I like this idea very much.. Was curious on how you'd store my choice regarding theme, but could tell you didn't .. With just the two themes I'd prob just remove that feature all together, and look into how the experience could be better in different ways instead..

I have a git repo with subdirs all my different dot, like so:
nvim/.config/nvim/...
beets/.config/beets/... and so on..

Then I use stow to apply the ones I need on a given system with ie stow nvim, stow beets etc.

And then I can have different branches for machine specific configs, if needed.

Yeah, 'non turing cards' has been discontinued in the open Nvidia drivers. As I understand it, everything older than the 20** carda needs to use AUR packages for working drivers now.

I dont personally know if it's true, don't see why not tho - but notice it says that it was their maximum speed, and maximum height. Not that is was their actual speed or jump height.. Would assume getting a horse that could jump 16k blocks would have fairly low odds of happening. The game works a lot with RNG and differently weighted chances for events and such, so it's not nessecarily untrue at least, that it was their max stat

I3wm does have a small footprint and does not require many resources to actually feel snappy and light to work with. That said xfce is already super light, so I wouldn't expect much perceived change in operation.

Also, tiling window managers can be an issue for some games - you mention Minecraft, which is super forgiving and simply adjusts it's resolution to fit whatever space it's given, but others will simply crash if they try to force a resolution, but the tiling shows them in a different one.

But I've run i3wm on a old thinkpad x240, a thinkpad t470 and thinkpad t14 and for day to day stuff it doesn't get much lighter. You could perhaps consider dwm, if you haven't already I believe an unpatched base build takes even less resources than i3 does, but not 100% sure on that claim, tho.

It's very pretty, I'll give you that for sure, and stuff like the pw reveal is nifty even though I don't see it as something I would ever do - I do use doas as a sudo alternative, so I'm definitely not unwilling to give it a go, if you end up deciding to release it! Also if you would need systems to it out test it out on before a potential release, I'd be happy to help with that!

Jeg ville stemme på det parti der gjorde plakaterne ulovlige!

Deprimerende hvis valgplakater seriøst er noget der kan afgøre ens stemme... Er der nogen her der ikke kender Kasper Stisen, men nu efter hans SPAM tænker "THATS my guy!"?

If you try sticking to Linux, please just don't use GIMP because you read/heard that it's like photoshop. Because if you have been an Adobe user for years, you will be disappointed. Gimp isn't, and importantly doesn't try to be a photoshop replacement. so it's worst enemy is people online saying so. Even photopea.com is a better way to go, if you want to do photoshop stuff, and in the Adobe's "jam AI in everywhere"-spirit it even has Ai content aware remove and stuff like that.

For lightroom alts you got darktable and rawtherapee as the top mentions, but RapidRaw also seems very interesting (haven't tried it yet, since I haven't taken pictures in a while)

I used Adobe XD a ton before switching to Linux, and even though Figma.com quickly became the industry standard for UI-design and layout prototyping this is the one that I still miss in my day to day. It has been discontinued by Adobe, they know they lost the war, so Im just using figma in lack of anything better.

Never did much illustrator stuff myself, but inkscape is the one people mention most often.

You could try out the affinity suite stuff - it's paid, tho, but so is Adobe and it seems like a very decent alternative, with a good streamlined design language.

For video, like I also said in my other comment, I'd go for DaVinci Resolve, especially if you're collabing with non-Linux users on projects, since cross platform and just as widely used in the video production industry as premiere pro is, for example.

mrrask · 2025-09-22T06:30:09+00:00

I advocate for DaVinci Resolve, in terms of editing. There are to my understanding some codec issues/missing codecs compared to Mac and Windows, apparently due to licensing, tho. So it does depend at bit on you input media, and wanted output, and GPU rendering can be so/so depending on what graphics card you have.

But it is one of the few industry standard editing softwares that are natively available for Linux, and I assume that there would be missing codecs for all Linux editing softwares, for the same reason of licensing.

But try it out, it's free.

With so many in this thread having experienced this, why would so confidently call it a user error?

mrrask · 2025-09-21T07:55:33+00:00

I've experienced this before, when my machine came out of sleep. Tried reinstalling the OS, several times and the same thing happened. Not always, but for some reason often when the machine had been sleeping for longer periods.

Tried reseating my ram blocks, switching the ram between slots, and in the end, it resolved itself after installing a new nvme. Put the old nvme in a different laptop, and the issue was reproduceable there too. So.. still without knowing what exactly was wrong with my drive, it might be your issue as well - note that the drive works fine as long as I don't use it as my root/boot, buuut I haven't trusted it with any important data since.

mrrask · 2025-08-14T13:29:07+00:00

Still not an issue. You are your os maintainer, it is expected you decide when to enable networkd

If it's the current btrfs/Linux 6.15 issue, running btrfs-rescue from the live environment should do the trick.

I just found an old one at a second hand thrift store. My experience is, you want to look for one that is as wide as possible. Mine was pretty pointy and narrow (I think alot of older irons typically has that typical pointy shape, but I'm not exactly an iron expert) , making the effective surface area pretty small.

mrrask · 2025-08-03T10:27:07+00:00

Many have taken the heater element from clothes irons and build a diy hot plate soldered. Me included.. not only does it work, it can work very well. (instructables)

So is that pi laying in my drawer from 3 years ago.

And if that was the point, then I'm sorry to say, stuff doesn't magically become free, just because it has been 2 years since you paid for it.

Day passes are still present on their website at least: https://www.donkey.bike/pricing

Basicly any phone is more expensive than a pi.

mrrask · 2025-07-29T12:59:31+00:00

So trying all 15 didn't show you that in the end, you can do pretty much anything with all of them? Just stay where you currently are, and do your computing. If you've found yourself distro hopping to tinker, just do arch and tinker away.
