

@guigirl My god... they are trying so hard to reach the bottom of the barrel, but there is no bottom for them
Migrating the single most critical pieces of software on an Ubuntu install to a package format regularly criticised as slow and buggy is a brave move.
So hey: kudos for that.

@npro buntu & snaps -- two of the most yukky Linuxy things for this little black duck.
https://forum.vivaldi.net/post/431759
btw... that thread needs an update
I kinda giggle, though. You know, of course [we all do], the plethora of historical & later posts in the V forum by some grumblers that their V, replete with their 666 open tabs, takes 7 picoseconds longer than they think is right, to launch. Can you imagine what 15 seconds will feel like?
yeah I was thinking exactly the same, also about FF's future, another great move by Mozilla

I also think that pointieststick would have a serious contender if you'd create that Vivaldi blog with that title

effects: Remove Desktop Cube effect
effects: Remove Desktop Cube Animation effect
With the ongoing scene redesign, it needs to be rewritten. However, given that it is not used widely based on support information from various bug reports and our available man power is sparse, the most reasonable thing is to drop the effect, unfortunately.

http://commits.kde.org/kwin/47ef0b5a3cfdad3fa895748ff87a52a889351b32they 're also removing cover switch and flipswitch though both can't be considered iconic and unique like the cube was for more than 20 years!

infected Plasma Devs with evil gnomejuice
unfortunately yes that's what it is. "given that it is not used widely" is the first sign of corruption.

@guigirl said in Arching Vivaldians.:
In my early Nix years i really disliked C, intensely [albeit not as much as GNOME, ha], but over time i slowly came to realise that i was just being a moron
. If Plasma vaporised from existence tomorrow, it'd be a fairly easy proposition for C to become my new home... but ofc, given we're still so lucky to have our Plasma, everything else just pales.
well I guess I'm still a moron then
, because no matter how hard I've tried liking it (with Mint), it felt still too stiff and oppressive compared to Plasma. Additionally... oh those on/off switches !!! I hate mobile phone UIs in desktop PCs
Besides, I think I read few months ago that it was pretty unmaintaned, reaching "abandonware status",to the point of Debian thinking about kicking it from its repo for that reasonMaybe they were shaken by that and gave it the proper attention now, who knows, I certainly don't...
Now that I've searched a bit about the last one I came across this which I remember having read it, it's quite hilarious as wellDebian's Cinnamon desktop maintainer quits because he thinks KDE is better now
I think I'm not prepared though for the scenario that KDE would dissapear from the map... I 'd say I would go down the xfce road i guess? Or maybe ditch the whole thing and go full tiling with awesome or i3 (the only ones that I've played around with) -
has anyone else of the Arching Vivaldians performance issues with the latest vivaldi release?
