hmm thanks i’m gonna try that script you linked in artix wiki. Havent seen that one before so its worth a shot. What I usually see is some systemd Unit scripts. Gtlock looks neat as well, does swaylock give you problems too?

The only robust and no BS lock combo so far, imo, is Regolith i3wm.

For some reasons and whatever black magic eas used, this Frankenstein combo of i3 and GNOME work every single time. The downside is their configs are soooo messy. It is very hard to use whatever you have in vanilla i3 for Regolith.

I like and I do use Linux as my main OS. No dual boot BS, just pure Linux

butttttttttttttt

getting hibernate working perfectly in Linux on new hardware is PITA. I’m just happy with suspend working well, let alone hibernation.

Modern standby is the absolute shit of an invention.

This is the ONLY reason I wish I have a Mac. Forget all the memes and jokes about Apple, their laptops suspend very well. IIRC, they also have a hibernation timer built in, so if your laptop automatically hibernates after X hrs. But I dont want to be stuck in their ecosystem, so yeh…

Linux devs are not that keen to make hibernate work well either. Remember systemd dev forcefully removed the “suspend then hibernate” feature? You can still find the thread on Github lol.

try Vivaldi.

thanks, i asked because the Google PlayStore has WaterFox from waterfox.net. Not sure if this is real or fake, because other Fox forks can only be installed from Fdroid like Mull/Fennec

where did you get Waterfox on Android? The Playstore or F droid?

interesting, so you just back up your ~/.password-store directory? You use the same thing on Android or something else?/

I am using KeePass, it generates password and also TOTP. Works fine but I want to switch to something more Linuxy. Keepass is great but you really depend on a 3rd party.

the GNU pass encrypt using gpg? How do you transfer between devices, using cloud?

Do you script it so when it is an Ebay/Amazon link, Libre Wolf is opened? Or you just remember to do so?/

funny how with sooooo many updates, Windows are still very vulnerable. You buy a Windows PC, you better equip Antivirus software too; it is like bread and butter. On Linux and also Mac, you never need to worry about these things.

I use vi from an Emacs Shell, which was spawned from an Emacs GUI.

IMO:

• want to show off? i3wm with gaps and rofi for menu launcher. Add it some transparency effects too.

• want the MacOS style? Gnome. Default on a lot of distros.

• want something stable? XFCE. Install and forget.
