Sorry I derailed from the topic, but afaik, you can use either generators like rivertiler (herbsluft-inspired) or rivercarro (default generator) for riverwm. In fact, rivertiler also provides you with the necessary libraries to create your own layout generator. Maybe you’re looking for riverwm-spiral-extended?

There’s newm, which looks really cool, but unfortunately, it is not being maintained any more - I think future version of GNOME will be going in that direction soon, if you’re interested in that style of hybrid single workspace, scrollable window/desktop management. Then there’s also labwc, herbsluftwm, qtile, etc. If you don’t mind X11, you’ll have lots of options to choose from. Personally, I’ve moved to XFCE4 because it is very light-weight, and I’m waiting for version 4.20, which will move to Wayland completely, and make use of wlroots.

You can use any modular tiling manager for this. Only the tiling layout generator (this one is for river) matters here.

That monitor on the left will have a bad fall.

Oh yes, I did. Since I reconfigure the Guix configuration, I also follow up with a reboot.

They were asking about client app. Like Geary, KMail, Emacs, etc.

Also add sixel support. It is unbelievable that only a few terminals do this really well. Terminal UI libraries also suck and look so damn ugly, with the exception of whatever btop is using - it sucks that the UI library is tightly integrated into the app.

Tilix is the true goat of all - the only issue is that without the login shell, it can’t remember the previous directory, because of some issue with vte.sh.

I am on Guix. Here’s the expression for xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin.

Plugin in my panel seems to be /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xfce4/panel/plugins/libpulseaudio-plugin.so

Another name for this is the xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin, so that is right, actually - it is the same plugin I’ve mentioned. It prompts the option to use pavucontrol as the mixer.

If you check the General Tab in Properties, you can see the first option in Behaviour - “Enable keyboard shortcuts for volume control”. This isn’t working for me.

I wanted to log XFCE plugins, but I’m not really sure on how it should be done.

Btw, does media button, like pause-play, previous and next work with this plugin?

the worst issue using a VM is with programs that need the GPU

Only for a type-2 (hosted) hypervisor. This isn’t a issue in type-1 (bare-metal) hypervisor.

No. It goes through Global South countries and gets converted to “freedom” gas. Like say, Turkey, Azerbaijan, India, China, even Belarus and Hungary, I think.

This image is misinformation. That’s not a filesystem, that’s a layout standard called the FHS. Filesystems are FAT32, BTRFS, EXT4, etc.

This is the FHS layout, which is one of the common layout style for Unix-like OSes, and it has nothing to do with Linux or filesystems in general. Misleading information. GoboLinux has what they call the GoboLinux hierarchy layout, that adheres to NeXTSTEP or BeOS. Nix and Guix has the Store hierarchy layout, wherein, everything is contained inside a store directory. Filesystems include FAT16, FAT32, exFAT, BTRFS, Bcachefs or EXT1/2/3/4, just to mention a few examples.

Apologies for being defensive, I accept that I am in the wrong here - I had to assume the worst owning to the silent-toxicity through down-votes, because they’ve assumed internally that I’ve called their favorite distro just the “same” as the distro that they probably hate.

A “traditional” Linux follows a FHS build, comes with a general package manager that is usually centralized, and can have one version of a program. You can only have one version of a particular program for the given OS version, and may have to use tools like venv or asdf to use older versions. Examples include Debian and Fedora, as well as it’s derivatives. These traditional distros come with profiles, or flavours, like KDE, GNOME, or some other desktop environment.

GoboLinux is the original Linux OS that deviated from the FHS layout. With this, now you could have multiple versions of the same applications alongside, without having conflicts. ClearLinux (from Intel) and CachyOS (independent) are distros that build optimized binaries. I’ve not delved much into either of them, but I would like to think that having a tuned distro is quite nice.

Henceforth here, most of the distros can be called as meta-distibutions. These are distros that are a little “flexible” when it comes to installing. There’s no pre-defined profiles and flavours, but this also means that you have control over what you can choose to install. Examples include Arch, Void, Gentoo and their derivatives.

Of these, Gentoo (back then - this does not hold true today) and Void are special in the sense that they came with the most barebone stuff, and you had to use their tooling to build Linux, as well as the entire desktop and application from scratch. I am not sure who the target audience might be, but I’m assuming that most probably this includes people who don’t trust repositories or substitute servers.

NixOS and Guix are functional, transactional and declarative distros that provides you with isolation via ephemeral shells - which can be either pure or impure, store-based file layout (hash, followed by package name and version) and the option to host containers and virtual machines within the OS as a neat in-built feature. Each time you “build”, you create your own distro generation, based on your own config, with the option to switch between them, without having to reboot. The store-based file layout was probably an inspiration from GoboLinux.

SerpentOS is a new experimental OS in development - from what I know, these folks have embraced memory-safe languages for their tools. Another cool features is that the packaging it is quite nice and uses the well-known YAML format, as an alternative to Arch’s PKGBUILD or Fedora’s spec. There’s a lot of experimental stuff that I am not following, but it also shares some features with immutable distros. T2 SDE (not T2Linux, my bad) is another such meta-distro that I am aware of, but I haven’t delved into it. It is being developed by Rene Rebe. There’s also other cool distros, like for example Bedrock Linux, or Slackware, but I don’t follow them a lot, so I can’t speak for them.

Not falling for the debatebro bait. I’ve placed quotation marks around “special” for the same reason, stop putting your words in my mouth.

If you want a “special” distro, use something like GoboLinux, NixOS, Guix, ClearLinux, SerpentOS, CachyOS or T2Linux. The rest of them are almost the same.

I keep falling for this every fucking time.

There’s nothing of much importance in the post, like for example, the current distro you’re using. Judging by your old post, I am assuming that you’re on Fedora 40, and most probably the RPM Fusions Nonfree drivers (which, I highly doubt, as 3060 supports the open-source drivers) are delayed to support older kernels. What you could do is for the time being, use an older version, when you come across GRUB/systemd-boot, or perhaps, try re-installing those drivers again.

Hasina is a disgusting nepo-spawn, and she acts just like the rest of the political dynast families. But credit to be given where it is due, unlike the spineless neo-lib INC who unbanned the RSS, she did not let the Jamaat-e-Islami exist as a legal political entity, and stood strongly on the ban.
