N.E.P.T.R@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Linux@programming.dev•WinBoat is a new Linux app to run Windows apps with "seamless integration"English6·23 days agoIt requires rootful Docker, KVM, and AppImage (FUSE2). As long as those requirements are met, it should work. Should be as simple as using
ujust
orrpm-ostree
to install the necessary packages.
N.E.P.T.R@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•I got to avoid memory management for quite some timeEnglish5·25 days agoProbably a good idea. I decided to learn Rust after using Python for a couple years. I took a semester of C++ but barely remember anything. Maybe I should write a project in C and rewrite later in Rust. I personally only learn when I get inspiration to make a program, which means I learn on the spot. I don’t think it is the best way to do things (if I knew the language better I may make better decisions), but it is the only way I can motivate myself to learn.
N.E.P.T.R@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•SilverBullet v2 released: open-source, self hosted, programmable notesEnglish4·27 days agoIf all you need is a simple note taking app, I recommend Notesnook. It is free and open source and offers E2EE cloud syncing. That is what I used as a Google keep alternative. Silverbullet is good, but may be too feature-full for something as simple as a Keep replacement.
N.E.P.T.R@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com•How can one consume media these days with any sort of privacy?English31·1 month agoI dont have that issue. Most Mullvad servers work for me on Youtube via Tubular (Newpipe). If it doesnt work I just change servers.

GNOME both secures privileged Wayland protocols and has sandboxing for its thumbnailer, among other important security features. KDE is another option, but is kinda over the top for an amnesic distro.

N.E.P.T.R@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Linux@programming.dev•Wayland Will Never Be Ready For Every X11 UserEnglish2·2 months agoI did a fresh install of fedora in a VM given 4 cores, 16gb ram, and storage on an NVME SSD. Finally I am getting a reasonable boot time of 6.5 seconds. But on bare metal I can’t get anywhere close to that. Firmware alone takes 15 seconds. Either way, now I know that it isn’t a “Systemd problem”, just that only Systemd gives me this problem.
N.E.P.T.R@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Linux@programming.dev•Wayland Will Never Be Ready For Every X11 UserEnglish1·2 months agoIdk what is wrong but every fresh install on any Systemd distro (Arch, Fedora, Debian, openSUSE) has the same slow boot on every device I have tried. I have never seen a 5 second boot on anything else but dinit.
Oh, and my disk is a modern M.2 SSD for my workstation.
N.E.P.T.R@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Linux@programming.dev•Wayland Will Never Be Ready For Every X11 UserEnglish2·2 months agoI have tried. Nothing worked. I also experience the same slow booting on every machine+systemd, with the same resulting slow boot up. Even friends have mentioned to me the slow boot times compared to Windows.
N.E.P.T.R@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Linux@programming.dev•Wayland Will Never Be Ready For Every X11 UserEnglish46·2 months agoThe big reason I personally dislike Systemd is bloat. It takes me 6 seconds to boot a windows 11 VM, it takes 20+ with Systemd, and it takes 6 seconds with dinit. On real machines I frequently hit 40 seconds with systemd. Now is that enough of a problem that I am going to switch to Windows (ugh) or Chimera/Artix, probably no. I still find it very annoying.
