Sure they have a lot of money and income, but they have a lot of expenses too you know!
Like paying the continuous stream of victims of sexual assault since those pious clergymembers can’t seem to stop raping children

I liked using Arch, but i got tired of Allan breaking into my house and bricking my computers all the time, so i ended up switching
Meanwhile my old server was happy chugging along on 256MB for many many years

Shitting on windows is the most Linux thing you can do
Display manager I thought the d stood for Desktop, but i’m thinking of de, i see i’ve been mixing up terms, i’ve also been under the incorrect understanding that window managers and desktop environments were mutually exclusive, e.g. a desktop environment like xfce would conflict with a window manager like i3
Those scripts look cleaner than mine, perhaps i should give it another go, i’m currently on ubuntu, but many of the packets being 15 years out of date is starting to get annoying, i miss aur with its [
packages ]-git
Quickswitch or automatic switch to a different profile, i often found myself enabling an external display and disabling the built-in one, then when packing down my laptop i forgot to manually configure the built in, meaning when i got home i had a laptop with a blank screen, Sometimes i was able to log in, open a terminal and enable the screen, other times i would have to reboot it. Something that could automatically enable the builtin if no external display is connected would’ve gone a long way for my usecase (my attempts at writing scripts for that never worked from what i recall, something got messed up when going to sleep)
Doesn’t xfce use a dm? What kind of display configuration does it give? A gui for manually configuring the layout or something more?
Based on my search when i looked into arandr earlier, and also my search now, it cannot :( looks like it’s just a graphical interface for xrand
But looks like there’s a different project, autorandr
, that looks promising, it won’t automatically run when a display is connected or disconnected, but that’s easy enough to do with an udev rule or something
Until now, i care a ton!
Oh wait, “Nobody who matters”
dang, nevermind
mister_monster seems to suggest it is though
Aren’t there any applications that can automatically manage displays? Many dms let you cycle through "only primary, “only secondary”, “mirrored” “side by side”, is that something that has to be built in to the wm/dm?
Is that something arandr can do? I couldn’t get it to do anything useful, so i ended up writing some scripts on top of xrandr to do it
I’ve only tried EndeavourOS with the i3 wm, it was better than setting it up myself from scratch, but it still left a lot to be desired (in particular; no way to deal with external displays as far as i could tell, except using xrandr
)
But i guess it’s more focused on the desktop manager options?
I had an update take like 20 minutes
Though that was primarily caused by the machine having like 200kBps download speed
I also use arch btw
Upgraded my 1 EndeavourOS machine 5 times today.
Didn’t reboot and all was fine.
I had a similar error, though not from the compiler
Error message just read this should never happen
I use GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux btw
God damn they beat me to it, and you beat me to tell them they beat me to it
