Last Notes npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer No, I haven't, but that's the power of the Ublue template: very easy to fork and adjust. There's quite a lot out there. This specific one hasn't been updated for a while and it bases off the deprecated cosmic image. But it's a cool idea! npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer It was just a matter of time. Introducing my new composable Cosmix-Saigon :birthdaymsn: npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer Thnx for your comeback. I know shit happens, we deal with it and that's it. I certainly don't want you to be stressing out over it; my guess is that there is enough of that for the mods anyway. npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer Well, that may all be very quick or hasty, but the lack of feedback from the fosstodon team (at least visible to me) for the last 24 hours is baffling. Expect a reconnect from me soon 😄 npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer On the grand scale of things Liverpool's championship outweighs everything. Well done Reds! npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer I already call it like that in my slackpkg 😄 And I like it as well because it gives some cred to you. And yes, I know, I know, but still it is a great effort you're putting in providing great sw to us geeks out here in the wild 😎 And anyone who can keep me on any distro/ spin for almost 10 months needs to be called out 🤣 npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer Well, I was speaking about removal as a Fosstodon moderator, Reddit I won't touch anyway. The Fosstodonites have been a decent bunch afaic and so far, so I'll take their word for it. npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer Yes, I'll publish when 7 is in there, it's based off the official Fedora Cosmic Atomic spin, so well supported. But they'll put it through their testing first anyway, so I expect it in the next week. npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer yes, there must be a reason why LQ blocks traffic from Vietnam. Afraid of my snarky remarks 😜 Can read it with a VPN obviously, but don't really bother. Speaking of a funny bunch btw. npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer no, they didn't update it yet, but my repo is ready and working. Of course the Pruner was around to help out a bit 🤠 npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer You are pushing me! 😜 Think I'm gonna publish Cosmix quickly, giving the impression I'm too busy for Lxqt 🥳 npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer I prefer not to either. I'll give it a couple of days, see where the cabal goes. Since I'm not actively following this it might have been resolved by now, at least for me. npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer Thnx Luca, good to hear & let's watch and see how this all plays out over the next couple of days. npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer What it boils down to (and this is the management summary, so I cut corners for brevity): a mod on fosstodon has been going off the rails on other social media. And indeed bat shit crazy. He/she has been removed. The response of the fosstodon team to all this has been a bit too muted to the liking of others. I didn't delve any deeper, but some instances have been defederating fosstodon over this. npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer yes, I did and it was so so. Not really worth your time. Agree with you on those returning series, it usually turns out disappointing. Better nurture that great memory. npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer When you choose a new instance and it also has a number of moderation issues 🙄 npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer Great you have Justified on there! Just yesterday I was talking with a friend - fellow - binger about Raylan Givens Great series. Nice list! As a certified binger my list would exceed the character limit 😎 npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer Waiting for alpha 7 to come down to Fedora and thus into Universal Blue. My spin has been rolled and is ready to go 😎 npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer Invoke chaos 😄🍻 npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer We've all been waiting for your return 😄 At least I missed our techno-rumbles 😎 npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer Thanks for sharing; the first paragraphs were already great to read. Added as well! npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer With the arrival of alpha 7 you can certainly count on Cosmix-Saigon to appear shortly. Already running alpha 6 on Trialix, my test repo. Once the main ublue image has been updated I'll spin up Cosmix. Keep y'all in the loop! npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer The shopping 🛒 for today contained some IPA, nuts, cheese crackers and a bottle of bourbon. It's obvious my SO is out for much of the weekend 😆😎 npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer I can officially confirm the Vietnamese have reached a new noise level. Not only are they video calling at full volume (basically shouting at each other), but they do now on the speaker so the conversation is here in fourfold, clanging through the airspace. Refreshing. npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer You know Dr. Scissors, my master Pruner alter-ego can only agree to disagree 🤣 Although I generally like some theming also. That's why the Slackware SDDM theme is so nice. Can't stand it if distros don't add their own. As for Artix: it's the Arch way baby! npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer The