i3lock triggered manually with ctrl-alt-L from OpenBox. It’s a force of habit to lock it manually, so no timer necessary. I3lock is lightweight, supports a background image, and has a nice fast password prompt with support for ctrl-u etc.
Guix is a source based (rolling release) distro. Any package operation you do like like installing, updating, or removing, can be rolled back. So if an update ever breaks anything you can just roll-back and wait for the fix. You can even pin that specific package and continue to upgrade the rest of your system. And every state is saved in a generation, so you can go to any state your system has ever been in package/configuration wise.
Thanks for this! Also have been unhappy with the Linux music player selections – at the moment I’m using the Foobar2000 snap, but I hate snap and don’t want it on my system. Trying this later today.
I’ve always stuck to Thinkpads for Linux – especially the T series is incredibly solid. That said, you really shouldn’t have an issue with a 2015 MacBook.
At this point, I’d like to see better regulation about usage of user data for training before this gets approached by the FOSS community. Ideally we should see a regulatory bloodbath where AI training data is concerned (using other people’s data or creation without explicit consent, and ultimately regurgitating that data, as LLMs do).
*I don’t think we’ll ever see sufficient regulation at all – but we should. Use of data in the way needed and quantities needed clearly call for it, in my view
