The way the iPad has it seems OK, where you can disallow apps, websites and set time limits.

Thats great. I do fear that it’ll still pretty much be a requirement if they continue to force age verification through websites etc.

You could try using something like WiFi Analyzer on Android - this will give you a bunch of ways to visualise the number of networks, their frequency, and channels that are being used. At the very least it’ll give you a good idea in how busy the area around you is.

Wolf is really cool. It allowed my low powered laptop to stream from my main PC, while the main PC is being used for other tasks.

Definitely found some issues with it today - sorry if it didnt really work for you. Seems like I missed some stuff with enabling the repositories etc. Especially if you tried the gaming bundle - still more work to be done there.

Its a learning curve for sure, I’m still learning it myself. Openrc seemed to be fairly popular, so thats why I started with that.

There is a few changes such as not using service files and instead using crob jobs, seeing the logs of your tasks need to be hooked into using syslog-ng to consolidate the logs. I’m still learning how you see stuff like the service status etc.

Its been fun learning something new again, and writing a script like this to set it all up for me has been a great way to learn it all.

I don’t need it, no. Its more akin to an unattended installer with a answer file - once you start the script you only need to input the new password for root and user account and thats it.

I’ve started updating my own Arch install script to work with Artix instead. Hopefully have it done in a few days.

For now

Hey, free marketing. No one was talking about the distro, so they let it expire every time to get into the news cycle. Then they have an influx of people visiting the site, and they drop a new big feature/update to get more eyes on it.

Or they’re just incompetent.

Ford absolutely SLAMS physics

Sweet, I’ll have to trawl through some resources and try to figure out what to get. Its far more complicated then I thought ha ha

Thats a software vendors wet dream - owning the store where people buy your software all the way down to owning the fabs that produce hardware required to play those games.

I wonder how far they’re willing to push the “its just a PC” rhetoric - they might consider releasing a chassis only enthusiast version without RAM and SSD etc. Similar to how Framework has their DIY edition and configurator.

Steam Machine is better for SEO I imagine

Good question. It could go either way - SDDM and PLM are different enough that any customisations you did on SDDM are at risk of breaking when going to PLM. So they either do it automatically and upset those with customisations that don’t work, or you keep it manual and upset those that don’t want to do it manually.

Given that CachyOS is more aimed at those more comfortable with the terminal (Arch-based) I tend to think it’ll remain manual.

For anyone else who was curious like me, there are manual steps required for existing installs to use the plasma login manager:

**Manual changes for existing users:**

KDE Plasma users with SDDM can now migrate to Plasma-Login-Manager. Please run:

sudo pacman -Syu plasma-login-manager
sudo systemctl disable sddm
sudo systemctl enable plasmalogin
sudo pacman -R sddm-kcm cachyos-themes-sddm sddm

After that you can use in Plasma Settings under the KCM “Apply Settings”.
