what’s the tea?
you said it best yourself?
I dunno, they seem soft? Like they go out of true every time I change a tire and now one of them has developed a low spot. It’s really weird. I’ve never had a set of wheels behave like this before.
I’m sure it’s my fault somehow.
No systemd (a whole 'nuther barrel of peeves)
the only really well supported way to do that is https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Gentoo_Without_systemd
In spite of how much of a train wreck systemd actually is, I feel like this is a futile endeavor.
this only further validates my weirdo decision to keep running gentoo on my home server
I’ve got a bunch of crappy little ARM sbcs floating around that are running whatever stupid Linux distribution they came with, but my “new” x220 I want to actually use the display instead of telnetting in from my macbook like G-d themself intended. So I’m refamiliarising myself with the CADT Model, which was one of the things that drove me away from the free Unices in the first place.
https://voidlinux.org is systemd free and works good on thinkpads i’ve got half a dozen + a lot of other desktops & servers running void w very lil intervention
there’s even a spin with musl libc if you don’t want anything to run
i can’t recommend a desktop environment i just use a thin wrapper over wmutils for moving windows and sxhkd for keybindings
It hardly seems worth even having a bug system if the frequency of from-scratch rewrites always outstrips the pace of bug fixing. Why not be honest and resign yourself to the fact that version 0.8 is followed by version 0.8, which is then followed by version 0.8?
I lol’d.
Still running Ubuntu 18.04 on my Dell XPS.
How is the new-ish stuff? I just decommissioned my Linux box at work that was running 14.04 (LTS 4 LYFE) and I quite liked it, Unity and all.
There are a few quirks to overcome, but from there, it’s a totally usable desktop operating system. I really like it.
One has to get the kernel options correct and it sleeps and stands by correctly. All the networking, audio, other stuff just works. The Nvidia drivers are shit, but that’s also true on Windows.
Been dual booting Windows 10 for games and much prefer the Ubuntu UI. Admittedly Windows 10 is getting less annoying.
openbsd runs really well on my t420s, and has excellent man pages…
Stop talking about computer minutiae in the wheelbuilding thread you fucking nerds!

TC I have not used Windows 10 at all. Mac at home for the last 7 years, Linux as a main machine at work for the last almost 11 years (Mac now), and the token Windows laptop is still running 7. But that thing is going to be assimilated to 10 soon enough.
Friend of mine has WSL installed, claims it’s awesome and he’s been an Ubuntu user for the past few years.
Docker doesn’t suck, hyper-v is decent, vscode is really good, WSL ticks a lot of boxes. I think my bro even mentioned there was a terminal that’s good. It mostly behaves like a modern OS should. There’s just the one thing where MS occasionally tries to use the OS as an ad platform which is wholly intolerable but I think I have most onerous stuff disabled.

this was handy for me (kind of) still haven’t finished my wheels

Someone else is committing to them. Maybe see how they do.
