Now I wonder if I dual boot linux / windows, why is there no software that can basically use my existing windows installation from another partition to run windows software (like, maybe load it into VM or something)?

Thank god we have people like you. Please never stop telling people it’s ok to use this word.

I comment the commands that I want and then use vim to remove ones without comments.

For example, I run:

longandannoyingcommand -f1 -f2 -f3 # keep, does something useful

Usually comment explains what the command does so I can find it by description using fzf history search. And then you can easily find all lines that contain (or do not contain “# keep”) in your history to remove or keep.

Arch users switching back to Arch after 10 minutes of using Ubuntu:

Yes. You choose the compose key in your DE settings (usually right alt key), then you can press it and type compose sequences to insert unusual symbols or strings.

Thank you very much!

Looks like the site is down or blocked in my country.

Could anyone please be so nice and copy paste those commands here?

It’s worse when you have a bugged function, try to fix it, and no matter what you change it’s still bugged because an hour later you realize there is a function with the same name that redefines the function you were changing anyway somewhere else in the code.

Can you press “custom” and enter 0?

I wish it was only about software…

No, and I miss it. Space sniffer was so good.

Well you can have 1 letter sequences which is almost what you want. For example have a sequence that consists of single “u” key that composes into “ü” or something similar.

I don’t know if it’s the same in every DE/Distro, but in KDE I’m pretty sure I can both hold the Compose key and type sequences, or press Compose key once and then type a sequence.

But can’t check right now.

Could you please ELI5 what are spill ranges?

Tbh I don’t have an answer and this isn’t what you’re looking for, but have you heard of Compose key? I don’t know what is kmomad, but I’m pretty happy with my custom compose sequences.

For some reason benchmarks won’t load on my device.

Could anyone please upload the images somewhere else?

Could you please explain how is ricing racist?

JXL.

I’m trying to tinker with my system and replace a perfectly good and well optimized default kernel for some kernel made for specific niche use cases and I don’t see any performance increase. Why would it be?

Yes, surprisingly the default kernel is optimized well rather than just being a badly written placeholder that users should manually replace for their system to become usable.

It’s 2025 and stuff is designed to just work out of the box.

But it’s used in PES (Passenger Entertainment Systems) at least.

Please.

If I wanted to read Musk, I’d follow him.

If I wanted to see someone’s tweets all day, I’d be Twitter instead of Lemmy.

I use Lemmy to read Lemmy, not to be reading screenshots of Twitter in Lemmy.

Thanks.
