Appreciation post for Plasma 6 - My current experience with the Fedora 40 beta
  • I moved away from plasma a few years back. I can't remember the reason(s) why. I think it was I just wanted to use a tiling wm. Either way, I decided to pop on the unstable NixOS channel and give plasma6 a go. I ain't going back to no damn tiling shenanigans.

    What the plasma team did here is what, I think, a lot of people have been waiting for. It feels very polished and refreshed. I'm so damn impressed by it.

    Either way, I agree:

    Developers: You did something amazing here.

  • what are some advanced linux distros that don't have me compiling everything?
  • You don't really compile anything during or after install with arch linux unless you find something on the AUR that needs to compile? If so, just look for .

    Otherwise, a really nice system is NixOS.

    Another is GNU Guix.

  • Jump from Arch to NixOS?
  • I think you might like to try it. Maybe to get a taste for it try the nix package manager first. Right now I'm kind of struggling on whether or not NixOS is the one for me or Gnu Guix. Both are pretty awesome.

  • New to linux... I have no idea how to fix this error...
  • Okay, so I haven't installed Debian in quite some time, but I think I know what's happening here.

    It's looking for the CD / DVD "repos" because it may be enabled in your apt sources. You just have to comment out the lines involved with CD and DVD in your /etc/apt/sources.list file I think.

    Uh, yeah. Cheers

  • Is this a btrfs issue?
  • I am not entirely sure why I thought it was something to do with the filesystem. It's just weird.

    I found that if I put, say, a text file in Documents then log out and back in, those symlinks show up.

    Ah well. so long as nothing breaks, it's not that bad.

  • Is this a btrfs issue?

    So, I have been testing out a few distro's lately after deciding to move away from arch. I have noticed, though, that every time I install a new system (latest one being NixOS) with btrfs, I get symlinks of my home folder in my Documents folder.

    It's really kind of odd. I haven't tried with ext4, yet. Is this a known issue?