main reason for me to step away from arm, a throwback to 1992. And your themes are a pling.com away 😜 They're probably also in the Extra repo ( or any other, you can add all) npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer I wonder. Would the Germans also use 'Katze /etc/fstab'? And the Spaniards 'gato'? npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer so far, so good. I added the 'extra' repository of Arch, but that was only for nitrogen, pamixer and nwg-look. Flatpak, pipewire, micro, libreoffice, the 3 Arch kernels etc etc are all available in the Artix repos. I use it for x11, with dwm, so that's easy. npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer It was quiet on the South-East-Asian front. But dinit on Artix was a bit barebones; I got spoiled by the great implementation on Chimera Linux. But grabbing the OpenRC iso delivered a great, good old dwm experience. How come I never did this before? Because you largely get the Arch software, and a repo is added quickly enough. I use Artx btw! npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer Sorry to hear that, Matt. Genuinely crazy what you had to endure. Keep on rocking, bud! npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer Great Jay! Although by now I've retweaked my Slack to such perfection that I won't touch it for now 😜 But I'll put it on the Ventoy anyway 🥳 npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer You won't be disappointed, OpenRC works great. 👻 npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer A very informative video by DJ Ware, testing 25.04. The informative part is not in Ubuntu, but in some new systemd shenanigans. I ain't no systemd basher (neither is DJ Ware btw), but this is interesting, to say the least. Good it arrived whilst I'm setting up Artix, with dinit 😎 But that's bcs I liked dinit since my Chimera Linux adventure. npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer Yep, that's what I call a hybrid, absolutely a favorite setup for me! npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer Ding dong! For Obelix and Idefix (my images for Gnome and Nwg-shell Hyprland and Sway) I have just included Homebrew. No more cli stuff in the image, just brew it! Asterix (based on Aurora KDE) already had it ootb. Catch up at github/thesaigoneer. Happy brewing! 🍻 npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer https://get.opensuse.org/leapmicro/6.1/ has way more information. Btw, Aurora has homebrew and I've just added it to my Gnome and Hyprland nwg-shell spins. Cool stuff indeed ! Burn, baby, burn 🔥 npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer Yep, there's another rabbithole for you: MicroOS for RPI, and use Combustion (from what I've just read). Pfff, a lot to catch up with. npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer I learned I could stand one 36 minutes compile of llvm, but certainly not another one next week or so 😄 npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer I had a go at T2 bcs I got weary with the compile times of Gentoo. That train of thought was a mistake 😆 npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer well, on their x86 iso there's homebrew. On Aurora I think there's not. Bluefin LTS is another different sub project, using CentOS. Not to be mistaken for the Bluefin x86 LTS version, which is sth else. 🤣 I like the Fedora core images, with some automation added by UniversalBlue. But I prefer Aeon, very basic, up to date and distro box added. Plus the real flathub. Very secure also. If Richard Brown would add fastfetch, htop and mc in the core image I'd be perfect! npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer Nice write-up! For a quick start I can also recommend the generic archinstall script. But working through the paces like you did is way more satisfying ;-) Anyway, I know what to do with that spare partition now :birthdaymsn: npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer When you spend some time in GhostBSD and Mate and conclude that is basically all you need. No compiling, no difficult hoops to jump through, it just works. Mmmm, the end of geeking is nigh? Been there, done that. Noticed it with my cloud images this week also. So boring, they just work 🤣 npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer yes, and both deja dup and pika? Way too fluffed. Their base images are sparse though. You know me, I'll be heading down the 🐰 again. See if I can use an ublue fedora arm image, spin Assurancetourix Saigon. But first some T2 🤣🤪! npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer there's a reason I spin my own 🤣 how are 'generic' Fedora arm images working out for you? npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer Currently building all sorts of packages on T2 SDE. A fascinating system, where all is build from source. The base is already up and running and upgraded to the latest version. Now adding a package set to see it fully working. A mix of Gentoo, Guix and LFS install-wise, but it has it's own qualities and is highly automated and geeky. Great fun, who dares wins 😎 npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer My irritability keeps me alive - A Song from Under the Floorboards / Magazine 1980 npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer Thanx Jay, quicker than expected. All went well (again)! npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer Get well soon, Matt! npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer Fuck. I'm old, but what great music still! npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer Can't go wrong with dwm! Have to catch up with your patching info, looks worthwhile. I'm that lazy bugger who's using flexipatch 😉 npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer My educated guess is most people spend more time adding tasks to a tasklist than actually doing those tasks. npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer Rightly so, mate. It arrives when it arrives! npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer Leisure Suit Larry of course! Now that was fun on my Toshiba 8086 ;-) npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer Service Announcement: Asterix, Obelix and Idefix Saigon have all been updated to Fedora 42. That means images of my take on KDE, Gnome and Sway/Hyprland are now up for grabs. Atomic, composed, cloud native, whatever gets you going. Enjoy the ride! npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer My guess? This pulls sources from the likes of CentOS and probably brew is not available there. In x86 Bluefin they do add brew to the image. And I know Linux is being built by Appleites, brewing away on their MBP's 🤣 npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer Jay, you might have a look at this: https://universal-blue.discourse.group/t/bluefin-lts-alpha-for-arm/6545 There's also instructions how to get it booted on Mac. Who knows, but it's moving 🍻 npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer A busy day at MuppetLabs! Five days in and Obelix-Saigon has been rebuilt. At first it was based on Silverblue, but that added a bit too much fluff for me. So now it uses the base-main image, by Ublue, and I've added the quintessential Gnome on top. So: F42, Gnome 48, kernel 6.14.2, flatpak enabled and clocking in at around 1G of used RAM. The future has been made today 🤓 Read more here: npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer Stay on MacOS 🤣🤪 npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer No worries, but this ublue stuff is really dead simple. And fun. I'm gonna make that super clean gnomie later on, let you know of course 😄 npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer You never looked at my github 😭 😜 Here's the one for Asterix, my KDE spin. In build.sh you add or remove what you want. The Fedora packages site delivers the correct naming of the included rpm's. https://github.com/thesaigoneer/asterix-saigon npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer Yes, that's basically what I did with all my 3 atomic spins. You use the Universal Blue template, clone it into your own repo, choose a base image and adjust some scripts to your liking. npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer yes, they are part of the base Silverblue image, if you remove them (I tried of course) Gnome as a whole is removed. So I'll start building bit for bit, with just flatpaks added as an enabler of sw. npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer 🤣 absolutely! There are two items on the starting grid: my nix config for a bare Gnome, which states all required pkgs. And I've see a base-main UniversalBlue image. That'll be fun, combining the two 😉👻 npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer The ✂️ man is here again. Conversing with @npub16l0…f0y2 about slimmed down spins got me on the trail of an even more slender Obelix, my Gnome spin. If I can get that tour, help and parental controls ooti we are getting closer. Oh ja, ooti=out of the image 😆 npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer Mmmm, that shell user response is part of the entitled attitude that's killing open source. If you can use Hyprland and nwg-shell on Slackware, you can certainly edit a conf file. Crazy stuff. And yes, if it wasn't for you and your efforts I certainly wouldn't use KDE on Slackware. Much appreciated, I'll follow whatever is best for you. That suits me perfectly. npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer I start out with the generic stance that KDE5 is over and done with. Kudos to you for maintaining some still, but people have to move on. Same kind of discussion as 32bits computing. It's 2025. But hey, I'm young old and impatient 🤣 npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer Yes, that's true. I've adjusted my slackpkgplus.conf, but kept the slackar0ni name in 😅 As for Fedora: there's a reason also why UniversalBlue spins off from there. i just checked in on my Obelix (gnome spin), and it's a pleasure to run. Albeit that I had to remove some fluff of course 😂 npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer 🤣 spending three days in the slackar0ni whirlwind to end up where we came from. As long as we keep the cheesy repo name :birthdaymsn: npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer That's bloated imho 🤣 npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer No rush, all is good. Let me know, I've got that list of pkgs I remove from your install that gets me that lean KDE. Like how I roll Asterix myself. Take out Krusader and you've got that quintessential set that works 🤓 npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer No, no, I did everything in my existing install. For now. Once the new slackar0ni iso arrives I think I'll do a fresh install; going hybrid again: Slackware+cli tools+KDE6 from the repos; all applications as flatpaks. But that's really for later. Atm all is superbly up and running. I'll dive in that libvlc thing later, just dl'edyour package archive from mega! npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer very important obviously 🤣 been using your kde6 for the last year, always had krusader installed, probably ran into this, never bothered to fix it 😆 saved the txt file, so upon reinstall it's one slackpkg away npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer Re-adding 26 small K5 lib files enabled Krusader again 😅 List available