I thought about this, but doesn’t this make problems when working with other git repos in subfolders of your home directory?

git.

In all honesty, I’d just write a bash script, potentially reading from a file listing all the dotfiles you want to back up, copy them into some directory and pushing to a git repo. Run that script on a systemd timer (or manually) and write another script deploying them into the correct locations

This is waybar not awesome no? Afaik awesome does not ship its own bar. So I’d look through waybar documentation or a waybar config file in the awesome examples. Also this is probably just naming a desktop with a unicode icon so that it shows the icon in waybar

The short answer, as a ton of people already said in the comments of the video, is “hell no” it is not and it is most likely also not worth it. Back when the video came out I tested it (with unplugged network) on my system and the performance gain was ~1% which I’d consider well within the margin of error

Hyprland is decent, it’s one of the better Wayland window managers, that being said it’s still in beta and not complete. Also be aware, it’s a window manager, not a desktop environment. It won’t do much besides well managing windows, taskbar, start menu, notification demon,… have to all be installed and setup by you and the config is done in text files, not some gui.

Also the community is rather toxic, I’ve made similar experiences to this in the past when trying it out.

Unless you mess around with firewall commands/settings you don’t understand firewalld should be sufficient.

That being said you might have to allow certain services at some point (openvpn) for example

Alt/Ctrl+___ are usually used by applications and shortcuts containing Super+___ are usually “reserved” (it’s no rule or anything but basically no application uses Super) for the DE. That’s why Super is probably the best mod key for shortcuts. You can ofc use Alt+___ as well, in that case your DE/WM will just take preference over the application and the shortcut will be handled by the DE/WM instead of the application

Factorio.

The factory must grow!

If you really want the deep dive, look into LFS (Linux from scratch), besides that I’ve always been the learning by doing kind of guy. Got a problem? Search a solution and read up on the intricacies of the problem

Yup that’s probably what I meant. In that case idk. It’s prbly still possible, but you might have to live reload the kernel, which is possible, but I guess there’s a reason why basically no distro uses this feature

I’ve thought about trying that with my 7900xt, but never bothered actually doing it since everything I play runs on Linux. However I saw some posts about a project called something along the lines of pcie-passthrough-manager, that would be my starting point when trying that

Im running a 7000 card on Arch since January (7900xt) without issues. For the first 1-2 months I had to install the git version of the drivers from a separate repo, but it still worked like a charm, a thousand times better than Nvidia (not only performance wise)

From what I recall veracrypt is basically the only option, but I’ve never bothered setting it up myself, i just use luks on everything these days, but you won’t be able to use that with windows, though it might be possible using WSL, but I don’t know

My dad also made the switch to mint cinnamon about 3 years ago and I only had to fix things once for him (which was something in partitioning/fstab he or the installer messed up), he has successfully updated and maintained the system for 3 major releases yet and is even happier with Linux on his home laptop than with windows on his work laptop

Edit: he’s not really tech savvy or something, he’s a teacher by profession

Lightweight DEs are cool and such, but if that’s the thing you’re saving on a lightweight WM (like xmonad, DWM or i3) will probably be the best bet

Not really my kind of work, but I have played around with an ultimaker 3d printer I got gifted a while ago, Cura works perfectly fine, fusion does not, I have used freecad on Linux, but even for a beginner like me it was no comparison to fusion

This or add the grubx64.efi file to the trusted secure boot files

But around the same time mozilla shortened the support cycles for their lts releases

I might look into getting a refurbished ThinkPad or something before buying new hardware for this laptop, you’ll probably get a lot more performance out of this than upgrading that old laptop

There’s a simple reason why Mozilla/canonical does this and that is security fixes. Due to the difference in support cycles of Firefox and Ubuntu LTS versions fixes would have to be manually backported to the system Firefox version and newer versions won’t run due to library dependencies. Snap solves all of that.

Don’t get me wrong though, snap is still terrible, but other than flatpak or doing the work of backporting it’s the only option to get security fixes to Ubuntu
