Unless I’m reading this incorrectly, this seems far more invasive than the California law.

“coffee, black”

“Apologies, all our coffee come with creamer loaded with corn syrup. We’ve got matcha though! Also with corn syrup.”

That sense of superiority for using Linux? The ‘btw’ those arch folks use?

I don’t know the answer, but for troubleshooting, perhaps try to start a window manager / desktop environment without a display manager.

Additionally, a simple window manager like sway perhaps.

This will likely not pass, as, at least, it’s against the first amendment.

LFS is a classroom. The point is to learn.

For getting work done, use a distro that meets your needs, and has a community you respond to.

Gentoo is great if you’re constantly on the outskirts of the garden.

Yocto / Bitbake were inspired by Gentoo’s portage.

I used them when playing with zaurii (Zaurus PDA) and openmoko.

No logs?

Daughter calls herself dyke (“I’m a dyke on a bike!”).

Congrats! I did the same.

You know all those conveniences that Google gives us for “free” that we all of a sudden can’t seem to live without? Microsoft does that for “enterprise level” companies.

Manny machines are not using EFI, or access is locked.

I self host wallabag for this. Unfortunately, I don’t use it that much. I end up with a bunch of tabs.

I have heard that systemd is “heavier” than alternatives. I haven’t experienced that. I don’t think gaming is impacted at all.

I use openrc on Gentoo for desktop. It requires some script hooks for things that expect systemd, but works quite well. I don’t pay attention to it much, unless I’m writing an init script.

Bootloaders are locked. Think of the bios on a PC.

I just followed the handbook honestly. There’s one for ARM devices, but it’s not really necessary.

It took a LONG time to compile everything, so I don’t recommend it to those wanting a simple solution.

As for gaming? Who knows. We use the device for quick looking up of info, recipes (it stays in the kitchen), email, maybe a document or two.

Not sure how much power the Mali GPU has.

Yes, the source code gets compiled directly on the machine (or indirectly FOR the machine).

This, of course, assumes one can actually boot a kernel not developed specifically for the machine.

Some modern boot loaders / managers are locked (Asus does this a lot), so you’re stuck with whatever they put on the machine.

Gentoo supports ARM quite well (obviously), but I’m not sure what new hardware is out there that has an open enough firmware (or that can be flashed with coreboot) that will allow a Linux install.

Unfortunately all the carriers here (California - at least) have shut down their 3G networks.

I believe ubports are the only ones who have volte working besides jolla.

Are you getting volte on that? I have a 6t I’d love to try, but only if I can make phone calls.
