Zip is fine (I prefer 7z), until you want to preserve attributes like ownership and read/write/execute rights.

Some zip programs support saving unix attributes, other - do not. So when you download a zip file from the internet - it’s always a gamble.
Tar + gzip/bz2/xz is more Linux-friendly in that regard.

Also, zip compresses each file separately and then collects all of them in one archive.
Tar collects all the files first, then you compress the tarball into an archive, which is more efficient and produces smaller size.

It’s interesting how often silent protagonists DO have their own personality.

For example, in The Legend of Zelda series Link is practically mute with only way to express itself is couple dozen lines of text and grunts. But 90% of people playing him - end up with the same annoying, unpatient little rascal who’s going home to home destroying everyone’s pots for fun.

Another good example is Doomguy - he’s unhuman, full of bloodlust and anger, unstoppable force. You can’t project yourself onto Doomguy, he’s it’s own character without any lines of dialogue and even before Doom games had any cutscenes.

Other silent protagonists that I believe have their own distinct personality: Jack from Bioshock 1, Kirby, Samus from Metroid, Chell from Portal, Claude from Gta 3, …

Need another guide for the step F, because how the f do you not drop the sheep with that awkward grip?

To be fair, it’s also missing open_dialog_file, dialog_open_file and most crucially file_open_dialog

mod+shift+q so you wouldn’t close hours of work by accident (e.g. when typing other mod+_ keybinds)

Half of the linux ecosystem is personal projects.
Linux itself started as

just a hobby, won’t be big and professional like gnu

It’s not useless as you can learn from it.

Almost. It doesn’t try to solve all the problems, though. I’d say it’s a passion project like Haiku and TempleOS.

From interview: it started as a research project. The author wanted a distribution that uses the least system resources with maximum performance.
He started with archlinux, moved on to gentoo and to go even deeper - found the infamous “linux from scratch” and started to shape his own distro.

Ok, because of this post - I decided to bite the bullet and try wayland again. And it was much better experience this time:

I’ve installed sway “pattern” on OpenSuse-Tumbleweed and:

• Previous time I had some issues with lightdm not supporting sway, now - it just works.
• I still use xdotool and i3-msg in my custom scratchpad script and yet everything is working.

waybar absolutely supports clicking tray icons.

I confused it with swaybar, that’s installed with sway by default and should be an i3bar-compatible. Waybar doesn’t seem to support i3bar protocol, but anyway, after I configured it - it’s like 95% there from what I want.

• I had to force xcb platform for appimage of nekoray (qt VPN gui), because it’s complaining about missing wayland-egl plugin. But it’s a small problem with straightforward fix, so not that bad.

I could switch tomorrow if I could do my current setup:

• Tiling Window manager (sway?)
• simple status bar to output text from a script with clickable applet icons (waybar?)
• the way to show/hide windows on a button press - I have a script that I use to quickly toggle 3 dropdown terminal windows

Last time I tried Wayland in December, I had issues with waybar not supporting clicking tray applet icons. Also I’ve ported my dropdown terminals script to support sway - and it worked half the time, like, literally every second key press was ignored.

On one hand I have X session that currently has no downsides for me, on other - wayland that has no upsides. Tell me, why would I switch?

That’s why mods exist. And some games have a setting to hide helmets.

You still think in 1-based system, Pi unit * Pi unit is Pi of Pi units or 3.14159… Pi units. Also, Pi unit / Pi unit is 1/Pi Pi units or 0.318309886183790… Pi units…

1 is also a number, a number we chose by convention to be a base unit for all numbers. You can break down every number down to this unit.

20 is 20 1s. 1.5 is 1 and a half 1.

If we have Pi as a unit, circumference of a circle would be radius*2 of Pi units. But everything that doesn’t involve Pi would be a fraction of Pi, e.g. a normal 1 is roughly 1/3 of Pi units, 314 is roughly 100 Pi units, etc. etc.

Who said Pi is infinite? If we take Pi as base unit, it is exactly 1. No fraction, perfectly round.

Now everything else requires an infinite precision.

WTF?! Is that a bird or a starship?

If it was near the shore - they might’ve stole the section of wire. Copper is really expensive.

Reminder that paying money is morally wrong and should be avoided when possible. Steal the consoles and pirate if you have to play the games.

it’s a marketing stunt not a logic-related problem
