Juank Prada Art🇬🇧Finished the new setup. This is where the magic happens now.
🇯🇵新しいセットアップ完成。これからはここが私の創作拠点。
Aelspire@Juankprada Nice! So you settled on Fedora? I'm using both Debian and Arch but experimented with non-systemd distros in the past, but noticed that the biggest problem is udev and libudev. While you can avoid using other systemd parts, this one is dependency of literally everything…
@aelspire No. Im going back to Devuan. While Wayland seems to be working fine I’m still experiencing issues with Krita under Wayland. Maybe once Krita 6 comes out of beta I may move to Wayland. But for now Devuan is my home
@Juankprada I noticed that Devuan probably uses eudev:
Transitional package for eudev
I've tried to use eudev and mdev+libudev-zero on Alpine but I had a lot of problems with both.
Can you mount encrypted USB drive via some file manager? Or you given up file managers?
I hope that recent systemd shenanigans will cause some popularization of alternatives. I'm not real hardcore systemd hater. I'm happy with not having to use Windows, and need to prioritize having fully-working computers over ideology. But I would feel better knowing that one project doesn't rule over whole FLOSS world. The kernel is enough.
@aelspire I haven’t tried encryption at all but mounting usb drives works without issues. Tried it with Thunar (my regular fm), Dolphin and PcmanFm.
I am not a Systemd hater either. I’m pragmatical and I’ve been using Devuan for a while and know how to use runit better than Systemd 🤷.
Also I don’t like how all Linux are becoming the same without leaving options for variation.
@Juankprada Mounting regular non-encrypted USB drives was working, from what I remember. But I often lose my USB drives, so I usually encrypt them, so I don't need to worry about it maybe having some sensitive data too much.
@aelspire Will give it a try once I get back to Devuan🤔
@Juankprada Thank you! I've tried it on Void, KISS community and Alpine, but maybe it works on Devuan. It would be nice to migrate to Devuan if so. I'm also thinking about Gentoo, you can have non-systemd system + udev on Gentoo.
@aelspire I avoid rolling release distros. If I want to mess up my environment and spend 2 days recovering it I want it to be because of my own stupidity and not because someone pushed some updates that if don’t apply them right away they will render my system useless in a week 😁
@Juankprada This is why I'm using both Arch and Debian on different machines 😉
I like Debian's stability but sometimes I feel urge to try some new fun project I read about in news, or some new features of something I'm using and Arch gives me it. And when something breaks (It doesn't happen very often) or something suddenly changes and I need to adapt my workflow to it (It happen much more often) I just sigh and open my Debian machine. I'm using my own Nextcloud server + git for projects to sync almost everything so I have all my important data available on both of my machines.
@aelspire You know, this is what I learned this week. Never to read about exciting new things in Linux. I need stability and reading about those things tempt me to try them.
On Monday I read that Wayland was working really fine with Nvidia so I decided to move from Devuan stable to testing.
Now I’m reinstalling the the OS for the second time this week
@Juankprada 🤣 Yes, that was my problem too! Until I've got second machine + server, but that is pretty hardcore solution.
@aelspire It’s faster than trying to fix the issue for me actually. I have my Home partitions backed daily and the core system setup is automated after installation so…
