I hate the Wayland logo; it’s trash.

unfortunately I cannot find alternatives to the gore subreddits :(

  • How does pacman work compared to apt-get ? and how to find in which package an command lies. I struggled a bit to get lsinput (to configure a rudder pedal for flight sim)

    Manjaro has Pamac installed out of the box. Its commands are much more readable:

    Install: pamac install {software} Remove: pamac remove {software} Update: pamac update. You can just run man pamac and read that, it’s concise and self explanatory.

    You can also use Pamac-gtk (the GUI app-store). I recommend the GTK4 version. Just run sudo pamac install pamac-gtk it will prompt you to replace pamac-gtk3.

    You can enable the AUR by opening the GUI store (it will be called “add/remove software” in the app menu) > three dot menu > preferences (will prompt for password) > third party > Enable AUR support.

    Only use the AUR as a last resort; check if the app is on flathub first, then the official repos, and finally check the AUR. You can add flatpak support by installing the flatpak package and the libpamac-flatpak-plugin optional dependency.

    If you want updates to be as fast as they’d be on Arch you can switch to the unstable branch, and now you can’t blame Manjaro for your AUR problems.

    and how to find in which package an command lies.

    I am not sure what this means, but if you meant how to check what commands a package provides, then you can search for the package in the app-store and scroll down to “provides” everything under that section is commands the package provides.

    I am struggling a bit with Zsh, like I ended up starting bash to configure an environment variable, any ressources on-it. Or shall I simply change my setting (and how) to use bash that I know a bit.

    You can edit the ~/.zshrc file to add your aliases and permanent environment variables.

    On Arch based distros you can also add environment variables in the /lib/environment.d file as KEY=value, for setting firefox to use Wayland for example.

    If you want to switch from ZSH to BASH here’s how.


  • Well, that strip of of land is not occupied since 2005

    The UN and EU considered it to still be occupied for a reason: “it [Israel] controls Gaza’s air and maritime space, as well as six of Gaza’s seven land crossings. It reserves the right to enter Gaza at will with its military and maintains a no-go buffer zone within the Gaza territory. Gaza is dependent on Israel for water, electricity, telecommunications, and other utilities. The extensive Israeli buffer zone within the Strip renders much land off-limits to Gaza’s inhabitants. The system of control imposed by Israel was described in the fall 2012 edition of International Security as an “indirect occupation”. The European Union (EU) considers Gaza to be occupied.”

    which hasn’t prevented Hamas and the “innocent people of Gaza” from throwing more than 8,000 rockets into civilian towns

    Hamas shouldn’t have governed Gaza, but the other option had to be Fatah and “Israel” had to be a blood thirsty nation for all of it’s existence. Hamas was acting as a charity; making the situation better for Gazans by building hospitals, schools, and mosques. While Fatah was showing off its corruption, and Hamas didn’t even win by that much: Hamas: 44.45% | Fatah: 41.43 %

    You’re delusional, ill-informed or you just want Israel gone, in which case you call for a actual genocide.

    First of all: ‘Hamas and the “innocent people of Gaza”’ -you. Second: “Israel” shouldn’t have existed, and should cease to exist.

    Oh, btw, did you know Gaza also borders with Egypt? Ever asked yourself why the Egyptians never opened their borders to their fellow Muslim brothers even though a large percentage of the Gaza population descended from Egyption migrants to the region?

    “Estimates of the size of the Palestinian population in Egypt range from 50,245 to 110,000”, but Egypt would not want an influx of migrants into it’s land, of course. They also would rather Palestine not vanish, and Egypt had it’s problems with the Muslim brotherhood, so they’re a bit cynical.

    Also, why wasn’t there any calls for a Palestinian state between 1948-1967?

    All-Palestine. Looks like a call to me.









  • Flatpaks have the concept of runtimes; instead of downloading the entire qt tooling for a qt app the app could just use the KDE runtime same goes for GTK with the Gnome runtime. Flatpaks also have dependencies which can be shared between multiple apps even when they are not part of their runtimes, they are called “baseapps”. Flatpak apps still use double the space my normal apps take on a fresh install, so I assume using appimages to replace them will leave no space on my SSD.

    Before deciding to settle on using Flatpak I tried to search for appimage permissions and how to set them, but it seems there is no such thing? If that’s true then there’s another advantage for Flatpaks and Snaps.

    Also with all due respect: Flatpak and Snap tooling are not maintained by Probonodb.
