It went awesome!

CachyOS is so amazing when it comes to installing software, the huge aur, the immense speed of the installations. I don’t think the latter should be weighted too much because who cares about a few seconds at install time, but it’s still super cool. And I’m sort of entitled to say “I use arch btw” now! yay for that!

The learning curve, coming from debian/ubuntu/QubesOS mainly in the recent years was mild. Learning that pacman offers just a subset of yay etc…

I installed a few “windows only” games from my steam library, all of them worked out of the box and very smooth. Back when I installed steam 4a ago on my laptop I still had to copy some DLL manually and preload some lib to make my favorite game work. No more so.

Even thinking of going CachyOS on my laptop - but as it hardly matters which linux is running there not sure if it’s worth the effort.

Using arch now, btw!

I use this every day to keep track of my medication, remind me of stuff I want to do regularly (measure weight, take specific meds but also chores). Disclaimer: I’m the author, could not find anything alike.

I’ll start by letting you know how it went, as this beautiful day was originally scheduled for last Tuesday…

after assembly the box didn’t start. just 0.5s of light, minor movement on the CPU fan, then dark. need to disconnect/reconnect power to repeat as power button is without function after first press.

removing basically everything but ram/CPU did not help, so taking out the CPU;

don’t believe that normally only most pads are gold covered 😭

and I had cachyOS already on my USB… new hardware is scheduled for tomorrow.

sorry to abuse your request to whine about that :D

I’m sooo looking forward to ditch Windows on my gaming station - tomorrow is the day! yay! (on linux for decades, but current gaming station is from 2017 when gaming on linux wasn’t that much enjoyable…)

🐈😱

you doubt they did sefety testing? did they miss the authism connection?

https://signal.org/blog/the-ecosystem-is-moving/ here is Moxi’s take on that (former Signal CEO).

So I don’t think it’s happening.

it implies that it’s time to gtfo

I’m sure there is somebody out there who thinks this guy is not fascist enough! This is all so absurd.

😜

sqlite is absolutely awesome

true. because they scam people into thinking they would add privacy.

you are not wrong, but this also applies to VPN services. (their defense is as good as the sharehosters are useful for downloading Linux ISOs) and without using any of those proxy services, the lawyers get rich on my money, not the artists either

i personally use a provider for that. i just download torrents to their cloud and get it at maximum speed from there. so I don’t have to worry about p2p risks or being online a lot. I’m with premiumize, but there are others I guess.

But GNU Affero GPL allews commercial exploitation but forces the exploiter to publish the source of any changes - or am I mistaken?

And, btw, the Android thing also doesn’t affect anyone without gapps. Chill out.

so only 99% are affected, that really calms me down.

Many services that are connected to finance/payment require gapps, car sharing, banking etc.

you are right about secure boot, but this was rolled out with proper alternative routes from the beginning. i did not see anything like this for Android at this time
