auto monitor detection? no thanks, I prefer to manually use xrandr myself.

tbh i prefer to compile my window manager from source and spend hours reading through a "self-describing" config file. wait people don't compile everything from source?

All linux desktop environments are trash for the most part. All you really need is some no frills window manager to throw up some terminals and poo poo. Xfce usually does it but I've been thinking of trying one of those tiling ones with free float mode to take it even further or maybe I'll throw xmonad on top of xfce. Also do all the major desktop environments still have gradients, bubbles, and big fades?

lol transmission daemon can't handle 3k torrent files. might be time to wipe and start a new edit: seems transmission wasn't deleting files that I said to delete. This should be a fun cleanup.... b0red fucked around with this message at 16:48 on Oct 26, 2015 |

systemd flies in the face of the Unix philosophy: "do one thing and do it well," representing a complex collection of dozens of tightly coupled binaries. Its responsibilities grossly exceed that of an init system, as it goes on to handle power management, device management, mount points, cron, disk encryption, socket API/inetd, syslog, network configuration, login/session management, readahead, GPT partition discovery, container registration, hostname/locale/time management, mDNS/DNS-SD, the Linux console and other things all wrapped into one. The agenda for systemd to be an ever-growing and invasive middleware for GNU/Linux was elucidated in a 2014 GNOME Asia talk. Keep it simple, stupid.

So is it possible to extend my LVM /home partition to a second drive or should I just move my /home to the second drive. Is the first thing possible either way
|

Interesting to know, and I'd probably do this for real if it wasn't for the fact that I'd be extending a 40Gb partion on a SSD into a 2tb drive. lol thanks for the info though guys, i'll just use pvcreate and add the new ting to the lvm blah blah. i'm assuming doing it is a bad idea because data can get spread between the drives and if you lose the lvm stuff than your boned

Soricidus posted:like windows 10 even manages to have two different control panel apps with different behaviours and different things you can change in each, finally catching up with how bad Linux was like 15 years ago lmao connecting to wifi has also become Linux level bad. the wifi selector won't even open half the time and the only fix is a restart or cmd magic. feels good. this is with wpa2 enterprise networks btw

Barnyard Protein posted:that is awesome. do you know what kind of computers they use? the productivity loss of a unstable computer is so much greater than the cost of a new computer, imo. i wonder how much productivity is lost every time a dev tries to learn emacs or vim and attempts to extend it to be more like an ide should probably backup my dotfiles now that I think about it
