I’ve spent the last year learning Linux and coding, I had used windows for years and only used Ubuntu 12 for very short stints, and as for coding i was clueless, now ive a basic understanding but im getting there. Anyway thank you to all the maintainers, devs and community
Check out btop. It’s another system monitor like htop but it has a bit more info and I’ve been pretty impressed with it.
I have btop on my desktop, very pretty
btop is just lovely.
Thanks for the suggestion.
fyi “riced” is kinda racist terminology. It goes back to car culture from the 90s and always kinda made me uncomfortable even then.
I’m Asian and I don’t even know or care. It’s a well accepted word with well-intended meaning. I even use that word from time to time.
So what is the new terminology for the practice of theming a desktop
Theming a desktop
Crackering
“The act of tackily retheming a gui in an attempt to look like a 1337 hacker. Typically the preserve of young white males in the tech industry”
Give it a few years and people will complain about it because cracker is used as a racist term against white people (because our skin looks like a cracker)
Woosh
Theming, customizing, personalizing, etc
lol anything but that idk. It literally originates from racist stereotypes about Japanese cars and car culture though, just thought I would let you know
Just looked into the terminology, as an Asian I don’t see it as that offensive if offensive at all when used for Linux theming
might not seem that way at a glance but as someone that was into car culture in the 90s it definitely was and that’s where it carried over from.
I don’t think it carries over. Its been reclaimed and now it has connotations of pride, ricing seems to of been an insult as the cars where cheaply and tackily fitted. My desktop and many others I’d seen “riced” looked far from cheap
We literally had this whole argument play out before and I’m just standing by the fact it isn’t “reclaimed” because most of the people using it and defending it are white dudes. I am not going to criticize your use of it if you’re actually Asian but it’s not really worth trying to reclaim imo.
I’m sure youll be having this argument a lot more
I get the feeling that the majority of lemmy users are either European or USean though
I thought it meant he spilled some water on it and had to put in a bag or rice. TIL.
Wat’s the OSK?
Wvkbd, its serviceable in a pinch but will probably switch to gnomes vkb
Nice - having tried wvkbd I would agree. How did you plan to use gnome’s vkb without gnome?
Clean rice. Nice.
I truly respect those who run linux on surface devices
Thank you but the guys over at linux-surface did the heavy lifting
Surface Pro 7 owner here as well. It’s performance with Windows 10 and 11 was absolute garbage, but after I put Arch on it (along with the linux-surface packages) it absolutely flies. It’s my night time binge watching tablet now haha.
Does wvkbd work with KDE? I’ve been trying to look for an alternative to Maalit that has system and arrow keys.
Very good rice!! Glad you are part of the linux community now. I went through the same thing like three years ago and it changed my life!!
Looks nice! I ran Linux on my SP3 for many years and it gave the machine an even longer life span. Only eventually sold it because 8GB of RAM was too limited if I ever wanted to run >2 JetBrains IDEs + Chrome
What wm
Sway
Cool. What keyboard r u using
Wvkbd, its serviceable
Never heard of it. Thanks
I’m glad that I read this comment. I have an old HP tablet running debian and I couldn’t find a useable wayland keyboard when I looked for one a few years ago.
I just installed wvkbd and I’ll be putting together a sway setup this weekend. Thanks!
I have a simple bash script https://github.com/squid-slime/sway/ your free to repurpose it, hides vkb when kb is present and shows vkb when removed
Ooh, that’s nice! I’m saving that for my next linux tablet upgrade. Right now, I’m limping along with an old HP Stream 7. It satisfies the basic goal of being a functional tablet, but attaching a physical keyboard to it is an act of penance.
How do u bring it up
I use a bash script that uses swayipc to detect if keyboard is present/disconnected, the script sends signal to wvkbd to show/hide
So itll be shown all the time? Could i send the signal with a command

Arch Linux with the linux-surface fixes and kernel And yes it supports multi touch, styles and gyro also works only thing that doesn’t is the camera
jesus christ we just had a huge struggle session about this.
Well we did but this is lemmy.ml, figured I would comment on it anyway because yeah it’s super fuckin racist lol.
i thought it wasnt a hexbear thread? maybe it wasnt a lemmy.ml thread but they should know better.
And why should I know of an obscur car culture slur?
It’s ok to not know about it, but when you are made aware about it you are then presented with a choice.
It’s up to you if you want to carry on using the term despite knowing about it’s roots.
Yo why is everyone mad about me calling drooling on the joint N-word lipping it? I didn’t know it was a slur I’m just trying to reclaim it.
