thank you for petting Melon❤️

Looking online it looks like everyone’s dunking on this half-assed attempt of…something🤔

This might be a dumb question but is Winamp still FOSS?

As far as I know the WCL isn’t known as being an OSI approved license

for me I thought it was a smaller cat lying on a bigger cat (with somehow the same color and coat style😂)

looking again 90° counter clockwise it could also look like she’s flexing on everyone💪😸

ahhhh thank you😂🤗

Capitalism: steal first, apologize with no real repurcussions later

no worries and best of luck!

ah thank you for calling that out👍

pacman -Sy is definitely a mistake and you are correct in that it should be -S <packages> or -Syu

I’ve edited my previous comment to reflect this thank you!

while I’m not sure about the tiling WM front I can help with the KDE optimization on Arch part:

To preface I’m sharing sections of my Bash script that I’m in the process of eventually releasing under AGPL-3.0 which should help explain the editing/verboseness of them.

For base/minimal Arch Linux Packages:

## `btrfs-progs` is dependent/only required if you use BTRFS as your file system.
## `grub` is also dependent if you use GRUB instead of Systemd as your init system.
## intel-ucode replaces amd-ucode (as discerned from your comment on this post) which installs Intel-based microcode for your processor/CPU.
pacstrap -K /mnt intel-ucode base base-devel btrfs-progs efibootmgr grub iptables-nft linux linux-firmware linux-lts man nano networkmanager pipewire pipewire-alsa pipewire-jack pipewire-pulse sudo

For Installing Core Packages

### grub-btrfs is omitted as it is orphaned as of Sept 3, 2024. https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/grub-btrfs/.
pacman -S --needed bash-completion cryptsetup dnsmasq e2fsprogs efibootmgr firewalld man-db networkmanager sddm sddm-kcm

AMD GPU Related Packages

## Installing Video Drivers
## FOSS AMD GPU Drivers
## Please see the table on https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xorg
pacman -S --needed mesa vulkan-radeon libva-mesa-driver mesa-vdpau xf86-video-amdgpu

## Enable the multilib repository for 32-bit application support:
sed -i "/\[multilib\]/,/Include/"'s/^#//' /etc/pacman.conf

## To enable 32-bit application support, the multilib repository is enabled by default using the sed command above. This allows the necessary drivers to be installable from the multilib repository.
pacman -S --needed lib32-mesa lib32-libva-mesa-driver lib32-vulkan-radeon lib32-mesa-vdpau
## Owners of older AMD graphics cards (GCN 1&2) may also want to install the ATI driver:
#pacman -S --needed xf86-video-ati

Some packages were omitted from the installation lines above as this was taken from my custom installer for self-hosting services.
I’d recommend checking the links provided above to to figure out what additional packages you want for yourself🤗

when I saw the thumbnail I thought the cat had a blue wizard/witch’s hat for a sec

well…by selling both the cable and wall adapter as separate items it doubles the packaging by necessity so it was still never about reducing waste

which is why I never have and never will own any of their products.

yeahh :/

not wanting to be born due to our current and future dystopian outlook is unfortunately totally understandable

What are some ways to encourage posts that are more engaging?

as a volunteer mod that’s guilty of linkposting I’d honestly say there’s 2 things that would probably encourage fellow linkers to do more which is:

1. Thanking posters who are currently and consistently posting links with additional content/info.
2. Donations
   • honestly financial support goes a long way for higher quality content, like just look at YouTubers or content creators who have Patreon, Kofi, Liberapay in contrast to those who only have sponsors or aren’t paid at all

Enjoy nature before it gets clearcut for money

Does anyone know of a Discord alternative?

super adorbs🥰🤗❤️

I’ve seen people do a similar thing with a separate encrypted home partition which is decrypted by a key stored in your encrypted root.

Do you happen to have a link to this?

However, I’d strongly recommend you use an LVM on LUKS setup (this is what I do). That way you decrypt one partition and you don’t have to mess around with keyfiles. #LVM_on_LUKS

Looking at the wiki it seems doable (in relation to revising my script) and as far as I can tell the tradeoffs seems better than #LUKS on a partition

much appreciated for the recommendation!
