Which program is the one that surprised you most that it is available on Linux?

Bash.

I find that the least surprising, but ok...

Change up the line thickness, you're not drawing with a ballpoint. For example look at the left elbow: the light side, the dark side, and the crook definitely can't have the same outer line. It's got some differences, but the extreme shift in lighting should make it more obvious. You can even drop the outer line completely for that effect.

Check Klimt's sketches for inspiration. There's a lot of subtlety in there. For example check the second drawing here https://artsandculture.google.com/story/XQXhqy-HRypmLQ . The photo/scan is kind of bad, but you should get the idea.

like why does every font, except ubuntu, have these ugly af corners?

Not a font guy, but isn't it just mimicking how humans use strokes to write?

It looks nicer, and it's easier to read for me tbh.

You miss the moopsy? Moopsy suck your bones!

My dude, there's a moopsy in a meme about bones. Someone's not surviving this mission...

It's a paid product, but for personal use you're only paying for the support or for the number of licenses. The most corporate of all distros offers full functionality for free unlike what op is asking for.

They're also far more enjoyable for walking.

Strolling down grid roads with gigantic buildings feels like you're getting nowhere. Absolutely mind numbing.

I think you know its not just a matter of "clicking a setting in a gui once"

I know it is that simple because I've done it while running MX on my devices... You can even switch between the two at boot freely.

Why would you choose a non systemd based distro only to just switch it over to systemd? Why over complicate thinga for a new user who is clearly just starting out? Just use normal debian!

It comes with tools that make system management a lot easier for beginners. I think that's more than a fair trade for having to click a single setting in a gui.

You obviously haven't used MX, and I have no clue where you're pulling your opinions out of from. Give it a try instead of continuing to spew nonsense.

So, clicking a setting in a gui once is such a big deal that MX is a bad choice? Next level...

[–] Shareni 0 points 3 weeks ago (5 children)

because its going to differ from most other debian distros

How? It's just Debian with extra tools and sysvinit besides systemd.

then firgure out the differences between sysvinit and systemd

Or just set systemd as a default

Next level overthinking...

Go buy a couple of good LED lightbulbs, 4000k is a good balance, and hook them up however you like.

MX Linux, Xfce 4.18

Closing the laptop lid suspends the system, opening it resumes it, but the screen is black. I'm guessing it's related to powerup because suspending through the logout menu and systemctl suspend both work as expected. When it's black, switching to a different tty works, as well as C-M-Backspace to logout.

Same results with both lightdm and sddm, when replacing suspend with hibernate, and I've tried a few solutions like disabling lock on sleep.

Seems like this issue has been around for years, but had a whole bunch of different causes since every other thread has a different solution.

XFSETTINGSD_DEBUG=1 xfsettingsd --replace --no-daemon > /tmp/xf.log 2>&1

ps -ef | grep -E 'screen|lock'

xfconf-query -c xfce4-power-manager -lv

dmesg, cleared it before trying to suspend

updates:

I'm not seeing a black screen, instead it turns on the display and then turns it off.

Additionally, I tried closing and opening the lid a few times, and it woke up correctly.

I tried it in i3wm with the xfce power manager to suspend after closing the lid. It woke up correctly 10 times in a row.

Solution: start an xrandr config and the monitor turns back on.

Non-general purpose posts (self.programming)

This community is:

A general purpose programming community for English speakers

Language specific posts like:

and ide specific posts like:

are not general purpose. Posts like that ruined /r/programming for me, and this community seems to be going down the same road. I'm here to read about programming concepts that can be applied to any/most languages, not patch notes for 10 different Js frameworks posted by karma farming bots. If I wanted to read posts like that, I'd have subbed to /c/javascript...

Do you agree with me that they should be removed from /c/programming, and limited only to their respective communities? Or have I missed the point of this community?
