@joel I have the non-foldy version of this and it's very good.
Better with GarlicOS than the pre-installed OnionOS - but both work fine I guess so all good
You see this is what I was trying to getting at. People who haven't learned Rust think it behaves the same as C. The correct answer is Rust will not compile code which has logical errors, you must explicitly enable unsafe code, so no unsafe code, no bugs. Try learning about Rust
25 years ago today, Google was founded.
On the same day, I wiped Windows 98 off my computer, believing that Debian Linux (which I had been using for a while but still kept Windows on another partition) could do everything I had been doing with Windows until then.
Since that day, many installations of Linux, *BSD, MacOS have graced my computers, but Windows has remained, on a few occasions, only an occasional (unwelcome) guest.
In the spirit of a typical support group phrase, I can joyfully say:
'Hello, I'm Stefano, and I haven't been using Windows as my primary operating system for 25 years.'
@stefano probably about 20-25 years ago I started looking into using Linux, and tinkered with a few distros (Debian, Fedora, Arch, openSUSE) in dual boot set up or as VMs, to test the waters of having a system I could configure for me, not configure myself for it.
Ultimately I made the absolute switch about 15 or so years ago (Arch...btw, and servers set up with RHEL based, Debian or FreeBSD) and haven't looked back.
I still have a Windows VM which I can spin up for those times I need it, but it's pretty much just 2 uses I have for it, I can do everything else on Linux or BSD.
Of course, I still have to support windows as part of my daily work... But of course I provide solutions via Linux or BSD
So Hyprland is buggy, we knew this. So I can't use it at the moment. So I tried out qtile wayland again. And while it's stable, it is still so far away.
What's a guy gotta do to get a stable, fully functional, wayland compositor that isn't Sway?
@thelinuxcast I've tried to test so many TWMs in Wayland, and just keep hitting problems
nothing, NOTHING, works properly in any of them
The best hope we have is river (with river-bsp-layout) I think, but even then things aren't quite right
no decent keyboard daemon's either, I cannot do without sxhkd. swhkd is close, but not quite right still.
I don't need bling, so X with bspwm and sxhkd is perfect for me. Want me to switch to Wayland? Make bspwm and sxhkd clones (not swhkd) and we'll talk 🙃
@lhp@thelinuxcast I appreciate that, and it doesn't make much sense I agree. I was probably over simplifying what I meant. To put it another way, of all the wayland twms, the key command handlers aren't quite as useful (to me) as sxhkd. I am probably an edge case I guess, I'm not sure many people use as many sxhkd "chords" as I do, but hey - that's half the fun!
For example, I have a command $mod + c ; b ; s, which, to put in a "mode" based config would mean I'd have to have a mode "c" (change), which has a nested mode "b" (background) with a final key command "s" (space), which is a lot of work to just get a new space based background image from unsplash.
Anyway, x still works, it does what I need, and there's no reason to switch for me yet.
Big catastrophy at work today, one of our postgres clusters completely went down, some kind of problem with the disk it seems, so the db corrupted, I don't know well enough how to eventually fix it since it seems like it was trying to recover and then just segfaulted every time it tried, and no start.
So in the end we had to recover from a backup from midnight, and stuff is running, it's just annoying having to reimport everything.
And I'm still at work 1 1/2 hour after I should have finished.
