Use Vivarium instead, it works and it is very featured !

Why doesn't the Linux subreddit leave Reddit already? in c/[email protected]

[–] Drito 3 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

Reddit is unified, Lemmy has a small layer of complexity on top and "sh.itjust.works" is a weird name, maybe the Lemmy system drives to such complicated names. Its not a big deal but I add that to the other causes.

Is KDE actually good or it is overrated? Or I was just unlucky because of prebuilt distros? in c/[email protected]

Look at the reddit called "unixporn" and search for Xfce. You ll see what's possible with Xfce. For me the KDE crashes are a dealbreaker. My Xfce setup is so simplified, that nothing can be ugly. I use Bspwm for the windows and stripped down Xfce panel (dont touch third party status bars, such as polybar, its waste of time if you already have Xfce). No menu such as Whisker menu, but Rofi instead. I got Xfce stability without the old looking.

Why do you use the distro you use? in c/[email protected]

[–] Drito 1 points 3 weeks ago

After tried Alpine, NixOS, Archlinux...finally Im on MX linux because this is a no brain distro and I'm tired to search how to make things to work.

If you have to pick only one Desktop Environment and use it till your computer breaks, what would you choose? in c/[email protected]

[–] Drito 7 points 1 month ago (3 children)

There is nothing better than Xfce, if you dont like the desktop, at least Xfce allows you to customize. KDE seems interesting, but the last time i tried it, 10 years ago more or less, it was a bit buggy.

I prefer a glibc replacement.

Have you tried Mac OS ? It is probably more polished than distros and less enshittified than Windows.

Ubuntu Will Replace GNU Core Utilities With Rust in c/[email protected]

[–] Drito 1 points 1 month ago

IMHO distros share the same apps. The defaults can differ, the implementations too but the user can install apps that are on other distros.

Is it safe to use a ghost Arch derivative ? (self.linux)

Hello, Archlabs is gone . I use this distro so I wonder If I can still update it safely ?

My /etc/pacman.conf

#[testing]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[core]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[extra]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

#[community-testing]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[community]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

# The multilib repositories are enabled by default in ArchLabs.
# If you don't run 32 bit applications you may comment them out

#[multilib-testing]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[multilib]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

# [archlabs-testing]
# Server =  https://pub-7d84e047b852442a86fd6d7feb1ff2cd.r2.dev/$repo/$arch
# Server =  https://github.com/ArchLabs/$repo/raw/master/$arch
# Server =  https://bitbucket.org/archlabslinux/$repo/raw/master/$arch

[archlabs]
Server = https://pub-7d84e047b852442a86fd6d7feb1ff2cd.r2.dev/$repo/$arch
Server = https://bitbucket.org/archlabslinux/$repo/raw/master/$arch
Server = https://github.com/ArchLabs/$repo/raw/master/$arch
Server = https://sourceforge.net/projects/archlabs-repo/files/$repo/$arch

If it is unsafe how I can turn this into a normal arch ?
