It says GNU/Linux but also says “and others” which could mean anything. eg doesnt specify if something like Alpine would be affected—is that “and others”?
In any case, I’ll wait 2 weeks and find out.

OP is installing the OSes on separate disks. The common disk is for user data, not for the OS.
Thanks, just checked it out and this seems good for my purposes.

That’s a shame. I just want to say that this issue is definitely not universal as I use it for navigation while driving and it works very well for me, and I’ve heard the same from others too. I’m not sure why it isn’t working as well for you.
I never claimed I was trying to “sway over newbies”? Do what you want, this is just my personal preference.
Artix repos > Arch repos > existing AUR package > create my own AUR package
No need to use any of these flatpak/appimage/snaps when I can just make a package for my distro. Most software is not difficult to package.
Well with short form videos your feed could be something more like a Twitter feed where you scroll through content from the accounts you follow instead of a grid of recommended videos where you click on one that sparks your interest. It is a different experience. Just like you could have a blog where every post is under 140 characters but why do that when you could just use Twitter. (disclaimer I do not claim to understand what has happened with X/Twitter now just assume I’m talking about old Twitter lol)
The touchbar appears to just be a very small touchscreen monitor. I’ve seen people use it to display bars on Linux. Not sure how much you have to fuck around with things to get it to work though
Snake case. I find it the easiest to read.
Well it’s now a reality: https://monogr.ph/66add1680f119badfa65686f/
Thunderbird shows it for a at every startup
Honestly didn’t realise till you pointed that out. I’m so used to seeing it that it doesn’t register to me what it’s saying anymore. Probably for the best that KDE only does it once a year; if it were daily I’m sure it wouldn’t even register to people that it’s asking for donations.
Do you just need to write markdown? Plenty of text editors have a vim mode. Not sure if there’s any lightweight ones that do the markdown preview alongside a vim mode; I know IntelliJ-based IDEs have a vim mode and can preview markdown, but that’s not exactly a lightweight solution, and only the community edition is open source.
But also what exactly is it you’re looking for that Vim can’t do? I use Vim for writing pretty much everything. I use Vim for markdown and it works fine. Markdown is already pretty readable as a text file so I don’t feel the need for a previewer or anything like a rich text editor (but also there are plenty of markdown editors out there if you just want to edit markdown in a RTE).
Oh shit nice. Finally, the free as in speech beer
Youtube doesn’t seem to inhibit idle for me for some reason, so my screen would always turn off with swayidle while watching youtube videos. So I made my lockscreen script (which is called by swayidle)
if [ "$(playerctl status)" = "Playing" ]; then
exit 0
else
exec "/path/to/lockscreen/script"
fi
(lockscreen script was just swaylock called with a bunch of arguments)
Not super crazy compared to some of the things people are saying in the comments, but also definitely not how you’re meant to handle idle inhibition when media is playing lol
I think your question is answered by the thread you linked. Is there something in particular you don’t understand?
GNU/the FSF says that GrapheneOS does not qualify as free software (which is true, it’s not completely FLOSS as per the FSF’s definition—the linked GNU article classifies plenty of popular Linux distros we consider to be FOSS as non-free, btw, they’re not singling out Graphene), and GrapheneOS is saying they don’t want to fit the FSF’s definition of free software because it would mean a lack of security (which is also true; they need proprietary firmware updates from Google). The FSF has a strict definition of free software which a lot of software does not meet, and usually an entire operating system would only meet the FSF’s definition out of a deliberate, conscious, ideological decision to exclude all non-free software. In their article they even list Debian as a distro which no longer meets their standards, despite Debian being known for their strict policy around only including FOSS in their repos.
This is an instance of two different entities (GNU and GrapheneOS) having fundamentally different goals (one values a strict definition of free software at all costs, one values security at all costs). You are more than welcome to do things GNU’s way if you don’t like GrapheneOS’s way, or vice versa.
If you mean what made me uninstall Windows, it was actually just not being able to do anything I wanted to do on Windows. I was already using WSL for most basic things and tried to set Windows up to be as similar to a Linux distro as possible eg only installing things with a command line package manager and looking into trying to get it to behave like a tiling window manager.
The biggest things were not being able to use some of my preferred software, e.g. my preferred PDF reader Zathura, and just having no clue what any of the commands were whenever I had to use PowerShell or CMD. I only really knew how Unix-like systems worked and was frustrated with my lack of familiarity with Windows and how their OS works.
The only reason why I kept a Windows partition was for gaming, but at this point Proton is so good there’s really no need for a Windows partition. And I rarely play video games these days anyway.
If you mean why I started using Linux, no reason, I’ve just always used it from a young age.
oh noooooo not the copyright infringement!
I think it’s a really cool project and I can tell the amount of love the devs put into it. Far from daily drive-able—a lot of websites don’t display properly for me, and I find their ports system to be a bit of an awkward way to install software. But I love the aesthetics and the idea behind it. I look forward to seeing them develop it more.
I like rofi because of how many different modes people have made for it, e.g. rofi-calc, and the customisability is great too. Unfortunately it can be slow to start, but if speed is of utmost importance to you and you’re on Wayland, you might want to look into tofi
