  • CachyOS based on Arch, with basically arch repos, so it have rolling release with frequent kernel updates. And yes, you need to reboot your system to apply kernel update, so CachyOS (cause it targets casual audience) explicitly prompts to user that reboot is needed, to avoid weird arch quirks like losing ability to connect new usb devices after kernel update (arch is quirky like that). Better safe than sorry.

    You can just, well, not update that frequent. My server also running arch, I update it like, each couple of months, updated packages will just pile up and go in one update, that the beauty of rolling release (the ugly side is that no one tests if big update like that will work or not, so you may end up with dead system or it just wont update for example, lmao).


  • I don’t know what comment section or post are talking about. Default timer for systemd on arch is 3 minutes (and I think it’s default for most distros). Whenever some service fails to quit on reboot, system will stuck for 3 minutes until systemd decide to kill it. I need to manually configure it lower to like, 10 seconds, cause there shit ton of services that always fails to quit.

    And not like I’m using old pentium - my system build on AM5 with amd 7700x, 128gb of 5600MT\s ram and 7900xtx, with kingston nvme pcie4 ssd’s on top of that. It’s literally “best case scenario”.




  • Especially having things fake-fullscreen while multitasking, jumping around between browser, Discord, etc

    I second this, Niri’s overview feature is insanely good for multitasking, switching between windows\workspaces is way easier this way. It’s like gnome’s overview, but better.

    Recently had to move back to hyprland due to bug with bit depth (after half a year, bug fix finally merged, will be in new release afaik) and I’m missing this feature so much. On top of that, most “extensions” that provide same functionality simply either dead or can’t compile due to recent changes. Also my old config refused to work, so I had to comment bunch of stuff. It’s just a mess.











  • You missing the point of my comment, not me.

    5 million a year would go a long way towards making their open source solutions meet their needs.

    Look, people in comments here think that it will be profitable. That it will save shit ton of money out of thin air. That what I call copium.

    I did not said “it’s bad” to adopt linux, quite the opposite. What I said is that commenters here operate on a fate, not on a logic and that surprises me.

    Upd. Like, you would expect from people on lemmy out of all places, especially in “technology” to be knowledgeable in terms of how IT and business works, but instead it’s like I reading comments of children’s.


  • Amount of copium is insane in comments. Like, people straight up using fate, like it’s a fockin religion, instead of using their head.

    Other countries also tried and failed. It’s never brings any profit, instead government usually end up losing shit ton of money. Reason is simple: adoption requires contribution. You need to hire new IT specialist, that knows linux and not windows. You need to do requalification of already existing specialist. You need to adapt software. You need to teach every single focking person how to work with new alternative software. And you need to suffer downtime, cause people still new to linux and it’s software.

    Adoption is very hard and those miserable savings on windows licensing is nothing compared to cost of migration. I’m not even saying “hypothetically”, here documented list.

    Blind coping will get you nowhere.


  • Yes, that exactly how I use cursor and local llms. There a ton of cases, where you need one time script to prepare data/sort thru data/fetch data via API, etc. Even something simple like adding role on discord channel (god save you, if your company uses that piece of crap for communication), that can be done with script too, especially if you need to add role to thousands of users, for example. Of course, it can be done properly by normal development cycle, but that expensive, while shitcoding thru cursor can be done by anyone.
