who needs a desktop environment? a simple wm is quite adequate for most linux purposes, it doesn't take a point and drool gnome to flip between xterms and emacs frames

Gazpacho posted:what is this, why is someone tagging strings with x to compare them in a bash script it's a cargo-cult practice you'll see a lot in bad scripts. i guess some shell once had a bug where empty variables caused a syntax error even if you quoted them or something? in any case it's unnecessary in that instance and whoever wrote that did not understand why they were doing it any more than you did.

I have a sun keyboard with separate alt and meta keys. it's basically impossible to get linux to recognise them though because some fucker broke xmodmap and the "replacement", xkbset, is cadt bullshit and only supports a handful of predetermined configurations i expect it's theoretically possible to add more but lol if you think anything written since 1994 is ever going to be adequately documented so linux calls the meta key super now and it annoys the gently caress out of me for a few minutes every time I notice and then I get over it

no. the central configuration was always there. what xmodmap did was to empower the user to fix things themselves if they wanted to.

since there's a tangential link to systemd, i'm gonna blame poettering again. debian and linux in general were doing just fine before he came along with his dumb ideas like "hurf durf what if we tried to make this into an os normal people would want to use"
