  • Well, let me break it down for you since you don’t seem to work in this space:

    1. A Roadmap is a strategic timeline of targeted goals that are estimated to be completed in a specific timeframe that is NOT nebulous. It’s done this way to provide consumers of a product some knowledge of where the product is going to entice them to buy-in to said product to allow them to estimate their own commitments to the project and adoption.

    2. A backlog is NOT a Roadmap. I planned orchestration of tickets is a Roadmap. We create this to ensure users that problems they are experiencing will be resolved, and in what order to expect them to be resolved. This works for both for-profit engineering, and also FOSS projects. A great example of this is the Roadmaps provided by distros uses by Enterprise customers.

    3. Your comment about “inflexible commitment” seems to say you don’t understand the above points. If you’re pushing a product which you want people to adopt, and you’re communicating to them why they should adopt it, the last thing you would want to do is say “Hey, we’re kiiiiinda going this way, but maybe not. We’ll see.”

    4. Programming DOES work like an assembly in a sense. That’s why you have tickets, tags, classification, triage, status, and…backlog. What gets thrown in the floor is what I’m talking about.

    Regardless of how you feel about the pace of the project, it’s absurd to throw out a bunch of ideas as tickets and expect them to all get done without a commitment. Or, dare I say, a roadmap.








  • Not sure what the Frame means with any of this. It’s going to be running the same stack as Deck, which is KDE. It’s also not going to be any sort of headset for your PC, at least at the outset.

    As for your other Dr questions, it’s all just personal preference. The Desktop is just window dressing on a compositor and window manager anymore. If you’re comfortable without all the system helpers and convenience of using either Gnome or KDE, you can just run a WM like Hyprland or Sway instead.


  • Wait…so you’re looking for a solution with zero problems because of…clout or something? I don’t get it.

    If you like Debian, just stay with Debian. Especially if you’re not familiar with what running Arch really means in the deeper sense. Mostly that the guardrails are off, in a sense.

    CachyOS puts a ton of work into adding UX helpers that makes it pretty user friendly, but it’s still going to have a lot of manual intervention required, but that’s a feature to some.

    If you have an AMD laptop, maybe look into installing SteamOS and Kodi as a non-steam app. That could be your sweet spot.





  • Unless there is a mapping between a UID of a user across many different machines (something like a domain controller), you’re not going to be able to set proper permissions by user. You need to use a generic group, or provide global read access at a minimum.

    I’m not 100% sure why you’ve chosen this route, but there are MUCH simpler ways of doing this that don’t involve VMs and NTFS volumes.

    At this point, you’re butting up against 3 levels of nested permissions, including the VM. My suggestion would be to make sure all the files on the NTFS volume have global read access, then go into the VM and attempt to set NTFS permissions on the files (they are different). If that becomes too tedious, you could just try setting 777 on all shared files. It’s unsafe, but may get you through until you find a more…workable solution for what you’re doing here.

    I think the overall solution is to just not need this Windows VM, so look at moving these sites off to Nginx or something ASAP.
