you installed it without uninstalling first? have you tried an apt purge to get rid of related conf files, then reinstall kde?

[–] billgamesh@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 months ago

Yeah. I like the config file being really easy to set up... permit persist user permit nopass user cmd poweroff permit otheruser cmd [whatever]

I mean, that's one of the things that definitely needs permissions, right? You're overwriting system config and executables for all users on your system. Otherwise a malicious actor could just replace firewall configs, or embed malicious code into your executables. If not /bin and /etc what else should need privileges?

In all this printer talk... Shout out for dot matrix printers! As long as I send ascii, it prints exactly what I want it to, and graphics are a predictable format detailed in the printer manual

May I recommend further a good desktop pc w/upgradable parts and a used thinkpad laptop for travelling? You can get a good thinkpad for work and small games for $20-50 and they tend to last forever and be easy to repair. my favorite is X series

No problem. I actually don't know, but I did find this arch forum post with a suggestion about kernel boot parameters (although yours would be different) this Does that picture look similar (although more dramatic)?

this essay by Huey P Newton is pretty good about anarchism being good theory, but typically counterproductive in caste societies like US

I have linux distros that i like and work for me, i almost never have issues. I think it depends on hardware, and i think a lot of the issues are just people trying to do things as they used to on windows and things just work a bit different

My reading was it wasn't based purely on number of files, but metadata related to files and stuff (idk what that is in ext4, but movies tend to be large and complex related to music). it's probably irrelevant because that's still a really small number on a modern hard drive.
