  • Download Inkscape 1.4beta2 | Try it out and report bugs

    Jump

  • I think Inkscape 1.4 doesn't bring any fancy features, but rather makes what already works better. The inconspicous releases are just as important.

  • Hyprland is now fully independent!

    Jump

  • While I use river as daily driver and am very happy with it, I feel people who like Hyprland will find river to be rather limited and barren in terms of looks and availability of plugins.

  • Governance leaves a lot to be desired.

    Genuine question from somebody who's out of the loop and doesn't use NixOS: How does this affect your day to day using the distro?

  • What's the appeal of family life vlogs/ YT channels?

    Jump

  • Don't they just show a life that many people wish they could live? Those influencers are usually very good looking, drive nice cars, wear designer clothes and go on lavish holidays.

    Seeing a normal/non-famous person have it makes it more believable that one day you'll have that life as well.

    Either that, or it's just horniness meets para social relationship 🤷‍♂️

  • I've heard good things about VanillaOS. Not used it myself though.

    With their package manager apx, you can use software from pretty much any distro in VanillaOS (copied from link above):

    Apx is a tool that allows you to generate work environments based on any Linux distribution and seamlessly integrates them with the system in a convenient way ...

  • I clearly didn’t read it.

    I love the honesty. It's really refreshing to see someone take accountability instead of becoming defensive.

  • How do you contribute to OSS?

    Jump

  • Looking back on my career, submitting your first merge/pull request can take anywhere from a few hours to several weeks (we're talking about 8+ hour work days). And that's at companies that have an onboarding process and coworkers you can ask for help and explanations about the code base, architecture etc.

    Getting into someone else's code (this may include your past self) is almost never easy and often feels convoluted, because it's very difficult to see the context that existed at the time when the code was written. And by context I mean everything that influenced the decision to write lines the way they were written, including undocumented discussions, necessary but non-obvious workarounds, understanding of the problem and solution space by the dev, general state of mind of the person writing the code and more.

    Don't beat yourself up because you couldn't contribute in just a few hours.

    I would first reach out to the devs on IRC/Discord/Matrix and express interest to contribute and see how they react. You don't know if they would even accept your PR, so I wouldn't do too much work upfront.

    Then, when they are open to work with you, find out if they are willing to help you ease into the code. What files should you study to implement the changes that you've discussed earlier, any considerations that are not obvious, is there legacy code that you shouldn't touch etc.

    It's important to keep in mind that (collaborative) software development is more than just being able to write code. And a lot of the surrounding work is not very glamorous or fun.

    I hope that helps and wish you good luck! 🤞

  • Why don't computers have "computer-numbers" equivalent to phone numbers

    Jump

  • I don't think that's something that needs to be fixed. Your phone (and probably your computer) can randomize its MAC address every time it connects to a new WiFi to make it harder to track you.

  • river version 0.3.0 released (tiling Wayland compositor)

    Jump

  • Oh thank you for that link. I knew I've heard him take about his plans in some talk he gave, but didn't know he write them down.

    I am on the same page as you. River works for me well enough, but the vision is what keeps me excited.

    What exactly was the problem with not being able to configure CSD/SSD? I've not run into any issues but that has probably more to do with the applications I run.

  • How can i do whatever I want to do ?

    Jump

  • I'm sorry to hear that you're having a hard time getting the software running. I understand that this can be very frustrating.

    As others have said, making yourself the owner of everything can cause numerous issues in the long run and there's a reason why most distributions DON'T make you root.

    Why are you using Linux in the first place? I think sonarr and jackett both run on Windows as well.

    Don't let the frustration get the best of you. If you really want to run those tools yourself, then dive into it (and all the technical issues that are part of it), but if you only want to have access to the functionality, you might want to look into a service that takes care of all the technical burden.

    Good luck

  • river version 0.3.0 released (tiling Wayland compositor)

    Jump

  • You're welcome. I've been using it as my daily driver for over a year now and it works for that, but don't expect any bells and whistles.

  • river version 0.3.0 released (tiling Wayland compositor)

    Jump

  • I think the biggest difference is dynamic (river) vs manual tiling (sway). Other than that, I feel sway is much more mature and there's a proper community surrounding it that had written scripts and tools that work with sway. Many of which you are probably gonna use with river as well (swaylock, swaybg, swayidle).

    One thing that's pretty cool about river (at least in theory) is that the tiling algorithm is not part of the compositor itself. Instead, you can run any river tiling program and have that part be completely custom if you wish. Also configuration is done via commands instead of a config language (you usually run a bash script at start).

    From what I remember, the vision of Isaac Freund (main developer) is, that river will become more of a tiling compositor base, that others can then use to create their own distributions. I heard that in some talk he gave. You should be able to find that on YouTube.

    However, there's still a long way to go.

    In it's current state, river reminds me of spectrwm. Very simple, with some cool, but ultimately non-essential, ideas that you probably won't find anywhere else.
