I went Kububtu -> Pop -> Arch with Sway -> Fedora KDE -> Arch again, now with KDE. I like Arch, been using it for years now and no interest of switching.

Now if you would kindly tell me how to get those apps installed on a privacy respecting OS

Except whatever brings internet to my apartment apparently

I’m not sure about yay but paru installs them completely first too, before AUR stuff. It literally runs pacman -Syu

Isn’t pacman -Syu redundant if you run yay -Syu afterwards? Also, just yay is the same as yay -Syu

I’m not even aware of another way

I have no idea what’s going on in this post, but is that a DecTalk command?

I once ran a red light with my moped, made of steel, because the light never turned green

Cool! Though I’ll probably still use krunner for this

They don’t want you to know, but you can actually buy that stuff without being invited to their secret club

I’m also curoious how bad of a computer OP has if it’s unable to run a VM

They don’t even know what an operating system is

I also got a VM, it gets used for exactly 2 pieces of software, ElvisMX and Multisim

As a youth interested in ham, I couldn’t agree more. It’s been surprisingly difficult to find stuff for beginners who know pretty much nothing. Even having studied for the ham exam, there’s still a huge gap between that and the generally available information.

I’ve also been using Plasma on Wayland with Nvidia with very little problems for at least a couple years

I somehow enabled the Vulkan renderer for Plasma at some point, and it caused this problem. Disabling it fixed this.

Posted it there too.

Yeah I thought this thing was pretty decent, way better than originally, but then I got to use a Prusa MK4 at school…

I don’t think the CPU in my computer has changed in a while
