People who find computers useful should be using computers.

This weird idea from some linux users that only people who see their computer as a hobby and have mastery over them should be allowed to use them, and that computers should be designed exclusively around the needs of computer-as-hobby users, is absolutely nuts.

Its a tool. It should be designed to be useful as possible to anyone who needs such a tool.

Sincerely,
Another linux user who cares about UI/UX and is tired of this kind of junk. It’s a dumb argument, let’s all stop making it please. Linux supports all your “technical user” wildest dreams, let the average people have their features and design considerations too.

Thanks for that additional possible meaning :)

Thank you!

Could someone explain “connection reset by peer” to me, in the context of this joke?

Ah, I missed the camera aspect, but I’m really glad you found a good lead!

I’m wishing you the best with your project! ☺️

There are sealing hardcases sometimes used by outdoorsy folks for things like whit water rafting you might be able to make one out of

When I googled “raspberry pi waterproof case” a lot of options came up

https://sixfab.com/product/raspberry-pi-ip65-outdoor-iot-project-enclosure/ this is one of them

Cute!

Feels furry-core lol

Happy for y’all! I’ll have to give it a try again sometime soon

Thats honestly really exciting to hear, I’m curious to give it another try again. No idea if I’ll ever switch from GNOME, but it makes me happy to see the project doing well

Thanks :)

What’s the first browser under newborn paranoid?

How is it??

I last used it a little while back but there were some issues with polish. I’d like to come back and check it out again now that there’s been a major update if I remember right

I love the GNOME user experience and apps (I know many don’t, that’s fine) but don’t so much love the way GNOME as a project often struggles to play nicely with others 😅

That’s certainly a cool thought!

As someone who doesn’t follow this stuff closely, I appreciate the clarification!

Its nice to hear from someone with more hands on experience. Hope you have a good one :)

Meant to reply to this but it got burried-

Oh I fully just gave up 😅 the reason I didn’t get it figured out is cause I didn’t stick with it lol. My previous laptop had broken and I decided I wanted to just go ahead and be up and running on the replacement rather than tinkering with void setup. I might come back to it at some point, but it’s definitely beyond my competency. Especially since ideally I’d like to have luks encryption, which I know you can do, but not from the more basic install process if I remember right.

Network manager (so I could use GNOME settings to change networks), and audio through pipewire were the two remaining things. I gave setting up pipewire a try following a YouTube tutorial, but it didn’t work properly, and at that point I decided I just wanted to have a working laptop again after a couple weeks without. But I did learn a bunch! and got a lot more comfortable with the command line!

Package kit is what allows graphical software stores or graphical package managers to integrate with the native package manager backend if I understand right. I’d miss being able to browse native packages along side flatpaks.

I found that fork, but yeah I don’t think it works. There were also one or two graphical software stores specifically for xbps, but I don’t recall if they’re still maintained, and I don’t think there was a GTK option. Part of me desperately hopes someone will make a simple distro based on void that functions as a customized install, kinda like spiral linux or gecko linux, for debian and opensuse. Until then, I know that my perfect distro might be out there, if I can just successfully get everything initally set up 🥲

Maybe I’ll make an IRL linux friend I’m close enough to harass into helping me with it at some point lol. Hope you have a lovely day!

It can build packages from source like Gentoo though if I remember right

I’ve never really had issues with systemd, but I must say when I was setting up void I did really enjoy the runit init system 🤷‍♂️

Aw neat! Thanks for sharing 😊

Big agree. If you’re reading this and could spare a couple bucks for some of the projects you use most often, maybe think about donating 😊

Thanks for the additional context!
