Gotcha, fair enough! I run Arch with Gnome on my desktop gaming rig for similar reason, I just wanted a normal DE that I didn’t have to tweak much. Laptop is where I have Sway/Waybar and experiment with different window managers and such.

Damn some of you guys are creative! I’m fairly satisfied with my setup, but its pretty basic.

Why’d you switch from i3? If it was for Wayland support, in case you didn’t know, the Sway window manager is basically a drop-in replacement for i3, but for Wayland rather than X11. You can literally copy/paste your i3 config into ~/.config/sway/ and it will only need a few minor tweaks to get fully working!

I just made the switch this past week. The one caveat is Polybar doesn’t work correctly with Sway, so I had to configure Waybar instead. Waybar has some cool features though, like being able to place the tray anywhere you want, so it was worth the effort to switch.

There, I just gave you 2 ways to turn that arcane terminal ritualism in ancient enochian that only veteran sysadmins know, into a plain english service manual that any literate human being can use to figure out basically any terminal application ever.

Worth noting OP: port 80 is HTTP, and port 443 is HTTPS

i3 on my laptop, gnome on my gaming rig (cuz wayland)

Consumerist pigs don’t care about literally anything past their own consumption and comforts.

This is amazing, thank you!

This is amazing! Thank you!

Since the blackout, I’ve only visited Reddit to rip off content for my own Lemmy community, and to vote in this poll lol

Yanno, just in case you wanna get your hands dirty, here’s a list of things you can Google. Listed in order of importance (imo).

Thank you! Ill keep that in mind!

I have a Synology DS220+, and it works great as a Plex server for my purposes!

I’m not a dev, but I do have SOME coding experience and have been wanting to help with some open source projects, if nothing else but for the experience. Rust has been on my “to learn” list for like a year now. I def have a lot to learn, but the best way to learn is to get your hands dirty. I’ll take a look at the Github page and see if there’s any low-hanging fruit I can try to tackle lol

EDIT: I’m pretty sure I can help with some of these. My coding skills are out of practice, and idk any Rust yet, but I’m a fast learner. Currently learning how to use git to fork a repo, add code, and create a PR, then I’ll go learn some Rust syntax and get to work! I’m actually really excited! I’ve been wanting to figure out how to contribute to FOSS projects since I started daily driving Arch Linux like a year ago, and this is a great opporunity for me to learn!

If anyone has any development tips for a noob like me, let me know! I’m going in pretty blind here, so any advice is appreciated!
