What are some minimalist projects in the crypto space for digital cash alternatives?
  • I doubt that current systems can replace cash at scale but for niche usage Monero and Litecoin. Also Grin but it is dead.

  • Choice on Linux is a JOKE. Here's why.
  • It is a hard pill to take.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • Ah, yes. The ETH/ETC split was earlier.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • Litecoin was a fork of codebase not a fork of a chain.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • And the other in a penny stock category due to low market cap. Thus it is more suitable for market pump and dump schemes.

  • Why is Monero hated by Bitcoiners
  • Bitcoin maxies hate everything. Especially the most prominent competitors. They only embrace enemies of their enemies sometimes promoting even pure scams.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • People sometimes need no a reason but a pretext to create a coin fork. After the BTC/BCH split the general concept of chain hard forking was discovered and many pointless forks was created.

  • immutable + reproducible packages - learning curve = ?
  • NixOS learning curve maybe is not so hard. You can start with default configurations and installed Calamares what is as simple as on other distros. Than look for options and try.

    Otherwise, Flatpaks are reproducible (build with flatpak-builder as on Flathub).

  • Open To All – Blog.CentOS.org
  • I'm sick of all the attempts to whitewash the recent Red Hat move. This makes things only worse. Fedora will not be affected, Alma has a bright future, CentOS is open to all, "rebuilders", clones...

  • Base Community Distros
  • Major: Debian, Gentoo, NixOS, Arch and also FreeBSD (not GNU/Linux but still).

    Other and esoteric: Void, Alpine, Solus, CRUX, Slackware, Mageia/OpenMandriva,

    Corporate sponsored: Fedora, openSUSE

  • What is the most opinionated linux distro?
  • On Endless or Ubuntu you could install Brave in one click but it will be Flatpak or Snap.

  • glowing brighter than the sun
  • Sun is now Oracle anyway.

  • Does anyone actually like the default GNOME workflow?
  • BTW there was a nice idea behind the only close button in early GNOME 3. Apps were intended to save the state on exit, so one doesn't need to minimize windows, they can close it and reopen at any time and see the exact content of a window. But GNOME completely has failed to deliver that idea.

    What makes things worse, there was no clear way to keep apps on the background when the main window is closed. It was seemed as antifeature. But that was a different world where weren't so much of internet service applications running on the background 24h a day. Now there is a background portal but with quite minimal support in the DE.

  • Does anyone actually like the default GNOME workflow?
  • Maybe it's just a general habit of mine that I keep minimum things open at time and close everything after use: desktop windows, android apps, browser tabs. So I use up to 3-5 dynamic workspaces most of the time.

  • Does anyone actually like the default GNOME workflow?
  • I switch between apps from overview or by typing in search, or by sliding between workspaces. It is more convenient to me than classic desktops with a taskbar and minimized windows.

  • AlmaLinux gives up being 1:1 RHEL compatible
  • I don't believe it will work. To do so it requires to maintain their own repository of RPM specs for a stable release distro. In this case Alma will became an active independent distro downstream to Fedora and CentOS Stream, and could steal the focus from RHEL. I don't think RH will allow that. Not to say I requires significant effort and Alma is a small community funded project. It's to good to be true and I have skepticism about the positive attitude of the blog post.

    I guess RH tries to "embrace" Alma and Rocky as it was with CentOS.

  • Favorite coin
  • There are more idealistic people in the community that technical. It is hard to discus technical blockchain things: consensus, state, contracts, zkp and how those could be useful for the further improvements of the protocol and the ecosystem. The development is slow as the result with a lack of community vision about the future of the protocol. The situation is slowly changes as the coin gains more popularity.

  • Why is openSUSE so... weird?
  • Always has been.

    But to be fair, openSUSE was my first linux distro after Windows and YaST had been helpful to me before I learned how to use console commands. And then I switched to another distro.
