Moved to pixel from HTC for the fast software updates. My next phone will likely be a pine phone or something similar; build quality on my last two pixels hasn’t exactly been up to snuff.

I don’t really understand your description and I’m guessing that’s the reason for the downvotes. What do you mean by (half) cylinder? Maybe you could try adding a sketch of what you mean?

Unfortunately, I do not know how to draw the design because I am bad at drawing.

I’ve had those similar issues with Wayland on previous distros as well. I think Bazzite was the first distro so far for me that worked fully out of the box with Wayland.

MrPhibb OP ,
@MrPhibb@reddthat.com avatar

I think the browser issues are just Firefox, I suspect it isn’t playing nicely with Wayland or they haven’t figured it out, as tabs aren’t draggable, but there’s a move tab menu choice. Also right click doesn’t work right, I forgot to mention that, right clicking on a link opens in a new tab and switches you to it, even if’n you don’t have that on. As to the keyboard, the layouts section is completely missing in Cinnamon’s keyboard menu, and some research online came back that there’s no way to change the layout, apparently it was overlooked by the Wayland project.

floofloof ,

I was using Wayland on Tumbleweed on my laptop and desktop PC. I had to switch back to X on the desktop, which uses an NVIDIA card, because Firefox windows kept doing this weird flashing. Pretty much everything else worked OK but Firefox was unusable.

I don’t think Bazzite is out on Apple CPUs yet. Still listed as “coming soon” on the website.

Chee_Koala , to android in Are you excited about the upcoming Pixel 9, or have you given up on Google hardware?

I’m riding this 6a all the way to bricktown, then I’m switching to a repairable alternative. Also never buying Google hardware or registering for Google services ever again.

BarbecueCowboy ,

Do you have any prospects in mind for a repairable phone? I’m of a similar mindset, but the premium on the existing ‘repairable’ phones out there is so high that I don’t feel like I can justify it.

Chee_Koala ,

No not really. I said it a bit vague because I think because of EU mandates more phones will be repairable(Soon TM hopefully). I wholly agree with you about the price of, for example, Fairphones. On the other hand my usage has changed radically from 10y ago, and consequently my phone is holding on much longer, so I’m saving up in the extra years this phone is surviving for a more expensive and arguably worse phone except for the repairability. Every day, it becomes worth more and more to me to be as independent from (large) corpo’s as possible, so effectively it’s becoming a better and better deal 😊. Same story for laptops, except it’s Framework instead of Fairphone

Mothra , to asklemmy in If you like romance in fiction, how do you like it? Realistic or Idealistic?

Tough question starting with the fact that realistic relationships vary widely in their scope of wholesomeness and functionality; and stylized or escapist relationships can also vary widely. Just look at how popular stuff like Twilight or 50 shades got for example.

I’m going to side here with people saying it just has to be well written or entertaining enough. It’s more about the characters and the story than whether or not they get along very well or if they have struggles.

possiblylinux127 , to android in Are you excited about the upcoming Pixel 9, or have you given up on Google hardware?

Pixels have very good custom rom support. With that being said I like moto.

MXX53 , to linux in So I installed Arch Linux... Is this it?

I have used a number of distros over the last 15 years. Once I found one I liked, I stuck with it. I understand the package manager, some of the special features of the distro I use and I don’t really have time to relearn this every couple of months on new distros.

If I want a different “feel”, I change my DE. But that’s about it.

FuryMaker , to linux in So I installed Arch Linux... Is this it?

I tried it and was underwhelmed, but also overwhelmed.

I love the idea of choosing everything I want, but Arch also meant the pain of learning to install everything I actually need first.

Is there a minimalistic distro that installs all just the essentials (drivers, services like DHCP, a package manager, desktop GUI), and then I choose from there?

“Arch is stable”

KomfortablesKissen ,

It is! My Desktop hardly ever topples over!

sebsch ,

Stable does not mean it’s for everybody. My installation runs since now 10 years.

