More thoughts on #CachyOS...

• btrfs has some noticeable hesitancy at times, even on a fairly fast (8th gen i5) machine
• if you're (understandably) avoiding the AUR, the proper pacman archives feel a bit slim at times:

rld@prometheus:~$ pacman -Ss |grep "^[^ ]" |cut -f1 -d' ' |cut -f2 -d/ |sort -u |wc -l
16057

-- compare with #Debian (actually RasPiOS, in this case) --

$ for x in {a..z}; do apt-cache search $x; done |cut -f1 -d' ' |sort -u |wc -l
74416

(Not sure if that's accurate, but #DistroWatch says Debian has over 50,000, and Wikipedia says almost 70,000)

• I've had to come up with a couple bespoke "daemons," one to refresh the xrdb every 10 seconds (NO idea why xrdb forgets everything so often on this box), and one to refresh the keyboard brightness (I use symlinks in my home directory for this) every two seconds, so that it retains the setting after resuming from sleep.

UID          PID    PPID  C STIME TTY          TIME CMD
rld         8035       1  0 May11 ?        00:00:00 sh -c while xrdb < ~/.Xdefaults; do sleep 10; done
rld        25572       1  0 04:19 ?        00:00:01 sh -c while grep -om1 [0-9] .kbd_backlight |tr -dc 0-9 > ~/.kbd_backlight-sys; do sleep 2; done

rld@prometheus:~$ file .kbd*

Just FYI, I've now updated the script (as of yesterday) to use the longer (~474 items) list from @distrowatch, rather than just the top 100 ;)

Kann ich bestätigen, was kürzlich bei #distrowatch ("poor experience") berichtet wurde. Versuchte #d77void #mangowm edition zu installieren, aber der calamares Installer stieg mit Fehlermeldung aus.

A wee gift for my friends at @tuxjam :

DistroWatch Weekly Review - Manjaro Linux 26.0

https://feddit.online/c/linux/p/1425885/distrowatch-weekly-review-manjaro-linux-26-0

AerynOS has made it into the @distrowatch Top 40 for the default 6 month average.

We were added less than a year ago and have gradually been rising up the ranks.

For an alpha distro, it's impressive as it shows there is pent up interest in our project and what we are trying to achieve!

Nice to see TROMjaro on the front page of DistroWatch :)

Je repensais à DistroWatch après 18 mois d'absence. Mon cerveau : "Ah oui, ce site !" Mon cœur : "Euh, on s'en fout non ?" 🤔
Bref, voici un post pour une redécouverte... que je n'aurais jamais dû faire 🤷‍♂️ Merci pour le temps perdu. Je retourne à mes vraies passions !
C'est quoi le vrai site indispensable (pas inutile) de la tech, selon vous ? Balancez tout ! 👇

What is a Linux distribution?

Good question.

FreeBSD – up to position 26 (seen in this Linux Renaissance video) is:

― a distro
― a talking point
― a gift.

How to choose the perfect #Linux #Distro for you

This guide may be a bit different from what you know. Linux offers a ton of choice, and there are some factors you might want to think of, rather than using #DistroWatch or #DistroChooser for a half-baked recommendation.

Dont hesitate to try them out! But for a longer investment, make a good decision!

@sam @owlcode #3 rank on DistroWatch last 12 months. I get that it's all subjective. I can't understand why Mint is recommended so often, not that it matters what I think. Maybe MX is just a good fit for me. vive la difference,
#DistroWatch #mxlinux

The PopOS beta is fine; doesn’t really hold my interest to keep it.

After hunting around on #DistroWatch I came across #MacaroniOS. Just by name alone it peaked my interest; plus it looks to be #Gentoo/#Funtoo based

stimmt meine beobachtung auf den #datenspuren, dass zeitgenössische #catgirls nicht mehr auf arch betriebsystemen laufen sondern auf #NixOS?

weil die Nix-identität am sichtbarsten nach außen getragen wird... ^-^

After years of trying to get TROMjaro on DistroWatch we are finally there distrowatch.com/table.php?dist… :) - Please leave a review if you use TROMjaro. We always keep TROMjaro up to date and provide support for it.

Very happy that it is listed on DistroWatch!

#CachyOS: #Arch- #Linux für #Einsteiger.

#Arch_Linux hat immer noch den Ruf, nur für #Geeks und #Nerds geeignet zu sein. Das davon abgeleitete #CachyOS spricht nun auch Ein- und Umsteiger an.

Auf #Distrowatch gibt es einen neuen #Shootingstar: Das aus Deutschland stammende #CachyOS hat sich an die Spitze der beobachteten #Linux_Distributionen gesetzt und führt die Ranking-Liste der Seitenaufrufe an. Grund genug, das flexible Arch-Derivat einmal näher zu betrachten.

Thirty years of using Linux and not turning back!

In 1995 I started my Linux journey with SUSE. I had an old Compaq SFF and Windows 95 crawled. There was a Linux magazine with a CD and decided to give it a try and was amazed at the difference is performance.

I did a backup of my files to a CD and installed it. Faster, no crashes and it just worked. It was a bit of a learning curve using the package manager and where all of the tools were.

Over the years I moved from SUSE to MANDRIVA to PCLINUX to ANTIX and now MX-Linux. About fifteen years ago my wife wanted to migrate and we went through the migration. She absolutely loves it as it just works and has never crashed on her. I set it up to be as much in look-and-feel to her Windows95 setup. I love it as she doesn't call 1-800-tom-help very often. Most of the times it is asking where a specific tool is and only once!

Over the decades we purchased only used machines. They worked and much more inexpensive than the latest and greatest shiny computers. Only two machines were new. One was from my prior work, they gave me a bonus and I broke down and bought a tower. The other was a gaming laptop. I do play some games, but I was doing a lot of photo editing of family documents along with a few family videos and needed a machine with enough to handle that.

The gaming laptop is now on the list to convert to Linux as MS is stopping support for Windows 10. The only thing from stopping me earlier was the tax software was windows only. They now have a web version so that limitation is now gone!

If you are thinking about migration to Linux check out DistroWatch as they have a great list of distros and you can search for what you are interested in. Create a bootable USB stick and give it a try before migrating.

Dear Friends of not USA, 🦞
As we may know, the DUSA (#disunified state of America), is just the noisiest box in the room. Not the only #voice. ​:ablobcatcoffee:​

For example:

- #Sparta Brittania is holding counsel
- Kenya is being invited to train astronauts for the new cutting edge International Space Station of Russia and China
- Music is #international, #integrated and entrancing or #liberating
- I and I, own the #Rastaverse, #fediverse and #Federation of Planets

In other words, 'This is Sparta' [in my best shouty/squeaky voice].

It is up to every #instance to provide a better perspective. For example, my #server/instance has only one idiot on it. Did you guess? Yes, it is me ​:ablobcatlurk:​

Fortunately, no one else, except any #determined hackers with nothing better to do, are on it. Oh! And maybe my ISP.
