Kill that with fire

Yeah, I tried to reboot, kernel’s gone

sudo make guitar

why my cursor gone?

XFCE. it’s dumb, simple, it gives you a panel to access your programs, your desktop icons, and nothing else. I just want my computer to let me do my things, not have a built-in ‘brew a cup of coffee’ button

Rust is good. Not perfect. The borrow checker sometimes can be a pain(cant use immutable reference because already using a mutable reference…), compile times are abysmal.

But the language itself is really solid. It actually gives me similar vibes to using C/C++ but without having to fight the compiler or keep fiddling with CMake for 10 hours just so that it detects that one lib you’re trying to use.

Surprisingly, Rust borrows some inspirations from Python, so it doesn’t feel that foreign and alien, but it still has a learning curve to it, specially with all the different types (eg. u8/i8, u16/i16/f16, u32/i32/f32, u64/i64/f64, usize, &str vs String, etc) But if you ever spent any amount of time with any other language that is on a similar level than C or C++, you’ll be in quite familiar territory

Only thing that I can tell you that you’ll have a whole paradigm shift once it clicks with you, is the use of Structs, impl’s for abstration and traits. Once those clicks with you, the way you approach your code really shifts

Work-wise, I figured out how to deprecate the mess that is multiple apps for the same purpose at work, and instead make a foundation to have the same app on all platforms (Windows, Linux, Web & Android)

First time using Rust on client-side, quite hyped with how stuff with turn out to be

Personal-wise, Had idea for a new game I want to try and make, just gotta puzzle and brainstorm the main character idea and flesh out more of the world itself

YouTube does depending on the content you upload I had to validate my own documents with Google because a small animation I had posted had made use of copyrighted stuff, and when I went to edit it to remove the copyrighted music, it kept nagging to “validate who I am”

I haven’t switched to Wayland yet cuz I’m stuck with a GT 710, which only supports the 470 series driver, which… Doesn’t really run Wayland. Hopefully some day, I’ll get my hands on a Radeon GPU and then fully migrate to Wayland, cuz my laptop already rocks it with Sway and, no complains at all

(I know about it having EGLStreams support which only GNOME uses, but it has no GBM support, which… well, all other compositors uses)

AIO has a updater but it is manual by default You need to enable automatic updates yourself, which… Is done through a bash script you need to add yourself into the system crontab

And not only that, the instructions do say things could break and even suggests setting up backups for such

Nouveau sadly doesn’t work for me, it’s abysmally bad performance even on X11

And the new compat layer is new for me, might give it a try

Nope, it has the RJ45 in the side and the RJ11 in the back

“I miss those old ports” is what I’d say, but my laptop has 'em :3

That is fake https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/packages?name=glibc*&branch=edge&repo=&arch=&maintainer= I have felt for it too, but glibc-full doesn’t exist I have found a package on github though, that claims to add glibc, but whenever I tried to use it to, for example, run the nvidia installer, the entire thing just segfaults

My laptop has a LED that lights up when the caps lock is on I installed a buzzer on it

RJ45 and RJ11

Unlock the password manager

I have been using Alpine as my main desktop system

If you need gaming, or you have a Nvidia GPU, your idea is dead on the water, not having glibc makes nvidia drivers impossible to use.

But that aside, the desktop feels snappy, the system is extremely small so knowing exactly how everything is running/working, and OpenRC is a breath of fresh air compared to the ‘do everything’ SystemD. All pieces of Alpine just does one thing, which makes things really predictable.

Albeit, my path isn’t without hiccups, for example X11 made suspend when the lid closes outright crash X11, so was forced into Wayland And Pipewire, I have to restart it whenever I switch from the computer speakers to headphones or vice-versa

You’ll find some small bugs and small issues, but if you really want a more spartan and simplistic way to handle your linux box, it is amazing

Also, APK is the best package manager, I felt in love with it

If the language can just break during runtime because of code indentation, I can’t really trust it

Poke around with Caddy on bare metal Idk if it is something I was doing or just placebo from my head, but Caddy is a lot faster on bare than Docker in Alpine Tho the drawback is having to manually set-up logging if you need (otherwise g’luck with whatever it decides to throw at syslog)

Alpine It just gives me the system and go “do whatever” It’s snappy, decluttered, doesn’t get in the way It doesn’t have a bazillion systemd components, it’s as barebones as it can be
