Helix 🧬

Both CachyOS and ALHP are reasonably popular

never heard of them. I need to research a bit more until I activate what is basically another “dangerous” non-maintainer repository. Thank you a lot for your links and explanations!

How can I trust them? At least with Arch there’s the “many eyes” principle.

Can I also compile a list of selected packages from the repositories fresh easily? E.g. Firefox? Or do I have to download their PKGBUILD to makepkg?

Where’s the difference between march=native and march=x86-64 in that case?

thanks for reminding me. Didn’t activate this on my new install since I got 64G of RAM :)

systemctl --user enable psd-resync.service

I think this is not needed since psd.service has the following in it:

[Unit]
…
Wants=psd-resync.service

What does that have to do with Linux?

You can test it on https://u2f.bin.coffee/

Here’s a Github issue about NFC on phones: https://github.com/solokeys/solo1/issues/209

Seems to not work for lots of people.

Sadly all of our huge customers use MS Office and we have to dogfeed ourselves with the whole MS 365 suite. That’s 70€ per month per user down the holes of Microsoft execs.

Macs had TPMs before Windows PCs, IIRC.

If you forget both, you upgraded the drive to a paperweight.

That’s why I have a password manager on my phone.

it’s podman-compose instead of podman compose

Don’t use it, it’s not a full replacement. The script is barely maintained and not really “official”.

I think before switching from Docker to Podman you should first get proficient in Docker, because Podman is not for beginners (yet).

It’s FOSS.

Would have been my suggestion as well.

If it wasn’t written in bash… 😢

I would make Debian and Arch be deterministic like NixOS, but with a different language and less overhead. I really like the principle but the implementation is subpar.

Why not use fwupd?

Because they’re a Manjaro user and already lost.

Next time buy from vendors which support fwupd.

Which phone?

Just fork it and you can decide.

Actually, I use systemd because it just works for me and operating systems aren’t my hobby. Linux is my job, and things that work well cause less overtime for me.

I’m very excited for Debian 13 :)

Do you know what the word ‘example’ means? There are people who aren’t as superbly knowledgeable as you are.
