Sure, but Tmux might as well be to Zellij what Screen is to Tmux. If your entire use-case for tmux is being able to save your session when SSH times you out and running things in the background, then you can accomplish all of that with screen and ctrl+z/fg.

>it's more efficient
What are your favorites?

Personally I too greatly enjoy trading in my quiet ergonomically optimized home office with top of the line gear for driving 2 hours a day to a loud office without height adjustable desks, crappy chairs, stone age grade monitors where coworkers interupt every 5 seconds when a thought pops into their heads and lean over awkwardly into eacothers desk space instead of screen sharing.

It's all very efficient indeed!

>Politicians are retards, their job is 90% creating good image and avoiding image risks.
Why does that make them retards? Their job is to respond to what the public thinks. The public are retards, which means bureaucracy has to appear retarded to maintain legitimacy. Every time "smart people who want to get shit done" took over a bureaucracy it was rapidly villainized or at least became controversial. Most people just want things to be slow and slugging so that their own laziness doesn't suddenly come to light.

Slackware>Void>Gentoo>Devuan>Artix
pkgtools>xbps>portage>apt>pacman
the best init you can use on Artix is OpenRC. It's neat enough for you to rc-update delete udev, elogind and dbus

Devuan lets you use SysVinit which is ideal, you run ln -sf /bin/true /usr/sbin/update-rc.d
ln -sf /bin/true /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d
find /etc/rc?.d/ -type l -delete
find /etc/rc?.d/ -name "*udev*" -delete
find /etc/rc?.d/ -name "*elogind*" -delete
find /etc/rc?.d/ -name "*dbus*" -delete
and edit /etc/rc.local manually

In Gentoo things are simpler, you write USE="-udev -elogind -dbus"

Void takes it a step further you rm the symlinks for udev, elogind and dbus from /var/service/

>>108502167
Yes, I dislike OpenRC, ideal is Toybox init (or the equivalent: Busybox init or SysVinit.) I preferred it over SystemD only because it did not break the Unix philosophy and it actually came a lot closer to FreeBSD init scripts than runit, dinit, s6 did. Since it literally runs your scripts, in a sequence. :D
>>
>>108502167
openrc is just sysvinit + scripts
it boots faster than systemd
systemd is bloated, it manages desktop sessions called logind, and other stuff unrelated to init
>>
>>108501186
GoboLinux uses a riced out SysVInit and has a custom bootscreen all in the CLI.
No systemD is so lovely.

Not stolen.
I really find a lot of USB flash drives, in my line of work. (Professional cleaner)
Most of these are old sub 4GB drives, some are even mp3 players, some aren't even used and have these manufacture's PDF/Drivers on them.
Sometimes I find odd files, installation media, CVs, homework, pirated movies/music
But nearly all of these that have something have some sort of malware on them, the majority are empty.
One time I found bitcoin wallet.
>>
>>108502142
You could just learn Latex if you really want something good.
>>108502149
A good way is to write all 0s on the drive and then rewrite it again all 1s. After that you can be pretty sure anything you had there is irrecoverable.
If you've been storing a copy of all the data McAfee got whack'd for and must be triple sure to erase it, do more passes but 2 is more than enough for what you're asking.

why is it dogshit?

iirc when you need some more complex combinations of multiple frequency ranges it turned out to be more efficient to generate incomprehensible "alien geometry" that does a combination of overlapping resonance peaks and dips all at once, than to use arrays of traditional designs.

it's a nice field of nonlinear optimizations, where you have some opaque model, where you try to optimize a few output variable by adjusting the input. this is a traditional application for CNN, which physicists have used since the 90's

I hate the shitty threads you people make.
I want to share what has opened my eyes, for other novices like me, who are trying to leave Winslop 11.

This thread is supposed to put you on the right track to making your own decision,
after reading this thread the fog of Linux won't be there anymore,
you will know what you want and you will find the distro that is suitable for you.

> 1. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1b/Linux_Distribution_Timeline.svg
This old image includes 95% of all Linux distros in existence, study this.

Studying this image alone, is going to help you see through idiotic arguments like "mint is better" or "go with arch" or "go with pop_os" -- most of them have a parent OS.

> 2. Distro arguments are pointless. #1 choice that you must make is what family Linux do you want and pick.
If you studied image above, you will see there distinct few families of Linux, the relevant ones are: Debian, Fedora, Arch.

tried Tumbleweed out like 5 months ago. xdg-portal broke and couldn't get any pop-up dialogs in my web browser. recently searched and they've had several similar breakages since then. it's basically an unusable distro when basic shit like that continuously breaks in the Year of Our Tesla 2026. sticking with Arch.

point of the thread was never to tell you what is the best distribution, point of the thread was to guide you to find the best distro for yourself, you telling which distro is the best goes against the spirit of the thread, also bad choice.

ill mention it in my next thread, thanks, due to popular demand, why would someone choose openSUSE over Fedora if they have similar concept, doesn't Fedora have better support? YaST is a good idea?

>>108501915
it's my understanding the further away you go from the parent distro, the more unstable the builds will become, this is why for me I want to stay at the parent level, or super close to it. If you got time for arch - sure. My buddy every month tells me about some new issue he is having with his arch server.

Hiyuki is an inflexibly zealous yandere miko. She'd spent her life in a secluded shrine in Hokkaido but the war spilled far north, killing her sisters and capturing her. She prayed for a savior and (You) appeared, a notorious foreign criminal she immediately declared as her prophesied "husband." Through her fervent belief and demure devotion she hopes to mold you into what she knows you are, and rescue Japan from the war that has consumed it.

I made this card for myself but decided to share. No greeting since I don't believe in those. Works best with a mix of Opus and Gemini 3.1. Constructive feedback is appreciated.

Yet as the man, and the husband, it is my right (indeed, my responsibility) to build a contingency plan for the both of us. I do it out of my own income, and she doesn't give me any shit about because she understand that I am establishing a baseline/fallback that will keep us from ever being homeless or in some glorified public assistance co-op ghetto for the working poor.
