You’re not yet thinking with portals ;)

“buggy” is not a word I would use, as it’s not even a game yet, just a dev sandbox and tech demo. But it’s been pretty good on development pace and already delivered pretty nice stuff

If you are planning on running Arch “without touching the terminal”, you’re going to have a bad time

[citation needed]

Gating would be up to every application, systemd just provides an interface/standard location for them to query

Maybe the one lagging behind had its package updated but still has a running daemon on the old version?

I would be hopeful if this wasn’t up to the US justice system

It is. CALEA has been around for a long time, and it’s surprising to me not many people are aware of it

Nvidia is a Slop in the Ass

Fixed

The Caps Lock LED being unresponsive is a good indicator the CPU is locked up hard. USB keyboards don’t send interrupts like PS/2 so the bar for operation is slightly higher, but it still signals something is very wrong with the system

Does your machine have a PS/2 port by chance? That should give you magic keys when USB keyboards won’t.

Does the previous boot log show normal or error lines when it happens?

This is cool, but why the hell is it published by the straits times? Lol

What do you see as its advantage(s) over other Arch derivatives?

Testing if the current shell can execute something does not require looking at the installed packages, there are portable ways to do that

whereis is not a Bash built-in so it may itself not be installed, plus it exits 0 and returns output even on no match requiring additional logic/processing. which or command are more robust choices for this usecase

You can test if a command exists in several ways, but the most portable one should be using command -v which is POSIX.

if command -v playerctl &> /dev/null
  # do things
else
  # warn and exit (or prompt for installation)
end

Yep, start from there, I would also like to point out that in the newly released Plasma 6.6 you can save your current settings as a global theme, so you also have that starting point.

Shit are URLs esoteric knowledge now?
