One suggestion is to look for -bin versions of the packages you want. Those are precompiled and should install only marginally slower than a regular pacman package.

Linux aside, would it not benefit the world if people moved away from non-free software? To me, this is a good reason to encourage people to switch, not discourage them.


I have a few Ext4 drives connected and I mount them in /etc/fstab and that’s it.
I’ve yet to find a reason to change it.


Waydroid’s performance is pretty good.
I never tried any games through it my my guess is it would work, but…
That said, I will re-emphasize that the performance of apps in Waydroid is pretty dang smooth once its running. I stopped using it on my phone since I no longer needed the one app I had it for.

What did you find you either liked or disliked about the GTK + Python combo for building this?
Here to recommend Sayonara as its the best one on Linux, in my opinion.
OpenVPN into my router


Interesting, I appreciate the explanation.
It’s crazy how much a single node instance can max out my huge desktop CPU, so I can imagine.


I’m curious, why would VS Code be installed on the server and not a developers machine?


If you don’t want to go the Emacs or Vim routes, try Kate. Neovim is amazing but Kate is too from what I hear. Similar support for LSPs.


No, but I don’t believe I saw the issue until the 6.13.x kernels either


What kernel version? I had similar issues on similar hardware. These have gone away in more recent kernels though.


This is provably what I would have needed. But since I couldn’t log in, I couldn’t do anything.


I used to use Plex, then one day my internet was down and since Plex couldn’t phone home, it wouldn’t let me log in to watch media ON MY LAN.
So yeah it’s inherently broken. That’s before you even consider the licensing.
It really only makes sense to me when your distro is older or doesn’t have the software you want. I fully prefer native packages too, though, but I use Flatpak on phone.


Phosh kicks ass
Um, my phone?
You should update the list with Linux phones.
Phosh is good, very lightweight. Plasma is good, I have used it on a touch laptop. Never tried Plasma Mobile.
Not quite as that its user-created and submitted.
But yeah lots of packages have a -bin counterpart that will install a lot quicker than compiling it for yourself.
