NixOS. I’m going to migrate to NixOS by then.

https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/issues/3968 - this to monitor and poke, there are also a link for a sample wrapper that might or night not help you.
You need this https://github.com/guibou/nixGL
Don’t use it - vote with your feet :)
urxvt
. It works good enough and doesn’t use much memory.
You can find answer to most of the questions in google. And there are always people who are willing to help in the internets.
Kind of like flatpacks but it’s done with symlinks and fancy changes to the build systems. I think it fits better for the developer environment.
Biggest package repository, a very strange package manager that lets you reproduce exact environment for any package. But also takes a bunch of time to understand and you basically have to learn a whole new programming language to use it if you don’t want to copy-paste examples.
What PPA was it? I’m using this one and it seems to be still native. http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/ubuntuzilla/mozilla/apt
That said - I’m experimenting with NixOS to move to.
systemd
had problems when it was first introduced, but it works much better now and it’s not going away. I would suggest to revisit it again.
I’m using tiling WM mostly to have shortcuts and more controls about window switching but I rarely have multiple windows visible at once, but when I do - tiling is more convenient. When it doesn’t - you can always make that particular window floating.
There’s a few suggestions about debugging it in Fedora, you should be able to replicate most of them. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_debug_Firefox_problems
Ubuntu ships Firefox as a snap now so you have to get it from outside of the repo if you want it to be normal.
xmonad
- tiling wm because I’m too lazy to place windows by handsfirefox
- since a lot of things I’m working with is web based and I like my adblock and don’t want google spying on meurxvt
- a terminal that is fast enough for most applications yet doesn’t use as much memory as fancier onestmux
- a terminal multiplexer - terminal tabs are not as nice plus lets you leave stuff running remotelyneovim
- I need a text editor and it works great for that purposes covering all my needsWith Ubuntu Core, the kernel is installed as a snap rather than being built into the base system.
snaps might be a bright future, but I imagine it’s going to be a rocky transition. I’ll wait it out on some other distribution…
Moving to a different distro :) Experimenting with nixos right now, already got native Firefox working :)
It’s strange that they suggest Ubuntu rather than https://uwuntuos.site/
Too many ads and bad UX? Right. This article is a great example for both: https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@aras/110846684099110476
Yea, something like that. Using it on my laptop already.
configuration.nix
for system plus home-manager for user stuff. Will move the desktop soon-ish.
