The good thing regarding Discover

Update: According to KDE developer Nate Graham, the root file operations feature has been reverted as it needs to be “re-done with an eye towards more technical correctness.” For now, this feature appears to only be available in the KDE neon Unstable distribution!

& OpenSUSE for quite some years now -though I don't know how (safely)-

But yakuake got a suitable monochrome tray icon -I was waiting for that- (by your beloved Bogdan)

I loved having this natively in my oS TW KDE. It was rather a shock once i left TW, went elsewhere, & found i no longer had it [natively].

When i read that yesterday i just sighed, sat back in my chair, & re-evaluated my life-choices.

pffffft... typical KDEan...

It updates your Kwin scripts, though not the best tool for Arch+ies admittedly. But it's getting better, so I track it

Why, thank you!

XeroLinux looks cool , with pamac and Vivaldi by default.

@npro Ah, it's DT. Before i watch, pls advise me -- is it guns-free?

Btw, 9+ hours later & neither herecura be nor eu Stable yet has the new Snappie. That's happened several times b4 too ofc, yet it always surprises me given other times he's so fast.

Oh ffs, what a fsckwit ... talk about alienating part of your potential userbase right from the start, sigh. Ugh.

npro

@guigirl watched some 60% of it I think you're safe though you don't have to for sure

yeah I stopped using herecura long time ago 'cause I wanted the updates instantly (plus I didn't want pacman always have to sync to another repo anymore).

guigirl

@npro OK so re your method, you've alluded to it many times before, but i've never really grasped it. Would you mind, please, spelling it out for me here, so i can see if i'd also like to change my method? Please type s l o w l y for me...

npro

@guigirl I'll show you a screenshot (prepare for white flash) of my easiest method -1 photo is 1000 words and who wants to type now*- , 'cause I use a couple in order to not forget the sed syntax for example . Nothing fancy with scripts, etc though, I'm also slack, plus I don't like "perfect 1-clicks".

*Also it helps that you are clever already, not my fault

P.S. I think my build directory is defined under /tmp already iirc. Not that you gain much, maybe 2-3 seconds max, again, iirc.
P.S2 oops that screenshot was supposed to show more, I'll reupload

I've just watched his vid. Hmmmm, interesting distro. I swooned & drooled at the Calamares package granularity, really fabbo, but tbh felt underwhelmed with the installed system. The theming ain't my taste, so i'd need to redo it anyway, thus losing much of the "point" of this distro. I do wish DT had looked at pacman.conf to see if it uses any non-Arch repos [which i assume it does, like Garuda & Arco]. Overall, despite its Dev's wankerism, we're better for having this spin than not, i think. Ta for posting about it.

npro

@guigirl I found its aesthetics much more pleasant that GcOS and Garuda, imo it strikes a nice middle-ground between them.

Also... is that KDE?
It's beautiful

guigirl

@npro Ta muchly AND bigly . ~~I shall study this later, bit busy now~~, but really appreciate your generosity!

Alright, so i lied [again] who ya gonna call? Ah, so you build this locally, i had not realised that before. What's the build time, & how "usable" is your pc for still doing other stuff during it? Also, you need to fetch the new checksum each time, etc.

Yeah, i can feel my natural laziness beginning to rise up again... heehee.

npro

@guigirl nah, that's nothing, I used to do that locally because of bugreports where I wanted to easily install older versions for comparison (and for trying to have access to hidden versions ), so all I had to do was altering the version numbers, then I just stuck to this mainly "gui" method (for the reason stated above ), while I do practice some other ones from time to time*.

There's no need to fetch checksum (while one could with a script, but only the sha256 iirc, so the PKGBUILD should be probably edited beforehand -and who wants that, we want speed afterall- so we skip it with --skipchecksums already! You are downloading the .rpm from the vivaldi server afterall, if it would be compromised it would have been compromised for everyone already

Build time is nothing, the bottleneck is only in what state the Vivaldi servers are /added: usually butchered at the very first moments of a fresh snapshot (downloading the .rpm) and you don't occupy any crazy CPU power it's just building it from the AUR as usual.

*One could use a yay alias for example with yay vivaldi-snapshot --mflags --skipchecksums --editmenu but this would be strictly terminal where one would be entering numbers and letters all the time.

guigirl

@npro I'm sorry, but i really am too dimwitted to grasp this. My eyes on your screenshot seem to be contradicting my understanding of your accompanying words.

used to do that locally

Huh, but you still are doing local building on your own pc afaict, coz you have your pkgbuild, & your alias, ie, you're running makepkg in Konsole, aren't you?

stuck to this mainly "gui" method

Huh, how is this a gui method? As above, aren't you building via Konsole? Things don't get much more !=gui than that!

it's just building it from the AUR

I just can't see how, based on your screenshot above, AUR is playing any role in your method.

As i said, i'm apparently just too dumb to understand your method. Your nice [but palpably undeserved] hidden compliment above, sadly, only makes me feel even more humiliated now.

npro

@guigirl ok ,ok you devious creature of the night, I know you want to drag me into explaining all the stuff because you know how good of a person I really am, but I wouldn't fall for that that easily

What if i take just a jump to the left, and then a step to the right? I shan't even mention what i might do with my hands, hips, and knees!

Ta anyway, i'll just keep waiting on herecura, it seems.

@npro Oh this is just ridiculous. All this time i've maintained my unswerving fealty to herecura, only to discover now how foolish i've been.

Looks like it's time to remove an entry from my pacman.conf.
