I like how a system instead of specs is described with marketing terminology, "light, simplicity in mind" and this with ubuntu and systemd under the hood.

Alpine is light with simplicity in mind, anything that contains -buntu in its description is like a 1960s bus

You mean tearing?
As in video screen tearing?

There is also tar which is a very common archiving system, so tarring=archiving

Stay away from debian/ubuntu if you really want to learn linux. They dictate how you do things so much you will never learn how to do it.

tiny core is for small embeded systems, like car ignitions, modems, little robotics modules/arduinos etc.

They were always IBM's front for open/free code and the undermine of linux. Grew economically more than any Op.Fr. project because of IBM's consulting and training subcontracts passed under the table. Eventually they were absorbed by their mothership.

worker sucks less

@QuazarOmega @BlanK0

You or off a thread guys, which distro are you talking about?

@NoisyFlake @peoplearecute

grep sda /etc/mtab 2&1 tee /tmp/tab.txt | yad --title="output" --width=154 --text="$(cat /tmp/tab.txt)"

@linuxPIPEpower

Did I miss what you are asking or is this it?

cat /etc/mtab 2&1 | tee /tmp/tab.txt | yad --title="output" --width=154
-text="$(cat /tmp/tab.txt)

@linuxPIPEpower

If you have used openbox before just do a diff merge of differences between your openbox and labwx/rc.xml

so you get the same setup. They are very compatible. waybox is crap, it is just a base wm for kde-plasma/gnome ..etc.

@BlanK0

root must always be mounted if you have a system, either by booting or chroot. If you mount just efi from another system .
On my setup /efi/EFI/grub only has the grub efi binary no config, /boot and therefore /boot/grub is on /root partition

Now if you have the entire /boot in the /efi partition then it would be /efi/boot/grub/grub.cfg?

@Hiro8811

The theme itself is defined in grub.cfg, but it may be the case that it is stored in your root partition not in efi, so during bootloading the drive can't be read from.
So if you manually change the location of the theme directory and copy it inside efi it may work, and change the position of in grub.cfg

@Hiro8811

To turn os-prober on see /etc/default/grub - false and install os-prober, then run grub-mkconfig -o ..

@Hiro8811

When I had an /efi mount just as arch said on wiki I didn't have problems. /boot stayed with root system, so it can be booted with efi or mbr.

If you have 2+ disks and one has mbr the other is gpt you can boot from either bootloader.

You should also try limine, less headaches than grub.

@Hiro8811

1 are you using systemd-boot?

2 is your efi mounted as efi or boot?

3 depending on 2, manually unmount efi and see what you have on boot, maybe you have grub.cfg in 2 places.

@Hiro8811 @maynya

labwc is the best wl wm I've tried

@BlanK0 @GravitySpoiled

If you could tell the difference between hate and criticism you wouldn't wonder.

A fan? I wasn't a fan of debian 7, I just thought 8 was garbage and left when 7 could no longer upgrade.

@hauilemmy

More mythology, ubuntu is just a layer of fluff over debian. Ubuntu wouldn't exist if it wasn't for debian. Just check your repositories. It is a fake distribution without character, mixing Free and non-free software from anywhere they can find them and promotes installing "foreign" pkgs to the system just to show they provide a wider variety.

@hauilemmy @AnneBonny

You are reproducing a myth started from Arch to keep newbs and those with learning disabilities out of the way. The 2nd largest distribution after debian didn't survive this long if this myth had any truth to it.

@hauilemmy @BaalInvoker

Many of my graphic applications spit out warnings on terminal about dbus not responding, because it never runs, neither do logind, but everything works for me. I don't pay attention!

@hauilemmy @sabreW4K3

labwc is amazing too, try it.
The only thing I haven't figured out is how to run a graphic application as one user from another.
In X you simply do

sudo -u user2 firefox
as user1, in wayland you can't, even if a seatd is running for that other user as well.
