Wait till you find out about fzf

MX (Debian + Nvidia + tools to make use easier).

Debian: Release cadance seems too slow for my preference.

Install OBS and other software from flatpak

MX, ThinkPad t480, intel+Nvidia (no matter which drivers): close screen to suspend causes it, and it’s not happening in other DE’s. Can’t be bothered to try out xfce on another distro just to confirm. I made a post when I was trying to fix it for myself.

The final straw were the Bluetooth headphones though. Most of the time I’d have to manually select them 20 times as the output device so it sticks, and then it’d switch back to the speakers as soon as the call starts. Or I’d hear the other person through the correct device, but the they couldn’t hear me on Skype, but could on Google meet.

MX was pretty reliable otherwise.

Why /joke when that’s how stable distros work?

I’m aware of Debian’s reputation for not having the most up-to-date software in its repository

Yes, it’s a stable distro. Contrary to what most Linux users think, that term only means that the distro is unchanging. That means only necessary updates are released (security fixes for example).

when it will make available the upcoming major release of GIMP to 3.0.

Maybe in the next version, if the gimp release happens soon enough it gets tested.

Just use an external package manager like flatpak to install fresh packages. The only reason I could run MX (Debian) for about a year was because I installed almost every user package through nix, and used Debian ones for the system packages.

The xfce in the current MX has issues with waking up as well. When power manager suspends it, it would often wake up to a black screen and requires either a logout or to apply a xrandr config. Same issue doesn’t happen when suspending through systemctl

Not the same scale but Signal has a rather new approach for a messaging client. Completely free and funded by user donations - at least that’s the direction they’re trying to head

You do realise they’re trying to become the crypto WeChat? Shit app with horrible management.

Check out Antix, Debian based, and it’s primarily made for older devices and has a 32bit ISO

Good thing it only happens to the Chinese…

Doesn’t that defeat the only benefit - anonymity?

It’s ok at best, when it works. When it runs out of API hits for the day at noon, you need to use something like https://searx.neocities.org/ and retype your search multiple times until you manage to hit an instance that can actually perform a search.

Also, no suggestions.

we have no choice but to push people from non-aligned countries away

Non-aligned countries are fine, they can always invade most of the countries once again, the issue is with the Eastern block.

i don’t see what it offers over e.g. debian

Open clan has better techno-mages

Best case scenario: sunk cost fallacy

Worst case scenario: there’s a lot of shit you can do when you control a closed source app store, and canonical has a history of doing sketchy shit like selling user data to Amazon

I dislike that it takes way too long to boot

1. Use the Daemon, it starts a new client in a fraction of a second
2. Improve your config and it’ll start in under a second anyways

Emacs had some “premade IDE” project I recall that I tried and wasn’t that enthusiastic about.

Doom Emacs, spacemacs, etc.

And there are plenty of nvim “distros” like that (lazyvim for example).

They make getting started pretty easy. I’ve been using Doom for years and never bothered to make a full config of my own.

WELL SURE, BUT BOIZ R SHROOM N BOIZ 'AVE TEK

Zergs are purely biological, this is more 40k ORK territory

MEKBOI SAIZ WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!

AI is quite fit for the task of understanding

Sure, and parrots are amazing at spotting fallacies like cherry picking…