(The only other distribution this failsafe I know of is Debian)

dan ,
@dan@upvote.au avatar

When talking about Linux, “stable” usually means “doesn’t have major changes often”, or in other words, “doesn’t have lots of updates that break stuff”. That’s why “Debian stable” is called that. Arch is not that.

ikidd ,
@ikidd@lemmy.world avatar

So I’m trying to understand if you think that shutting down an update during regenerating the initramfs indicates that Arch isn’t stable? Because that’s a FAFO move and would crater any non-atomic update distro.

possiblylinux127 ,

It doesn’t ruin Debian or Fedora as they do the bootloader last

BonesOfTheMoon , to nostupidquestions in Is this normal for girls or just a extreme edge case? (Serious question)

As a woman on Lemmy, I have never done this. I didn’t find penetration very comfy until I learned how to have G spot orgasms with my SO, but by then I was an adult and could buy a G spot dildo for times he wasn’t around. All I can think of with a cucumber is that something would break off inside me and I’d get an infection.

atzanteol , to linux in So I installed Arch Linux... Is this it?

Most distros are very similar - it’s mostly the same software just using a different package manager.

This is why “which distro should I use” is the most annoying question in this community.

lobut ,

It is definitely annoying but I think it’s understandable from people that are coming in from the outside.

ayaya ,
@ayaya@lemdro.id avatar

There is a pretty big difference in terms of usability between Arch and everything else because of the rolling release model and the AUR. Lots of things you would have to manually install from a git repo or track down a PPA for can be installed like a normal package.

atzanteol ,

So what you’re saying is that the package manager is very different?

My point stands - once things are installed your “Linux Experience” is pretty similar.

NOTE: I’ve used words like “most” and “similar” and “pretty”. Do not ignore these words. They have meaning.

folaht , (edited )

I would say it’s not very different, just one league above all the others that I’ve come across.

The three things that stand out in my opinion is how much their package manager can query packages, it’s rolling release and the number of packages they have in the AUR.

It makes Arch the most complete and up to date Linux distro,
with the exception of a user friendly forum,
that doesn’t look like the nazi soup kitchen from Seinfeld,
and an installer.

atzanteol ,

(BTW)

Auli ,

What did you expect they are using the same programs.

Read the thread…

Grimy , to asklemmy in If you like romance in fiction, how do you like it? Realistic or Idealistic?

I really enjoyed Joe Abercrombie’s portrayal of romance. Each relationship seems thoroughly inconvenient to both parties when it starts and it never actually ends well.

I loved my V60 (and my V20 before it). They were such great phones.

communism , to linux in So I installed Arch Linux... Is this it?
@communism@lemmy.ml avatar

Do people really make Arch their personality? Ive been using Arch-based distros since forever and never really met someone like that. I thought it was just a meme.

I like the minimalism and ability to control more parts of your system as opposed to an automated install process doing everything for you. But you don’t have to do that much manually. The main pacstrap step basically sets up your whole system anyway. It’s not that different to other mainstream distros. I have always just used it like any other distro.

Edit: Forgot to mention that the bleeding-edge packages and AUR are nice features too. And being rolling release to a lesser extent, just my preference.

I thought it was just a meme.

I see way more complaints about ‘elitist Arch users’ than I ever do comments from actual elitist Arch users.

llii ,

Also, I never saw anyone saying anything about a “year of the Linux Desktop”. It’s just a meme.

weststadtgesicht ,

Both were a thing in discussions many years ago. That’s why they became a meme.

But since then it’s basically only used ironically because people quickly noticed they’re a meme.

floofloof ,

It was certainly said seriously in the late 1990s and early 2000s. It was the kind of phrase you’d find in computer magazines that came with a Linux CD-ROM stuck to the cover.

This guy from Intel claims to have been the first to use it in 1999, but I think it was a more widely used hype phrase around that time, when desktop Linux was becoming just about usable.

bluewing ,

It’s become a meme now. And I certainly don’t take it seriously myself. It’s more in fun to me as anything serious. (I don’t use Arch by the way).

If you can’t joke about yourself about something you do, then you may have a problem and should perhaps consider some therapy perhaps.

I worked with a guy who had a flag with the Arch logo and his Arch forums username on it hanging above his desk.

@communism@lemmy.ml avatar

Funnily enough one of the points where Arch distinguishes themselves from other distros is that they’re not strict about only including free software in their repos and are completely fine with including proprietary software alongside foss. There’s Parabola if you want Arch but with a strong political line on free software
