Well, finally, Hirsute Hippo got the 5.10 kernel!

Looks like Wizard fixed it.....
The displaying images on TPU....

InhaleOblivion · Mar 13, 2021

Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS w Numix icons.

johnspack · Mar 21, 2021

Newest Ubuntu with kernel 5.11.. Hirute Hippo! 21.04, still in beta:

Worthy to note the memory usage. Less than half a gig to run.

Finally, beta week for 21.04... so I was able to upgrade a raw install this time. Both screens, nice pic!

johnspack · Apr 12, 2021

Oh nice, 21.04 Dolphin now has drive space indicators. Check under Devices. Edit: I'm surprised at how much improved Ubuntu is with this version, wine also works better!

Here's something you don't see too often... a BSD distro with a KDE desktop! Absolute pain to install and configure. Still can't get virtualbox additions to work
even though I know how to install them....

Default on PC-BSD I think... oh wait I just googled that and aparently it died in 2020 after a rebrand. Sadness.

biffzinker · May 13, 2021

GhostBSD? I was messing around with it in a VirtualBox VM recently.

johnspack · May 13, 2021

Yes, GhostBSD has the xcfe desktop... but I hate mac clones. If you want KDE on BSD, you have to install it. Once you figure it out... only took me 3 years of using linux so I can understand
all the commands and script configs, and still took me 2 days to get it done... it's easy! I can reproduce an install in a fraction of the time now. I'll never use it, I just wanted to prove to myself I
could get the dam thing running!

johnspack · May 19, 2021

Took me awhile... here's the still alpha Impish Indri, or 21.10, will be final oct 14. Not sure what kernel or desktop it will end up with yet... and it shows the new dual pane start menu

Now that's interesting! Now I have to play with Arch..... did not know it could do that.

what do you mean it could do that?

Anyway, my desktop with wayland. Tend to align same customization on my both computers. in that way, it is easier for me to find things when I switch between my laptop and desktop. Plus easier to maintain. Didnt dare running wayland on my laptop since what I have read was wayland and nvidia does not come along well (yet i hope)

johnspack · May 31, 2021

I mean I didn't know you could build it like that! Thankyou night.fox for showing me this! This was the most difficult and interesting linux install ever for me.
It's touted as the linux you build. And you do, from scratch. Think Freebsd, and then break it down even more. I learned more about linux in the last 4 days
than the last 3 years. You have to build, install, and configure every part of it. Even virtualbox additions require manual intervention, creating scripts ect.
I almost wanted to hate it, but in the end it's a gas to build, you learn a lot, and when you have a fully functional desktop running, it's very rewarding.
Mines not as pretty as yours, but I like it just as much!

If you want to hate yourself try and build gentoo.

So many screenshots here are featuring SVGA3D which means you guys are running Linux in a VM. What's the point of it?

You'd be surprised. I have to build VMs all the time for linux servers and desktops to build scripts and tools before deploying to production.

Still have scars from that in 2004.

Yup, that about sums it up.

johnspack · May 31, 2021

Have to try it first in a vm before I try a raw install. And this is one of those I think I will try a raw install. Once you understand how to install every
single section, configure and enable it.... anything is possible. You have to test first before diving in.....
Also birdie... it's just as difficult to install in a vm. In fact vm additions, which you need for video and audio drivers are a bitch.... everything else is the same.

I mean, I have. What about it? Sounds about the same. No source based distro holds your hand.

johnspack · May 31, 2021

birdie, been running linux for years now... dont want hand holding... i want it rough! arch looks great now... and ill try slackware next i think... f it all
but honestly, you know how many os installs I have to multiboot to? i don't scare easily....

Also don't know where else to post this... so got my first shot today.
That is all.

Working on something different tonight.

Although in some ways it was worse back then due to the nature of CPUs/RAM/disks of the time. As long as one can work out UEFI/boot loader and knows about how to setup kernel/tools and configure security it is easier now.
But I kind of agree there is not always a point in source based distros unless you have reasons.

great. Well its not about having who has pretty DE or not. Its about the happines and building and customizing something that makes you happy.

My next project is gentoo. Once next LTS kernel release, I will build that since what I need is atleast 5.11 kernel cause there is a patch on that kernel that my laptop benefits. For now Im gonna enjoy Arch. I distro hop for like 2 weeks but I settled with arch as it is very configurable and I just install apps I needed

johnspack · Jun 3, 2021

Such total class. Everyone take note of how night.fox responds in here.

Something I just have to say.... everytime a windows user switches to linux... an angel gets their wings. And a person gets their soul back!
