@Migueldeicaza Reading the whole blog made me, as a non-dev, appreciate so much of what these 'silent' warriors are doing for us and the whole ecosystem. Amazing.

Used the minimal iso. Switched to the testing branch. Used the no-multilib profile (not the KDE desktop one). Layered stuff on top. It helps I know exactly which applications I want. Edited some conf files and learned a lot about USE flags. Applied as well. 15 hours later and KDE (superlean) on Gentoo is up and running. And it was great to do. More tomorrow, it's been a long, but gratifying day.

Okay. I stand by my rant. But this podcast has a lot of info that gave me insights and understanding on the POV of RedHat. There is some fair stuff in there. Worth your time. https://linuxunplugged.com/517

Wakey, wakey Fedora fans:
I quote from Double your Profits in 6 Months by Bob Fifer: "You must eliminate all non-profit-producing strategic costs so as to leave more money for truly productive expenditures." IBM consulting and 3G make a living out of this. Then look at the layoffs while making a profit, CentOS drama, end of maintenance of rpm's, push for flatpaks and immutability (less maintenance) etc etc. Food for thought and action.

The UniversalBlue project is out of beta as of today, after 2 years. Since they are closing in on 14 million image pulls I think they've shown how solid it is. BlueBuild enables you to brew your own, and for the last 3 weeks I was running Fedora 40 Kinoite, enhanced by Ublue and optimized by yours truly 😎 Rock solid.
Congratulations to all contributors, who made this possible. On we go!

@RL_Dane now that was fun!

Eternal n00b, as in eternally curious. Who'd wake up and think about compiling on Slackware? Any doctors around?

Often late at night I'll send myself notes to remind future me of ideas for episodes and topics etc. I've just sent myself this and it's going to take some time to process it. Can I really bring myself to do something so monstrous? Tune in soon to find out!

@JoeRess The minute you switch to KDE it really gets worrisome.

Suppose you want to run Hyprland 0.37.1 on the stable Slackware Current foundation? Use the slackware-live-current-nwg iso, available at https://rekt.lngn.net/nwg/ and get going. Thanks to Jay (@jloc0 ) and Piotr (@nwgpiotr ) for making this great combo!

Is there a surefire way to get a network printer working on Linux? I know there are DE's that have that all done for you. So it's possible obviously. But how do they get my Brother printer to work, when I can manually? I have CUPS, I can see it. It's identified, I am connected and can tell it's idle and is accepting jobs. But, I can't find a way to get a page to print. I have tried getting the specific driver...

Thought this already sent.... Well I gave up.

@Wyatt The Printing Gods are not for mere mortals like us. A firewall (although the printer is already recognized)?

@Wyatt in the browser; type "localhost:631" and the ipp config page should open? Did you try that one already?

Progress bars in Linux File Managers are big fat liars. They say they're done transferring something, but are they really? No.

Stop lying to me, Linux.

@thelinuxcast When you insert the Ventoy, eager to install that iso, and it doesn't show up.

I think the lack of a good screenshot utility is what's going to get me to leave behind. The default one is not great, and none of the others that work on Wayland work for me on Gnome. Get the same errors with grim/slurp and flameshot.

Everyone is so up in arms about the 'recall' that's about to be baked into Windoze. Let me remind you that, during the pandemic, this thing was already widely rolled out in Teams and used by almost every company to spy on their remote employees, keystrokes, activity and all. All companies conveniently forgot to turn that off, until now. And no, I am not a tin-foil hat kinda guy, just a realist.

peppe,

@thelinuxcast Nah, let's agree to disagree on that one :birthdaymsn:

peppe,
@peppe@fosstodon.org avatar

@thelinuxcast It's not better or worse; it has been there for a long time already. The divide between work and personal privacy is non-existent. What's different is the guts of MS to speak openly about it as a feature. But hey, call it AI and it's fine 🤣

@thelinuxcast Matt, is there a specific extension in Gnome you use to place application windows on specific workspaces? Like Ff always opens on 1, terminal on 2 etc.? I've tried out a couple, like Automove Windows, but I'd like the focus to move with it. Possibly you found a better one?

peppe,
@peppe@fosstodon.org avatar

@thelinuxcast Well, exactly, they are a part of my workflow basically anywhere else, including kde. Thanks for the comeback, we'll muddle on 😎

Note to myself (after reinventing the wheel): on MicroOS you can layer applications by using 'sudo transactional-update pkg install {program-name}'. Big gripe by users is you have to reboot, and with 6 or 7 programs that's annoying (htop, fastfetch, mc, micro, you get it).
So: install the first program with the command above, don't reboot. Then install the others one by one with: 'sudo transactional-update --continue pkg install {program-name}'. When finished with all reboot. Done.

@thelinuxcast @peterkotrcka But of course we never use those overlays anyway. At least we shouldn't, but that's not IRL 🤣 That's what i like about BlueBuild, i 'bake' those items into my image beforehand.
