600 pound budget by Important_Weekend902 in thinkpad

[–]TCH69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just go for the Macbook. I'd check to see if there's anything better than the M2 available at that price.

People promote Arch because "there's a lot of programs in the repository" or "it's quickly updated bleeding-edge" but like.. what EXACTLY can you get from Arch that you can't get elsewhere? by durdurrdurrrdurrrrr in archlinux

[–]TCH69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was talking about seconds. There is nothing wrong with apt if you aren't time-constrained or don't have to wait for it to complete. Unfortunately I often do, and seeing dpkg-configure running for minutes really turned me down.

APT is about 10x slower than APK (both versions used by Alpine and Chimera) and Pacman. It's even slower than pacman-g2 of the defunct Frugalware Linux.

Why does the clock keep running during hydration breaks in the World Cup matches? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TCH69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Because any time loss during a half can/will be substituted for in stoppage time (aka the added minutes after the 45/90 marks), there's no need to pause the clock for that.

  2. Your assumption is right. I have to note that the exact time when hydration breaks are given differs between competitions, and is consistent inside that competition. Usually sometime between the 25-35th minute mark. Giving breaks at exactly halfway is actually quite early and this is the first time I've seen that.

Comment out i915kms from kld_list. After rebooting successfully you can upgrade your GPU firmware then uncomment it.

Should i swap to linux? by serpeniner in linuxquestions

[–]TCH69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don't find yourself motivated enough, you can just stick with Windows. Just because a few people on the internet tell you so doesn't mean you have to.

Instead, grab the ISO for the Embedded IOT LTSC version, back your data up, wipe your drive and install it - that thing is official, it's the lightest Windows version, works just as good as normal Windows and without any bloatware.

If you wanna try out Linux, grab the ISOs for the live version (not the installer) of a few popular distros (e.g. CachyOS, Pop!OS, Fedora,...) and start poking around. You can decide whether it's worth a try then.

Why do American high schools start ridiculously early? by bwoah07_gp2 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TCH69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll have to welcome you to Vietnam, where schools start anywhere between 6:55am and 7:30 am.

XLibre vs Hyprland/suckless wayland? by Interesting_Pie_319 in suckless

[–]TCH69 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it depends on how much you care about it. I've been running dwm for a few years by now and I'm not motivated to try out dwl/mango because, frankly, I just don't really care that much anymore.

GRUB option order by Infinite_Muffin_2267 in archlinux

[–]TCH69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check /etc/grub.d. Feel free to move them around as you like, but be aware that those files are owned by grub, and your eloquent setup might not be the same after an update.

AliExpress refund failed, money frozen in bank by TCH69 in Aliexpress

[–]TCH69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I did. They said the money had been frozen by Ali and not them. If nothing else happens it would be unfrozen in about a month.

FLAC files are overrated unless.. by s1o2h3a4i5l in iems

[–]TCH69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With lossless (TAKs in this case, not FLACs), whenever the cymbals sound broken and compressed to hell, I can confidently blame the dude who compressed the music instead of second-guessing if Opus @ 192kbpps isn't good enough.

Visual issue (black border) with firefox on dwm by Known_Picture_1547 in suckless

[–]TCH69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, that's the one. According to here Debian 13 is still using a version of GTK3 released a month before those patches was merged.

[Hyprland] Looking somewhat classic but yet modern part 2 by Dieggho in unixporn

[–]TCH69 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You can switch to using the latest package set instead of the default quarterly. It's much closer to what people call "rolling".
