How do you get the softwares you use?

From: - package manager (apt, dnf, pacman, pkg, etc) - snap - flatpak - use language specific package manager (pip, npm, go, cargo, mvn) - download an app image - compile from source Is all possibilities known for you? .. or services trought docker, podman, etc

I use Arch btw(Linux)

Installed PewDiePie's Odysseus on my system, hope it works 😅

Linux from Scratch virtual machine

It has been an interesting challenge maintaining a Linux From Scratch (LFS) virtual machine for the last almost 5 months. With the help of AI, I've managed to create scripts for maintaining the system and building packages. These scripts mostly use the LFS and Beyond LFS (BLFS) systemd development… read more

Feeble attempt

Just working with skynet to develop ways to torment users on a terminal...

🫡you served me well

After five years of using this 16TB drive that I bought used, it’s finally time for a replacement. I’m just thrilled that I’ll be spending twice the price for the same kind of drive

Linux from Scratch: wallpaper-changing buttons.

Given all the photos I've taken on my bike trips, I thought it was time to give my Linux From Scratch (LFS) virtual machine the ability to easily change between wallpapers with the click of a button. I've already given my NixOS host system this ability. So I added three app launchers to my dock… read more

Anyone got any favorite self-hosted services?

Last year I got into Linux, started with Archcraft (I do not recommend) and eventually switched to CachyOS (much better), but what's really got me hooked is the amount of self-hosted services I've set up. Pi-Hole, Home Assistant and Nextcloud alone are life changing! So I'm going to share a list… read more

Got to love grub

It could be one of these possible commands right here. All nice and tiny with no delineation just shoved together like one giant run on sentence. 🤯 Damn Zorin getting stuck during boot.

Leaving Windows

It's still complicated to end a relationship of over 20 years with a system, but definitely Windows is digging its own grave by trying to force chatbots and AI despite having "eliminated" Copilot, not to mention all the bloatware that consumes resources. Anyway, with all the compatibility layers… read more

Enjoying my dual monitor setup with Hyprland and NixOS

I've been tweaking my Hyprland setup to accommodate my new dual monitor setup and it's been fun. The most challenging part has been just getting my Waybar to work for me. I originally kept all the workspace icons on both monitors, but that made my Waybar cluttered (so much so there was hardly any… (edited) read more

☄️ Arch Linux

Okay, I, or more correctly say, WE, decided to try Arch Linux. Because it's interesting as hell. Today in the evening we will try to install it on our laptop. I hope everything goes well.

Hyprland running under Arch Linux

I finally managed to get my wireless headphones to work on Arch Linux under Hyprland last night. I've also found a solution to my bootloader issue wherein Arch Linux's bootloader wouldn't work. And I've customized Hyprland and it is working like a dream. This is my current Hyprland desktop with… read more

Arch Linux desktop

On Friday, I installed NixOS and Arch Linux to new SSDs I added to my PC. I've managed to get my Arch Linux install to do most things I want it to (main exception is I struggle to get wireless headphones to work under Hyprland; they work fine under GNOME). This includes gaming, programming, working… read more

Webcam rant

I've been on a crusade to find the best webcam for Linux. You'd figure any UVC compliant webcam would do but you'd be wrong. Most require Windows for firmware updates as WINE / Proton fails to detect the webcam. The few that do offer firmware updates via fwupd and claim to support Linux right on… (edited) read more

Linux users of Boo: what is your go-to distribution? Why? Feel free to list more than one distribution.

For me, the answer is Arch Linux and NixOS. I love how on Arch Linux, it is usually possible to get any piece of software I want with minimal fuss. If the software somehow isn't in Arch's repositories, including the Arch User Repository (AUR), I can always package it for myself as Arch's packages… (edited) read more

Girls and systems/computers

I can't seem to find girls with a passion for Linux, systems, hardware or computer science in general.. I wonder why... A girl I could discuss the latest kernel features, about pipewire, wayland, or share nerdy memes.... Seems like an impossible task. What keeps girls from enjoying these… read more

Hey all, just wanted to introduce myself. Everyone calls me Buster and I use Linux as my main OS. I also have a degree in computer engineering. If anyone has any computer related questions feel free to post here or reach out. Beep boop I'm a computer 💻

Any Linux user in here? 🐧 Which distro?

I have personally dropped Windows something like 7 years ago and since then, I have discovered an unexpected wonderful world, where people help each other, where you are responsable for your OS's health, where applications are generally free not as in free beer, but as in Freedom. I have also… read more

Neurotic computer resource management obsession

It's a real disorder 🤣

Why Linux?

Doesn't seem to be much activity in here, so I'll kick it off... Why do you use/like Linux?

Building A Makeshift Linux Server

Throwing together a quick server to run some python/django code on for my radio station. Not the kind of tweaks to run on production! Normally i just use a cheap dedi box. My main datacenter was bought out a few months ago, and their basic dedicated servers have more than tripled in price.… read more

That weird moment...

...when your Debian is running your game better than your previous Windows installation. Neat! Thanks Valve 🤟 #nerd #magicthegathering
