Before rebasing, I used to get both system updates(update to image that silverblue is based on) and flatpak updates through the gui package manager(gnome-software in this...

In other words… a “Use this to do that” guide. Or more specifically, how to customize it (Get rid of the wallpaper, use lower resolutions, set up apps to run on boot, permanently change scaling_min_freq, etc without the usage of third party apps) and where to find a decent/optimized version of it (Something like LineageOS?...

Some time ago I found xonsh which is a python-based shell. It had really good multiline support, and I am searching for a shell with sameish multiline support as xonsh. Fish shell also has good multiline support, it is around the same level, but it is not posix compatible. I want a shell that has that kind of level of multiline,...

I want to build Linux From Scratch so i can assert dominance on the “i UsE aRCh By tHe WAy!” guys. Any advice?

Pretty much the title. Where’s the hate towards Manjaro coming from? I was pretty much a Ubuntu/Fedora user for years but never got too technical.
