Username checks out 🤷.

It all falls under the SCSI protocol now, they get separated at low level by another driver.

That USED to be true. Now every block device is sdx... except to nvme.

Actually, what you're referring to as...

Aaw, fuck it, I'm not that kind of a guy 🤷 😁.

Dude, chill, it's a meme... sheesh.

Read on the Mint forums a thread a while back, like from 2012 I think... someone had the same scanner as me and wrote to Hamrick about it, see if it's supported. Unfortunatelly, no, it's not... though this was a while back and maybe it's supported now, who knows, will have to try I guess to know for sure.

In any case, VueScan has some generic drivers in it, but it's far from that it supports every device out there. In general, it needs drivers for it to work, no different than any other scanning application.

Dude, chill, it's a funny take on naming conventions.

Yep, that will make it quite large...

Yeah, completely normal for Qt... well, if you bundle everything that is. If it depends on shared libraries, should't be larger than 10MB or so.

Yeah, you get the best Linux info when reading meme comments 😁.

Makes sense, I mean... they're all essentialy long term memory storage devices.

Yeah, they used to be, but they switched a few years back to consistently call all block devices sdx.

Yeah, that's what I think as well...

Got a few old rigs with IDE drives in them running Void x86, the drives in /dev are named sdx.

Yeah, but I think they switched to also use sdx for IDE devices as well.

Dude, seriously, your post crashed Jerboa 🤣.

Oh, packman, I misread pacman 😁.

WTF!? Didn't know you could post dissertations here!

Yeah, but you have to dedup manually.

Conpression is nice though, zstd at 10 is perfect.

I usually repack in cases like this (not in repos). It's fairly easy in Arch and Void (haven't tried Portage in Gentoo yet).

Yeah, that is true as well. I meant Debian/Ubuntu because it has the most 3rd party repos available. But yes, if you have more than one package manager, then things will most likely go south after a while as well.
