I think Inkscape 1.4 doesn’t bring any fancy features, but rather makes what already works better. The inconspicous releases are just as important.

While I use river as daily driver and am very happy with it, I feel people who like Hyprland will find river to be rather limited and barren in terms of looks and availability of plugins.

Does it support any DE other than Gnome? For the rest, looks cool!

Sadly, not officially (atm). I think you need to use a custom image and I don’t know how well those work.

Governance leaves a lot to be desired.

Genuine question from somebody who’s out of the loop and doesn’t use NixOS: How does this affect your day to day using the distro?

Don’t they just show a life that many people wish they could live? Those influencers are usually very good looking, drive nice cars, wear designer clothes and go on lavish holidays.

Seeing a normal/non-famous person have it makes it more believable that one day you’ll have that life as well.

Either that, or it’s just horniness meets para social relationship 🤷‍♂️

I’ve heard good things about VanillaOS. Not used it myself though.

With their package manager apx, you can use software from pretty much any distro in VanillaOS (copied from link above):

Apx is a tool that allows you to generate work environments based on any Linux distribution and seamlessly integrates them with the system in a convenient way …

You will also know nothing and be happy.

Ignorance is bliss after all

You’re welcome. I’ve been using it as my daily driver for over a year now and it works for that, but don’t expect any bells and whistles.

I think the biggest difference is dynamic (river) vs manual tiling (sway). Other than that, I feel sway is much more mature and there’s a proper community surrounding it that had written scripts and tools that work with sway. Many of which you are probably gonna use with river as well (swaylock, swaybg, swayidle).

One thing that’s pretty cool about river (at least in theory) is that the tiling algorithm is not part of the compositor itself. Instead, you can run any river tiling program and have that part be completely custom if you wish. Also configuration is done via commands instead of a config language (you usually run a bash script at start).

From what I remember, the vision of Isaac Freund (main developer) is, that river will become more of a tiling compositor base, that others can then use to create their own distributions. I heard that in some talk he gave. You should be able to find that on YouTube.

However, there’s still a long way to go.

In it’s current state, river reminds me of spectrwm. Very simple, with some cool, but ultimately non-essential, ideas that you probably won’t find anywhere else.

Many men lose sensation over the course of their life. Circumcised men seem to be affected by this much more severeley (anecdotal experience).

I’m in my mid thirties, circumcised at birth, and feel virtually nothing on my glans. Any form of intimacy that involves my dick is more of a chore than anything else. And no, the problem is not that I wank too often or have some unhealthy porn consumption (pretty much non-existent).

Do you think it’s okay to burn a clitoris if the girl hasn’t had sex before? Can we blind babies because they will never know what they have lost?

Can we violate anyone’s bodily autonomy as long as they will not remember what life was like before the violation?
