I’m not sure, but I’m guessing this is actually Arial or Nimbus Sans or something.

I would have tried that if I had any. Somehow, I have laboratory grade chemicals in my room, but not a drop of orange oil in the entire house!

This! I just bought a water bottle, and it took the following measures just to get the residue from the label off:

• Soaking in warm, soapy water
• Scrubbing with an abrasive sponge
• Soaking in vinegar
• Scrubbing with Flash floor cleaner
• Immersion in boiling water for 30 mins
• Scrubbing with a Brillo pad
• WD-40
• 91% concentration laboratory-grade isopropanol

CloudTube is the way!

Very nice.

hellfire103 OP , 8 months ago to unixporn in [LeftWM] Void and siduction are in the past for me. It's time for ArcoLinux to shine!

Void was tricky. I didn’t like Runit, and the package selection wasn’t great.

As for siduction, it was just a touch too buggy (i.e. XScreensaver caused the laptop to freeze when I closed the lid) and too preconfigured to be able to resolve easily. It also played havoc with my school’s BYOD internet. I’ll probably go back to it at some point, though.

Of course, the main reason for this new install is that I just bought an SSD, and I’d rather start fresh than try to flash my old hard disk across.

EndeavourOS runs like shit on this particular laptop, and the installer could have used some work the last time I tried it.

I tried three times to install vanilla Arch on this laptop since I installed my new SSD, and it has failed in a different way each time. I’ve had it running well in the past, but this time it’s not playing ball, so I gave up and installed ArcoLinux.

hellfire103 OP , 8 months ago to unixporn in [LeftWM] Void and siduction are in the past for me. It's time for ArcoLinux to shine!

It’s a distribution based on Arch, with four flavours.

ArcoLinuxL is the main one, with all the bells and whistles. ArcoLinuxS is the minimal one that comes with a desktop. ArcoLinuxD is the base one, which is comparable to a GUI version of the upstream Arch ISO.

It’s Derek Taylor’s (DistroTube’s) distro of choice.

I believe there are a few Linux phones with keyboards, but they’re not quite production-ready yet.

Lookin’ good!

hellfire103 OP , 9 months ago to unixporn in [GNOME] Flat Remix is actually pretty nice

What’s to fix? I am using UserJS to make Librewolf look like that. This means that it can only use the Adwaita theme or the Maia theme.

That’s nice. What web browser do you use?

hellfire103 OP , 9 months ago to unixporn in [GNOME] Flat Remix is actually pretty nice

Yeah, I’ve been trying to figure out how to do that.

hellfire103 , 9 months ago to linux in [Question] Which shell prompt do you use and why?

I use Zsh with the Oh My Zsh! framework, and I use a different theme depending on which subuserland I’m in, by customising ~/.zshrc. For example, I use the gentoo theme on Debian and its derivatives, agnoster on NixOS, darkblood on Arch, strug for Mageia, apple on my macOS device, aussiegeek on FreeBSD, and gallifrey on OpenBSD. Different themes helps me remember which package manager to use and which distro-specific commands will work.

I’ll send some screenshots in a bit, when I boot up my PC.

I like Zsh because of its tab completion and command history. I also quite like its plugins.

Before anyone asks, I have tried Fish before, and I prefer Zsh. I have tried configuring Bash before, and I prefer Zsh. I have played with Ksh and Tcsh on BSD, and I prefer Zsh. I used PowerShell a long time ago, and I prefer Zsh.

hellfire103 , 9 months ago to mildlyinfuriating in youtube on modern phones sucks

Yeah, I switched to Invidious a long time ago. If you want an app, I’d also recommend NewPipe (for Android), and either Yattee (for iOS) or Piped (as a PWA).
