    I’m actually a big fan of gnome! I remember watching the countdown to gnome 3 back in 2012. It felt like the modern next step for Linux desktops. But then they never made a straightforward way to add applets and extensions that didn’t break every few years, and they have limited configuration options out of the box. I love the gestures and desktop management when I have 1 monitor, but that breaks down as soon as you add a second.

    I still use gnome on my laptop, but I’ve always been a desktop andy. My desktop runs KDE Plasma at the moment, and it’s so nice to be able to customize it in an intuitive and straightforward way.

    I will say, this seems like a recipe for someone accidentally leaking sensitive info. I advise extreme caution; stuff on lemmy often can’t be permanently deleted.

    With that said, here is how I sort my reaction memes on my phone. It’s a deeply flawed mess, but it works well enough for now:

    here’s a directory of some old drug faqs I saved from usenet ages ago with some modified dates older than a lot of lemmy users, hope you had a fun day :)

        In this case it’s because the compiler would like to link to the standard library (which doesn’t exist in this case, this is a kernel). Additionally i need a specific binary file layout, that’s what the linker script is for.

        in linux, (almost) every executable file (similar to windows .exe file) dynamically links to standard libraries. (“dynamic linking” means it links at run-time, rather than at compile-time). most link at least to a standard library called libc (standard C library).

        so when the program starts, before it actually executes any of its program code, the linker program is responsible for hooking up the program to any library that it needs. that’s the task of the linker, and that’s why technically, each time you start a program, the linker gets called before the program actually starts.

        idk why it’s in the root directory here.

        anyways: try the following: cat /usr/bin/bash | head or replace bash with any other program. you should see something like the following:

        where in the first few lines it says /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so that’s a reference to the linker that should be used.

          Ahh thank you for the explanation. I was asking in the context of the root of the configuration though, especially since nixos usually doesn’t use a linker at runtime anyway. Afaik, this process only happens to dynamically linked files, which nixos hates for some reason (although things like nix-ld and buildFHSenv exist) so most of the time statically linked executables are used instead.

          I was curious why someone would have that when they can just use nix-ld or yank it directly from nix’s glibc package or something

            As specified in my reply to your comment, this is a kernel, so running things like nix-ld isn’t an option. I don’t use dynamic libraries here for the same reason.

      It is something to see KDE apps being used to their full potential

      Simple by default, powerful when needed!

        I like GNOME over Plasma. But my favourite app on Linux is probably Dolphin. It perfectly embodies what KDE strives to be imo. A really nice default config while being more than powerful enough to handle most things I could ever want… I do wish network mounts over FUSE didn’t completely kill it though…

        I started out with Krusader, but it had a lot of issues i stumbled upon after using it for a few months.

        I like Dolphin, but it isn’t bugfree by far. If you open up an new tab in the 2-sided view, sometimes when hitting the “Back”-button, it swaps between the 2 sides on every push of the button, which only goes away after opening ANOTHER tab and closing it. Fucking annoying and persisting for at least the last year now.

    That’s right. I created a folder named Folder, then went into it and created another folder ALSO named Folder.

    My life is action packed.

      Nice! This almost makes me want to care about achievements so I can do something like that.

      Alas… Still don’t care

        it’s a blessing and a curse. Achievement hunting can be really fun, but oftentimes they’re not well implemented and it ends up sucking. Unfortunately, my completionist impulse is way too strong, so I must slog through it either way.

      It’s a folder that was in a copy of my old phone so I copied it to transfer it to another phone. I really need to organize my files anyways.

      Edit: That only gave me the ~/Documents/Documents folder but then I needed to delete an user anr make a new one so I just copied that to the new documents folder.
