  • Linux github repo is now a dating board

  • As I said in my other comment, contrib. over github is already not accepted. And yes these are humans not bots. Pull requests were already filled with bizarre stuff for years before this started

    It's just some silly fun.

  • Linux kernel does not accept contributions from github so this repo was always like that

    The only new thing here is this

  • Device is set to power saver in this picture but I must say power saver doesn't seem to be doing much. I don't notice a reduction in performance nor see a improvement in battery life.

    I just leave that on power saver if I am not doing anything resource hungry. Possibly out of habit

  • I am daily driving a Surface Pro 9

    Drivers are okay. I had some problems with screen freezing but these were fixed easily with some kernel params.

    With a full battery, I get 6 hours coding in C with VSCode and some browser tabs or 5 hours of YouTube playback. You'll get about 8-9 hours if you are doing something like writing text

    Gnome is fantastic for this form factor. Especially libadwaita stuff, as their HIG plays very nice with touchscreens.

    A powerbank will give you practically infinite battery for a whole day. I love this machine so much...

  • [Discussion] Flatpaks, ram/disk usage and compression

    Jump

  • It also kind of takes its roots from my frustration with garbage in my home or leftover bullshit in my root

    It's not viable to ditch native packages 100% (like immutable distros). But a combination of two is pretty comfortable imo

    But as I said, I am not comfortable with the way flatpak does some things

  • Small SSD + compression is faster than HDD with no compression ¯(ツ)_/¯

    Plus I've been planning to upgrade my (8gb) RAM and SSD, for like, the last 5 years? Never gonna upgrade lol

  • [Discussion] Flatpaks, ram/disk usage and compression

    Jump

  • Exactly what I'm talking about. It reminds me of the time microsoft introduced memory compression to compensate for every application bringing it's own DLLs

    But I still think flatpak is superior to windows way of doing things because it actually has dependency management. I kinda like the idea of having multiple versions of the same library but I wish they did not come in big bundles (runtimes), but instead, came in small 1-2MB pieces.

    download random binaries from non-trusted distributors that contain a copy of every library that software needs to run

    This is overexaggeration. Flatpak, unlike places windows users get software from, is moderated, and flatpak (although chunky) has shared dependencies

  • I used it for a while and I think it's been one of the best languages I've tried. C for example is too barebones for modern desktop apps. Apps written in Rust are great but most of the time, it's just not worth the effort. And stuff like Python, JS is... uhh.. where do I even begin

    I think Go hits the sweet spot between these. Unlike C, it at least has some simple error/panic mechanism, GC so you don't have to worry about memory much and some modern features on top of that. And unlike Python it can actually create reasonably snappy programs.

    In any programming language, there will always be multiple cases where you need to link C libraries. CGo, although people don't seem to be adoring it, is actually... okay? I mean of course it does still have some overhead but it's still one of the nicer ways to link C libraries with your code. And Go being similar to C makes writing bindings so much easier

    Multithreading in Go is lovely. Or as I read somewhere "you merely adopted multithreading, I was born with it"

    Packaging is handled pretty nicely, pulling a library from the net is fairly trivial. And the standard directory structure for Go, although I'm not used to it, makes organizing stuff much easier and is easy to adopt

    As you would've guessed from the amount of times I mentioned C in this comment, I basically see Go as the "bigger C for different situations"

  • Is this video a legitimate way to get Linux on LineageOS via Termux or is there a better recent method?

    Jump

  • If you got root, running a Linux container under chroot is faster than proot so use that instead.

    And if you want a full blown Linux distro then Ubuntu touch or postmarketos it is. Look into libhybris if you want your own distro on your phone

    I had plans on testing a dualbooted Linux/Android setup by reflashing the boot partition every time I wanted to switch but haven't done it yet

  • That gives me the idea of windows server installed on bare metal configured as a lightweight game runner. (much like a linux distro with minimal wm)

    I've seen people dualbooting windows server as an unbloated gaming OS but I'm not sure if running a custom minimal GUI on windows server is possible. You seem knowledgeable on the subject, with enough effort, is it possible?

  • But Windows Server has GUI. Although a server having GUI (not webui, desktop) is kinda stupid
