@gnuplusmatt@fosstodon.org i dual boot archlinux & kdelinux, with me spending most of my time in the latter for recent months. i've also run kinoite on my ssd before kdelinux, where it was straightforward to install s/w. kalpa also lets us. however the one unsolved challenge i have in kdelinux [my apps are via a combo of flatpak & distrobox] is i've found no way yet i can install my vpn app & have it work... unlike kalpa & kinoite, kdelinux has no package manager. having it in a distrobox did not work, albeit maybe i need to create a root not merely user db? there is no flatpak version, nor appimage, & the other precompiled binaries [rpms & debs, & Arch's one] are no use given no pkg manager. #DropbearPooterising #Linux #LinuxWomen #FOSS:kde: :linux: #KDELinux | :archlinux: :kde: :plasma: #ArchLinux #KDEPlasma :opensuse: #Kalpa | :debian: #SparkyLinux | :fedora: #Kinoite

No #Fooyin #Player for my #sparky Linux?! https://github.com/fooyin/fooyin The .deb for "Bookworm" expects libicu72. The .deb for "Forky" expects libicu78. I can currently only offer libicu76. So I am trapped. Meeeeh! :-/ Perhaps I can lift Sparky to "Forky"... Hm. 🤔 #versionitis #debian #sparkylinux@SparkyLinux@mastodon.social

for mega-yonks i have avidly followed heapsa #linux hashtags [as a linux user & enjoyer] plus various #bsd tags [as someone somewhat bsd-curious but quite overwhelmed by it conceptually & practically]. am now thinking of unfollowing said bsd tags, coz seeing all the posts from all the clever peeps using it with all their incomprehensible commands & concepts, rather than inspiring me is kinda sorta more demoralising & overwhelming me also, there's just no point me ignoring the fact that i bloody well love using my various linux systems, & hafta be honest with myself that the chances of me ever seriously embarking on learning then using another paradigm now are pretty damn slender so, unfollowing said bsd tags seems logical & pragmatic and yet... ...it also feels cowardly & lazy ergo ever more i continue walking around in an endless circle on a cold distant planet, locked in a logic loop, the very robot of which asimov wrote #DropbearPooterising #Linux #LinuxWomen #FOSS ​:kde:​ ​:linux:​ #KDELinux | ​:archlinux:​ ​:kde:​ ​:plasma:​ #ArchLinux #KDEPlasma ​:debian:​ #SparkyLinux | ​:opensuse:​ #Kalpa | ​:fedora:​ #Kinoite
