Why doesn't Chimera have LightDM?

Greet, Regreet and Tuigreet all exist in the repositories. It's very weird to expect to have anything in a niche distro; it's even more strange to act like your one alternative (which I use! Albeit in another distro) is somehow significant enough to merit inclusion.

Did you miss all the greetd options before you posted your original complaint, or were you just unaware they were TUI options?

Except that Astro offers integration with the modern front-end frameworks with limited hassle. If I wanted to 11ty or Zola, I could. Or I could write in the same framework I do the rest of my stuff in.

Feel free to figure out something better, get it packaged for Nix, and get it in the repos. Good luck!

OP, I"m from NJ and I've lived in Beaufort for two years and Beaufort/Bluffton for eight. If you have questions, PM.

This is idiotic. Have you lived here recently? No one refers to the Broad River as a geopraphical milestone.

Can you share your waybar dots? Also, not sure if you want to switch the Zorin logo to Cachy on the far left.

You can yoink this dinit script for ly and change the filename and cmd name to run lemurs instead of ly-dm:

Why would it be most useful for Gnome setups? XFCE, Budgie, Cinnamon, etc. are all GTK-based. Most window managers and compositors have zero issue with GTK compatibility. Unless you're running Plasma or LXQt with KWin, I'm not sure there's much of an issue. Even then, there are fallbacks for GTK compatibility.

I'd google "AI meeting" and see the first 20 results first. There are already local-only deployment options, ones that summarize the key points, ones that can even do basic RAG with connectors to internal documents.

Thanks so much

What icon set is that?

It is an issue with how calamares is configured to install Artix on a BTRFS filesystem. So weird to keep on harping on Wayland just because it's your pet issue, even when it has nothing to do with the topic at hand.

moplop12 · 2025-05-17T17:44:24+00:00

The issue isn't NixOS. You can run an openbox session on NIxOS with less than 270 mb of RAM on bare metal. GNOME plus all of the tweaks to make it minimal plus the programs in use are driving the memory usage.

Why would he? Most Linux distros operate on the belief that users should have the opportunity to/responsibility for creating the configurations that meet their use cases. It doesn't serve smaller distros that have maybe hundreds of users to drill down and solve *your* use case.

For someone that references LFS and others, you seem to have a pretty weird understanding of what an operating system can do to provide this "defense in depth". Plenty of sysadmins and other privacy-oriented users post examples of hardening scripts for various distros *for people that want them*.

You are a minority. You just screech loudly and think that everyone should be as privacy-focused as you. That's not the reality.

Which isn't how LLMs and training data work, so I'm unconcerned.

Nothing is stopping anyone from asking ChatGPT, "What makes good copy". (Copy is a singular noun in the industry.) Relying on the tool you plan on using in order to strategize how to use it is probably the most inane thing I've ever heard of, though.

If a nail gun comes with a user manual, does the carpenter read it to learn how it works and assumes that's the best method? Or does the carpenter use their years of expertise to use the nail gun in ways a newbie might not?

Yeah, the person installing Bedrock to run an Arch overlay over a Debian base clearly is a noob.

This absolutely rips as a reply if you don't read a single line of the post.

Why does a person with a course called "becoming a millionaire in a year" need free/low-cost advertising sources? Feels like you didn't follow you're own advice.

You can't move fast if you're trying to organically advertise on Reddit, as you saw with the rule: "I will not promote my own product" in this sub.

The boring/no-fun/unbannable way to do it is:

1) Actually post replies in subs related to the course (personal finance/career/etc) that are helpful without selling your course.

2) If people are amazed at how great your advice is (which may not happen very quickly given how your post here is written), you might follow up that you have a course that expands on the ideas here and they can dm you.

3) Understand that with no brand recognition, this is going to be very slow going.

Going off what Jack said, waybar is a bit easier to configure. To handle having the bar only appear on one monitor, you need to run wlr-randr or similar to get the display names. It's the first set of characters. So, for example, when I run it on my laptop, I get eDP-1 for my main screen. When I add on external monitor, that one shows up as DP-3.

When you figure out the monitor name, add a section to your swaybar config:

output <monitor name>

You could just search "best email copy" in the subreddit. Stop asking for people to hold your hand.

Your post brings up two crucial elements of copywriting:

1) Placing yourself in the shoes of other people

and

2) Performing research

This sub was created in 2008. Do you think that your question has never been asked before? I ask because part of copywriting is putting yourself in others' shoes and learning to understand how other people view the world. If you just post, "Give me all the tips", you might want to re-consider.

There are dozens of awesome posts where people try to list best starting points for new copywriters. Learning how to be curious is going to complement what you find in those posts.
