All of these alternatives and you missed the best one ripgrep (rg). The other ones in my opinion are nice to have. Recursive multi-threaded grep that respects gitignore files is a must for me.

I’ve also witnessed matrix structure break down when too many methods of communication are used. It’s all very brittle.

Has anyone actually decided KPIs for themselves? Every time I make one my boss basically says “Yeah, that’s cool, but I think you should…”

“I want to know why this is broken. How to fix it can come later.”

Or override the TERM variable in your ssh config. Setting it to an xterm value has been supported by any niche term I’ve used over the years without sacrificing any of the usual functions.

Arch. Started using it in high school. Never had a reason to switch. Now I’m just regularly frustrated by other distros trying to make things easier by abstracting simple configurations behind layers of custom scripts.

Was gifted one of these recently. The Tuya app sucks. It fails to determine the location so the weather and clock functions of this device are broken for me. The home assistant integration for Tuya doesn’t support this device (HA actually thought it was a toothbrush at first). The supported plant list is short and not publicly available. No lan-only control, aside from the custom animations page. The Type-C charge port doesn’t actually support any of the PD standards, it’s just using the port for standard 5V 2A delivery making it incompatible with some power sources.

That being said, it’s kinda neat. Will report back on how well the plant’s doing after a few weeks. Maybe community firmware can fix things up, but considering the target audience… not sure if/when that will happen.

AUR, when I can. I run my own binary package repo. App images are an interesting concept, but usually they are compiled against ancient versions of glibc for increased compatibility. Optimizations and CVE patches may or may not be applied, LD lookups are longer, etc.

Yeah, that power metric can fluctuate wildly depending on how smart their display controller is. Throw VRR and / or event driven rendering into the mix and you get most of the benefits of both with the added benefit of limiting rendering bursts.

I’ll keep saying it, this is called a Word Processor. They were cool when they were simple microcontrollers and LCD displays, not so much now.

Sway still primarily counts as a WM + Compositor, but considering it has keymaps, autostart, and libinput config mechanisms embedded in it, I would say it borders a desktop environment.

One hell of a consolation prize

The inhibit_idle specifier is cool, thanks for the pointer. This two liner can be replaced with:

for_window [all] inhibit_idle fullscreen

Or it’s a cheap external nvme chassis with a Samsung 980 Pro. Had to run that when I was copying files from one of my old machines and boy, it will absolutely overheat to the point of failure.

Gave me quite the scare when I started getting read errors and then it dropped off the bus. It shutdown to protect itself but it certainly didn’t seem like that at the time.

That’s certainly news to me. I suppose it just really needs the latest version. There was a noticeable improvement to stuttering and fps.

That game is interesting though. Some things the community sees as bugs, like the audio glitches, have been claimed as an artistic choice.

• Sable - but you’ll want to use protontricks to install dxvk
• Stonefly
• Far - 1 & 2 are both good, but I still prefer the first one
• Vane
• Lightmatter

Please people, these stand alone guides are fine but continual use of the wiki ensures it is kept up to date. These should not act as or be used like a substitute.

The real problem: Define beginner distro

Every user is starting from a different point. There is no such thing as a beginner distro. You can say this distro is good for people who can grasp the idea of a command line or this distro is good for people who have no idea command line interfaces exist, but that doesn’t differentiate between beginner friendly or not.

Man we’re going back to those goofy keyboards with single row LCD screens that they used very briefly in writing classes in the US. Can’t remember what they were called
