is omarchy a new distro or new window manager?

I stopped distro hop a while ago, and fixing tiling configs is not worth it anymore for me.

“xchat” sounds like one of those porn chat rooms

usually people out it in bashrc and have it autorun

neofetch is pretty but it is slower than the alternatives: pfetch, fastfetch…etc. I either use those 2 or no fetch whatsoever: I want my terminal pops up and is ready to type.

we need all repos to be stored offline, and documentations to troubleshoot.

the 1st i have no idea how much space we will need. Most linux packages are prerry light, no? But there is A LOT of them…

the 2nd is easy. Heard someone say the entire of wikipedia is 200GB, should be doable. Dont forget the technical wikis too: Debian, Gentoo, Arch.

wonder what eventually makes everyone ragequit on the ricing part lol

for me? it was the battery management and suspend/hibernate stuff. You need to do a lot of weird file configs to get them working.

I riced i3wm, dwm and even exwm and suspend/hibernate problem would pop up now and then.

On a full DE? Shit just works.

I do miss ricing though. Especially window managers, I can just git clone my dotfiles and have everything setup in seconds.

Keepass. I need to figure out a way to securely sync between Android <-> PC.

GNUpass should be very secure too but I need a way to view it on Android.

arch linux was what forced me to use LUKS on all of my installs regardless of distros, btw.

i used the standard layout:/boot, /, /home, swap. So when the installs break, the best way to fix is to use the archiso and remount and re arch-chroot.

Well… i found out that without LUKS, anybody can use any distros live cd and mount my stuff.

At first, I used LUKs only on the main partitions: so / and /home, or just / if no separate /home. Swap remains unencrypted. Boot is also unencrypted.

You could encrypt those too but need more work and hackery stuff:

• encrypted boot: can be slow if you boot the compututer from cold. There’s also this thing where you need to enter the password twice => think Fedora has an article to get around this. Iirc, it involves storing the boot’s encrypted password as a key deep within the root directory.

• encrypted swap: the tricky thing is to use this with hibernation. I managed to get it to work once but with Zram stuff, I dont use hibernation anymore. It involved writing the correct arguments in the /boot/grub/grub.cfg. Basically tells the bootloader to hibernate and resume from hibernation with the correct UUID.

any over heating issues? What about fingerprint? I saw videos comparing the Pro’s ultra sonic vs the one on 9a. It showed the ultra sonic works all the time but the 9a’s can be cumbersome.

damn thanks, i didnt research the fact that GOS team is still trying to release for Pixel 10.

not sure about price and speed, but their subscription model is designed such that you may not need to give away your info. E.g. pay with crypto and even cash in mail.

I had the original Pixel (codename Sailfish) and eventhough it was 1st gen, it was one of the best if not the best experience I had: clean software, camera is great. Google did some wizardry with their camera via software at the time. The downside: absolutely terrible battery life.

been living in Samsung’s garden for many many years lol. I hate the bloatwares that came with the phone, yes you can use adb to delete some apps but some still stay (core Samsung apps). The one feature that really gets me into GOS is separare user profiles. So I can compartmentalize my stuff + a dummy profile.

definitely inside job. The dude who failed to shoot Trump was around 160 yards away. Whoever shot Kirk was around 150 - 200 yards away and he only needed 1 shot. Definitely pro stuff, maybe a hit order from within the gov.

OP, I am in the same boat. The features shown in GrapheneOS are very nice and I want to buy Pixel just to put it on. Is there a reason you go for the 9, beside price? I’m really keen on the 9a due to its flat camera and low price. I dont like phones with bumped camera. However, recent JerryRig video shows that the 9a is very very difficult to replace the battery, so not sure if it is good in the long run lol.

i like that plane analogy lol

Started at low for 6 months , then I travelled to the valley of despair.

I lost my mind and stayed there for a long time. 1 year? 3 years? who are you? who am i? (send help plz)

A traveller names Fedora rescued me. Now I am further down on that curve: Fedora silverblue.

Its been a while since I used LineageOS on my OG Pixel (sailfish). I remember you have to install the custom bootloader like TWRP to flash the ROM and there was this thing with A and B partitions. Not sure if things change…

With an unlocked bootloader, whoever gets your phone can do the weird Vol Up + Power button combos to flash enter the TWRP bootloader. I couldnt recall correctly, but it is possible they can view / delete your data right within the TWRP screen. Not sure about transferring them off of your device.

OTOH, a locked bootloader wouldnt allow you to do this. There is no way to enter a flash a different ROM.

The thing with unlocked bootloader like LineageOS, especially in my case an OG Pixel, is that you can still flash the official Pixel OS in case Lineage starts to mess things up. LineageOS leaves the bootloader unlocked, so you can still flash.

I’m talking about the case where your phone is completely bricked, i.e. cannot open phone. So you can just use platform-tools to reflash. With Graphene, i guess it is more difficult in this case?
