mainly hobbyists or some very specific feature. For example antiX for old hardware or Spiral Linux for the better installer, gaming specific distros for gaming etc. Also there are protest distros which advertise not having something - usually SystemD.

Don’t introduce proprietary crap just so companies can profit off of it.

I agree but I think it’s the user who should be able to make the informed choice (ie. during installation)

in case you have not solved it, it’s easy on Sway. man sway-output (kinda) tells you how to do it. Here’s an example sway config line:

output HDMI-1 res --custom 1921x1081@61Hz

You can even change CRT timings like front porch, if you want that.

DEs need to embrace tiling functionality and transparent windows (eg. playing a YT video under your LibreOffice window). It’s the only proper way to use a tablet. Obviously KDE’s Windows-like taskbar is a nightmare for tablets but even Android’s “deck of window cards” is crappy for anything that you couldn’t just as well do on a smartphone.

I guess OP could change the if statement to check if nixos-rebuild is running, not just check for music being played.

`

 music_is_playing=$(pw-cli i all 2>&1 | grep running -q)

  # Only suspend if audio isn't running

  if [ $music_is_playing == 1 ] && ! pidof nixos-rebuild; then

    systemctl suspend

  fi

` But I guess not using the script at all is also an option if putting the PC to sleep is a no-no.

Unfortunately the router at my gf’s house does not resolve the hostname, so no. Though thanks for the suggestion, I feel kinda stupid for not trying that.

Edit: I’m a noob. Solved by adding “.local” suffix after the hostname.

Garuda advertises a different scheduler so I would think that would make difference. It’s also one of the things people recommend to improve gaming performance on Linux. Unfortunately as others have pointed out without 1% lows, there is nothing of value in this video. Saying that with respect to Nick. He should step up his game in this area. Average fps just doesn’t tell anything, especially on Linux which is even less consistent than Windows

I could see Pine64 doing once the chip becomes cheaper

The domain can be “localhost”. You just need to forward the RDP port from your host to the Windows guest.

Perhaps you could try Xournalpp. It has internal palm rejection, which you can configure to keep rejecting for x seconds after you lift the pen from the screen.

6.6.25_1

Though I’ve just tried 6.1.83_1 and it didn’t help. Don’t know whether there is a big difference between 6.1.0 and 6.1.83. I guess I’ll have to try the glibc version.

well my point was that obscure software is “often” (in my experience) packaged only in GURU, while void has official packages. My guess is that it is because GURU is official-ish while void has no such thing so there is bigger “pressure” to build binaries.

imo android and iOS tablets are not even in the same league because they lack tiling WMs. I also think that transparent windows are a pretty important feature although I won’t be surprised if you could find some hacky solution on android. I guess my priorities are different then.

I haven’t compared it myself but xbps is supposedly much faster than portage for binary packages. I know it ain’t really an important metric but still.

I think void has better binary package support though. I don’t have the statistics but it seems that still not all gentoo packages are offered in binary form, especially on arm or legacy x86. I also think GURU is source only which is sometimes an issue when installing some obscure software.

They are similar but one is mainly a source based distro which can also install binary packages while void is the other way around. Each has its advantages and downsides.

Well that’s why I’m asking here. You can “map <Mouse1> some_function” but there is no “pan” function. Mapping <Mouse1> to scroll (down) does not enable panning by dragging while holding down the button but just in moving the page one step down.

So it seems to me that it either requires multiple lines in the config or it isn’t supported at all. I wanted to ask here first before bothering the devs on github.

LearnLinuxTV is a pretty good YT channel for noobs

I recommend getting familiar with the following software:

• Quickemu (and quickgui) - super easy way to setup a Windows (or Linux or Mac) virtual machine
• Distrobox - easily run a different linux distro within your current linux distro. It’s useful for running ubuntu containers because of “PPAs” which are unofficial repositories which allow you to install some obscure software with a single command.
• Timeshift - someone else already mentioned it. I actually don’t know whether it would be a problem on an atomic distro like Kionite but I had Kubuntu break after a major update. Timeshift would have been useful at that time.
