  • You're right, my bad. Carry on! (:

  • This doesn't work. The elephant is still in the fridge.

  • Thx both of you. This meme seems to tell only one side of the story, but it seems to be very true.

    Btw., you don't have to live in the US to experience police violence. I called the cops once to protect me from another cop.

  • Gnome merges XDG session management wayland protocol (but disabled in Gnome 47 by default)
  • I see, I thought is was meant for restoring programs after login. Thx, for the clarification.

  • Does it also restore the content of unsaved files of the application? If not, I'll prefer systemctl hibernate. I wonder, what this new feature is for. Gnome had it in the past, MacOS has it, but I don't see what the use case is.

  • Try gnome-calender as a evolution-data-server frontend.

  • Evolution here. I will likely never go back to Thunderbird.

  • Why YAML sucks?
  • Yes, totally agree, and it applies to formats and language syntaxes even if braces are used.

  • I think, it is a trust issue, the lack of trust in the own workforce.

    So, it easier to let the administration be done by a different company that can be held liable if something goes south. Mostly these are those consulting firms that make money with O365 integration (intune and the like). In the end, they earn only money with consulting and the risk is still with the client.

    CEOs are connected with other CEOs and managers which already implemented the O365 BS and so they follow by example. They don't see that they gain nothing, only some grumpy devs that are forced to work with Windows. And you need an internal Windows admin anyway as a fulltime position which needs to be educated to use M$ tools which costs even more money gladly taken by the same consulting firms.

    And what strikes me, this M$ Intune Gedöns can handle Ununtu Linux desktops, but devs are not allowed to use it on the desktop to increase productivity. The irony: The product they are developing is running on Linux servers.

    I had to get this out of my system, sorry.

  • I tried a full desktop env (XFCE) in WSL, it is sooo laggy.

  • Sadly, a true story. I asked 2 days ago. The answer was no, because they want to standardize the work environment. /:

  • how to choose window tiling manager?
  • Try Niri (a linear window manager), I have tried it already for a short time on a seperate computer. It is very good! I just not got around configuring it for my main machine, yet.

    And I need to test how well Xwayland works, because I need it for Steam and some games.

  • Funtoo Linux is winding down through august.
  • Did they not have a way of installing binaries more easily? I could be confusing it with another derivate of Gentoo.

    Anyway, Gentoo has now a binary repo to speed up updates for some packages. No need to try NixOS or Gentoo forks anymore. (:

  • I don't have a problem.
  • That is very fast. I count in days.

  • Gentoo-based distros

    I am looking for a distro that is based on Gentoo or is heavily inspired by it. I am a long-time Gentoo user and Debian on system where I don't have the time to maintain it. I love the flexibility of Gentoo, but although my hardware keeps up, I find my self often not willing to wait hours for an update on my main machine. I am glad that there are some binary packages for some programs and I use flatpak, too. But even though, updates take too long, time I want to spend using my computer. I thought of going to Debian everywhere, because it is stable and does not move too fast regarding major updates. So, Arch-based distros are no option for me.

    Can someone of the community recommend any Gentoo-based distros?
