i think yhere is a void usrr repository thjng aroind somewhere, but also maintaining a distros package repository is not something u simply onboard more people, there has to be trust and accountability to make sure malware isnt being packagesd to users meow

also the aur is run under archs infrastructure so there is a little bit of single point meows

bomk >w<

its like a four person team or somethinh meow, stuff like this just happens on smaller independent distros (plus if u want u can copy the pkg definition an build it urselfs)

meow? void linux is rolling release so news is slower, like arch is meows

package relaeses are in a different place meow

i dids thisss wedge between wall an bed so am squishh

meowtosis :3

Do i need to live another life to make linux work?

No, but do bear in mind that switching to Linux will have a learning curve, and it sounds a bit like you’re expecting to be able to do everything you did on windows on linux without having to change your behaviour.

My advice is to start off with all the defaults of whatever distro you are using, and only installing packaged software for it, and just getting to a point where it is comfortable.

Most problems on linux (that I’ve found) either come from hardware being faulty ir unsupported, or that the user doesn’t understand how it works, but is trying to force it to work how they want it to. Both can be fixed with becoming more familiar with how Linux works.

This would also help you to understand why there are so many different distros (I do recommend distrowatch.com to quickly look up details about distros), as most differ in ways that require a bit of Linux knowledge to understand.

so tldr just stick with it and try and learn how it works meow :3

i would like opensourceing meows, also like " heil Hitler" isnt antiisreal, is antisemitic meows. i dont like isreal but i dont like nazis either

immediate antisemitism and nazi stuff :/

u just need kde, as hitting ‘get new widgets’ in da widgets sidebar uses the same backend, meow

so u just need to search for catwalk in there :3

the gentoo wiki is also a great resource !!

wayland seems to be the way desktop linux is going, personally i like it and am migrating over w plasma 6, but ymmv mrowz

for global search i would recommend rofi-wayland !

overall, my best advice is to steal, mix n match others configs (make sure to keep track and source them tho !) and find what u like best, if ur only starting dont try and do everything from scratch !!

if u want a notification system, i use dunst :3

meow id love to see activities turn into whats described at the end of the blogpost atm is a bit half finished feature ime

if youre opening ur laptop from suspend or hibernate id look there first, i dont think itd be a nix specific issue, though there may be an option in kde to pause media when thd lock screen is visible idk >w<

you could also check if ur webbrowser has an option like that too (if ur on jellyfin via a browser)

yay a flower :3

is why the mostly trust :3 as always run code at ur own risk

and the utility programs thatr part of thhe dependencies r often there so its easier for devs to use depenancies, so they do sorta gotta be there !

ye but at least on linux the _dependencies arent bundled with useless applications that u dont want, and u can mostly trust em cuz open source X3

ive heard reallygood things about hyperland + its docs !

personally, i use qtile cuz its config is in python with p managable docs, and it comes with its own barebones bar + launcher!

although on my main i do have plasma n bismuth, but thats not for serious twm stuff dp ymmv there

owo

i dont think op is looking to mirror archive.org, my take was that they wanted someyhing like archive.org but selfhosted and for personal / small-scale use

afaik, archive.org isnt open source. id recommend something like archivebox.io
