@spongebob I don't know why but I forgot to say this, you are such a square

@EDX-0 Well I don't know much about autotools, but if you say cmake and autotools are both bloated, I can buy that thought process. Linux land is going towards bloat... so yeah

#153 Re: Off-topic » Opinions about keypassXC » 2025-09-16 02:06:06

@EDX-0

and cmake isn't bloated as hell?

Idk... man.

#154 Re: Freedom Hacks » Debian not providing new 686 kernels in Trixie » 2025-09-16 02:00:22

I am very glad that my oldest computer in my possession is 64 bit...

This being said, Debian devs really didn't need to change the framework so much that they needed to ditch 32 bit. What they should have done is stop bloating their system with redhat bloat  and similar instead.

#155 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] devuan (fresh install) noticeably slow compared to debian » 2025-09-15 01:01:40

@rolfie it still is a 13th gen processor. I bet it is faster than some medium grade gen 10 processors and definitely most older stuff.

@rwall that sounds peculiar, but I am glad you found out the answer you needed

#158 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] OpenRC Woes » 2025-09-08 04:37:44

@rwall stable or testing?

And if unstable, that's why its happening. Its meant for developers lol.

#160 Re: Off-topic » Opinions about keypassXC » 2025-09-06 18:39:51

@kapqa nitrokey is the best at the moment. completely open development. Not proprietary at all.

#161 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] OpenRC Woes » 2025-09-06 18:38:02

I recommend you avoid using ceres/sid.

If you use testing, openrc would probably work for that too, but devuan unstable is just a good way to get a broken system.

If you don't know how to fix the problems that come with unstable, use testing or stable. I cannot recommend this enough.

#162 Re: Off-topic » Opinions about keypassXC » 2025-09-05 03:49:32

@kappa nitrokey is better  then yubikey according to what I have heard.  Its completely open source or if you prefer libre.

#163 Re: Off-topic » For those who like open bioses, » 2025-09-03 19:25:05

T480 is a definite improvement over T430 and X230 too. It uses very little electricity from what i see. And at 5.0 load it barely feels hot on my chest.

#164 Re: Documentation » HOW TO: Install XLibre on Devuan » 2025-09-03 19:19:32

I think I might actually consider supporting this project. I still prefer Xenocara as an idea, but whatever.

My disdain for wayland is growing...

synaptic doesn't work in devuan/gnuinos. wink

#165 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Disabling firefox auto=update » 2025-09-02 10:23:33

Librewolf better,. firefox has all sorts of crap enabled by default including pocket.

#166 Re: DIY » A Survey of User-made Content » 2025-09-02 10:22:20

@EDX-0 Is there a way to make it so that I only need to press up and down to scroll? Without shift I mean. for xterm

#167 Re: Off-topic » For those who like open bioses, » 2025-09-02 10:20:57

@SteveM not at all, but I am curious what hardware you have.

#168 Re: Devuan Derivatives » GNUinOS - Libre » 2025-09-02 01:47:42

@aitor actually, what are your plans for gnuinos?

Do you plan to remove dbus, avahi, networkmanager,  pulseaudio, pipewire , polkit and wayland dependencies from as much stuff as possible? I assume this is just a bold  thought on my part, but I was curious on what your goals are besides the libre aspect,

I currently though have gnuinos on one of my SSDs though

#169 Re: DIY » A Survey of User-made Content » 2025-09-02 01:42:37

@fanderal huh didnt know that about xterm

#170 Re: Off-topic » The Crappiness of Modern Laptops » 2025-09-02 01:39:44

NovaCustom and system76 or Nitrokey are good ones if you desire new hardware. Otherwise I would pick a librebootable t480/t480s or similar

#171 Re: Installation » How to Install XLibre on Devuan Daedalus (MATE)? » 2025-09-02 01:37:24

If its a choice between xlibre and wayland, I would choose xlibre probably.

Wayland is a mess and I have a feeling it has some secret problems that redhat hasn't mentioned deliberately

#172 Re: Off-topic » For those who like open bioses, » 2025-09-02 01:31:34

@stargate-sg1-cheyenne-mtn Yes, but its still far better than the stock bios with intel me rammed completely open.

wink

#174 Re: Off-topic » Happy Labor Day friends! » 2025-08-31 01:47:03

Devuan may not do as much as I would suggest to getting rid of bloat, but even getting rid of systemd is a good start anyhow.

As for what I would remove as dependencies from packages that don't need it? Well I could say, but its off topic for now. poetterware/redhatware/freedesktop.orgware is all I will say.

Anywho glad devuan exists anyhow. big_smile

I think its common news probably now, but I will say it anyways,

T480/T480s are now supported by libreboot.

Those are 8th gen intel laptops. And if you use me clean on it in combination, which libreboot dev Leah has as a default when its flashed correctly.

Then its a VERY fast libreboot laptop.

The fastest I know of anyhow that isn't a chromebook and maybe in general. smile

If anyone loves such tech, I recommend you to buy one.   I pondered such an idea recently.
