labwc is the best wl wm I've tried

@BlanK0 @GravitySpoiled

If you could tell the difference between hate and criticism you wouldn't wonder.

A fan? I wasn't a fan of debian 7, I just thought 8 was garbage and left when 7 could no longer upgrade.

@haui_lemmy

More mythology, ubuntu is just a layer of fluff over debian. Ubuntu wouldn't exist if it wasn't for debian. Just check your repositories. It is a fake distribution without character, mixing Free and non-free software from anywhere they can find them and promotes installing "foreign" pkgs to the system just to show they provide a wider variety.

@haui_lemmy @AnneBonny

You are reproducing a myth started from Arch to keep newbs and those with learning disabilities out of the way. The 2nd largest distribution after debian didn't survive this long if this myth had any truth to it.

@haui_lemmy @BaalInvoker

Many of my graphic applications spit out warnings on terminal about dbus not responding, because it never runs, neither do logind, but everything works for me. I don't pay attention!

@haui_lemmy @sabreW4K3

labwc is amazing too, try it.
The only thing I haven't figured out is how to run a graphic application as one user from another.
In X you simply do

sudo -u user2 firefox
as user1, in wayland you can't, even if a seatd is running for that other user as well.

Not all MS licenses are the same, some you can reuse 1 time, you just have to call up cus.support if the key was registered in your name.

If it was done online alone 1st it would have been cracked globally, then the machine/hw needs to be identified uniquely. How can this be done if you change disk and reinstall?

The way they do this is a chip intel/amd_x86-64 boards provide called MSDM and a unique key is embeded to it.
You plug a new disk, install, reboot is is already activated.

@grum999 @ajayiyer @nixCraft @linux @windowscentralbot

sudo strings /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/MSDM

So if you create a windows vm vb/qemu provide a virtual MSDM chip you can modify the value of?

@grum999 @ajayiyer @nixCraft @linux @windowscentralbot

I was reading what it would take to run a legal copy of w10/11 in a vm since the vm doesn't provide the chip to embed the license (post 5th gen intel and similar amd) and I almost threw up with MS disgusting policies of trying to sell more and more for every use.

If your mb gets fried you have to call up and authorize the transfer of license ...

You can't buy a $50 refurbished with sticker and get a free license for w11 :)

@grum999 @ajayiyer @nixCraft @linux @windowscentralbot

Some people have spare time to learn a thing or two, some people have spare cash to buy new hw when MS tells them to.

We are not all equal :)
We have a government that enforces and maintains inequality, otherwise equalization would come natural, and with some social organization.

Partial list of things you haven't tried or researched?
There is another list for realtek, you have to know the specific chip you need fw for.
