Howdy, everybody. I’m posting this here in an attempt to begin to move some information that is currently only stored on Reddit over to Lemmy instead, that way we’ll start coming up in Google searches and we can get our information locally. I’ll post my source in the comments if anyone’s interested....

I’m currently using Klipper, and it’s fine, I suppose, but I miss the ability to cycle through the previous clips with simple keypresses, like in the emacs killring (the only thing I miss from my very brief experimentation with emacs back in the day).

Okay, so hear me out…...

I have been mostly an Arch and Fedora user but I am very impressed by Vanilla Os, it is clean and fast, their installer is beautiful and new, everything works very well, for example after a few day my last fedora install with gnome desktop was lagging a bit on my gaming laptop but I doesn’t lag at all on Vanilla Os, it always...

Do you use a non-tiling window manager like IceWM or blackbox? I use a patched version of motif window manager and it works really well....

Is there a possibility to make Linux install automatically delete the data if wrong decryption key is set x amount of times?...

Curious what terminal emulators people use/recommend? I’m using Alacritty myself, but want to try other ones

I want to be clear on my bias here: I firmly believe that open source would not be a ‘thing’ if it weren’t for Red Hat.

You can install it via Flathub, or if you don’t use Flatpak you can build it yourself - the instructions can be found in the README. Please keep in mind that the project is still in beta, if you come across bugs please...

Sorry, new to Lemmy - !debian

I didn’t find this yet, but please downvote to hell itself and drop a link to the proper prior post in comments if you find it....

While I disagree with Red Hat’s decision to hinder source access, this move from Rocky (a commercial company!) seems even more disingenuous, imho.

I know snap is fairly unpopular in the Linux community, and I’ve seen mixed responses regarding Flatpak. I wanted to know, what’s the general opinion of people in this community regarding this 2 package managers?

Hi,...

SystemD is blamed for long boot times and being heavy and bloated on resources. I tried OpenRC and Runit on real hardware (Ryzen 5000-series laptop) for week each and saw only 1 second faster boot time....

I’ve been working on my boot time lately, but I realize I really don’t have a good handle on what it should be. I am hoping some of you will share yours so we can all get a feel for it. I’m including some HW specs here also because I’ve heard it can be relevant:...
