I’ve bought several Pine products over the years, and they’re all on a shelf gathering dust. If you like writing software to make a cost-engineered piece of hardware with basically no useful software at all work as you might expect an actual product you paid for from a shop, they’re great.

If you’re expecting a useful out of box experience, or even a useful experience after hours of hacking and tuning, they are not for you.

Given I can have four Gtk apps not in FlatPaks all have different title bars in GNOME proper, I don’t think this will ever work properly.

It’s boring and predictable, which is precisely what I want from a distribution. It also benefits from not being a desktop OS, or a server OS, or an embedded OS, it’s all of those: learning Debian is useful even if you hate it and don’t run it personally because you will encounter it somewhere.

You have swap, which is pointless in this day and age, and will just burn a hole in the flash and delay the OOM killer doing its work. Look at ntfsresize to shrink that Windows partition down to the minimum. Then maybe image the partitions and obliterate them from the SSD. Use LVM instead to give yourself future flexibility. 1TB NVMe SSDs are so cheap these days they might as well put them in boxes of cereal.

Yes, Debian.

Air is fundamentally a terrible conductor of electricity and is full of noise. Use a wire.

ext4 because I value my data and don’t want to lose it. I used to mess about with ZFS for mass storage but it’s a university course to learn how to use and have decent performance.

I used to use XFS, but ext4 caught up.

And I used to use XFS… on something other than Linux.

Helix. It’s modal like Vim but the defaults just work, and a quick “hx --health” will list every mode and what package you need to install for the language server.

He missed “Drew DeVault forking maintained packages and abandoning them”

node-ip not ip. If you’re just a Linux user don’t worry, it’s just some Node BS going down - again.

I ask because that repo says “The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.” and yet it exists only to abuse other people’s creative rights.

Then then why not buy the CD?

Why not just use cdparanoia with the original CD?

Big Clive has done teardowns of IKEA chargers before and rates them highly for quality and safety.

I struggle to be interested in any bling project written by C++ “coders” since they were 9 who don’t even know how copyright works so use a pseudonym there instead - they’re almost always inexperienced children. And children are almost always sociopaths.
