I’m pretty sure by default, virtual networks are not enabled automatically if you’re not using virt-manager GUI.

To make it run automatically, run the following: virsh net-autostart default

If it’s not that, just to make it easier to find information, what’s your host distro? I’m guessing by mention of Kickstart files that it’s something Red Hat related, possibly Rocky 9 based on your choice of guest.

Weird. It must be that my taste is very indie/alternative. You can always also check if the artist has their own shop.

That’s how Jonathan Coulton does it. They Might Be Giants does it as well (in addition to a Bandcamp), but most of their stuff from 1990-1996 is stuck on their former label, so they can’t sell DRM-free audio, only vinyl and/or cassette.

Do you have FluidSynth installed? I had similar issues recently - I just have a script that restarts pipewire automatically on login.

PS5 controller also works.

I booted Buildroot with kernel 5.17 on a Pentium II laptop off a CD I burned once - I needed to dump a drive once and that was the only hardware I had on hand that could dump 2.5” IDE drives and had a working CD drive so I could boot something other than the operating system installed on the drive:

Honestly, I rather like the default XFCE terminal. In fact, I was using it even before I used XFCE back when I was just playing with the default GNOME in VMs before I daily-drove Linux.

Is this xfce-winxp-tc? I ‘ve played with it before and it’s awesome.

However, I don’t use it because while the XP start menu replica is cool, I need a Win7-style search bar, and Whiskermenu sticks pit like a sore thumb here.

I think a 7 replica would be awesome, but I think some parts of Aero can only truly be replicated with a new WM and DE, such as the color changes in the taskbar for different applications. Many themes just fall short - proportions and effects are slightly off and such.

I think the main other distro I used in that VM at that time was Fedora 37 at that time, which should have also been using Wayland. I had made the VMs because I was working on Debian packaging for an application I liked and wanted to make sure the modifications I made didn’t break it on other distros.

I’m not necessarily a “Wayland is the embodiment of evil” kind of guy, but I love XFCE and pretty much won’t leave it unless it dies, meaning I’m on Xorg until they port XFWM4.

Not really, but I switched from Qwerty to Workman years ago, though I can live with Qwerty if I have to when it’s on someone else’s machine.

I use Workman because I found Colemak rather hard to learn, mostly because of the position of S being one over from where it was on Qwerty.

In order for them to be allowed on exams, I ghink they’re required to have a non-QWERTY layout.

Linux (and I think maybe even macOS) can do Ctrl+Shift+U, and then you type the Unicode hex number.

Discord also has an app from Linux - you can get it as a Flatpak (an official one) or as a native package, although they don’t provide a repo for native packages and expect you to manually download a package file every time there is an update.

For the native packages issue, someone created an apt repo on Github, and if you look in the CI routine, you can tell they’re using the official Discord packages and not modifying them.

Honestly, I should probably be sandboxing it more.

It’s annoying to use a proprietary service, but the This Might Be a Wiki community is rather enjoyable.

It’s not just packages. Ubuntu performance is terrible - it runs so much worse than other distros in VM. I don’t know about spins, but main Ubuntu takes 30 seconds to respond to some button presses whereas it’s nearly instant in other GNOME-using distros given equal or less resources.

Can you give more info about what you tried (commands, GUIS, etc)? What does it say when it denies your request?

Also, timezones usually go by cities - I for instance, I’m on AZ time as well, and the time zone for me is called America/Phoenix.

OP explicitly said Mint isn’t what they’re looking for.

I think my very first exposure to Linux was when I got a Pi 3 for Christmas when I was 10; by next year, I was trying out Ubuntu 16.04 in a VM.

However, it took several years before I began daily-driving; I had thrown it on an old laptop during my sophomore year of high school that I mostly used from the couch.

I then did a “test install” of Debian Testing on my main desktop pater that year, which just became what I used every day and quickly just became my main operating system.

I soon installed it on everything else I owned and haven’t looked back.

Exciting, as always. I just hope they can eventually add CMYK support.

I get color spaces are hard and there are workarounds involving Scribus, but I wonder if one could just have a custom SVG attribute that would be ignored by a standard SVG renderer (we’d have a similar placeholder RGB color, which we maybe would allow to be manually modified) and read by Inkscape when rendering to a format for print like PDF.

I find that a bit funny - most people find it the other way around. In fact, coming from Illustrator, I found Inkscape easier in a lot of ways.

I think 3.0 is big just for finally adding some non-destructive editing.

I feel like 3.0 was a big step - we finally got non-destructive editing on most filters.

Still, the resize GUI drives me nuts, and Resynthesizer should just be a brush in the default install at this point, perhaps with greater optimization.
