Half of the linux ecosystem is personal projects.
Linux itself started as
just a hobby, won’t be big and professional like gnu
It’s not useless as you can learn from it.
Almost. It doesn’t try to solve all the problems, though. I’d say it’s a passion project like Haiku and TempleOS.
From interview: it started as a research project. The author wanted a distribution that uses the least system resources with maximum performance.
He started with archlinux, moved on to gentoo and to go even deeper - found the infamous “linux from scratch” and started to shape his own distro.
Ok, because of this post - I decided to bite the bullet and try wayland again. And it was much better experience this time:
I’ve installed sway “pattern” on OpenSuse-Tumbleweed and:
waybar absolutely supports clicking tray icons.
I confused it with swaybar, that’s installed with sway by default and should be an i3bar-compatible. Waybar doesn’t seem to support i3bar protocol, but anyway, after I configured it - it’s like 95% there from what I want.
I could switch tomorrow if I could do my current setup:
Last time I tried Wayland in December, I had issues with waybar not supporting clicking tray applet icons. Also I’ve ported my dropdown terminals script to support sway - and it worked half the time, like, literally every second key press was ignored.
On one hand I have X session that currently has no downsides for me, on other - wayland that has no upsides. Tell me, why would I switch?
That’s why mods exist. And some games have a setting to hide helmets.

Reminder that paying money is morally wrong and should be avoided when possible. Steal the consoles and pirate if you have to play the games.
it’s a marketing stunt not a logic-related problem
He might do like 2-5 deliveries per trip if they align.
it seems to be a variation of “cargospace” meme.
It’s also a good filter for useful videos vs ‘content’.
Well, then you have to find another name for that kind of software and define it that way. I certainly would support such an effort, i.e. to make software available to everyone at no cost.
There’s no need to come up with new terms or change the existing ones. Free software is inherently free in price. And you can’t enforce paying for software without the restrictions put in place (e.g. drm). Here’s a quote from https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/selling.en.html :
With free software, users don’t have to pay the distribution fee in order to use the software. They can copy the program from a friend who has a copy, or with the help of a friend who has network access. Or several users can join together, split the price of one CD-ROM, then each in turn can install the software. A high CD-ROM price is not a major obstacle when the software is free.
Free software can have a price, but paying it is optional.
I meant that free software is inherently can’t have a price. Even if you provide source code only to your users, they are free to share that source code for free.
Thus there can’t be piracy because piracy of free software is inherently allowed.
And if you try to prevent your users from sharing the source either legally or with drm - you add restrictions to software, making it less free for your users.
The recent situation with RedHat provides good demonstration and example of this.
It’s free as in freedom, not as in free beer.
But you can’t have one without the other. Putting a cost on software is adding a restriction, thus making it less free (as in freedom).
Free software should be available to everyone, even to people who don’t have money to pay for it (poor third world countries, students, kids).
I personally believe, that you should pay for software that helps you earn money. For everything else - it’s everyone’s own decision to donate or not, based on a financial situation, beliefs, political position and what not.
Yes.
Yes. It’s also a Rube Goldberg machine, where photons travel millions of kilometers from sun to bump into some electrons, electrons then bump into some metal and fast metal pushes air in your room to make it move a little bit faster.
Zip is fine (I prefer 7z), until you want to preserve attributes like ownership and read/write/execute rights.
Some zip programs support saving unix attributes, other - do not. So when you download a zip file from the internet - it’s always a gamble.
Tar + gzip/bz2/xz is more Linux-friendly in that regard.
Also, zip compresses each file separately and then collects all of them in one archive.
Tar collects all the files first, then you compress the tarball into an archive, which is more efficient and produces smaller size.
