    Fedora uses it by default on KDE Plasma and Gnome. It even removed Xorg support for Gnome (and maybe Plasma. Can't remember). Ubuntu uses it by default with Gnome. Any distro which leaves the DEs on their default settings gets Plasma and Gnome running Wayland by default.

    It has been on unstable since Arch had it. Unstable is just mirroring Arch repos. So it wouldn't give you any idea of when the update will reach stable.

    are you really bitching about informed people providing you sound advise on how to solve your issue? wow.

    "I really wish Windows would let me do this one specific thing"

    "Have you tried switching out your OS for a completely different one with its own set of limitations and work flows"

    Sound advice!

    Videos show Chicago police fired nearly 100 shots over 41 seconds during fatal traffic stop

    It seems like one of them was marked, but I can't tell if that vest had the same text on the front from the video.

    End of the day he was a criminal doing criminal things who shot a cop first.

    I mostly agree with this, but still, there's some room to doubt that he knew they were cops.

    Doesn’t matter the reason they used

    It doesn't matter, but you're kind of avoiding the things that matter here. The other texts I highlighted show that he couldn't have known that they're actually police officers (I am assuming your rules don't apply to gangs) so he had no reason (according to this article) to comply.

    When you can't tell that someone is a cop, the "rules" for handling a cop don't matter to you.

    Plainclothes Chicago police officers fired nearly 100 gunshots over 41 seconds during a traffic stop that left one man dead and one officer injured

    Five officers from a tactical unit who were in an unmarked police vehicle surrounded an SUV last month driven by Dexter Reed, allegedly for failing to wear a seatbelt.

    Does anyone has a Ubuntu --> Manjaro transition guide
  • Limitless_screaming Limitless_screaming 8mo ago 100%

    How does pacman work compared to apt-get ? and how to find in which package an command lies. I struggled a bit to get lsinput (to configure a rudder pedal for flight sim)

    Manjaro has Pamac installed out of the box. Its commands are much more readable:

    Install: pamac install {software} Remove: pamac remove {software} Update: pamac update. You can just run man pamac and read that, it's concise and self explanatory.

    You can also use Pamac-gtk (the GUI app-store). I recommend the GTK4 version. Just run sudo pamac install pamac-gtk it will prompt you to replace pamac-gtk3.

    You can enable the AUR by opening the GUI store (it will be called "add/remove software" in the app menu) > three dot menu > preferences (will prompt for password) > third party > Enable AUR support.

    Only use the AUR as a last resort; check if the app is on flathub first, then the official repos, and finally check the AUR. You can add flatpak support by installing the flatpak package and the libpamac-flatpak-plugin optional dependency.

    If you want updates to be as fast as they'd be on Arch you can switch to the unstable branch, and now you can't blame Manjaro for your AUR problems.

    and how to find in which package an command lies.

    I am not sure what this means, but if you meant how to check what commands a package provides, then you can search for the package in the app-store and scroll down to "provides" everything under that section is commands the package provides.

    I am struggling a bit with Zsh, like I ended up starting bash to configure an environment variable, any ressources on-it. Or shall I simply change my setting (and how) to use bash that I know a bit.

    You can edit the ~/.zshrc file to add your aliases and permanent environment variables.

    On Arch based distros you can also add environment variables in the /lib/environment.d file as KEY=value, for setting firefox to use Wayland for example.

    If you want to switch from ZSH to BASH here's how.

    Kbin magazine's image is squished. Not a CSS issue.

    Before the latest kbin UI refresh there was an issue where the magazine logo's aspect ratio was altered and the pictures looked squished, but that was easy to fix using some CSS. But now after the latest update the issue is in the image element itself; so now the logo for my magazine which I uploaded as 600x600 is served as 500x600 and then resized using CSS to 260x260. Nearly all magazines I've visited have this problem. [picture showing the issue](https://imgur.com/B7Fl5CB)
