KDE is commited to keeping the desktop itself SystemD agnostic. Their new login manager does depend on SystemD, but you can run KDE Plasma from any login manager

SystemD isnt exactly a program but more of a group of projects, the only “core” SystemD software on most distros is the init system… Which you can run completely without SystemD’s UserDB system (the part being talked about in the post).

Basically this means you as a user dont have to do anything but switch away from projects that depend on SystemD’s UserDB (like Gnome), not SystemD as a whole

However if you do want to move away from SystemD as a whole you can replace your init system with another one, gentoo’s wiki is a good starting point for learning a bit more: wiki. Personally I love using openrc but of you have no need to touch init files… Dont switch

At least in my experiance I’ve been dragged because “X told you their pronouns, using they means your trying to invalidate them” I’ve talked to X like 3 times and do not plan on being more then acquaintances/coworkers. Somedays I just want to say, “I wont remeber your pronouns because I don’t care about you, not because I’m transphobic” but that would just create a lot of drama I would care even less about

This has also been a really controversial take of mine. But I have an even more controversial opinion that if I’m not well aquanted or friends with you, using they/them to refer to you is not offensive. I can barely remember peoples names much less your specific pronouns

Fun fact this is actually a well known proven thing! Hide the pain harold.jxl

Study apon study has found that by reducing work, giving people their basic needs, and letting us follow our passions makes us exponentially more productive and happier. But that would only benifit the commoners since the rich/powerful already have all that, and why would the people at the top help when they get off on the feeling of power

Containers are ment to be used with docker networks making it a non-issue, most of the time you want your services to forward 80/443 since thats the default port your reverse proxy is going to call

This is also my goal! …since 2020.

I love vim/nvim but I’ve gotten used to using VIM more as a text editor then an IDE. Writing a script? Taking notes? Maybe even a small program? VIM all the way. Working on a big project that needs an LSP? Either spend the next 20 hours fucking with your VIM config and 20 plugins to get basic functionality… Or just open VSCode and install one plugin

Heres to hoping since NVIM 0.11 with their LSP overhaul I can finnally make the full switch

This is perfect middle step, thank you!

Also using fedora kde :D

I’ve just never encountered a problem with focus stealing or alt-tab issues and leave my drawing tablet/second display plugged in. My friend who runs side by side monitors also has no problems on their arch kde setup. Might just be a weird hardware+application combination problem for some

Edit: try digging in the kde focus settings, I think theres an option to tune focus steeling

Might just br a gnome issue and not a wayland one, KDE and wlroots based compositors do much better at fullscreening and alt-tabbing games then x11 ever did for me. Esspecially on my desktop that has a second monitor

Defaults are good for me but I like mounting my secondary drive to ~/Storage with subfolders media, projects, games

Sorry I was referring to End4’s EWW/AGS shells not the frameworks themselves

Sorry for the late response

End4 is the first one that comes to mind since the dev has made a shell in most big widget framworks at this point. Great project to take inspo and some code from but AGS/EWW shells are archived

Hyprpanel is still being maintained and probably the best base to chose if your going with AGS

Otherwise check r/unixporn and sort top with the keyword “AGS” or “EWW” and your find a couple more

Ive seen some cool big projects made with AGS/Astal and EWW but their both gtk based, and gtk has been the defacto for years in making your own enviorment. Quickshell is intresting because its QT based instead, and since the ricing community likes new or different things were all trying out quickshell

I mean we have this as a real thing with “speed traps” where the limit just drops 10mph for zero reason for half a mile so cops can loiter and give tickets

But I feel as though speeds are already too high for the dumbfucks in giant SUVs who got their license 40 years ago and have lost every braincell related to safe driving due to a crippling alchohol addiction. I propose a “fast lane v2 electric boogaloo” on highways or long stretches thats only available once you take a special, much harder driving test that needs to be renewed every 6 months or so set at 120mph(extream flats) and can slow to 60mph(extremely weavy mountainside turns)

I giggled a little too hard since I actually ended up in a psych ward while moving cross country and made some friends there. Unfortunately my stay was 2 states away from the one I live in now so not even that worked out lol

But thank you for the advice and I think I’ll check out joining sometype of sport, most likely rock climbing(always had an intrest but never the motivation) since that seems to be widely recommended and just seems like a fun time even if I don’t end up meeting anyone

While I agree that we have the technology to wildly decreas emissions by just cutting down on inefficient production, I do want to point out people did infact starve due to covid/lockdowns. Many lost jobs, big corps took the opportunity to run mom and pop shops out of buissness, prices skyrocketed. My family wen’t from scrapping by to relying on food drives

If your truely going the endevour route, here some tips on recoving from a broken state:

• The archwiki is your friend, read the relevant pages before asking on forums

• Install arch manually (no archinstall) and thoroughly read the wiki to understand how your system is put together. Then install endevour, just from doing a manual arch install you should have the knowlage to fix like 90% of issues

• Learn the basics of systemD, will also help you on 99% of mainstream distros

• Keep your /home directory on a seperate partition, useful for doing a system rescue and for distrohopping

For me at least it is 100% a hobby. Sure when I’m actually working I’m either running plasma or riverwm basically stock, but it’s genuinly really fun to see how “hollywood hacker” based I can get my desktop to look. It also helps me learn more about interacting with the inner workings of linux since I like to modify things myself instead of using other peoples dots. I even made a shitty terminal application launcher using pure fish cause I wanted to see if I could, and it taught me a ton about .desktop files and binary locations and flags. That information I now use daily building my own applications

Not sure what your exact requirements are, but these three should work great as simple upload and share embed link type servers :0

Lychee: My personal choice even for my entire photo library since I just like things to be simple

Pellicola: Self discribed as “Pastebin for your photos”

Media Goblin: Lets you view more then just photos, might replace my lychee for non-photography use
