There are plenty of queer 17-year olds like me here, too!

UCAS is the organisation that deals with applications to higher education (e.g. university) in the United Kingdom.

EPQ stands for "Extended Project Qualification", and is an A-Level enhancement subject. In this subject, you pick a topic in September and spend the next few months writing an essay on it.

Well, there are two main methods of package management in FreeBSD, which (according to people who seem to know their stuff) should not be mixed.

Packages are pre-compiled binaries, which are installed with either:

• # pkg install <package>or
• $ doas pkg install <package>

and can be found at FreshPorts.

Then there are ports. You have to enable this during installation. Essentially, it gives you a directory containing all of the available sources, known as the ports tree. You cd in and run the command, and it pulls in the code, compiles it, and installs. However, due to my ancient processor, I do not use ports and so have no idea what commands to actually run or even where to find the ports tree in the first place.

Remember to check the documentation!

That be a Conky. I'll give you a copy of my config in a bit, if you like.

EDIT: Here it is: mocha.conf. If you don't have the font, JetBrains Mono, installed, you will need to edit the file to reflect this.

I have multiple devices, but I just use my trusty KNOPPIX LiveCD to unlock the disk and move everything onto an external hard drive before either troubleshooting via chroot or just doing a clean install.

Thanks!

I'll give it a go!

I prefer X11, and Hyprland doesn't have a great community (apparently). However, I was hoping more that Lemmy would just comment their favourite light WMs to make it easier for me to choose.

The Musl issues were a while ago. The other issues were experienced on the glibc version.

Void is a distribution I keep trying, but I believe I'll be either sticking with the Arch family or switching to Gentoo, openSUSE, or NixOS.

If you're after an online dictionary, I personally like Wiktionary.

Just the little things, really. App compatibility, xbps not having too many packages, issues with Musl, GRUB not loading on the LiveUSB, desktop/WM selection, and also I don't like the way Runit works. I could make it work if I needed to, but overall it just seems like too much effort.

Especially since WD-40 changed its recipe.

What themes/configs are you using?

Honestly, I like Breeze. I just change the colour and it works.

I am also quite a fan of Oxygen and Mint-X; but they look out-of-place on my newer systems, and my older systems have trouble running Plasma.

Despite its popularity, I've never had much luck with Void. However, I could try it again. 17th time's the charm!

Yeah, either openSUSE or Gentoo will probably fix my issues good and proper.

ONLYOFFICE is quite good, although it prefers DOCX.

That's what I actually say. "Just use Linux" works better for the meme.

What?

I added it retrospectively. For some reason, my phone decided to save it as a HEIC, so I had a lot of trouble uploading it.
