With the latest release of Solus, I feel I should ask. I have had my eye on this particular distro for some time now. I even did a test installation about two years ago, but it didn’t feel as complete as I needed it to be....

Last time I didn’t upgrade for a long while some drivers broke, maybe I’ll just switch to NixOS this time since it seems interesting. Does anyone here use NixOS? What do you think about it?

I like to follow articles benchmarking OSs on phoronix a lot. Whenever Arch looks bad I see comments riddled with saying that is because the default scheduler sucks. I feel fairly compitent with Linux but for some reason schedulers seemed like this black box that lives in the realm of places where I normally break my OS from not...

Hi lemmies! A few months ago, I started working on something I called just the Clipboard Project. It’s a clipboard manager that’s for the terminal, and at the time it was the only such option around, and still is today....

Used almost always gnome, but recently got interested in tiling wm and have done some searches and stumbled upon the Manjaro Sway edition and everything works quite well, but I keep...

Hi guys! The other day I think saw mentioned in the passing a sort of youtube frontend player for linux, I think. But I didn’t see that mention again, and couldn’t get back to it. Kinda like a desktop app that allows to see videos, subscriptions etc…does such a thing exist? Or did I just dream it?
