I can’t give too much specifics due to IP and company infosec but was having issues with network drives

I’m required to use CentOS for work and it would be an understatement to say how frustrating it is to use for me. So many packages are missing / old, and some packages just break. There have also been wild bugs which just kernel panic the whole OS. I’d steer clear.

If you’re on Kinoite, can’t you just enable Plasma 6 if you really need it?

Is syncthing falling out of favor these days?

GPL is the only good license out there. MIT just leaves too many opportunities for abuse because corporations won’t ever do what is in the best interest of humanity.

I guess I’d try what I posted above, but also, I’d verify if lsusb is showing the devices at all. If not, then maybe there’s a way to trigger a rescan by the USB controllers on reboot

Is this is Linux machine? And is it waking the machine from sleep or booting that you notice the issue?

I was just looking at this, to pair with a custom keyboard and run in portrait mode for editing software. Have any shipped yet? All the YouTube videos I’ve seen are just people talking about screenshots

There are many other considerations besides startup speed, no? Filesystem reliability is a big one, and all the scrubbing and defragging features of btrfs are pretty neat

All of ZSA’s stuff is QMK-compatible. Just load up a QMK config.

As an aside, would recommend looking into Miryoku, it’s designed specifically for this layout and may make your life a bit easier in configuration space

I love my Piantor. I don’t use the extra pinky column, and have Miryoku loaded on it. I exclusively write software all day, with a few emails and long Sphinx docs thrown in there from time to time.

That’s quite a statement, are you sure about that? The Graphene team has done a considerable amount of work sandboxing the environment of Google Play, both in memory, permission structure, and IO access that MicroG completely blows past. Given how the Graphene sandboxing works, I actually can’t think of a scenario where the statement that MicroG is more private than Graphene sandboxed Google Play. In either scenario you don’t have to log in, so I’d much rather have an environment that has been isolated than tooling that still has tendrils reaching into the main OS itself (MicroG).

Signal is not designed for anonymous communication. This is fine. Some of us like having a messaging platform that is E2EE because we don’t have to trust the midpoints. I get to chat with my family in a convenient manner while not worrying about the telecom company doing things like logging SMS contents. Different tools for different jobs.

This is what I ended up opting for and it works very well

IMO Graphene is the only true option in this list, with Copperhead being aggressively sus given the history
