I don’t really understand either. Where are the Gentoo and LFS elitists? It seams like there should be more of those than arch elitests. Maybe it’s just because more people use arch.

I swear meta is just built different in terms on spying on people compared to everyone else. It’s like they have a team of ex non ethical elite hackers to find security vulnerabilities in everything and exploit everything as much as possible.

Thanks for telling me about that. I will now use that for any ancient laptop restorations.

That’s great to hear another linux success story!

Just a handy tip if you haven’t already your laptop might sound like it’s about to take off because it hasn’t been cleaned in a while. Just search up a tutorial on YouTube for your laptop and be amazed at how much dust you will find clogging up your fan.

Also yeah that terminal thing is just arch and hyprland you really through yourself in the deep end there (I personally havnt used arch before). Linux mint on the other hand is super easy to use and the terminal is only there if you chose to use it.

I am definitely a fan. A lot of people say that flatpaks are bad because of sandboxing but I haven’t seemed to have any issues with it.

Although I do try to use dnf when a dnf package is available (I use fedora)

Installing flatpaks via the terminal is so much faster for some reason, so I always do it that way.

Yes it is true. Flatpak is for gui apps only, at least as far as I know.

I am just using oneui but I’m not even signed into a google account surely Gemini won’t be after me?

Whats the purpose of gentoo over arch and when do you draw the line of diminishing returns? It sounds like gentoo is a lot harder for not much more reward.

I agree as well it’s probably best to assume services that have access to your data in there database do indeed sell your data.

Great post! I’ll be sharing this. You should add “I need this vehicle for when I might need to carry a boat or 7 passengers once the future”

Also I will say I do enjoy driving but I especially enjoy driving around well designed narrow streets with speed humps and roundabouts. Driving on stroads is just depressing and boring.

And when they didn’t carry a flag “they weren’t even carrying a flag and waving it above there head! they where basically asking to be hit.”

Great video. Made me reconsider using mergerfs and snapraid instead of zfs. invidious link.

What did social democracy do to you?

Thanks for the help. It seams like plasma big screen is back in development and is getting regular pull requests on it’s git repo. I guess we can both just wait for it to have a stable release.

Seems cool, but I don’t really want something unstable considering that other non technical people rely on it.

Android tv is google. If there was a custom rom version of android tv I would be interested though.

It doesn’t require a github repo, you can use any personal git repository. I personally have set it up with a selfhosted gitea instance. I also assume you could setup a git repo on the device.

I might try that as I wait for plasma big screen to be fully ready.

If you want you can setup automatic updates in kde settings. They will always stay out of your way and download in the background. They will install if you chose to click “update and shutdown” next time you shutdown or restart your computer.
