Re: Distro-hoppers anonymous

Currently, installing Gentoo again. Been at is since Sunday morning, now Monday evening (not the whole time but all day Sunday and since 4pm Monday).

Feels like its take a lot longer this time.

OMG!  That's longer than installing Windows!

...and still not as painful

@PackRat! The Gentoo ghost appears.

Yeah, don't do that. I'm sure for you, and for over 90% of Linux users, it would be high-risk/low reward, and if you got it installed the ghost joke wouldn't be funny.

Re: Distro-hoppers anonymous

In case anyone is interested, yesterday siduction
published new (test)iso's, with the t64 transition largely over.

Besides the sources, manifest, md5 and sha256 these are the iso's

-kde
-xfce
-xorg (with fluxbox)
-and the nox (without X, with 1.1GB size my favorite), because I have been installing openbox; labwc; dk or sway on it for about 1 year and thus have the latest from Debian. Maybe I'll also try hyprland...  But, labwc I'm not done yet and have taken it very much to my heart.

hyprland on the basis of siduction-nox, installed this morning. Took ~110 minutes, without errors.

Thanks!

Outside of the questionnaire from the script, there were also 103 wallpapers in the 110 minutes at the end, which I accepted and which amounted to ~670MB alone. 

The wallpaper changes live and rolls out from top right to bottom left. Depending on the character of the wallpaper, the waybar also changes according to the theme. Very cool.
Overall, the desktop system is completely updated with Hyprland by re-executing the script. There is a lot to explore.

BTW, I don't have nvidia.
I still want to test this on a laptop with nvidia.

Now that's asking for OOPS!

No.
If you deny nvidia with N in the questionnaire, then no driver from Nvidia is loaded and installed. You keep nouveau.

I also equipped this laptop with hyprland today. It has an SSD and, since I already knew my way around, it only took 65 minutes. There was no OOPS. Let's see how long.

Re: Distro-hoppers anonymous

OK we have a misunderstanding.

I mean testing with nvidia would be an oops!

I don't ever want another nvidia experience again.

Playing around with Linuxhub Lite and Linuxhub Openbox on my testing labtop.  Lite is first pic and openbox is second pic.  Both are very light on resources and interesting to mess around with.

Re: Distro-hoppers anonymous

      

Now I know what 103 wallpapers are for...
They change automatically when you log in or during operation. Apart from the setting for the weather, I haven't had to do anything yet.

If this is the future, I'd like to be 60 years younger...

Less the age I am now - 9 another months.

And I'd refuse to come out!

Re: Distro-hoppers anonymous

The day yesterday with Debian-Hyprland was a bit chaotic.

First, I had installed unison on the HP laptop to 'pull over' DATA from the desktop. For this I use the unstable repo of npreining, because it ensures that the unison application is more up-to-date than debian.
The source computer in the home network is BL-Beryllium (TP x40).
After setting it up, however, it failed to work with the info: "bash unknown command in line 1".
.Since I had no time for troubleshooting (probably due to the version numbers, Beryllium(Debian11)--->Debian-Hyprland(unstable), I finally copied with the command.

scp -r -p -v /DATA/match unklarer@192.168.178.46:/media/DATEN

~21 GB of data in ~41 minutes.
r=recursive
p=the original timestamp is retained
v=verbose

Unison does this in about half the time.
------------------------------------------------------
I continued with the desktop. I had set Hyprland to the suspended state at lunchtime, but waking it up again did not work. No input mask for the password appears. This works on the HP laptop.
Since nothing worked, I shut down the computer with Alt+Print+b.

The restart greeted me with the initramfs and the message of a damaged superblock.
To repair this, was from BL-Boron a

sudo fsck /dev/sda7

was necessary.

On Githup I had seen updated files for Debian-Hyperland.
First I updated siduction-unstable and then ran the install script from Githup again. Again the known questions have to be answered before the script starts.

After the restart I am greeted by the new look.

          

I hadn't considered that the new waybar configuration files would be used and my own settings would be lost for the time being. Fortunately, there is a backup for ALL of them and restoring them is easy (the backup is created by the script).

Yes, and, the error with suspend has remained on the desktop... 

So, I've written this down here to perhaps encourage some of you to give Hyprland a try. It's worth it!

Re: Distro-hoppers anonymous

Installed Garuda yesterday.  Xfce distro but added openbox window manager.  Logged into openbox in the screenshot.  Since it is Arch based I am really liking it among my other installed Arch distros.
