also clear (and most other distros) use gnome by default but gnome sucks rear end. it uses a bunch of desktop conventions you won't be familiar with because nothing else works that way (because it's stupid and sucks). you want to install kde and yes it is incredibly customizable but if you are capable of not fiddling with the settings then it's completely fine to use with the defaults. adding a theme will likely switch poo poo (i.e. menu bars, start menu/launcher, taskbars etc.) around anyway you can install themes, cursors, sound packs etc. straight from the control panel e: which is something you can't do with gnome. gnome is not very customizable at all, so you'll basically be stuck with its defaults unless you feel like editing a bunch of files manually and manually downloading and installing janky extensions that may or may not work with that specific point release (i.e. it's a crapshoot. themes/extensions for say, gnome 3.4.2 [or whatever, idk what version of gnome is current b/c i don't care] sometimes won't work with 3.4.3, sometimes they will) Beeftweeter fucked around with this message at 16:32 on Apr 4, 2024 |

FAT32 SHAMER posted:I just want my window control on the left, as god intended with kde you can do that in the control panel, just slide them over to the left of course if you do you'll probably want a macos theme. almost all of those will add a bar to the top but it might not be what you expect, some just plop a taskbar there. so you can look in the widgets control panel (or just right click on a widget, properties, then "find more widgets") for a global menu you'll probably want to install latte-dock too then

also gnome can be configured to be more macos-like too but it's still garbage lol. the gnome panel isn't well suited to being a dock replacement but thats what you get

that was probably around kde 3. it had a real stupid design back then (and i switched to gnome for that reason too), but 5/plasma is much much better, the default theme is unique obviously but the paradigm is very similar to windows in comparison modern gnome just sucks

idk what sucks about gnome, it suits my needs pretty well. I do like the "everything is svg" thing in KDE tho which is why i picked it up the first time (svg is good)

I am building OpenWRT on a Rockchip RK3399 SoC. It has: 2x Cortex-A72 1.8 GHz performance cores 4x Cortex-A53 1.4 GHz low power cores What number should I use for make -jN ? Running nprocs says 6, but that seems suspect re. the ARM big.LITTLE architecture. Anyway, I'm doing some timing runs for N = 2, 4, 6 to see what's fastest. The system has 4 GB of RAM and NVME storage, so hopefully it's not i/o bound. Lol that you need 2 GB of RAM in your router to run the build env.

why build on the target directly? openwrt-the-project is pretty dang good about providing cross-compiler toolchains (or building from scratch if that's your thing), i build everything on x86_64 and target a bunch of different platforms

It's not the target. The target is a Qualcomm Atheros MIPS 24k SoC. Look, I have a lot of random ARM SoCs kicking around, and this is the Linux thread.

i'd try -j7. if it chugs do -j3 (isn't it supposed to be jobs = cpus + 1?) e: actually i'm not sure if doing e.g. -j3 (or even -j2) would limit it to the two a72 cores. i don't think you can control that Beeftweeter fucked around with this message at 19:58 on Apr 4, 2024 |
