Off Topic Chit Chat - (Silliness factor 5)

Mate, nuce simple DE, I love it had 3 menu buttonf (Applications, Place & System( & the theme manger was better IMO The control center wa lacking, but that was not a big deal. I have no idea why Gnome changed everything. Mate QT would be really hard right? Wow, I am serious, maybe off topic, but not silly.

Why did the Americans not want to learn the Matrix sys? They didn’t want to get defeeted.

Did you end up getting it installed?

Sounds like Garuda should rent ad space on one of those Good Year blimps, that will get the ball rolling

The right people will find this distro without having to draw attention :wink:

I considered taking out an ad on Distrowatch to coincide with the Win 10 demise. However, dealing with another inundation of clueless Windows users is rather hard on the nerves. :wink:

There has been and continues to be incredible hype surrounding CachyOS in online gaming magazines.

Within a very short time, it has doubled the number of forum users.

Honestly, I would suspend the Calamares installation for a year and instead recommend the CLI installation.

And most user would want to permanently disappear you.

Yes, probably.

LOL this reads like a 2 sentence horror story… Can you imagine all the folks new to linux, and then take on Arch as their first distro, coming to the forums? I mean, it’s good, don’t get me wrong, but I’m not sure our group of enthusiasts is ready for that level of unofficial support and moderation…

I like the options in GUMP to change the look of a image, it is much better than Nvidia X server settings. Use in Manjaro, no X in Garudo, anyway that would be great. Man Nvidia bring out the settings app for wayland already, sorry for the little rant.

Greetings all!

I hope I didn’t miss it, above and im wasting someone’s time. but…

for the … set filetype
or any set someparam [TAB]
where the [tab] key will activate autocompletion.
but this not working for me where i have a BIND DNS file. not sure what to call that type. i dunno. prob some random glitch i’m experiencing, but… noticed ā€œGaruda Forumā€ in the top 3 or so hits on DuckDuckGo i suppose it was. nice!

someone above mentioned the set colorscheme
the tab key works there too of course, in case you didnt know.

thank you!

btw. no worrries if… maybe there were just no file types… i dunno. i tired set filetype p[tab] thinking it would complete to php, or py or whatever, but no.
hmm. oh, this isn’t garuda btw. it’s OpenSUSE. like i said, saw the good folks at Garuda (which is still my fave, but i’ve been having … issues. you’ve heard me complain about my options w/ the not smart HDTV, etc…)

Wow, I haven’t been on the forum since June or July somewhere.

But I’m back.

If they do they’d probably be like ā€œopen-sourceā€ Android with proprietary Google Services bolted on to fully access the device as intended. They already started doing it by requiring a Microsoft account to be signed-in during setup.

Very likely, but that also means that once it’s open source, alternative Windows-based OSs can be spun up by some enterprising good samaritan to keep those executables still functional on systems that will no longer be receiving security support from M$

I mean, I use clamav… Any particular reason not to use an AV on Linux? Especially in light of the more recent exploits in AUR and NPM?

My understanding for many years is that clamav scanned almost exclusively for Windows viruses, and is used on file and mail servers.

I don’t use NPM, but can you point to where it is set out how recent AUR exploits such as the Chaos RAT insertions were detected by clamav?
