>>107011132Gentoo as a beginner is not that harder to install when compared to Arch, it's the same process if you're thinking objectively about it: Just following the wiki and running several commands you don't know about(yet)But if you're going to think about options and try to customize it to your needs, the complexity rises - but not the difficulty, since wiki is there for that too.

How's EndavourOS? I plan to use it as my main OS and have a windows partition for like, Mostly Fortnite, maybe Clip Studio
>>107011282It's basically Arch with a handheld live environment installer. It's a good way to get into Arch without going with the vanilla variant.

One thing I miss about sbcl when working with Julia is how fast the sbcl compiler is. I'm never waiting too long for the REPL to become responsive with sbcl, but Julia REPLs can take a while to warm up, especially at the beginning of a session.

Why all the hype over Arch? Gentoo runs way smoother and is actually open source and compatible with most hardware. All you need is hardened Gentoo w/ Secure Boot, a custom open source RISC-V desktop SBC w/ verilog and mainline Linux support / UberDDR3 / MIAOW GPUs / proven open PHY stack / iCE40 FPGA, an open ath9k 802.11 Wifi PCIe, a Modos paper display and a flash drive w/ decryption key to turn it on. Use VexRiscV chips. Will still need a SiFive development board (like a SiFive HiFivePremierP550) for writing and programming the board, and soldering equipment + microscopes. Also, "fully Libre'd Thinkpads" don't exist. Even if you wiped the firmware to the SoC, you still have the display, which is proprietary, the hard drive which is proprietary (to which there's only one company on Earth that manufactures open source hard drives, and that's Raptor Computing Systems which uses them for their Talos PCs that costs $15,000, and even if you were using an open HD, you'd still need Faraday protection to prevent sidechanneling) and so on.
>>107010839To touch up:>USB filtering / policy: use USBGuard (or an equivalent) on Linux to whitelist only approved USB device classes/vendor:product IDs before accepting HID input. This prevents a malicious composite device from exposing hidden endpoints.>udev rules: create udev match/deny lists to prevent unexpected USB descriptors from being used.>Isolate critical input: use a separate, minimal host (a tiny microcontroller you control) as the keyboard-to-host translator; the MCU forwards only standard HID events — no mass‑storage or DFU endpoints. The FE310 as a bridge is perfect here. >Prefer wired over wireless for security (no RF sniffing/remote firmware attacks).>Disable unused USB ports in firmware / physically block them with port locks.

>>107010991and it gets fucking demolished
>>107011124If it's the original Aorus Gen4 it's cheap because it's a 1st gen PCIe4 drive. Basically a PCIe3 model with a PCIe4 bus. Still more than enough for the anon's requirements but tbf so is the SN7100.
Does anyone use RX 9060 XT and play CS2 on Linux? I have a gaming laptop and thinking about building a budget PC with the GPU and an AMD CPU, but wondering how would this game work there.

SmartOS. It's rock solid, has piss easy updates, inherits a great base system from Solaris, is immutable and runs entirely in RAM, great package selection and an easy build sysyem in native zones due to using NetBSD pkgsrc, easy to reallocate resources on the fly, bhyve HVMs actually run better than on FreeBSD. Runs circles around Proxmox.https://it-notes.dragas.net/2025/09/19/freebsd-vs-smartos-whos-faster-for-jails-zones-bhyve/

Why does the red button not kill the application? Windows and linux have solved this problem for over 40 years. What is the use case of hiding a window and not actually killing the process? was steve jobs gay, retarded, or both?
>>107009752>Not many programs work like this, do you have an example? Most office suites, including libreoffice, still work that way. I am not arguing against tabs or multi-document interfaces. I'm just making a case for the macOS approach to the red button being the right one, or at least informed by a consistent philosophy of how programs should behave. It's not a novelty for novelty’s sake or Steve Jobs being “gay.”>currently i have my browser, discord, vscode, my terminal, a music player, and a pdf reader open.You do copy/paste between any two of them, right? I know I have dragged and dropped code snippets or images from pdfs into discord chats, more or less doing the same thing as someone dragging an .AIFF file to a hypercard stack in 1990. So the metaphor still holds - virtual scrapbooking between two virtual documents.>>107009801>When you start a program, do you expect no ui to open, just the top bar to change and then you decide to click on new document?This is not what macOS does, at all. Or what this thread is about. It's about behavior on closing that's being debated- or rather the fact that many people conflate "close document" with "exit program" when they are two very different things.
>>107010122>So the metaphor still holds - virtual scrapbooking between two virtual documents.I mean if you want to extend the meaning of "document" that far, sure, but to me the window still isnt representing a document in most of my applications' cases, its representing the program. Whatevers in the tab or pane or whatever could be considered a "document". Its getting into semantics though at this point, so like whatever dude. And if libreoffice does that then fine.anyway lets be clear here: steve jobs IS gay and the entire dieter rams inspired obfuscatory design philosophy is filth. Few people accelerated us more towards slop and away from true ownership than that group.

How many images should I have ideally if I wanna make a lora for an OC? Does the actual amount of images even matter anymore?
>>107011202Hmmm I don't think it matters all too much really! I think the last time I made one was like 40~50 images or soI think the general rule is you don't want too little or too much, and depending on what you're going for, not too much variationDon't quote me on that though! It's been a long time for me so i'm not exactly certain haha!I kinda wanna make another one, that'd be fun
