Are you planning to compile the programs on the thin client? Although rust runs efficiently on a lot of hardware, compiling is gut-wrenching.
I have an rPi 1B running as a lightweight server and both rust and c++ applications take hours to compile (some of them take over a DAY). so, interpreted languages might be what you’re looking for. my favorite is python. most distros have a lot of native packages in their repos. albeit a little weird to work on, perl is great, too.
you can start out with wayfire, as it has basic a panel included.
i think gnome and kde both have graphical interfaces for this. i like doing config files.
she was just happy for me.
i’m not trying to convert her, it’s just that i’m comfortable in doing this, it feels natural to me.
because this video is a beginners guide and ventoy is irrelevant for that topic, yet here you are still talking about it.
wow, really wow.
i saw veronica talk about ventoy weirdos on mastodon, and here you are.
R. because it’s really easy to work on spreadsheets. i know there’s pandas for python but at that time RStudio made it look really attractive. i will do anything not to work on excel.
yes, thank you
lemmy client? it would be amazing just to have a tui.
i’m all for periodic contributions through channels like open collective but bounties rarely get to the point of being persuading.
for a couple of years now my favorite foss project has been blender bim addon and its community osarch.
it has a unique aspect. the software stack it’s trying to be an alternative of includes giants like autodesk, nemetchek etc. although it’s a gigantic shoe to fill, it has been really really successful at doing what it’s doing. i have been using it for a year now and cannot fathom to go back.
the community consists of experienced construction sector people and a decent amount of them are directly involved in the software development, be it coding, bug triage, educational content, technical support etc.
i guess the thing that makes a project tick is having a working state software, the degree to which is not important, and being community oriented.
how is that vi-inspired? shortcut for quitting is just q!!!
i’ve had a t420 for years and it’s still going strong
if you’re looking for an original distro, you should try void. it’s super lightweight. i used to keep away from gentoo because it was a source only distro, i would otherwise go fulltime on it, but now that it also has binary compatibility you should check that out, too.
as for wm, i love wayfire as a floating wm, and sway as a tiling wm.
which was made possible thanks to public funding.
zathura is amazingly lightweight and does the job right. i even use that on my phone (which is not that powerful).
i have an idol3 from 2016 and even that has all the phone capabilities (except the camera) and it’s not listed as a community grade. you would be surprised at how many phones are working fully. and with sxmo/swmo every phone ever has a chance to be a daily driver.
i remember a time when the thing blocking linux migration was audio calling on msn messenger. it got solved but nobody cared. these things take time to go over the tipping point. hardly anybody used android when it first came out, symbian was all the hype.
if you are willing and have a spare phone you should try postmarketos now.

tldr it’s a clickbait title.
I have a thick as a brick vinyl from 1972 and it’s still in a great condition :) i know it’s not suitable for 8-channel recordings or anything, but maybe we should’ve invested in that type of research.
