This was my take as well, so I ended up with vanilla Void.

i actually ended up installing vanilla Void. I messed it up before with seating and bash_profiles, but following strictly their documentation, it took me 10 min to get a fully xdg-portals powered system with plasma.
Truthfully, it’s because I’ve become increasingly lazy lately,but I’ve been looking for a reason to move away from systemd ,as I am not a fan of hard dependencies like that anymore - been using arch for years and am looking to try other init system to sort of break away from monopolies.
You’re right of course,however, I find the Void documentation very lacking TBH and getting a minimal install with plasma and pipewire so what I need.
Edit: thanks for the recommendations. I completely forgot to check distrowatch.

I can’t for the life of me get used to Gnome on my desktop. I tried so many times, but I always get the feeling of using a tablet.
I like the concept, but it’s simply a laptop or tablet centered DE, at best.

Given current micro services architectures, we all have to get along with each other,for the greater good and the interest of the customer.
You sell shit, you get shit back. You sell high quality products with less obvious faults, you profit in the long run.
But no: “Let’s test in production”…

31·28 days agoTesting in production is the most idiotic last 10 years or so concept, which is mainly driven by incompetence of project managers.
Imagine if you get sold a car by a company, for 100k, then it starts having major issues and the car company tells you: “we’ll fix it”.
While that does not necessarily apply to software or services or webapps, the logic still stands. You are selling bugs to people. Bugs that could have been cought, with some risk management and planning.

There were some decent people in his team in the past. I’m not against anyone else, just his obnoxious character.
i’ll have a look at this channel. Thanks for the tip!
Oh no, not this clown again. Is he running out of content? For sure.
No one ever asked him about linux things, yet he still wishes to share his imbecile opnions with the world. What a joke!

5·1 month agoI’ve been daily driving linux since around 2002, but not for gaming initially. I switched to it fully about 5-6 years ago and havent’t looked back.
Compared to the trash Windows is? I’d rather “suffer” through 2 sessions switching really.

4·1 month agoFor me this is usually solved by opening another tty session (e.g ctrl+alt+f3 ) and going back to F2 or simply restarting the login manager service.
Might be a different issue thought.

I do hope it’ll be a good enough device, even if there will be no NFC phone payments possible.

I understand, but they are losing the train I guess. People are giving up easily when they need a solution fast.

I’m glad I stuck with Librewolf.
