  • BRB, got a dotfile to edit real quick

  • That's how I was on Slackware at the time. Reputable, functional, stable - and totally tailorable to your exact needs.

    Everybody talks about Arch as a "pedagogic" distro, but you'll learn a lot working with Slackware. I wonder if Lilo is still around.

  • You're not wrong. That's why I kept a small macos partition to do the hard crunch when needed, like rendering in kdenlive. Everything else I can just do on Asahi, including Ardour multitrack exports.

  • Asahi supports M1 and M2 chips because that's what they own.

    M3, (and then M4) isn't there because the cheapest hardware, the Mini, doesn't exist with them... And also because work isn't finished on M1/M2.

    The way apple sees its computer customer base now as they see their iPhone base (Must Own Latest Must Buy Shiniest), I do hope for the Asahi Linux project they don't keep on iterating endlessly with new hardware twice a year.

  • You guys know that there's an actual rtfm app that condenses the output of man to human-readable stuff right? Right??

  • Not going to push Ardour if your brains are wired for Live, but have you tried Bitwig?

    (Tho Ardour has Clip Launchers now, wink wink)

  • Ah again. One more moving target to chase for the nice AsahiLinux project.

  • I just finished the full soundtrack of a theatre play using AsahiLinux on my M2pro mbp. I resorted to macos only to render some heavy video tracks.

  • In CMY (printing) you get black by adding them all. In RGB (lighting) you get white

  • What impressed me at the time was that it worked ; you'd pull huge amount of stuff and then waited in front of a real-life Reversed Matrix full of mysterious hieroglyphs. But Slackware would compile Ardour, Jack, Jamin and whatever else. Yeah it took a while to fetch all the libraries, but then it just did it.

    Last week localsend wouldn't compile on Arch, and took hours to fail it.

  • Works on mine

    Édit: (10)... Ah, I see the point, indeed.

  • Commodore 64, with the tape reader, hooked to a black&white CRT

    Seems I'm the eldest one here for now

  • What you are losing is what you are gaining ; I for one embrace the minimalism of Gnome (even macos feels, looks bloated next to Gnome). There's only 2 extensions that I add, and they are the vainest ones: the Spinning Cube and the Wobbly Windows.

    No, there's one more: the gnome implementation of kdeconnect, so useful to link your phone to your PC.

    Of course KDE has great, great software out there, you shouldn't be loosing anything by switching, so that's where I use flatpaks, to not have to pull all of KDE libs on my system over the gtk ones: kdenlive comes to mind.

    Embrace the zen. Drop the very idea of spending a week to fine-tune your Desktop to your liking - a gnome install is finished in about 5 minutes, including setting up the best wallpaper ever, the competition-winning KDE 6 Peaceful Tree default background.

    Or just install the Fedora KDE spin, really.

  • Thank you for taking your time about this. I will make sure to give Startide a go, since as I said, I like the themes but couldn't go through Sundiver actually.
