Not OP, but can only speak from my experience: Installing a second WM/DE usually messes up my install, as quite some stuff is just from one GUI framework, so I don’t have to have to much stuff installed.
Also getting rid of it afterwards always wasn’t as easily possible.

I completely get trying out a WM y firing up a VM. You could even just boot the live USB stick to check it out.
But changing my working install just to try something (and then have to clean it up again) wasn’t working out for me in the past

I’m also happily running Manjaro on my new Framework 16.
Even the fingerprint sensor works fine - although I’ll still need to tune LightDM a bit, so I don’t have to press enter.

Do you have any tips what you have done further or any resources?

At first the WiFi wasn’t working and is still a bit unstable - like isn’t available as interface after booting and I need to toggle flight mode.
But it seems a newer kernel (6.10.6-10) mostly fixed it.

Also sometimes coreboot seems to take some time. But only every 10 boots or something.

Happens to everyone

Just having a multitude of terminals open with a mix of test environment and (just for comparison) an open connection to the production servers…

We were at a fair/exhibition once and on the first day people working on an actual customer project asked us, if they could compare with our code.
Obviously they flashed the wrong PLC and we were stuck dead at the first hours of the exhibition.
I still think that this place was cursed, as we also had to do multiple re-soldering of some connections of our robot and the sherry on top was the system flash dying - where I had fucked up, because I just finished everything late at night and didn’t made a complete backup of everything.
But it seems, if luck runs out, you lose on all fronts.

At least I was able to restore everything in 20mins. Which must be some kind of record.
But I was shaking so much from the stress, that I couldn’t efficiently type anymore and was lucky to have a colleague to just calmly enter what I told him to and with that we’re able to get the show case up and running again.

Well, at least the beer afterwards tasted like the liquid of the gods

Never touch a running system

Nevertheless, I’m panicking every time I update my sever infrastructure…

Signal doesn’t provide such open and easily found chat rooms.
It’s really much more a messenger (with group chats, but those you have to manually set up)

So it’s not an “open” place like telegram and with that not as attractive for advertising illicit services or products.

besides that, Signal is the technically much more secure variant. No discussion about it.

Well, luckily all just had a talk and some tea about it and nobody died

I own the apartment and even a parking place, that’s my own. but just doing the cableing will cost me a few thousand Euros.
And I’m one of the lucky ones who don’t need to search through public parking slots.

Not everyone has a house…

I’m living in an apartment and charging at home is not an option. I do have a EV though and when we take a larger trip, I need to plan a bit more to charge up before the trip.
That sucks a bit, else it’s pretty great

I’m not a fucking communist, you stupid bigot

ROFL, yeah, because idiot America is so afraid of a social system and just half arse those institutions and get pressured to include it in the imperial capitalist system this fucking idiot Friedman is so proud of - although it obviously doesn’t work

There were quite recent news about books being forbidden in public libraries for teenagers. So, how it’s the library pushing LGBTQ on children, if they just provide books for interested kids?
Removing information never works. This seems to be a quite fascist approach in my opinion

Regarding the finance stuff:
so you can choose between cooperate right and banking “left”?
How do bankers profit from a social system?

Edit: and to add, how the fuck is an educational book for teenagers filth? Oo

So the left wing is anti abortion and pro book ban?

That doesn’t match with anything I’ve heard. Conservatives are banning books, because they seem to think books about LGBTQ will make their kids gay

Following my original definition, you sound kinda woke

Edit: and left wing is somehow in bed with bankers? Either I have a completely wrong picture of your country or you are very confused

Ah, and I need to add that America doesn’t have a relevant political left wing. Everything is at maximum center or right wing. At least compared to Europe (and other countries)

But the only ones, I’ve read about, banning things, because they find it offensive (like books) are conservatives again.
How are they on a different side?

Thanks, will look into it :-)

So just for my understanding as I’m not a native English speaker, the whole Trump shit and follower are regarded woke?

Edit: so, if I got this right (at least that makes the most sense to me), woke are people believing in conspiracy theories and think all others are sheeple?
Like for example all the idiots using e.g. bleach and ivermectin to “cure” it, say masks don’t help and everything is a hoax.

Is this right?

What the fuck is Woke?

Lights in shoes that blink at each step were all the hype in my childhood

Thank you very much for those insights!!

Would you give your perspective anyway, as I would be quite interested, although I’m not the one you talked to?
