Ooo look at you fancy pants having a sidewalk.

Might be able to with a quickshell. Some of them have idle timeout plugins then just start mpv or terminal pipes in full screen.

I’ve not tried it in a while, do they have infinite horizontal tiling?

Slightly worried for my use was because I have ukify images with dracut and sbctl. It generates the boot entries with that long id so I’ll maybe need to do some manual pacman hooks to modify the limine boot entries.

The thing might be simpler than a skim through tells me but I’ll need to set aside some time to get it right. Thanks for the call out, would be super neat if this works.

That’s the neat part, you don’t need to. You can just install any Linux distro and not upgrade. Obviously bad for security but you aren’t forced to upgrade ever.

My server is running a Debian-like and I’ve found release updates to be the most nerve racking process ever. Updating package repos and waiting for the whole system to refresh all the packages and fussing over what needs backports because a package is not in the new release repo… I dread it every year.

For arch I just have a snapper pacman hook to automatically create snapshots for my btrfs system so I can roll back if an update is just not working. Then just wait a few days and try again.

With Arch-likes its ever so slightly harder to roll back package versions but still doable.

Considering kernel maintainers are only now removing support for i486 and i586 you will be fine for a long time with anything from the past 2 decades.

And push comes to shove you can just tell your package manager to not update something and not worry about it.

Like mentioned though, there are a lot of upgrades and they are constant so if bandwidth is a problem, a Debian-like might be more for you.

No. Don’t be afraid of a tool. But be cautious of those who wield it and how they use it. People pushing it usually don’t have your best interest. Its a product. A vehicle for profit. Own your tools and don’t fear the man behind the curtains.

So how does a segfault work in this case then? Does it involve the destruction of spacetime? Or maybe it will be a memory leak? Will the world just crash and reboot? Become frozen forever?

See, now I’m just more curious; ya dun goofed.

Due to the non zero ammount of times this happened to me… this is like pressing ctrl+c multiple times to make sure you copied the thing. And then pressing shift+ctrl+c cause you aren’t sure if that works in this terminal emulator.

My bed could maybe fit one panda. A whole express train of pandas has potential to cause structural damage to my bed and potentially the surrounding area. This doesnt account for the financial damage for the renovations that laying railroad track on top of my bed would incur.

Why would I want a panda express in my bed?

Just finished SOMA a few years late. Asks some very good questions…

Mint

I don’t use Gnome but first search came back with: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/5353/window-state-manager/

KDE window rules can do this natively

Hyprland window rules can also do this natively

Gnome can also do this with extensions as mentioned

Congrats and welcome.

• EndeavourOS is arch based with less hassle. Its more than good enough for most people. don’t get trapped by minimal install bs and other non-consequential opinionative approaches to software.
• Select btrfs as your file system and use timeshift. If you fuck up or if your updates fuck something up. There are other ways of doing rollbacks and this is just what I became familiar with. I’ve used it two times in the past year, its worth it.
• Bookmark the archwiki, 99% of the time the answer to the questions of ‘how to’ and ‘can i’ are in there
• There are multiple DE’s. Pick what works best for you before you toss that bootable USB installer. You of course can switch later down the line, but experimenting now will save you config troubleshooting later, just stick to what feels/looks best. Look around on the web to see what appeals to your workflow. There are others like Cosmic and Wayland that are not included in the arch gui installer, in which case, follow the install procedures for the DE you want and remove the old ones to avoid config overlap.
• Have Fun. If you are not, do something that is.

Only on Tuesdays. Next question.
