i actually ended up installing vanilla Void. I messed it up before with seating and bash_profiles, but following strictly their documentation, it took me 10 min to get a fully xdg-portals powered system with plasma.

Truthfully, it’s because I’ve become increasingly lazy lately,but I’ve been looking for a reason to move away from systemd ,as I am not a fan of hard dependencies like that anymore - been using arch for years and am looking to try other init system to sort of break away from monopolies.
You’re right of course,however, I find the Void documentation very lacking TBH and getting a minimal install with plasma and pipewire so what I need.
Edit: thanks for the recommendations. I completely forgot to check distrowatch.
Linus No Tech Tips.
I can’t for the life of me get used to Gnome on my desktop. I tried so many times, but I always get the feeling of using a tablet.
I like the concept, but it’s simply a laptop or tablet centered DE, at best.
Nothing much. now WhatsApp can’t be installed on any custom Roms. if you installed it a while back, it should still work though.
Whatsapp no longer works on any aosp ROM, even with locked bootloaders. It requires attestation and bootloader lock, so the only way to use it it either with stock ROM, or - like I currently am - with matrix bridge (which pretty much sucks).
I wish I could convince relatives Signal is the same, but better, but they are still on Yahoo and Facebook, so they are a completely lost cause (even my wife doesn’t want to, as she says she already has WhatsApp and that’s enough).
Edit: End rant. You might not even use WhatsApp and then you can be happy. i suggest you install and use the Sapio app to check some of your apps compatibility.
There were some decent people in his team in the past. I’m not against anyone else, just his obnoxious character.
i’ll have a look at this channel. Thanks for the tip!
Oh no, not this clown again. Is he running out of content? For sure.
No one ever asked him about linux things, yet he still wishes to share his imbecile opnions with the world. What a joke!

5·1 month agoI’ve been daily driving linux since around 2002, but not for gaming initially. I switched to it fully about 5-6 years ago and havent’t looked back.
Compared to the trash Windows is? I’d rather “suffer” through 2 sessions switching really.

4·1 month agoFor me this is usually solved by opening another tty session (e.g ctrl+alt+f3 ) and going back to F2 or simply restarting the login manager service.
Might be a different issue thought.

This just makes your entire post irrelevant, not to mention you keep reposting it.

This was my take as well, so I ended up with vanilla Void.
