this post implies that you download debs from the internet instead of using your distro’s package manager

also last I checked apt hasn’t stopped being a cli over the years

I think that’s entirely a Hyprland problem. Iirc there’s some option in the misc config group in the config to help mitigate that.

E: I meant specifically opengl:nvidia_anti_flicker

Debian users try not to tell everyone at every opportunity to use Debian challenge (impossible)

FDO is FreeDesktop dot Org, the XDG people

Vaxry is an asshole (the Hyprland maintainer)

1. I’d say go for a rolling, maybe do updates on weekends
2. The students will very likely appreciate the customizability of Plasma or Cinnamon; if you want them to focus on work, GNOME (probably with some extensions) would be better. Tilers are a bad idea, because they take some getting used to
3. Doesn’t really matter, company distros might be paid tho, and that can obviously get expensive
4. Wayland if your DE has good support (i.e. is GNOME or Plasma), otherwise X
5. Btrfs’ snapshotting capabilities might be useful to rollback the system to something working if the students fuck something up
6. Immutable without sudo access should be the safest to hand over to people that you don’t want to ruin anything
7. I don’t know enough about specific purpose distros

If you already know Nix, NIxOS would be a good choice

don’t need an extra guy

I’m so glad you can automate QA jobs

A concerning amount of Windows users say they’re PC users.

Yuri though, so good post

I think something like

%wheel ALL= NOPASSWD: /bin/apt

should be the right way of disabling the password for apt.

They do! /bin has the executables, and /usr/share has everything else.

I don’t think there really is an easy way to do this. For sure not as easy as reinstalling.

obviously a weather app couldn’t possibly use your location for anything, must be spyware

Thanks, I switched from unconfigured (but working because magic) networkmanager to pure wpa_supplicant on my NixOS system yesterday and I definitely noticed frequent reconnecting.

I have one with 2, but I rarely need to close them at the same time, and when I do, I just hit Meta+Q twice.

That already closes tabs tho

Why would you have more than one window per workspace?

it’s all in .mozilla.

You clearly don’t have a software hoarding problem
