I still need some more feel at home config help. As you can see here I love having vertical gradients on my displays, but in KDE and Vallpaper I have not found how I can set gradients on the side of my wallpaper which are deliberately not 16:9 since I love to look at (vertical) gradients. Where do I need to look to achieve that? Is there a KDE action that I need to define for all my 20 KDE desktops?

Im starting to achieve platform distro OS translucency regarding more and more projects. Now I can smoothly work in my hugo projects from any distro I want in Linux. All I need to do is keep the copies I work on in sync.
Since I dont run zfs jet on a centralized HDD / SSD I simply use mc -a to do the job manually.
Normally it should be trivial, but the hugo projects want rm -Rf dir otherwise old files with similar size can be changed, thus screwing up continuity

Since my KDE MX install is moothing out in cfg features I need, which is a combo of XFce components and KDE, I can smoothly switch to the KDE distro and work further while I tune it.

I chose to keep XFce seperate from KDE distro wise due to size constraints I;ve put on my boot partition

My experience with #FlashDrives recently has been mixed. I have no problem in encrypting them with #LUKS, using #cryptsetup or with formatting a partition with #Btrfs, for instance, using #gparted and doing other tinkering with #Gnome #disks. But the problem has been with the actual drives themselves. The cheaper ones seem to have quite a few bad sectors, etc. and so they’re not really reliable for medium term storage.

Ich muss es mal wieder in aller Deutlichkeit sagen:
Ich ❤️ #Linux

Im #Notebook meiner Frau war noch eine relativ kleine #SSD. Seit einem Jahr macht sie mega viele Fotos mit dem #Smartphone und bei der letzten Sicherung auf's Notebook waren nur noch 4 GB frei.

Ich habe das mit #LUKS vollverschlüsselte #Ubuntu kurzerhand mit Linux #Bordmitteln auf eine größere SSD umgezogen:

1. alte SSD mit dd auf neue SSD 1:1 geklont
2. neue SSD ins Notebook eingebaut und Ubuntu gestartet
3. im laufenden System unbenutzten Speicherplatz mit #gparted der verschlüsselten Root-Partition hinzugefügt.
4. im laufenden System das #LVM vergrößert
5. im laufenden System das Dateisystem vergrößert

Fertig.

Effektiver Arbeitsaufwand: 5 min

Man versuche das mal mit #BigTech #Microsoft #Windows. 🤣

Although you can run #dd on Windows and Mac, I feel compelled to use Linux everytime I need to run it.

It's something about the combo of having #gparted along with device addresses being /dev/sd[a-z] that feels so much more reassuring compared to not having gparted and having to use a device address like '\\?\Device\Harddisk0' on Windows ('/dev/disk1' on macOS isn't too bad..)

90% of it is having gparted. I don't understand how Windows and Mac get away with their garbage partition managers.

@SweetAIBelle @OS1337 nodds in agreement

Whilst I do want to focus on #CLI & #TUI tools first, since those offer the most "bang per storage" I can totally see why you want to go beyond that with something close to #TinyCore which packs a full #Xorg desktop onto 16MB, I'd guess this will be something to aim for post 1.0 if not 2.x.

  • A lot of tools like #gparted can be substituted with others that are functionally cose enough, like #cfdisk, to do partitioning.

That being said I do think that a lightweight #GUI #Desktop like #OpenBox or #i3-gaps or #Sway is something nice and would propably fit well as an "extra" or "fancy desktop" package.

  • Personally I do want to be able to target like low and lowest-end systems and at least have something instead of #MSDOS and old #Windows versions to run on #i486.

Not to mention that there are few and far in between options outside of #ix86 for most systems:

  • "Don't like #NetBSD or the native OS to some obscure system? Tough shit..."
