The Gimp Tool Kit !

Does any distro read through 100% of the source-code of a package before adding it to its repo? by Drito in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[-] Drito@sh.itjust.works 17 points 6 months ago

This is unrealistic. Read everything represents too much work.

Partitioning Your Linux Drives: Does It Provide Any Benefits? by Drito in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[-] Drito@sh.itjust.works 17 points 8 months ago

I installed Arch on a disk without erasing the /home partition that cames from a previous distro. It saves me some config work, and a bit of disk life expectancy I guess.

KDE Goes and Does It (Double-Click By Default, That Is) - OMG! Linux by Drito in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[-] Drito@sh.itjust.works 17 points 9 months ago

I don't use KDE but I suppose the click is detected on button release, not during the press. It should adress all these questions.

Amazon Building its Own Linux-Based OS to Replace Android by Drito in c/linux@lemmy.ml

These tentacular megacorporations are a problem. Amazon is OK as a merchant, MS as an OS developer, Google as a search engine... If they do vertical integration the market is corrupted.

If only more Linux programs followed sandboxing best practices... by Drito in c/linux@lemmy.ml

This is useful for proprietary software.

What's the difference between package manager and why are there so many? by Drito in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[-] Drito@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Some differences can be explained. Pacman was created after the Debian package manager (I guess that because Debian is older than Arch) . It is justified because Pacman is faster than Apt. But its too much work to replace Apt by Pacman comparing to the benefits.

But in some cases I don't know why. As instance I wonder why a distro, such as Void, created its own package manager instead of using the Alpine one. If Alpine is younger than Void, invert the sentence of course.

Craziest/most "exotic" devices able to run Linux? by Drito in c/linux@lemmy.ml

The PS3 is not crazy, but has an exotic hardware that optionnally runs Linux.

Why do people still recommend Thinkpads for Linux when there are Linux-oriented manufacturers now? by Drito in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[-] Drito@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year ago

15 years ago I would have been surprised to hear that Thinkpads are cheap laptops !

The Linux Foundation has become a patent troll by Drito in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[-] Drito@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago

"Linux" is owned by Linus Torvalds. Can he ask this foundation to change its name ?

Hello, Archlabs is gone . I use this distro so I wonder If I can still update it safely ?

My /etc/pacman.conf

If it is unsafe how I can turn this into a normal arch ?

I switched from Nixos to void Linux. Here's my experience so far. by Drito in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[-] Drito@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 year ago

How the hell many people installs Void without problems. I tried two times and I always had wierds behaviours that makes me going back to arch.
