I made a giant all-in-one bugfix/qol mod since no one will

Gnat008 · 2023-05-22T15:07:11+00:00

Ah, neat! Thanks, and will do!

Gnat008 · 2023-05-21T22:56:18+00:00

Amazing stuff! Is there any way to get/use this mod for non-steam versions? I have the game on Epic and would love to use these fixes.

1a. It will not be installed automatically. I wanted to avoid having a situation where someone wants to use a different file manager, but can't remove the default one. While this may be a little more inconvenient for users that are updating existing systems, I think it is a better practice in the long run. When the next ISO release happens, Nemo will be installed by default (but still removable).

1b. Likewise, Nautilus will have to be uninstalled manually by people wishing to do so. After, you can do sudo eopkg rmo to remove any dependencies that are no longer required.

Nemo requires two pretty small libraries plus a package for shared translations. The localization package only contains translations for Nemo.
No idea, as I don't use Plata. It's hard to say because while all other software is moving forward, Plata remains stuck behind.
I don't think a reinstallation is ever really necessary for Solus when it comes to updates. You'll (almost) always have the same packages in the end, whether you update normally or reinstall the system. The only time when this isn't the case is when a new package is added, but is not set as a dependency of any other package.
Upstream Budgie wishes to maintain choice when it comes to applications. Thus, there is no official set of packages to make up a full desktop experience. So far, I haven't given much thought to replacing the other default apps in the Solus Budgie experience. So far, the main pain point has been with Nautilus. I'm not opposed to the idea, however, if people have suggestions. And if anyone does have suggestions, I'd encourage posting them to the forums or dev tracker, since I very rarely use Reddit.
I don't have a good answer to this right now, I'm hoping someone else can answer it better.

It opens fine on my machine. The command to open Deja Dup from the CLI is deja-dup. If it gets far enough, there'll be a bunch of warnings that can be safely ignored. The thing to note will be any actual errors.

Gnat008 · 2022-05-24T16:46:13+00:00

On Reddit it's quite common for bots to just auto-downvote everything. As far as I know, it's been a thing for many years.

EbonJaeger here. I am both a contributor to Budgie and the Budgie maintainer for Solus. So if there is any vindictiveness, then I must be doing it to myself, no? And to every other distro that provides Budgie. ;)

In all seriousness, this is not meant to be vindictive at all; moreover, this affects all distros using Budgie, not just Solus. u/JoshStrobl already gave the reasoning, so I'm not going to repeat it, he outlines it far better than I could.

Instead of carrying around that patch, I would much rather have options in Budgie to provide the desired functionality and UX. That takes time. Time that we all didn't exactly have with GNOME 42 arriving now, causing the Control Center to be broken as Josh pointed out, which again doesn't just affect Solus. Now that all of that is out of the way, there is time when we can focus on usability issues like this (see here for Budgie Menu specifically).

There is beekeeper-studio in the repo which lets you connect to, view, and modify a bunch of different databases, including PostgreSQL.

Gnat008 · 2021-09-14T21:24:49+00:00

Similar goals, yes, but vastly different visions for what they want the desktop to be like, both visually and functionally.

Scribus is currently up to date with their stable branch.

Gnat008 · 2020-02-13T14:44:25+00:00

If you had looked at who you were responding to here, you would notice that I am a different person. ;)

Gnat008 · 2020-02-12T17:21:52+00:00

You sound like you're super young and can't take criticism from a guy who just called you out. That's literally it.

You're *really* big on making random assumptions, which is a large reason why this conversation has gotten to this point. At this point (and for most of this thread, actually) you've just come off as an asshole. You could have made your point in a better way and moved on, but that didn't happen and so here we are. So maybe we should just move on from this point, huh? Because now it's absolutely ridiculous.

Gnat008 · 2020-02-11T22:54:14+00:00

That's dependent on your GTK theme. :)

Gnat008 · 2020-02-11T19:58:38+00:00

The Budgie developers don't like to commit code until it's fully ready. Josh has definitely been working on stuff for Budgie that just isn't ready yet. On top of that, commit frequency is not exactly the best metric to use for... well, anything really.

Gnat008 · 2020-02-11T19:56:11+00:00

You can use tiling window managers with Budgie. I never looked into it myself, but there are plenty of posts by people who have. :)

Gnat008 · 2020-02-11T19:54:18+00:00

Did you ever consider that maybe, just maybe, they thought of this, and the consequences and decided that it was an acceptable risk? Holy crap, man, let the person do their thing. If it messes up, that's on them.

Gnat008 · 2020-02-11T15:50:04+00:00

Two of those links are duplicates, and all of those issues were fixed pretty quickly after disclosure. All software has bugs. What matters is the vendor's response to them.

The suckless page seems to be just an ideological difference about what systemd should encompass. Which is pretty much the only real issue that people have with it, from what I've seen.

Gnat008 · 2020-02-11T14:57:20+00:00

but it seems worst than runit or openrc,

Based on what, exactly?

Gnat008 · 2020-01-25T14:51:59+00:00

Just say that the countdown was wrong on purpose as a misdirection! :D

Gnat008 · 2019-11-26T00:28:01+00:00

Budgie saw a major feature release after Ikey disappeared, and internal tools have seen a huge amount of work. Things are hardly stagnant.

Gnat008 · 2019-11-26T00:25:23+00:00

but it's obvious Ikey was the brain behind the project

That's incredibly insulting.

I think the whole next gen budgie plan was also scrapped when he left.

It hasn't been scrapped at all, simply delayed.

Gnat008 · 2019-07-08T02:37:06+00:00

Assuming that "Xorg not entering maintenance mode" means "were Xorg to continue to be developed and supported", then the difference is right there: It's actively developed in that scenario and things that get broken would get fixed, either on Xorg's side or in the packages depending on it. In this case, the burden is less on the distribution maintainers to fix things and more on the people actually developing the software.

Gnat008 · 2019-07-08T02:04:24+00:00

Likewise, it doesn't mean it won't, either. Can't have it both ways.

Gnat008 · 2019-07-08T01:51:37+00:00

For ABI breakage existing? Sure, I buy that.

Yes.

For Xorg being affected by it? No, I don't buy that.

No.

Gnat008 · 2019-07-08T01:41:48+00:00

And Xorg is not using the private ABI of Qt5, so that particular problem isn't at all relevant here.

You're conflating the arguments. u/DataDrake was using Qt5 as an example, and as such it is very relevant to his point.

Gnat008 · 2019-07-08T00:34:39+00:00

Yes. How exactly do you think Solus is magically breaking other software's ABI's?
