Mentioning using filler words like "like/um" etc reminds me of the old radio game show justaminute.

no hesitation, repetition or deviation. would be a challenge 😝😝

I've been using distkernel builds for a while, but they've recently gone wrong and I'm not sure why.

When a kernel is upgraded as part of the normal upgrade process, it rebuilds the kernels as you'd expect, but it builds them against the running kernel, not the just-installed kernel. In fact the module upgrade breaks the new kernel so that it panics when I boot it.

The process I have to do is manually `emerge gentoo-kernel`, reboot (without nvidia drivers), then `emerge \@module-rebuild` then reboot again to get the external modules working again.

Any idea why this might be happening and how to fix it? I would love kernels to just upgrade as part of the normal package update again.

Hey folks, I've got an ultra-wide monitor at work and it makes a lot more sense for me to have my start bar with the button and window icons vertically on the left.

It's windows 11, but I can't install any of my own software because it's a company computer, is there a way to do this?

I'm looking for a subtle, low resource app to use as my desktop background, to be hosted in hyprwinwrap.

any suggestions? what are you folks using?

So I'm a long time gentoo user. The other day my boot drive glitched out temporarily. Looking at the stats, it's been on for over 7 years, so it's time to replace.

I could just copy everything over from the old drive to the new, but it's probably a good time for a refresh. I want to try a few more of the new ways of working and clean up my build.

I'm currently on ext4, thinking of trying btrfs for the root partition, but not looking for supporting multiple volumes.

Also going to try the new modular kernel build and configuration system, rather than installing sources and doing the build manually afterwards.

I need good real time audio performance for the vcv rack synthesizer.

And some g

I feel there's something that's not been discussed in the Linux gaming space, especially around the anti cheat and related areas.

Systems like Linux are built, from the ground up, to be a system that you can trust. To that end, you have, or can have, full access to inspect, modify and share every single aspect of the system.

However, the problem with this is that while I can build a system that I trust entirely, there's no way I can build a system that you trust. And this is what we need, in this case for real-time competitive gaming. We fundamentally need to trust the other people's machines to ensure they're playing by the same rules as we are.

In the Windows world, they can buil

WAN show, around the 1hr mark Linus started explaining the issue i have with apple quite nicely.

i realised back in the day that apple didn't want me as a customer. i had the old ipod nano, wanted to listen to podcasts on the way to work.

but i use linux. there were apps i could use. but every update was a fight where the app needed to be updated to work around apple's latest attempt to shut them out. they were literally fighting me because i wasn't bought into their ecosystem in the way they wanted me to be.

i don't want the systems i buy, pay for, to actively fight me using them.

so no, apple things look great, but i will never buy them.

With all the hype about hyperpigs recently, they're starting their accent!

We need a new chair in the home office but want to try them out before we buy. is there a good physical store that lets you sit on things before you buy them?

staples used to be ok, but they don't have stores anymore.
