This is unrealistic, agile stages aren’t missing unusual pieces that aren’t quite critical but probably should be there anyway.

Don’t forget about linkwarden

Just cross your fingers nobody attempts to import it…

Pinchflat is one of the good containers that doesn’t try to play with ID remapping or anything. You just need a container quadlet like the following:

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

[Container]
Image=ghcr.io/kieraneglin/pinchflat:latest

Environment=TZ=CHANGEME

Volume=CHANGEME/config:/config
Volume=CHANGEME/downloads:/downloads

PublishPort=127.0.0.1:8945:8945

It’ll run as the quadlet user id by default.

I haven’t heard anyone talk about puppy Linux in a bit. That used to be the go to for ultra lightweight setups.

All of these alternatives and you missed the best one ripgrep (rg). The other ones in my opinion are nice to have. Recursive multi-threaded grep that respects gitignore files is a must for me.

I’ve also witnessed matrix structure break down when too many methods of communication are used. It’s all very brittle.

“I want to know why this is broken. How to fix it can come later.”

Or override the TERM variable in your ssh config. Setting it to an xterm value has been supported by any niche term I’ve used over the years without sacrificing any of the usual functions.

Arch. Started using it in high school. Never had a reason to switch. Now I’m just regularly frustrated by other distros trying to make things easier by abstracting simple configurations behind layers of custom scripts.

AUR, when I can. I run my own binary package repo. App images are an interesting concept, but usually they are compiled against ancient versions of glibc for increased compatibility. Optimizations and CVE patches may or may not be applied, LD lookups are longer, etc.

Sway still primarily counts as a WM + Compositor, but considering it has keymaps, autostart, and libinput config mechanisms embedded in it, I would say it borders a desktop environment.

The inhibit_idle specifier is cool, thanks for the pointer. This two liner can be replaced with:

for_window [all] inhibit_idle fullscreen

Or it’s a cheap external nvme chassis with a Samsung 980 Pro. Had to run that when I was copying files from one of my old machines and boy, it will absolutely overheat to the point of failure.

Gave me quite the scare when I started getting read errors and then it dropped off the bus. It shutdown to protect itself but it certainly didn’t seem like that at the time.

Please people, these stand alone guides are fine but continual use of the wiki ensures it is kept up to date. These should not act as or be used like a substitute.

The real problem: Define beginner distro

Every user is starting from a different point. There is no such thing as a beginner distro. You can say this distro is good for people who can grasp the idea of a command line or this distro is good for people who have no idea command line interfaces exist, but that doesn’t differentiate between beginner friendly or not.

Just note that if you somehow get out of those meetings, incorrect information will be propagated somehow. Even if you put the correct answers in an email and send it to everyone involved. If someone has a way to prevent that from happening please let me know. It’s killing me slowly.

I’m the same way. Honestly I just like the built in terminal emulator for those few times I forget to open tmux first. Not a fan of the lua integration. Makes the initial startup slower for my config.

I use the linuxserver images for Nextcloud. Have worked pretty well for me over the past few years.
