    this post implies that you download debs from the internet instead of using your distro's package manager

    also last I checked apt hasn't stopped being a cli over the years

    I think that's entirely a Hyprland problem. Iirc there's some option in the misc config group in the config to help mitigate that.

    E: I meant specifically opengl:nvidia_anti_flicker

    Vaxry is an asshole (the Hyprland maintainer)

    Help me choose linux's best option for public school lab (distro, desktop, etc.)
  • backhdlp backhdlp 6mo ago 42%
    1. I'd say go for a rolling, maybe do updates on weekends
    2. The students will very likely appreciate the customizability of Plasma or Cinnamon; if you want them to focus on work, GNOME (probably with some extensions) would be better. Tilers are a bad idea, because they take some getting used to
    3. Doesn't really matter, company distros might be paid tho, and that can obviously get expensive
    4. Wayland if your DE has good support (i.e. is GNOME or Plasma), otherwise X
    5. Btrfs' snapshotting capabilities might be useful to rollback the system to something working if the students fuck something up
    6. Immutable without sudo access should be the safest to hand over to people that you don't want to ruin anything
    7. I don't know enough about specific purpose distros

    If you already know Nix, NIxOS would be a good choice

    I think something like

    %wheel ALL= NOPASSWD: /bin/apt
    

    should be the right way of disabling the password for apt.

    They do! /bin has the executables, and /usr/share has everything else.

    I don't think there really is an easy way to do this. For sure not as easy as reinstalling.

    Thanks, I switched from unconfigured (but working because magic) networkmanager to pure wpa_supplicant on my NixOS system yesterday and I definitely noticed frequent reconnecting.

    Why are some comments yellow?

    It looks like it may be related to new comments, but they're not yellow every time. I just went on a post with "23 [Comments] (10 new)", but only one is yellow. I'm using the darkly theme. I find it annoying because I can't easily see if something is a top-level comment or a second level comment. Reloading unyellows them.

    TL;DR: Wofi is unmaintained [Wofi](https://hg.sr.ht/~scoopta/wofi) is a launcher/menu for wlroots based compositors. The description on the sourcehut says that it's not actively maintained. Looking at the commits confirms this: The most recent commit was 4 months ago, and the 10th most recent 10 months ago. The creator also confirms this again in a [reddit comment](https://reddit.invak.id/r/swaywm/comments/vnaqwu/wofi_got_improved_fuzzy_matching_support/ie7ie02/?context=3). (libreddit link) Yet in most places I look ([sway wiki 1](https://github.com/swaywm/sway/wiki#program-launchers), [sway wiki 2](https://github.com/swaywm/sway/wiki/Useful-add-ons-for-sway#menus)*, [hyprland wiki](https://wiki.hyprland.org/Useful-Utilities/App-Launchers/#wofi)\*\*, [gentoo wiki](https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/List_of_software_for_Wayland#Application_launchers), [arch wiki sway](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Sway#Application_launchers), [arch wiki hyprland](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Hyprland#Application_launcher), [awesome hyprland](https://github.com/hyprland-community/awesome-hyprland#runners-menus-and-application-launchers)\*\*) it's at least listed somewhere, often near or at the top, with no mention of the maintenance status. I also searched for comments on lemmy containing wofi and only one of them mentioned that it's unmaintained, and that under a post that's seemingly deleted. *edited by me just now **filing an issue (or maybe pr) tomorrow when I'm less tired I guess it still works perfectly fine, and I'm ok with using unmaintained software (Android 9), but I'm sure there are people who would like to know that. While I'm here, I'd like to highlight that there is [an *active* rofi fork](https://github.com/lbonn/rofi) that supports wayland with full functionality, which is a great alternative to wofi.
