Nowadays busy with making my useflags compatible with bin-packages to reduce time to update.

I am curious, though how adoption of this new feature is.

Subjectively, I think, KDE/Plasma would make me unproductive compared to Gnome, maybe not as much as being on Win11 for sure. Both are cluttered and distracting from my point of view.

I am looking forward to niri, because I realized that GTK is the real king that makes Gnome so awesome to use. Niri would make window management even better. (:

A word on new Linux users: I have seen most prefering Gnome, older people tend to prefer the Gnome classic, because they are used to the idea to see which programs are currently running (taskbar). And this makes it easier for me to help them, because it still behaves like a modern desktop.

The KDE/Plasma/XFCE/Cinamon users around me are all long time Linux users. They made a dicision for themselves and know how to use it.

Clearly, Gnome is the most modern looking of the three.

Nothing is graceful about Windows. [=

Gentoo for my workstation because I need flexibility, security and stability there and Debian stable for my Raspberries running all the services I need 24/7 access to.

I don’t like all the spin-offs of the major distros. And no, Ubuntu is not a major distro it is based on Debian and they are known for some really bad decisions in past and present, eg: snap instead of flatpak.

this is fck’d

I just wait until my monitor goes into powersave mode [=

I even noticed that Win11 is slower on more modern hardware. <_<

Great design. Cute implementation.

This looks a bit like borgbackup. It is also versioned and stores everything deduplicated, supports encryption and can be mounted using fuse.

I have used xss-lock with i3lock in the past with success. It makes sure that systemd-logind notifies over dbus when entering hibernation so that xss-lock starts the configured lockscreen.

Before that I had a script which locks manually and then calls systemctl hibernate.

Currently I am on Gnome, but I want to transition back to a more minimalistic DE like niri. Then I have to look on the options again to reliably lock my screen.

At which level are you currently? I am level 2.

Since my question, Gentoo has changed in a favourable way. Guess what, I did not have the time to switch somewhere else. Enabling the binary repository for my existing Gentoo install was easy.

Once again I have zero complaints and I can stay on Gentoo. Updates don’t take ages anymore. (:

Canonical Landscape, RedHat Satellite, SUSE Manager and Foreman to name a few.

I think Foreman is the only one not tied to an Enterprise subscriptions and supporting more than one distro, but I could be wrong.

Have a look at niri, then. I still did not do the transition from Gnome, but niri looks very promising.

There is glsa-check for you.

I daily-drive Gentoo on my main rig. A binary-repository exists now. You can still decide where you want different use-flag settings and save a lot compile time.

Only for machines I don’t actively use (servers) or rarely use, I have Debian stable installed.

Seriously, I want that purple fur suit now. Where can I buy one?

This is the way.

I see, it’s tricky. I’ll have a look in to the Arch wiki, thx.

How do you achieve the deniable encryption on you Linux machine?
