The problem is that the all those apps installed as dependencies will get marked as unused and removed with the next --autoremove (which you should probably do regularly to clean up old kernels.
The real fix would be to mark all those apps as explicitly installed, but I don’t use apt-based distros regularly so idk how.
Distrobox would like a word, or so I’ve heard. Haven’t had to use it yet, as the AUR has pretty much everything.
“just” setting that up takes much longer than installing a small app to do it.
Or gnome disks, which also adds an “open with ‘write to drive’” option to isos and images
dd status=progress can also tell you how far along the operation is.
That’s definitely not true, Raspberry Pi OS works and acts like a normal Debian installation per default - with root mounted rw and all.
Other than that, there isn’t much “treating like an HDD/SSD” going on, it just writes to flash when an application requests it does. If the underlying storage is an eeprom, an sdcard nvme storage doesn’t really change anything here.
Most SD cards aren’t really suitable for the kind of workload an operating system generates (that being mostly random i/o). Make sure to get a reputable A2 (application class 2) rated card, they aren’t that expensive but perform way better.
Raspberry Pi themselves launched a card recently, I haven’t tried that one but it’s probably a good choice too.
I don’t understand. If you’re overwhelmed by settings just don’t open them? You don’t “need” them, like ever.
You can do the same on Plasma. Switch by three-finger-swipe
Half of these don’t even handle logging
I see, you haven’t been to the phoronix forum in a while. Enjoy. Comments: systemd Saw A Record Number Of Commits In 2024
2024 was a great start with the release of Plasma 6, and the Pros of Wayland now generally outweighing the Cons.
More than 50% of Windows users have trouble entering my front door during a state I call unlocked. Unfortunately that isn’t a joke, but there are extenuating circumstances.
It doesn’t even have Ethernet, how could it have poe? Also poe is just stupidly expensive for what it is.
European retailers seem to be better stocked
I mean when I can take an Arch Linux installation that I forgot about on my server and is now 8 years out of date and simply manually update the key ring and then be up to date
That won’t work, old pacman versions can’t deal with the fact that packages are now zstandard compressed. In fact, the window were you could successful do the update without a whole bunch of additional work was something like a couple of months. Certainly a whole lot less than a year.
I suppose they don’t use their superlatives quite that inflationarily.
Yeah but you’d need to do it for *everything* that’s affected, which is a lot.
