… Displaymanager (KDE, GNOME, CINNAMON, XFCE, …) der die von Euch gewünschten Anwendungen auch unterstützt (das angesprochene „Evolution“, ein „Linux-Outlook“, läuft z.B. nur unter GNOME) und der Euch das richtige „Look & Feel“ vermittelt.

I'll have to check into `boot.binfmt.registrations` in a bit, kinda chasing other dragons at the moment x-]

At a guess you've had that package for a long time and only now has it caused a problem? And you fixed it. Yay On Windows you'd likely have had to reinstall the whole OS.

SSDM-OpenRC-Integration broken by Update (displaymanager-openrc) [with solution]
I was unable to reconstruct exactly how this broke, but somewhere along today's -Syu, displaymanager-openrc was fragged. There was no clear error or indicator, Artix just booted to terminal rather than KDE. After a while, I found the hint [code]xdm ...

The bundled #GnomeDesktopEnvironment, #Mutter #WindowManager, and #GDM #DisplayManager all appear to be 1-2 year old versions of the #software. The server performance with 280M Memory Usage, 0 CPU Load, and 1.8G Disk Usage, and 11 second reboot time are not the best.

The #Desktop #OperatingSystem #Benchmark Tier List has been updated on everybytecounts.org for December 2024 dates. Notably #TinyDM #DisplayManager used by #PostMarketOS, doesn't appear to have any updates in the repository for a year.

Unfortunately both Mint and NixOS use the #LightDM #DisplayManager which Canonical abandoned 2 years ago. 617MB Memory Usage, 0.68 CPU Load, 7.1GB Disk Usage and 20 second Reboot time are all poor performance metrics compared to other options. Support this project at liberapay.com/craft/donate.

499M of Memory Usage and 0.40 CPU Load is not the worse. 6.3G of Disk Usage is poor. NixOS defaults LightDM #DisplayManager, which Canonical abandoned 2.3 years ago. Support this project with liberapay.com/craft/donate

今まで意識したことなかったけど
DesktopManager, WindowManager, DisplayManager
って全部違うのか
DesktopManagerはよく見るけど

DesktopManagerなしでWindowManagerだけだと
なるべくTerminalという非直感的なデバイスを使うことで中毒を抑止しながら開発活動に専念するという目的が達成できそうだな

音声もまだ使えないが逆に言うと使えるようにするべきではないのかもしれないな。Youtubeとかアマゾンプライムとかだらだら見ちゃうし