upon request 😜 npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer openblas and gcc-fortran and spectacle works again :birthdaymsn: npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer Okie, thnx. I'll have a look later on and let you know 😎 npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer @npub16l0…f0y2 Starting the Gang of Three from the command line gives the following results: npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer Even RSS can't keep up with the speed of changes by Jay. Let alone us, mere mortals 😆 npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer In other news: the minute I want to get rid of Gentoo my dwm just works flawlessly. So, let's just hang on in there. For now. Zed is seriously challenging Geany as my go to simple editor. Looks like there's a difference between Vivaldi flatpak and from source. The latter (on Slackware, but it's a .deb) looks and works better. Tbc. The Gang of Four this week are Idefix and Obelix, cloud images for nwg-shell on hyprland and gnome, Slackeroni ( the best KDE, on Slackware) and Gentoo dwm. npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer Great to see Pinta updated. Such a small, nifty image editor for those simple tasks as a crop or an export to PNG. And that's mostly what I need. Gonna check that flatpak. npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer whereas Slack is famous for its missing dependencies 🤣 but I've heard that 'with me it works fine' argument many times before 😂 npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer turns out ffmpeg is still installed; I ain't that radical ;-) npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer Great, I'll add that ffmpeg. Elisa is unimportant anyway. i don't think it's a broken upload, my guess it's more a too radical pruning over here 😜 npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer No worries. I use Celluloid and thus mpv anyway. Removed Elisa for now; Juk also didn't work. Krusader is super fringe and I wonder if it was updated/maintained at all. Could be sth KDEish. Spectacle seems more of an issue. Totally unrelated: on FreeBSD Spectacle turned out to be a huge pain down there as well, for enabling Wayland. Never a boring moment! npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer All good after reboot. With the exception of Spectacle and Elisa (my guess some vlc related libraries?) and Krusader. Quick scan of all important things like konsole, dolphin, kate, system settings etc: all working fine. Massive job, very well executed! npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer Nothing new from the US of A 😜 npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer I know it when I'm the guinea pig. No worries, so far, so good, 224 pkgs being updated as we speak (you know I stripped it bare). Given the abysmal internet speed here in our afternoon in my man-cave it takes some time. Will report back after it finishes! npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer I feel very happy to have been offline briefly, until now. And I know my slack-r0ni's! Always one little afterburner 🤣😜 npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer I'll be jumping in right now 😜 npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer Only one person I know defies all laws of physics on a daily basis. Ain't talking about the Pie in the Sky here 🤣 npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer 'I fuck it all up and hopefully, all will be well and good to go by the time I’m done pretending to do anything': surprised to see my epitaph has been published, whilst still being alive (at least last time I woke up) 😜 npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer That T2 SDE Linux remains a very interesting distro 🤔. Rene Rabe is cool, amazing nerd, some much passion. What an achievement. npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer Swimming it'll be anyway, in joy or tears 😜 npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer That was your plan already. Seems like a good time to set those wheels in motion. At least for the KDE part I can easily be the guinea pig. An eventual rebuild over here was in the back of my mind anyway 👻 npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer my entire life can be considered an experiment, so that repo change I can handle on top of that 👻 npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer Slackware xfce and dwm, that'll be my escape to slower update queus 😜 npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer No need for apologies, bud! Can't always be the fastest one out there 😜 Second, there's so many updates from KDE these days that I've lost track anyway 🤣 thnx for all efforts 🍻 npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer A very inspiring, humbling, brave and positive call to arms. Thnx for sharing! npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer For all you naysayers out there (I know you're ready to barge in ;-): Atomic works great. On my old NUC I've been running my Idefix-Saigon (appropriate name) this week. That's nwg-shell, on sway and hyprland, on Fedora 42. Sprinkles by UniversalBlue. It's a container image, that automatically gets refreshed every day. I ain't going anywhere, it just works. npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer An accident waiting to happen. So, when I was stumblin' around making those Gnome choices there was always something not how I wanted it. Introducing Obelix-Saigon, my take on Gnome, based on SilverUblue. 42 already of course. Can't let Asterix and Idefix wander out there without Obelix, right? npub170qy98jywm5v8qz73n4nejdhjqyutk2atp5u6qruu7tz0hr4s5gqlwawr2 thesaigoneer Yes, there we go!
