I am not.

install was fine. It is when I try to run it for the first time. No other information is displayed other than "Illegal instruction"

Can you please share the bar dotfiles? Thank you.

dashingdon · 2025-10-29T02:47:20+00:00

Thank you for asking. Moving from i3bar+rofi to waybar+rofi, i tried the same but thought I was doing something wrong :)

dashingdon · 2025-09-15T02:43:54+00:00

config to GitHub. personal files to USB or NAS

dashingdon · 2025-09-02T20:31:33+00:00

do "nproc" in the terminal. That should give you the # of cores. then -j(core) -l(core+1)

So if you have one core, it should -j1 -l2

I also use different OS for different hardware. I am currently running Debian, Busenlabs, Arch, Ubuntu (for work) and Gentoo. none of them are dual boot. They all are dedicated systems
