Usually Chad VoidLinux because it avoids the Unix-philosphy ignoring piece of garbage systemD but now I’m trying NixOS

I_like_cats , to linux in OpenSUSE has the best installation menu of any OSs ever made

Yeah it’s alright. I’ve been using Tumbleweed on my Desktop PC for the last few months and I gotta say it’s mid. They do hard drive unlocking in Grub instead of in the initfs which means that only LUKS 1 and with that only the not-so-secure PDKDF is supported, instead of argon2id which is the modern KDF you want to use. This is a small and annoying oversight in the distros security which is why I will not be using it in the future

I_like_cats , to technology in Roku explores taking over HDMI feeds with ads

The HDMI forum is run by big companies so that is not happening, sorry

I_like_cats , to linuxmemes in People who use distros without systemd, why do you do this?

I’m not an anti-systemd extremist. I use Void because it is a simple distro that doesn’t break as often as Arch does, while also being very up-to-date.

I do have some things I dislike about systemd though which is why I will continue avoiding it in the future.

  • It doesn’t follow the Unix Philosophy. This is a big problem for me, I want to be able to switch out different parts of my system as I please. Systemd is a collection of projects that are all so deeply integrated that you can’t use them without also running the Systemd init system. And now Desktop Environments are starting to depend on Logind for example and there’s no alternative for non-systemd users. (Except Elogind but that’s just Logind ripped out of SystemD)
  • It’s bloated and has many features I don’t use. I just need an init system to start all my services at boot and restart them if they fail. Nothing more

Also using a Distro without Systemd is not really that hard

I_like_cats , to technology in Apple Walks Back Decision to Disable Home Screen Web Apps in the EU

Yeah but it’s only for Webkit. Apple Webkit is deliberately neutered so webapps don’t work well with it so that people don’t use them and rather buy “real” apps in the app store

I_like_cats , to technology in Microsoft, this is a breakthrough: Windows 11 will update without rebooting

Let’s see how well it works before congratulating. I have a hunch it won’t work well

I_like_cats , to asklemmy in Devs of lemmy, do you find ai chatbot helpful?

Depends on if you want to work with existing code. LLMs tend to be good at generating small code snippets but not good at understanding / finding errors in existing code

I_like_cats , to linux in It is a huge failure in communication to pretend that distro upgrades are entirely different versions of the operating system. It does nothing but make Linux seem more complex than it actually is.

I disagree. Have you ever updated your Android or Iphone to a newer version of the OS? Did it seem complex there? I’d say no and on Linux Desktop it’s not different.

I_like_cats , to linux in Ranking Linux Distributions for 2024: a tier list for my use case !

Void Linux is S tier

I_like_cats , to linux in What are you most excited when it comes to linux in 2024?

I’m hoping for COSMIC to come out. It looks so promising and the fact that they implemented the panels using wlr-layer-shell is so great. I think more desktop environments should do this for interoperability

I_like_cats , to programmerhumor in Looking at you Ionic, Tauri, ...

This is a problem. Computers got faster over time and one would assume apps would also open faster. But no, developers that don’t care about their application’s performance (or companies, most of the time it’s not the developer’s fault) cause us to wait longer. Microsoft recently tweeted that they managed to get Microsoft Teams startup time down to 9 seconds from 18. I mean what the fuck.

I_like_cats , to programmerhumor in Looking at you Ionic, Tauri, ...

Yes. Thats a fuckton for a code editor. I also have an operating system that needs ram too. And if I open a browser it’s over

I_like_cats , to programmerhumor in Looking at you Ionic, Tauri, ...

I know. I also use VSCode. However I just hate how much ram it uses. I had a Laptop with 4Gb of ram and I could not open VsCode on that thing when I had literally anything else open because the system would freeze.

Just because VsCode uses Electron doesn’t mean that Electron is not bad

I_like_cats , to programmerhumor in Looking at you Ionic, Tauri, ...

There’s no such thing as a efficient electron app. First electron apps have 80MB of overhead since electron needs to bundle a whole ass browser. Also in runtime this requires 120MB of ram.

If you really want to use webviews to make an app use Tauri.

I_like_cats , to linux in Video editor for Linux?

Yes but it’s not primarily a video editing app. Also Blender is kinda hard to learn and doing so just for video editing would be overkill
