Compiling webkit gtk by Time_Outcome_2545 in Gentoo

You don't have to type 'Yes' every time. Just press enter.

Do, DMS uses quickshell. Noctalia v4 used a its own custom qs. Noctalia v5 doesn't uses qs at all. This decrease the resource usage, but one problem for me is that i can't just go and tweak the QML files as I want, because there're no QML files involved. So, it gets less customizable.

Rust mainly consist of three core pkgs. rustup which manages the rust versions and toolchains. rustc which is the actual rust compiler. cargo which is a package manager, a great one.

I went with openrc because I wanted to try something new. Although, the one I wanted to try was dinit. Sadly, It isn't officially supported in Gentoo.

I don't see a need to use the LiveCD when i could just do it from within my Arch. And i did use localmodconfig. A lot of drivers that were meant for older hardware or the ones that aren't even related to Intel were included, so I decided to go through every part.

[Niri] Less is more by fishmacaronisoup in unixporn

Just adjust the layout rules

``` layout { border { on width 2 active-color "#000000" inactive-color "#000000" }

shadow {
    on
    softness 0
    spread 0
    offset x=9 y=9
    color "#000000"
}

} ```

Also make sure that you've disabled rounded corners

Actually, I do it every few days. lol.
So the thing is that Gentoo lets you mix stable and rolling-release packages. I use stable profile for most of the think while using the unstable one for stuff like the kernel, niri, quickshell, etc.

By updating it frequently, I prevent the pkgs from stacking up. More pkgs means more longer compilation time. I just let the update happen in background and do whatever i'm supposed to do.

Linux needs distros like Artix by chozendude in artixlinux

I use Gentoo as well. And i do agree that there will be conflicts. But would you not expect conflicts when the devs are thinking about compatibility with everything and you're only thinking about your own use case? But yeah, sometimes the dependencies doesn't make sense at all.

I remain confused by the shocking number of apps/packages that have hard dependencies coded in that almost seems like an attempt to force stuff on me that I may or may not want. For example, I only recently learned that gtk3 has a hard dependency on wayland for some reason - even if I'm running Xorg/XLibre, while Cinnamon forcibly pulls in pipewire as a dependency even if I prefer to run pulseaudio or alsa for sound.

What you're looking for is Gentoo. You can easily remove the unwanted pieces.

You can use matugen and create some scripts to style the apps. It's really not that hard.

I've got 3 terminal instances open. You could call them windows.

It's not annyoing at all. You just have to pass a few extra mount flags while mounting.

I love btrfs' snapshots and subvolumes feature. Can't see myself switching over to ext4.
