You can try dualbooting a linux distro with an android. I expect it works, but you cannot be sure with phones.

I’m running Arch for a very long time. I agree this is not a distro for general audience. I disagree, however, that it is not stable. When I’m doing work I don’t update my system. I enjoy my stable configuration and when I have time, I do update, I curiously watch which amazing foss software had an update. And I try them. I check my new firefox. I check gimp’s new features. etc… or if I have to do something I easily fix it, like in no time because I know my OS. Then I enjoy my stable system again.
Do you want to know what’s unstable? When I had my new AMD GPU that I built my own kernel for, because the driver wasn’t in mainline. And it randomly crashed the system. That’s unstable.
Or when I installed my 3rd DE in ubuntu and apt couldn’t deal with it, it somehow removed X.org. And I couldn’t fix it. That’s also something I don’t want. Arch updates are much better than this.
They will probably get to there. It’s just not that important for the developers rn. They are working on a pacman rust rewrite and hopefully we can see more contributions to the project. I already considered contributing but C deterred me.
You can see the milestones here: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/alpm/alpm/-/milestones
Was it even a thing? I remember I had to choose MBR for legacy BOOT, GPT for UEFI.
Buy good hardware next time

Linux@lemmy.ml•Progress towards universal Copy/Paste shortcuts on Linux
1·6 months agoI use Ctrl, Alt for applications, Super for the os/windowing. I hated MacOS which mixed these things. Luckily X.org let’s you do whatever you like, sometimes it’s just harder to configure. But I like it as it is.

4·8 months agoI’ve never understood putting arbitrary limits on a company laptop. I had always been seeking for ways to hijack them. Once I ended up using a VM, without limit…
do they interfere?
Read thoroughly. Can’t agree more.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Ghostty 1.0 Released, A New GPU-Accelerated Terminal Emulator
81·11 months agoI’m not against it, but another factor that we should check in a terminal emulator (as a tool where you run everything from) is the system requirements.
I’m using urxvt and that’s so easy on the system, it starts instantly. I can open multiple instances without worrying about the system resources.
I believe it uses X.org’s text rendering. X.org uses OpenGL under the hood. It’s not CPU rendered.
Alacrity felt bulkier when I tried. I will try this too though.
From the list, openscad requires the least tutorial. Solvespace is really easy also, but you need to watch some exciting modelling videos before you get the idea around it. Blender is hard.
OpenScad also gives you a different modelling experience that lets you write reusable models, e.g. if you are a carpenter, 90% of your modelling is sizing and positioning fiberboards to shape a box. You can “automate” such tasks, easily. I wrote a script for myself that does that, and I’m now super fast at modelling furnitures. After some modelling you will be also capable of making such lib. (As a developer, I might be biased)
If you are interested in this library: https://github.com/fxdave/woodworkers-lib
Try solvespace or openscad or blender depending on your use-case.
