Is there a way to assess which packages on my linux distribution aren’t open source? I’m planning on having a secondary machine which is exclusively open source, but not sure how I would go about ensuring that is the case.

Okay, after trying a few different options out I think we have a winner :) Firefox suits my needs the best, thanks for the suggestion

I’ll give it a shot and see if it’s compatible. Cheers

Not too familiar with it, in what way would you consider it better?

My use case is a pdf of a book which is meant to be read across two pages - wouldn’t work if it’s displaying pages 1 and 2 together instead of pages 2 and 3, if you see what I’m saying. Does Zathura allow for that?

Not the only meme I fell for… Anyone know the best way to unload 5 thinkpads that originally shipped with Windows 7??

Arch wiki is superb, couldn’t have installed or configured Arch without it.

Makes sense. Do you find that by having the same install for so long (including transplanting it) that you have accumulated a lot of bloat? One of the things I really enjoyed about a fresh install was that I knew there wasn’t a build-up of digital junk files, but with Arch fresh installing every once in a while just seems impractical.

In a way this post is just long-form “I use Arch, btw” 🤯

Both :) Manual classic install doesn’t strike me as particularly complicated.

Flatpak is much better, thank you for the suggestion.

Okay, well switching to flatpak solved it. Thanks!

Good suggestion. What does this mean? [Parent 4226, Unnamed thread 762a7e8fd280] WARNING: Failed to set scheduler settings: Operation not permitted: ‘glib warning’, file /builds/worker/checkouts/gecko/toolkit/xre/nsSigHandlers.cpp:187

Just checked, I’m using the deb package.

I’m on PopOS, pretty sure it’s not snap!

To be honest this is why I asked! I came across this platform through a source that I would consider much further right wing than my personal politic views. I was expecting a cesspit, and I was pleasantly surprised to find the opposite :)

I think a lot of the comments have really hit the nail on the head. Never hurts to take a step back and try to detox from the climate of negativity that inundates social media. Go out for a walk, go cycling, touch grass

Politics outside the US can get pretty goofy, but Americans just seem to be on another level… just a shame that we all end up having to deal with the consequences :(
