@notTheCat @linux I haven’t tried this but I think a shared boot partition and one installation of grub (I suppose the version you like the most, if you have a preference). You might even want to install grub from neither and do it by hand, just to make sure they won’t mess it up. About shared home: not sure. It will work - I just don’t know how many little oddities there will be.

EFI partition can be deleted and re-created.

@zaknenou @privacy it usually uses Diffie-Hellman key exchange which generates a shared key without revealing it to anyone. There are other ways to do it too.

@sab @prowess2956 @harsh3466 now you have two problems, but you don’t know it yet

@JoMiran @linux Bitwig Studio is also a non-open-source DAW which works on Linux.

@weketi6945 “Many of the features which were removed from GNOME like desktop icons and system tray was because their code was complicated so they just removed them.”

holy hell, they removed DESKTOP ICONS? Gnome is a joke.

@weketi6945 So CSD is the only thing that universally works. If you do not implement your own close buttons in your app, GNOME users won’t be able to close your app. Of course the GNOME ToolKit has built-in close buttons. This is stupid because you shouldn’t have to use the GNOME ToolKit.

One way this could resolve is that half the apps won’t draw CSD, and won’t be closeable on GNOME, and enough people will complain to GNOME that they add SSDs, or they will stop using GNOME.

Another way it could resolve is that Wayland doesn’t catch on because “close buttons are broken.”

@theshatterstone54 @linux Client-side decorations are such a ridiculously stupid design decision they make the whole Wayland design suspect.

@Sage_the_Lawyer @linux I don’t think selling is how it works. You have to be frustrated enough to seek out alternatives to the mainstream, then you find Linux and try it for yourself and it works okay.

Things made by billion dollar companies with a profit motive are almost always going to be better than things made by random people in their spare time - except in areas like privacy.

You’re allowed to try it out before committing to it though.

@fafok20662 @linux Not as long as it’s constrained by an open source license, but it’s likely going to follow the sqlite model where you take it or leave it, with no feedback. Except it won’t be as high quality and alternative-less as sqlite.

@winterayars then why the fuck is systemd involved?

@winterayars systems targets were formerly known as runlevels, and this particular one probably could also work with init= because what else could you possibly run at the same time?

@TCB13 services aren’t systemd-related just because they are launched by systemd.

@TCB13 @linux Everything is systemd in the future. This has nothing to do with systemd. It could as well have been called targetdiskd.

@Chozo @Kalcifer @clmbmb In capitalism, investors and owners are one and the same. Investors are owners. Owners are investors.

@hiddengoat @original_reader @walden “I’m too fucking lazy to spend less time making something that also takes less time for my consumers to consume and uses less bandwidth and is more accessible to deaf and blind people”

@ReverseModule @linux the main feature of Bandcamp is that you can sell music. Selling anything from your own website requires a lot of red tape. That’s why these websites exist to get economies of scale on the red tape.

@lord-adendaloth @vikinghoarder @PersephoneDives 99% of websites don’t work, and this gets another 9 every 5 years. If you use Noscript, you can selectively disable scripts.

@mfat @linux “We” means Ubuntu. I can still do this.

@clif @linux I think your plan is way too technical if your goal is to teach non-technical people to use Linux. For grandma it’s pretty much the same as Windows - click on “Internet” to open the googles. What is your target audience and what are they trying to get from the course?

@CorrodedCranium Do you have any idea how many crypto scams have been declaring their annual allocation of funds for years?
