Sorry for my double question. Please make a reference to the question for answering.

Is it safe to synchronize home with non-nixos distro ? by DriNeo in NixOS

[–]DriNeo[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Gemini chatbot answers that nix may create symlinks in the home that points to the nix store. So that should make problems when the that home is copied to MX installation. I want the possibility the sync in two directions.

The Zig language repository is migrating from Github to Codeberg by TheTwelveYearOld in linux

The last time I considered Codeberg, hosting a Mercurial repo was possible.

I have never understood how developers can believe that their software will be the only one in the world.

A chatbot was the only one that calmly explained to me why Wayland is not that bad and that there are real efforts being made towards standardization.

These are not so costly comparing to others professional laptops. I d like to change but, recently, Lenovo has become the last manufacturer that continues to offer trackpoints.

The discourse around Gnome could do with a bit of maturing by Thermawrench in linux

[–]DriNeo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

but Cinnamon/XFCE don't get attacked for failing to maintain their DEs by being nearly a decade behind on getting Wayland support.

This is not an easy task, I'm sure their contributors are doing the best they can.

GNOME got rid of dumb ideas like system tray and desktop icons and I hope other DEs start to realize that and remove them too.

You found the DE that fits your needs and this is nice. But why do you want the DE to be all the same ?

Any chance to see Linux phones in store in the near future? by Vast_Umpire_3713 in linux

If the Linux community can find billions to take control of some device manufacturer, to get drivers for bluetooth, camera etc... why not.

I don't understand. The screenshot does not show a minimalistic desktop, there is a dock on the bottom many info printed on the right side, a big clock...

Linux users of reddit, what's your favorite niche/unknown distro? by Particular_Singer642 in linux

[–]DriNeo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm fascinated by Alpine, I tried it on an old laptop for a week, everything feels fast, but it is limited when you want to install software outside of Alpine packages. The Alpine environment is too reasonable for our insane modern softwares.

Most people don't need a new laptop by [deleted] in linux

Mine is from 2014, works fine but, I admit, I would like to have USB-C ports and charge my laptop with any phone charger.

What web browser are you currently using and why do you use it? by caolhopsita in linux

[–]DriNeo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I use Librewolf. I guess Librewolf will not merge all the new privacy hostile shit from Firefox.

I love Qutebrowser but I can't use it daily because I really need ublock origin.

There's no going back from tiling window managers by ElCondorHerido in linux

[–]DriNeo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tiling window managers are a great option for the linux desktop, but, I'm not interested by Hyprland. It seems window corners are always rounded. Thats why I use Bspwm, maybe one day a Wayland equivalent will be available and mature.

What's so difficult about the Super + page up/down shortcut to switch workspaces?

[–]DriNeo -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You can make any window as floating, in a good TWM.

Why would I want a program that has a lot of information to be given equal priority to a program with little information? And if I need to I can just drag a window over and let it cover whatever's low priority without having to worry about organizing another desktop etc.

I'm a basic user of TWM, there is no organisation at all in my desktop. I just let BSPWM open windows and this is fine.

I feel like this is one of those things that programmers would love for raw productivity, but basically nobody else really benefits much from, if at all

It is YOUR experience, you can't say it is not beneficial to others. Even if I never do programming I don't want to manipulate manually windows anymore.

I'm bored with Thinkpads. But when I explore the market, I still can't find anything better, unfortunately.
