so is cosmic dead yet

>>102260122That's a fucking awful UI. I know what the difference is (one requires clicking, the other focuses by hovering) but they should really have some description.Their settings app looks worse than KDE and people constantly hate on KDE for that yet Cosmic in its Alpha state gets praised.
>>102260183>That's a fucking awful UIDon't care, unlike GNOME it has features without going overboard like KDE.
What are some distros a privacy schizo can use as a daily driver? Not tails or qubes, something regular that's just very secure or can be configured to be very secure
>>102260243KDE has features too I was just pointing out the hypocrisy. Why does KDE get shat on so much for poor UI design yet Cosmic in its broken Alpha state gets a pass?I hope if it's still like that when it's stable they get some well deserved criticism. It looks a bit like a toy right now. It looks like programmers built it instead of designers and you know what? That's okay if that's what you're going for. System76 is going to be shipping this to their paying customers though.
>>102260292Parrot:https://parrotsec.org/No, I've not used it before. It has a good reputation though.
>>102260292Stop playing security theater. Acquire basic bwrap / networking skills and disable GPU acceleration for anything with internet access. All the distro has to do is provide updates and not be utterly retarded.
>>102260483lmao>>102260292alpine or devuan

>>102259591How do I figure out what dependencies I'm missing to make a game run on wine?
I just installed Arch on my old 2012 MacBook Pro. Now what? I want the i3 wm
>>102261194sudo pacman -S i3-wm
>>102261156Check appdb.winehq.org and protondb.
>>102261005>provide updates: fail
>>102261226i don't need xorg and all that x shit?
>>102261421Those packages will get pulled in as dependencieshttps://i3wm.org/docs/userguide.htmlhttps://wiki.archlinux.org/title/I3
After years of copy pasting chown and chmod commands from guides I've finally set 15 minutes aside to just look up what the fuck they mean and do.I didn't expect it to be so easy kek.
>>102261356Debian falls at updating basic internet having desktop packages in a timely manner. Everything downstream from Debian fails even harder.
>>102261561It's Debian testing not stable. It's a rolling release. It's not going to catch on fire like Arch but still has packages that aren't completely outdated.
>>102261260>protondbShould I check protondb even if I'm not using proton?
>>102259591What's the recommended way to go about adding third-party software to Gentoo? Adding overlays seems like kind of a messy solution compared to having a single centralized repo like the AUR.
>>102261005What about hyperbola? Or is the rolling release shit an issue?
>>102261981Replying to>>102260905
How do you run services in separate chroots using systemd service files>dockerno
>>102259591>hmm, my vm.sh qemu script looks kinda dumb, I need some proper minimal vm config manager>maybe I should try libvirt with virsh>https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.htmlNah, I'm fine with my qemu script
>>102262017Nigger Docker is literally the best fucking option to do this. Baremetal performance with isolation and multiple configuration options.But if your autistic ass insists then the correct way to approach it is to use systemd-nspawnSee: https://superuser.com/questions/961165/start-systemd-nspawn-systemd-container-on-boot
systemd-nspawn
>>102261442You lied to me, installing i3-wm alone doesn't install any xorg things, i have no xinit or startx
>>102262510That's just Arch for you. Most distros would at least pull the Xorg server.
>>102262510Use a DM, don't be autistic.
What do you guys use for quick calculations?- A dedicated graphical calculator app is straight-forward but isn't that portable, likely won't be scriptable, and might not be as fast to use as something with a CLI.- Using your scripting language of choice via eval or a REPL can be convenient, but it's arguably unnecessary to load up an interpreter for a simple set of calculations.- Every machine is going to have `bc` on it, but I have a feeling it can get annoying having to remember to change scale for different operations and things like that.- Something else, like a third-party bc replacement? I haven't tried any, and they're probably convenient for a personal machine but may not be accessible on others.
