Are you sure you want pipewire and pulseaudio installed and trying to run?

Maybe replace pulseaudio with pipewire-pulse, unless I'm missing something from your post.

Arch Linux Mint is a great example of the Linux desktop ecosystem that is a very good example of the Linux ecosystem that is a very good example of the Linux ecosystem...

Thanks FUTO keyboard

If I have two folders in my directory, Dir1 and dir2, what does d <TAB> autocomplete to and what should it do?

Why would they do that on purpose?

I still see ő (with dashes), guess for some reason your combination of OS, program and fonts makes that Unicode look different

Different person, but I'll try to explain some of what I know.

Traditional Linux:

  • read/write root and usr
  • only one version of a program can exist*
  • packages are available immediately after install
  • packages are imperative (you tell it what to do, it does that)
  • files swapped in place (can lead to issues like kernel modules missing or Firefox not opening new tabs until restart)

*you might have python3.8 and python3.9, but those must be created as different packages using different paths in /usr

NixOS, Guix:

  • declarative package management (basically config file and exactly these packages are installed)
  • usr and parts of root read-only (afaik)
  • packages symlinked to usr
  • multiple versions of packages kept locally (though not all active necessarily)
  • will keep using old package until restart/reboot, therefore not breaking on updates. New instances of a program can use the new package
  • easy to roll back due to multiple versions kept

Immutable OS (haven't seen one mentioned by OP, but it's a category):

  • often imperative package management
  • using snapshots or multiple root partitions for easy rollbacks
  • read-only root and usr
  • packages might only be available after a reboot (depends on implementation and if system packages or something else like Flatpak, which doesn't need a reboot, are used)

SerpentOS:

  • experimental distro (ie stuff might change)
  • imperative package manager
  • packages installed to separate tree, but swapped live. Basically A/B root of an Immutable system that doesn't require a reboot (according to the explaination in the latest blog post)

Not sure why ClearLinux is on that list of special distros and I don't know half of the rest so yeah. Hope this explains some of it?

Yeah it's common. I'm not confused by it, just like a normal g more.

Huh, since when? I did check the project wiki and it still says there's a workaround for anti-cheat, but whatever. Nice that it's working better on Linux since I last checked.

The Fira family has a similar fancy g for some reason

[–] exu@feditown.com 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah, for the new Qualcomm chips they're using in the Windows for ARM devices. Not sure if they still need device trees to work properly or if they have an UEFI like.

There's "an anime game" project to workaround the launcher and anti-cheat. Was fully playable when I used it a few months ago, but I did have to change to Proton GE or something else to fix some graphical glitches.

Also, no guarantee your account won't get banned.

Not sure how well it works, but this already exists with mCaptcha
