If you go with Wayland, use Hyprland. It’s pretty easy to find configs for Hyprland on github and/or tutorials on YouTube. I watched a few YouTube tutorials to get an understanding of how it works and then adjusted the base config to my liking.

If you’re using x11, there are more window manager options to choose from. I have no recommendations there, but I know i3, DWM, bwspm, and openbox are all popular and should have tutorials and configs readily available to work from.

Agree.

Caldera OpenLinux 2.2 somewhere around 2000. Ran that for a year or two until the PC it was on died.

Next time I was able to run it was 2008ish on a pos dell laptop on which I installed Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron). When that laptop died a year or so later I went macOS and was happy there until about 2022ish.

Now I’m running it across several machines for different purposes.

Arch dualbooting OpenSUSE Tumbleweed on my tinkering laptop.

Ubuntu Server 22.04 on my server (started with 18.04)

Fedora 41 on family computers/laptops

Asahi on the last bit of Apple hardware left in the house

Raspberry Pi OS on a number of PiS serving different purposes.

A subscription web service

I did as well, small comfort.

And it’ll be subscription based.

I expect an affinity subscription plan.

Awesome!

I use my airpods with my graphene os device (also a 7a) every day. One thing I’d recommend doing is first connect the airpods to a macos/iOS device and go into settings to customize the double tap/squeeze options for your airpods. This will then be the behavior those actions will have with your graphene device. Then have all apple devices forget those airpods.

Once that’s done you should be able to have your 7a find and connect to the airpods once you put them as n pairing mode.

I love zoxide. Makes traversing the filesystem so much faster!

I really hope it sticks. Then something decent will have come out of this shit (US) government.

Isn’t this like the third time they’ve done this and it lasts until Microsoft backs a dump truck of money up to the government?

Don’t get me wrong though. I hope it sticks! Fuck Microsoft.

Edit: spelling

Brave is a choice I guess. To each their own. Today I watched a video where a guy was using edge on fedora. That kinda broke my brain.

You can do this with the dd command. To prep:

Set up a live boot USB stick with your distro of choice.

Install another SSD/nvme/HDD at least the same size as your bookworm install into your bookworm machine. If that’s not an option connect a USB drive that’s at least the same size as the drive with your bookworm installation.

Boot into the live USB on the bookworm machine.

Make sure the partition(s) from your bookworm install are unmounted.

Quadruple check the drives/devices for the dd command. Here’s the basics of the command:

dd if=/device/where/bookworm/is/installed of=USB/or/second/drive/in/machine bs=8M status=progress

So, if your bookworm install is on /dev/sda, and the USB or secondary is /dev/sdb, then the Cmand would be:

dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=8M status=progress

Heh. I haven’t started exploring other shells yet.

Perfect. I’m feeling comfortable enough with bash that next on my list is AWK. Gonna download this when I get home!

Used thinkpad is an easy choice. If you want new, I’ve been very happy with the framework 13

If it has to be a de, I’d pick gnome. Otherwise it’s hyprland.

That’s what pisses me off. I’d never give my data willing, but it’s unwillingly given through any relatives that did do this.
