Don’t trust any piracy site, even the ones you trust.

Well, you could use Github’s free (as in beer) infrastructure to host artifacts, which means they’ll have to pay (as a company) instead of codeberg (as a non-profit). The issues and development can be hosted on codeberg. Kind of like the Linux Kernel does it, github only being a mirror, not an endorsement.

The 5000 series from Dell is worse than the T series thinkpads. I’d say the 7000 series would be comparable. I had a 7280 (IIRC) which was great for years, I really like the mobile Dell keyboards. I wouldn’t touch a 5410 though, rather a 7410. So out of these two, the Thinkpad seems like the better deal.

The hardware in those things is underpowered to say the least. yeah, 2…4GB of RAM, wtf

Why github and not codeberg.org?

Please let people have fun with computers, thank you. This doesn’t sound like the 100th Arch reskin and doesn’t sound like “just a bunch of config files” either. If you need to start a flamewar, please do it with that far-right LLM slopfest grift that is Omarchy.

You know, that’s the thing, I personally find Arch easy and intuitive and don’t get where people get the idea that it breaks all the time from I’ve been using Arch since 2008 or 2010, idk. I find it easy and intuitive but I still managed to fuck it up multiple times by now. All of those major fuckups I can remember could probably have been solved by what you’re trying to do with Pu-239. List of major fuckups off the top of my head, chronologically: Once it had suddenly contracted some kind of computer AIDS which made the windows pink and caused other graphical errors. Never figured out why, a reinstall solved it. Another time I installed a bunch of packages without doing a full repo sync before (pacman -S instead of -Syu), which left the system in an inconsistent state. Had snapshots of the root partition I could roll back to. The third time happened only recently and made my desktop unusable for half a year because I couldn’t be bothered to fix the fucking bootloader. Huge update (4-5GiB in size, didn’t update for a few weeks or months even) slowed down the whole system due to btrfs having some exhausted inodes or sth, which made the system crash and the bootloader disappear. This even fucked up my firmware so for whatever reason the system can’t boot from /boot, only from the EFI system partition. My current workaround is copying the files from /boot to the ESP until I can be arsed to figure out the issue.

Same, same. Please don’t call it Starchy. Hope your distro has a longer half-life than Omarchy (pun intended) 😅

Yeah, I don’t get it either, and I don’t get why this guy/project specifically gets funding… The only link I can see is that he’s openly far-right, which might appeal to the “dudebro prepper” type of crowd.

Sounds great 😊 I’ll try your project when I have the time (few weeks I guess).

Yeah please disclose that, pair programming is a fine idea with AI. I’m kind of against AI in general, but if you use it like you claim you do, sounds fine :) Maybe you can add an explanation on which parts are LLM assisted and which aren’t, like it’s done with projects in !selfhosted@lemmy.world.

Love it!! You seem to have a similar stance on LLMs as I do. They’re useful if used correctly, but still destroying the world for nothing in 95% of cases, because most people using them are stupid and talentless.

Als Deutscher kannst Du ja auch Mitglied im Codeberg e.V. werden wenn Dir das wichtig ist. Oder, wie gesagt, die Artefakte bei Microsoft hosten, um dem Verein Geld zu sparen. Microslop darf das gerne bezahlen, oder? 😄

Still expensive af. I have an RX 7800 XT and paid half of what you paid for your GPU, and still was annoyed it cost so much. Computing should be something accessible by the masses, not a hobbyist elite like us.

I don’t understand what you try to convey to me. You can either buy games or pirate them, but I would still double check for malicious content. Even if you trust a site, there can still be viruses.

Didn’t know about RakuOS, nice! “RakuOS, but Arch” is exactly how Pu-239 sounds like, and I like it 😄

Omg yass. I’ll install this for sure.

Exactly why I found your idea very cool :) With Multi-Kernel Linux you could even try booting it before you try booting it, haha 😄

bought an Intel B70 to run stuff locally You spent 1700€ for that? Jesus, how rich are your parents?!?! 😄

Sounds great and exactly how I’d want it! So you basically have a base set of packages which are guaranteed to be stable, but you can still layer stuff on top? Maybe you can also have multiple boot entries like a “safe mode” or a way to boot different combinations of packages. I’d really like to have a somewhat declarative way to manage the software on my laptop and desktop both, the latter being a superset as I need gaming and LLM related software there (which I don’t need on my laptop). I’ll certainly play around with your distro as soon as it’s out. Don’t know when though, as I need to take a few precautions to not fuck up my data first 😅

Hard to google though…

First wayland DE (?) that looks nice to me. Thinking about switching from KDE but I doubt it’s as polished… The plugins seem to be nice, as they seem to be using many of the same software stack as I do (Syncthing, Tailscale, KDE Connect, scrcpy, …).

Because for some reason that dork secured lots of funding. Wish this money would go towards other more sustainable projects…

I rather like activitywatch for this, which sadly has been a bit buggy in the past for me. Maybe try to contribute there?

I value security so Mint and Debian are out. Why is that? I never had security issues with Debian.

it’s illegal to have the same distro on two different machines Shit. Gotta go, have to do something about that. Glad you mentioned it. Why OpenSUSE specifically? What do you like better about it?

Name could be Plutium, domain could be pu-239? @yxc999@lemmy.ml

Why NixOS? I found NixOS to be very inefficient with resources like human time, CPU time and storage.

Why switch the laptop to OpenSUSE?

A BTRFS snapshot will also roll back your documents or whatever Not necessarily. You can have your documents on one subvolume and the root system on another. I version and snapshot my root disk and home disk separately.

Pivot tables are interesting with LibreOffice Calc, I’d say. They break in funny ways for me. Still, glad I don’t have to use it that often.

local LLM I use walk me through the solution as an effective learning tool. Which model do you use for that exactly?

Finally! I know what I’ll try over the weekend after I made backups 😇

It’s not the gun that kills you. It’s not the projectile that kills you, it’s the impact.

No, please continue destroying the world instead of honing your talents. It’s what God wants.

Try Baserow as Excel alternative. Sad that it doesn’t have a desktop version.

You did your CV in Excel? Why not LaTeX or typst?

Nah, it’s way easier. You can use makepkg and the Arch Build System.

You can use a raw disk in VirtualBox. Just make sure you install an initrd and kernel which has drivers for all of your hardware. If you let something autodetect hardware, it will detect the virtual hardware, not the real one.

Sick retro looking UI, nice job

typst I have used typst.app/universe/package/brilliant-cv/ in the past, can recommend. Customised it to my liking though, never cared to upload it.

We might need an active agentic system that also work constantly 24/7 to track the whole fascist/nazi network, all its players, update the lists Why? I mean, I’m not anti-AI completely, but building denylists with AI seems to be a bad idea. Is it really that time consuming that we couldn’t just do a git repo and allow merge requests for people to collaborate?

CachyOS, EndeavourOS or plain arch.

Let’s see if the Kernel is abandoned in a few months, seems likely

😱😬🤣😐🙃🙈💩

You could also recompile your arch packages.

Maybe ask him for a cup of tea and hear him out?
