Thanks 8bit Al & Dobbie:

- any statements about laptop optimisation for archlabs?

To be honest, no. I don't use a laptop and neither do any of the team. Sorry I am of zero help here.

Stable or semi-rolling?

8bit

ohnonot · 2019-11-18 15:46:07

Stable. Installed it, works well.

Dobbie: the Archlabs installer got stuck on "formating /dev/sda2 to ext4".

Awesome Openbox, official release is out now. Based on Buster.

SharpBang (♯!) is a live ISO image that can be used to install a pre-configured Openbox/Tint2 desktop running on Debian stable.

Nice! Just the way I like it, from the way this sounds! I'll have to take a look at this one, even though I've already got a Buster installation with Openbox and tint2.

Ah. Thanks.

One of the strangest things recently is BSD OS's and Linux distros switching their bases to BSD or Linux. Trident went linux and Hyperbola just went BSD. Kind of an interesting turn of events.

Edit: Hyperbola going OBSD makes way more sense from a FOSS purity standpoint but then again it bites the copy-left hand that fed it (RMS Quivers something weird sounding). Trident doesn't really have the religious conflict there since it was always a permissive licensed shituation and followed HEAD/CURRENT back when it was under Chris Moore's leadership to give better hardware support which the linux kernel now does better.

^ It will be interesting when Trident has beta releases out, have read it will be available with zfs on root which should be a game changer.

Thanks for checking. Might be distro hopping over the weekend

I just tried the Lumina desktop from the Void repos. Wouldn't decorate the windows, but everything else appeared to be working. Just a quick look, didn't put much effort into getting it all configured.

Just tried Arch with Gnome 3.34.

2 releases missed and so much good stuff went into that DE.

It's RAM heavy (900MB plain DE) but it's smoother than ever (GNOME smooth definition is a quirky one).

Really love the usability behind that paradigm, softwares are simple to use, without any kind of overcapacities.

It works and for now it's all I demand from GNOME.

This helps make it a little less quirky; https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/277/impatience/

@Bridouz, I also enjoy Gnome on my Fedora 31 notebook PC.

And i solus gnome on my laptop (but i'd swap it out for solus kde if it broke).

I think i will wait until they have legacy boot figured out as currently only efi is working. Im still using old machines that are only bios/mbr enabled.

Have you the ability to install different desktop environments and window managers?

Voidlinux is saying goodbye to PGP to verify their images. Considering the issues with PGP key distribution these days, probably a good idea.

edit: some interesting reading on openbsd's signify.

I read something a few months ago that out-and-out stated that it's not safe to use PGP or GNUPG for anything, anymore. It seemed to be a reliable source, too. I'll see if I can find a link.

Later - Sorry, apparently I didn't save the link.
