The announcement resolves one of my last fears for Aux: development on Nix itself. It is no secret that the number of people knowledgeable about the project and are willing to work on this CPP codebase is small. You have probably seen me mention multiple times by now that @sig_cli needs all of the help that we can get. Lix resolves this entirely with a trusted team of experts. This means that Aux is now able to remove Nix development from our priorities and can instead collaborate with Lix moving forward.

Thank you ! :)

haha, yes, indeed.

I like Flatpak, especially now that it has upstream providing packages. It does not have auto updates yet as far as I know. Not a big deal, if there are important security updates in the news, it is time to check for updates.

You could configure sudo without password only for the wg-quick command. Not a beautiful solution and also not super easy to configure with sudo but it’s an option. Much easier solution is to install doas or opendoas and leave sudo as it is. Let’s assume your desktop user is named variants and in group variants, then putting the following in /etc/doas.conf is expected to work :

permit nopass :variants cmd wg-quick

If your user is not yet in a group, and you add a new group, remember that making such a change usually requires logging out and logging in again because the group changes become visible. Then test with doas wg-quick up wg0

Thanks for mentioning the Steinberger guitars. I knew they exist but forgot the name https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steinberger

Neat.

And the fonts in terminal and music player look similar ? What font is it ?

Saw those spam postings. From three different Mastodon servers, one instance was pretty small. Glad to hear active measures have been taken though I hope it was not simply blocking instances.

Question : Is spam reporting on Lemmy actually best or is it better to report directly on those Mastodon instances ?

Fediverse spammer copy & paste runtime error ?

These days installing Linux and upgrading it is easier than it was years ago. Installing Linux can be a good deed indeed :)

• You want your project to become popular, get stars and discussions ? : Github

• You want control for your small hobby project ? : Self host Gitea or Forgejo

• You don’t mind paying and supporting an open source developer ? : Sourcehut

Don‘t get me wrong, I‘m not complaining at all, in contrary, I am enormous grateful for any help I get. I posted alread in reddit as well - subreddits r/Nobara, r/linux4noobs and r/linuxquestions Asus-Linux has a thready-like area in their discord „general-issues“, where I made the thread…

Cool. 👍

At first it is to learn how everything behaves, test my use-cases to see, if linux could become an all-dayer for me - that would be the main goal - until then the dual-boot to have a fallback option.

In that case, VirtualBox and other emulators could be useful to look into. And WSL may be limited (I’ve read) but also useful. Never tried WSL but a friend of mine is happy with it.

😀

Lots of people to the time to reply here and at kbin.

It probably will not hurt to also ask on https://superuser.com/ https://stackexchange.com/ and Reddit linuxquestions or another appropriate subreddit. To me it seems like Discord is similar like IRC : questions will get snowed under after others write newer things and your reading audience is likely decreasing.

And a question : What are your plans with Linux on your desktop ?

• Gaming ?
• Coding ?
• Reading books and watching videos ?
• Web surfing ?
• Social media ?

If you are interested in learning more Linux then a refurbished laptop is a good start to run Linux natively without a dual boot.

+1 Happy usb tethering user here. 👍

You could try this The OP installed the drivers from an older iso and then upgraded. Manjaro Linux is not very much liked by many but you could give it a try. If it works you can go for plain Arch or EndeavourOS. From what I found the closed source Nvidia driver exist since 2022 so don’t use an iso that is too old :-)
