I highly recommend avoiding manjaro like the plague, their team is incredibly incompetent (see: https://manjarno.pages.dev/ ), I say this as someone who has given people manjaro for years and regretted it, I was also their it person, manjaro regularly broke every few months and gave people a very bad taste of linux

for example, why are kernels given version numbers in packages? This caused 3 separate peoples computers to break multiple times. Everything good about manjaro comes from arch, everything bad about manjaro comes from the manjaro team.

Y’know how it’s not rolling release because they delay packages by 2 weeks? They actually do no testing in this time. How do I know this? They pushed an update that caused steam to uninstall your desktop environment. Famously covered by linus tech tips… this is something that should have easily been caught, and yet the two week window did absolutely nothing.

the truth is for manjaro there is no real usecase, there’s no set of desires that align with manjaro being the best choice for you. I am not asking you to switch away from manjaro, but I do not think we should ever recommend it to anyone, and on your next machine, I recommend trying the arch installer.

But if what you’re looking for is an easy pre-setup arch, use endeavoros

If you want something simple and up to date, use fedora kinoite

If you’re a power user and want to configure every little thing about their system, use arch or nixos

If you don’t care at all about updates and want the most rock solid system possible, debian.

I had no idea XMPP wasn’t encrypted, JFC that’s garbage

Why not?

Signal is not better than matrix in any way… or xmpp

How does this effect that?

It’s not completely foss

I moved from tusky to moshidon, as for a server just pick one, I use mas.to

Make sure to go for an immutable distro with kde if you’re a windows user, you’ll never have to do any maintenance, I highly recommend fedora kinoite

Text rather than words?

Libreoffice is fine unless you’re doing something niche, so yes

If you go immutable then I really don’t think it is unless you need niche software

I saw nothing but toxicity, I feel like all the decent people left after the exodus, although it was politics that I saw primarily

bindntr=CTRL,C,exec,hyprctl dispatch closewindow alacrittyclipboard & hyprctl activewindow | rg -q "class: Wfica" && alacritty -qq --config-file ~/.config/alacritty/alacrittyclipboard.toml --class 'alacrittyclipboard' --title 'Office365 Desktop - Nexus (SSL/TLS Secured, 256 bit)' -e sh -c 'sleep .03 && xclip -o | wl-copy ; wl-paste | xclip -i'
windowrulev2 = float,class:(alacrittyclipboard)
windowrulev2 = stayfocused,class:(alacrittyclipboard)
windowrulev2 = noborder,class:(alacrittyclipboard)
windowrulev2 = noanim,class:(alacrittyclipboard)
windowrulev2 = noblur,class:(alacrittyclipboard)
windowrulev2 = opacity 0,class:(alacrittyclipboard)
windowrulev2 = maxsize 1 1,class:(alacrittyclipboard)

Fixes the fucking clipboard in citrix, no, I cannot figure out a better solution.

the move to aquamarine with hyprland mostly resolved this… but not completely and i’m going to have to write a new duct tape solution for that.

If you’re wondering why I launch alacritty… it doesn’t work without alacritty, wayland needs the window to be in focus, if alacritty isn’t there there’s no in focus window and it doesn’t update the clipboard.

I recently visited reddit after not being on since the exodus, reddit has gotten so much worse, you are really just wrong about this

Not under any active development

i don’t really see the usecase that isn’t perfectly covered by lemmy?

I use opencalc, stick to FOSS software as much as humanly possible.

It has a number of benefits over a normal keyboard:

1. No need for autocorrect since the buttons are so large that it’s hard to accidentally press the wrong one
2. It’s symmetrical so both thumbs can type any letter, so you can type faster, in fact the world record typing speed on a phone was set on a one-handed version of this, i’m sure with the two-handed you can go even faster
3. Pretty much everything I need can be hit without switching to another layout (no need for a symbols page)
4. The other features of the keyboard are easily accessible, like, copy/paste/select all/undo/redo etc.

It’s awesome, it’s foss, and not a keylogger like most keyboards.

I’m not very good at it yet I’ve only been using it for a month or so

I love thumb-key with the two-hands symbols and numbers layout
