I am really liking LXQT!
It feels substantially modular, simple, lightweight, and power-user friendly!
I love seeing an QT desktop that’s independent the behemoth KDE.

Another cute thing: No need to mess with gsettings or some dedicated command to mess with the config of a running system, you can just write to config files in ~/.config/lxqt, and it’ll be applied on-the-fly! Loving it~

OK, time to build linux 2.6!

> Makefile:1441: *** mixed implicit and normal rules: deprecated syntax

Ugh, okay, first we build old Make. Surely Make from 2006 will do…?

> Makefile:1441: *** mixed implicit and normal rules: Stop

Oh, okay. Welp. Make from 2002 will do…?

> glob.c:576:23: error: implicit declaration of function

God dang it, haha, of course I can’t build 2002 Make. Surely GCC 4.9 will work…?

> yes

nice

I am actually kind of amazed it was so easy for me to build gmake 3.80 from 2002 for arm64.

All I needed was to use an old Linaro toolchain, copy over some files, and…

$ cd make-3.80/
$ cp /usr/share/autoconf/build-aux/config.{guess,sub} config/
$ ./configure --host=aarch64-linux-gnu
$ make

Sugoi~!

There is a calm comfort that comes from seeing the familiar glow of your Emacs, and being able to use it eight hours a day.

Dear Friends with or without #Gurus or who #GNU

Here is the creator of EasyOS and Puppy Linux, talking about being grabbed by the kundalinis. Well part one anyway... hopefully more to follow...

Funnily enough I went to see Baba Muktananda who is mentioned, in America whilst I was working there.

My Guru was from Bihar but had no following. Just as well.

Are there any #GNU/Linux distributions that have strong #anti-gen-AI policies?

I'd love to be able to run something that I could trust would not put #slopware in it's repositories.

I'm fine using outdated versions of my favorite software, if it means I can hold off the #LLM wave.

Right now I have to double-guess every new software release and it's a burden.

There have to be some more #people who care about #EthicalComputing.

Maybe we can fork #Linux too.
