From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Ex arch btw user here. I noped out and wiped after thinking I had it all nailed down, then I tried to connect my Bluetooth headphones and I came to a grand awakening. I am too old for this shit.

Installed Tumbleweed and been happy ever since.

Tumbleweed is boring, and that's why it's wonderful.

I am too old for this shit.

You don't even have to be old; just wise.

Tumbleweed is great, but I prefer EndeavorOS myself.

Starbucks coffee is great, but I prefer vicious, unrelenting cock and ball torture myself.

[–] milkjug@lemmy.wildfyre.dev 3 points 1 year ago

Hahaha this had me chuckling. Take my upvote you rascal.

  1. Stop supporting genocide (Starbucks supports Israel)
  2. EndeavorOS ain't CBT.

My "I don't have time for this" moment came when I tried to set up Nextcloud on Arch:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Nextcloud

Meanwhile on Slackware:

Configuration

(1) Add the following in /etc/httpd/httpd.conf

  Alias /nextcloud "/srv/httpd/htdocs/nextcloud/"
  
      Options +FollowSymlinks
      AllowOverride All
      
        Dav off
      
      SetEnv HOME      "/srv/httpd/htdocs/nextcloud"
      SetEnv HTTP_HOME "/srv/httpd/htdocs/nextcloud"
  

(2) In /etc/httpd/httpd.conf, enable mod_rewrite and PHP by uncommenting
"LoadModule rewrite_module ..." and "Include /etc/httpd/mod_php.conf",
then restart httpd.

ngl, I love how "I don't give a fuck" the slackware authors are, they didn't even bother with https on their official website.

[–] KISSmyOS@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I love how their official "support" page links to a website that includes this:
https://www.steubentech.com/~talon/desktop/

[–] cygnus@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

lmao this is exactly the image that would pop into my head if I imagine a Slackware user in 2023.

You don't need SSL if you're not exchanging sensitive information.

If they aren't exchanging sensitive information, then it's less not giving a fuck and more not using technologies 'just because' everyone else is.

It's a smart move.

I just installed Nextcloud on Arch and the official packages caused the most headaches I ever had within my 3 years of arch. In contrast I installed the official Jellyfin and Prometheus Server packages and they ran OOTB.

I ended up with not using the official packages but extracting the tar.bz2 into /var/www/nextcloud and slightly modifying the nginx config from their site. I had to move the inclusion of the MIME-Types file to a different block for nextcloud to deliver its CSS, SVGs and images. It wasn't exactly straight-forward too considering permissions. I found it a beast compared to many other server software.

Its probably just one package. I guess for example pacman -S plasma-desktop plasma-meta flatpak fish plasma-wayland-session sddm sddm-kcm && systemctl enable --now sddm does the trick.

Archinstall with the entire plasma desktop is probably also nice, or just EndeavorOS which will be preconfigured

I actually did the whole KDE shebang with archinstall. I never really expected that Arch btw deigned it too opinionated to just provide an audio and Bluetooth interface. Instead I have to choose between pulse audio and pipewire and bluez and a bunch of others. I just didn’t have the patience nor time to look into what and why these options are presented, and this was after I already wasted days figuring how to get my pc to boot with my 12th gen Intel and Nvidia gpu combination.

Turns out there’s a bunch of kernel finagling you absolutely have to do first before it even decides to boot from the gpu and not the igpu. Oh well.
