I have an older lenovo T590 that work great. And a T15. They can be had at reasonable prices. T590 has an 8th gen i7. The T15 has a 10th gen i7. They work well for me. But yeah, absolutely get your point.

Yeah, I think I got it wrong, I thought about /usr, but it can be setup on a separate FS as well.

She’s Linux-adjacent

you're probably right, I have an RDNA1 card, I have no idea what could be causing this otherwise. probably some weird amd driver issue

Amazing! Will fiddle around with this as a temporary fix. Wish I could mark some comments as being the 'solution' and highlight them in some way. Much appreciated!

I’d have left Twitch if I didn’t find it more entertaining than current YouTube. No one should be surprised they’re at pre-covid profit levels again because they tried to shovel way too many ads down people’s throats. Imagine tuning into a random stream and getting greeted by 3 ads before you can understand if you want to stay or check a different one. I’ve been frustrated enough that I just turn to something else altogether for entertainment. There are some decent adblockers like TTV.LOL, which is a simple proxy to a country that doesn’t allow ads. But sometimes those solutions don’t work either. Ironically I just use Turbo while not paying for YouTube premium, but just as people don’t pay for YouTube Premium, I understand not wanting to support Twitch for a variety of reasons

What annoys me is that this was an issue as far back as the early 90's. On DOS and Windows 3.11. It's such an annoyance that I don't get how this problem still exist?! If the unmount function can see if write is finished, a file copy function should obviously be able to see it'¨s own copy state.

One thing I'm doing differently in Arch this time is I'm trying out installing as many things as possible as flatpaks. I've successfully ignored them until now. Surprisingly, a lot of my apps are already packaged as flatpaks. Yeah I have grown a liking to flatpaks too but I dont think I can live with only flatpaks yet. The other thing I'm borrowing is distrobox+podman. I didn't know about that before. This seems useful for dev environments. Distrobox is really nice, I even run some gui applications in containers. That being said, I've never had a problem with pacman breaking my system, so I don't see major value in doing this... other than... it's helping me procrastinate! I should be doing real work right now. This is the only thing keeping from arch tbh. I shudder to think of all the ways I can procrastinate on arch!

Very useful to see if your source/dest are performing as expected.

Setup of KMail is very janky, but after that it works well. I’ve been using it for probably at least 7 years at this point as my main mail client on Linux. There’s nothing better Qt-based as far as I know really.

Ngl I've downloaded it to my laptop and I haven't had to do anything. Everything has just worked so far. And if something stops working, the immutability means I can just roll back an update

Ooooh, ok. Missed that. Hi, it isn't possible to install Tailscale inside the VSO container since it needs to interface with the host, for this case, I would suggest using a custom image following this template and rebase to it using ABRoot -> https://github.com/Vanilla-OS/custom-image. Aw, dang. ok.

Looks like https://old.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/d3m0fz/how_to_open_links_in_mpv_with_klipper/ is a good starting point, i.e Open menu in system tray. Right click on Clipboard => Configure Clipboard. Go to Actions Configuration => Add Action. then... to try! I'm just discovering this too but seems like the right way. That said I'd be cautious and limit the use case to only what you have, e.g. Spotify links, at least at first because I imagine one can get into hairy edge cases quickly. Keep us posted!

Yes! This is it. Thank you!

its only GTK 4 right? GTK 3 can be easily customized

Uninstall unused flatpak dependencies: flatpak uninstall --unused

I haven't tried swaylock unfortunately, gtklock is the first wayland screenlocker i tried. Before that i think i was using i3lock-color on xorg, which also worked fine as far as i can remember, but the problem with xorg screenlocking is that it isn't actually very safe. Also, i'm not sure what distro you are using, but if it is a systemd distro there is probably a better way to trigger the screenlocker. I'm not sure if that script works in that case because it might be elogind specific. elogind is used on distros like artix and void because they don't use systemd. Elogind is basically just the logind part ripped out of systemd.
