  • Aight, almost every time It seems like audio is working but you actually hear nothing, getting alsamixer out and selecting each output channel and making sure it’s unmuted and full volume, on every sound device that shows up ( hit f6 I think to switch device to ) makes a difference. I’ve never figured out why it gets f’d up but I think it has to do with the service that saves and restores alsamixer state during shutdown and startup




  • Excellent comment, I completely agree.

    Anyway I want to add that Linux does not seek market share, it’s an escape hatch for those of us fed up with commercial software.

    Linux is used to build plenty of commercial distros like Ubuntu and rhel that do seek market share which is something their companies can worry about.

    Plus, more Wayland support won’t break existing X software. If you want to use old systems, don’t expect new software to run on it.





  • Linux vtty forever! Can’t cat data into the framebuffer when your desktop is getting in the way!!

    Jk I use gnome terminal for everything, or whatever default is available. It’s quite amazing that most of them handle all but the most niche terminal features these days.

    When I need to install a terminal emulator for some reason I always go for urxvt… but it is pretty terrible (it’s a great vt but mouse interaction is clunky and graphics are old school) compared to pretty much everything else.
