zero-ghost | or maybe i3 people with no desktop icons | 15:49:04 |
apesbrain | if i have one flavor of manjaro, for example xfce, can i safely and simply add (not replace) another, like KDE?
What to do for it? | 15:51:05 |
apesbrain | I remember that its of course possible, but last time i did it, it went wrong | 15:51:43 |
zero-ghost | yea it just doesnt work out | 16:00:24 |
zero-ghost | you can but like you just said... | 16:00:32 |
zero-ghost | its because of config files in your home folder | 16:00:38 |
zero-ghost | the things they configure are just too different across desktops | 16:00:51 |
apesbrain | its just somewhere on manjaro wiki they say like "yes you can, go on, we have instructions" and then we have mess if we dont do all things like a pro | 16:32:08 |
Strit | manjaro wiki says it is possible, but they don't recommend it anywhere. | 16:34:20 |
zero-ghost | the best bet might just be to run the lightest desktop possible and then rum virtual machines with the different desktops you like | 16:51:45 |
zero-ghost | then you have the best of all worlds at the same time | 16:51:53 |
zero-ghost | this assuming you have a pretty beefy machine i guess | 16:52:19 |
Strit | Pine64 is considering making a Linux phone and tablet... 😃 | 19:27:47 |
CaffeinatedTech | One further benefit of lutris is the install scripts. Someone else has gone to the trouble of working out all of the settings, best wine build and winetricks for you. | 22:56:58 |
mbien | another linux phone sounds great. | 23:53:35 |
mbien | hopefully the cost is appropriate for the hardware | 23:55:05 |

mbien | "The targets price should be in $100+ range for 2GB RAM and 16GB storage configuration." according to an article. looks like it is going to be on the low end. sounds interesting | 00:16:23 |
CaffeinatedTech | Yeah that's pretty exciting. They have a whole notebook for $99 USD, and you can buy the parts. I'm sure the phone won't be quite so modular but I'm excited to see what comes of it. | 02:54:19 |
mbien | 2gb is a little low though. if they could make that 4gb it would be perfect. you need that already for running a browser. | 02:58:15 |
Strit | Since they do have a board with 4gb Im sure they will offer a phone/tablet with it. | 03:48:02 |

| disobeyedtoast joined the room. | 04:24:22 |
Strit | I'm considering dropping Discord... | 18:07:41 |
Strit | Now, if Matrix servers where easier to setup properly, and the channel-wide calling system was rock-solid, Matrix would be a great alternative. | 18:10:31 |
Strit | Also one thing that Matrix desperately needs, is the ability to remove a room. | 18:26:11 |
Strit | It needs to fix the online indicators aswell. :) | 19:16:58 |

mbien | yeah but removing stuff is a bit problemetic given its federated nature. Every server you federate with has a copy of everything you have. Its a little bit like wanting to remove git commits after they have been published. | 01:49:05 |
zero-ghost | guess if you dont have the room encrypted you could ban everyone then encrypt the room then leave it? | 03:39:06 |
zero-ghost | at least all history should be ungettable for anyone new | 03:39:29 |
mbien | sure you could do that. but you can't influence other servers | 03:40:50 |
mbien | some server could just run with a policy to not remove anything | 03:41:18 |
