@ybjrepnfr I think they stole this setting from Windows.

@hlehyaric i'm not sure you're allowed to say that word here in this thread...

goodness me @npro , suddenly 11 posts edited in this thread, including several complete deletions! what happened / prompted this astonishing history-rewrite? do we now rename you as winston smith?

@ybjrepnfr How do you know it's not Julia?

just thinking aloud here atm, have not yet adequately investigated to check viability.

kaos is now ten years old. over the years i've tested it several times in various virtual machines [which, learning from older posts in this thread from departed former long-gone ex people, can be conveniently referred to as vms, so i shall borrow that habit; oh yes, it seems that square rather than curved parentheses are also more convenient, needing one keypress less, so i might also borrow that habit too; i surely hope that departed person does not mind too much], but atm i've no remaining kaos vms. given flathub / flatpak has really captured the zeitgeist regarding containerised packaging, and given kaos does not use the aur but instead its own imo substandard equivalent, for non-kaos-repo packages, i wonder if kaos + flathub might make an interesting comparatively versatile system? i suspect another vm experiment might be in the wind... otoh, maybe it's not even possible to use flathub in kaos?

ofc, given vivaldi is not in the kaos repos, nor yet has flatpaks, it might be necessary to still use their !=aur.

@ybjrepnfr hi, long overdue cleanup, as it was beyond stupid talking to myself without the references and quotes.

ybjrepnfr

@npro oh.

i hope the despicable person/s who caused that problem to arise is/are feeling appropriately shamed & guilty.

shirley.

@ybjrepnfr yeah don't know about that, it is a long story. Fortunately you 've joined at a good time where everything is good.

ybjrepnfr

@npro ...especially forum db reliability & uptime.

@ybjrepnfr V forum never lets you down.

well it could theoretically as they have less bloat by excluding 32-bit libraries and GTK, and afterall... it's Linux, anything can work given time and dedication. But I don't see the point as containerized solutions are bloat by definition imo. All these attempts are basically Frankensteiny.

But as this used to be an Arch-related thread, and you are already reading a biased opinion because of that, you could make a new thread about it to hear others' opinions.

ybjrepnfr

@npro still finding my way here. so many new practices and conventions to learn.

...ponders to self how close to end-of-life now this meme might be...

notice: systemctl soft-reboot of systemd 254 (landed on Arch yesterday) is pretty cool.
