Great idea. Thanks for sharing. Great choice of laptop BTW ;)
I forgot about the distro. Any should work I think but Arch is fully supported if you’re interested.
https://frame.work/es/en/products/laptop-13-gen-amd/configuration/new the 1600€ but is so expensive for me, but i like it very much even the concept
Have you looked at the DYI option instead of the pre built one? Assembling this laptop is doable in 5 minutes for a 3 years old kid ;) You can even find step by step guides videos and that will bring the price down to your higher limit of 1000 euro. That may be a good option if you like the concept so much. I’m personaly looking to get one of those for my next machine.
Also, this discussion may help you. It’s on the framework forum but comments are not only all positive which reflects liberty of speech. Another plus in my view. Finally, always remember to compare apples to apples and take longevity in consideration. Not all processors with similar specs are the same for example.
Quite recently I moved to my first trackball (Elecom Deft Pro) and that was a life changer. I’ve shared my experience here.
When setting up your SSD, don’t forget to use TRIM to preserve it if possible. See the Arch wiki. You can follow it even if you use another distro.
Thanks for sharing.
I was personally not motivated/good enough to write a new tool so I’ve wrote scripts to use rofi (easily adaptable to dmenu) as:
I’ve explained the basis here if you’re curious. Even though I was bad at keeping my code up to date you may get some ideas to expand your program.
Thank you very much for your feedback. I’ve spent quite some time trying to create a minimalist and efficient theme. Very glad to hear that I met this goal.
I’ve explained my choice for zsh here
Nicely configured it’s so convenient that I spend most of my time in the terminal and don’t even use a file explorer anymore. It can also be expanded with some plugins for specific use-cases.
nomacs could be an option and is multi platform
Thanks for sharing!
Using Ublock picker (not zapper) you can block/allow elements per domain and save/revert your choices. But overall, like I already said, I agree with you that umatrix offered a more granular and easy approach. It would be nice to see that implemented in Ublock. I nonetheless understand why it’s not the case since it would benefit only few users and may scared most of the others.
Hopefully umatrix will work for you for a long time. For me it was not and that’s how I discovered Ublock and adapt to its “limitations”. On a daily basis it helps me browse the internet like umatrix did. It’s just sad that umatrix was not forked.
I noticed that it was not maintained when some pop-ups showed up while they used to be blocked. I also first missed that level of granularity from umatrix. You can replicate it with the element picker mode in Ublock but I realized that I could live with the “basic” Ublock advanced settings.
Umatrix was awesome but is unfortunately not maintained anymore since July 21, 2021. Ublock origin is a perfect replacement though and can be deeply configured behind its simpler appearance. Coupled with the LibRedirect add-on in the Librewolf browser and I can navigate ad and tracking free.
LibreWolf is indeed based on the hardened Firefox arkenfox user.js so you get its benefits which means a privacy-focused browser but Librewolf also comes with more settings pre-adjusted, telemetry removed, useless features removed…
I’ve played with Firefox settings for years before Librewolf was created and it saves me so much time, ensure my browser stays up to date and functional, and is able to perform fingerprints test way better than any other many web browsers I’ve tried.
There was just a similar post here. You may find interesting clues there as well.
Glad you’re back on tracks! Looks like this update messed up /bin for some people. I love when OPs like you take time to close their first post with the resolution. Thank you. If you have time to quickly summarize the details of the fix that may benefit others as well.
I’ll put the link to the wiki here again ;) https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Chroot
"Run arch-chroot with the new root directory as first argument:
# arch-chroot /path/to/new/root
You can now do most of the operations available from your existing installation. Some tasks which needs D-Bus will not work as noted in #Usage"
To investigate the issue you may want to use a bootable drive and chroot into your system. This will allow you to see any error messages using the journactl command. Once you know what’s going on exactly you’ll be able to fix it or get a better assistance from people here or on the Arch forum.
I know someone who encountered the exact same login behavior after this update. It appeared that some packages were broken and he had to reinstall them.
I’ve been using xterm, urxvt, and st. Also tested alacrity, kitty, and wezterm. Your shell also plays a critical role in your terminal usage (but I won’t deviate here).
For my use-case, the latter are overkill so I stayed with st. The only missing feature for me was image support even though I use it sporadically. To cover that I use a script that relies on ueberzug or ucollage if I need to browse folders.
I’ve wrote a small post about ucollage if you’re interested.
