Other inits cut out udev and logind and run away giggling into the sunset, obviously
Just shove wondows in a VM or something
You’re probably looking for these 2
I suspect those may depend on choosing a particular response to some of the previous questions
CPUs are also somewhat choked. I had to use throttled to make mine run above 2.4 GHz under load. (You need HWP_MODE and possibly Disable_BDPROCHOT, if anyone’s interested).
But other than that, waaaay better compared to …70 laptops, and some models seem to beat maxed out t440p-s. Also quicksync massively speeds up video decoding/encoding, so I’m overall happy with mine so far.
Although, it’s possible to bloat it unknowingly: networkmanager, for example, depends on a few VPNs noone would ever need, and one of them depends on webkitgtk, so you actually have to mkForce modules to include only the necessary stuff. Not like that’s a huge issue, but I wasn’t amused when I saw “building webkitgtk” while cross-compiling 😆
Hmm, seems like it’d be interesting to automate :D
Idk how this thingy on the screenshot works 🤷
Bastards. You should create an issue or something
Same. Have 32 just in case I need a windows VM or something.
I run applications, and it still rarely exceeds 6 gigs. Damn, my ram is mostly disk cache at this point
I mean, they said they don’t like flatpak explicitly, and appimage is kinda the same thing but bulkier, standalone nix is similar as well except the lack of sandboxing stuff, and spinning another distro in a container seems overkill-ish. Idk, honestly, mb they prefer the windows way of downloading random installers from the web or that clusterslackery of placing stuff in /opt by hand
If you’re on arch/nixos, that’s fine since stuff you may need is most likely in the repos already. If you’re on Debian/Ubuntu derivatives, good luck with 100500 ppa-s
Bypassing parental control is a great learning opportunity, tho :D
Kinda follows from the description on their website:
You should use KDE neon if you are an adventurous KDE enthusiast who wants the latest and greatest from the KDE community as soon as it’s available, with no delays, opinionated patches, or UX changes.
Although, yap, I may’ve put it a bit too harshly, and the same may be applicable to using KDE on many rolling release distros.
To be fair, the only problem I had while using it (except for the usual need to add a ppa to install literally anything) was exactly the same I encountered on arch: sddm just died after some updates and refused to start. What made it worse, however, was that they decided it was a great idea to configure the same keyboard layouts both for the graphical session and tty, so I couldn’tc even login to fix it :/
Well, you might’ve entered the password incorrectly a few times, and then faiilock faillocked the account. Can be fixed by going to another tty (e.g. Ctrl+alt+f3), logging in as root and faillock --reset --user your_username_here
. If that doesn’t help, that’s probably neon’s issue (mb they messed up pam stuff or something).
On a side note, KDE neon is not exactly stable for daily driving, I’d suggest switching to another distro that’s not meant for testing recent KDE stuff
