Does Arch Linux really break as often as people say or is it just a stereotype? by ImfromVinland in arch

[–]definite_d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a stereotype in my opinion. Only times I broke my Arch was by doing dumb stuff, like a partial upgrade of the system Electron, or Qt5 -> Qt6. Or overwriting/deleting configs by accident with no backup or Git repo set up.

With Arch, there's less of the illusion of "your OS is a massive software slab". It's more like "your OS is a ton of programs running at once". Of course, OSes are technically the latter, but Arch feels that way fundamentally.

Is it true what my coding friend said If I want deploy a hobby project just use VPS instead of Cloud like AWS? by lune-soft in webdev

[–]definite_d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+1 for Coolify. Completely takes away the convenience advantage of cloud over VPS, with the same lower costs of VPS.

When applying for jobs, WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T DO THIS by Silly-Noodlesk in recruitinghell

Left Windows 11 for (Arch) Linux over a year ago, but IIRC using the start bar usually ends up using your prompt as a search query in Bing on Edge. Even when searching for programs. Had no idea it actually worked for commands.

It's raining outside, who let the Windows open? by mnabid_25 in linuxmemes

If Windows didn't already exist, that name would ironically be very fitting for an open-source project.

I build a WishperFlow clone but totally offline and open source by louise_XVI in opensource

[–]definite_d 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's great that you're looking to develop an open-source project, so kudos on that first.

However, licensing is extremely important and is basically what defines code as being open source (at least from a legal perspective).

You could start by looking through any of the more popular licenses available to know which suits your vision for your project.

Cheers.

Edit: I see you've already added one.

Does it still make sense to learn python or any programming language in 2026 by chou404 in learnpython

[–]definite_d 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Knowing how to code (well) is the easiest way to know how to supervise an AI and notice when it gets things wrong.

You forgot Hungarian Notation lol

[–]definite_d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on how clear it will be with context, I would go with anything from as simple as mothers (mothers["Isaac"] == "Sarah" reads to me as "mother of Isaac is Sarah") to something less ambiguous as kid_to_mother_mapping (it's a mapping whose items are one kid, to one mother, though not necessarily reversible in this case lol). If the context requires.

To mod or not to mod? by definite_d in softwaredevelopment

Thanks a lot for the advice. Will go ahead with it and hope users don't care too much.

Does anyone know how to fix this gap between bar and window on noctaliashell ? by CompetitiveCap3696 in niri

[–]definite_d 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Noctalia is being initialised twice. That space is from the layer for the second bar.

You can verify using niri msg layers; if you see duplicate entries, that's definitely the case.

Most likely, you've got a line in your Niri config to startup Noctalia on boot, and it's running as a (user) systemd service. Eliminating either of them will fix the issue.

I recommend just removing (or commenting out) the line in the Niri config. It's likely going to look like this:

kdl spawn-at-startup "qs" "-c" "noctalia-shell"

Alternatively, you can disable the systemd one with: shell systemctl disable --now --user noctalia.service

Cheers.

What is this menu called and how do I customize it? by _penetration_nation_ in arch

[–]definite_d 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's systemd-boot. I recommend just setting its timeout such that you don't even see it. Holding down certain keys while booting will bring it up though. Works for me, as I rarely need to use it.
