You may be interested in reading this post about the process of packaging Steam.

tl;dr: It’s mostly an annoyance reserved for packagers to deal with. Dynamically linked executables can be patched in a fairly universal fashion to work without FHS, so that’s the go-to approach. If the executable is statically linked, the package may have to ship a source patch instead. If the executable is statically linked & close-source, the packagers are forced to resort to simulating an FHS environment via chroot.

If you hate job boards then you need to find individual company “Careers” pages and go from there.

How you go about this varies a lot by skillset and industry, but I’ll just throw out a random example: lots of Linux jobs exist in the DevOps space (think Kubernetes, Ansible, Chef, NixOps). It just so happens that lots of medium-sized software companies need DevOps people, so you can pretty easily find companies looking for DevOps hires just by browsing Y Combinator’s Startup Directory

With that being said, I get the impression from the way your post is worded that you’re looking to break into a new career without having yet established a concrete plan. My advice would be to step back and consider specific options first. Almost all jobs like these require industry-specific certifications (e.g.: CompTIA, ITIL, AWS, Azure, Cisco, etc.). You need to look at your options, pick a certification, earn it, then go job hunting. Certifications are great for securing entry level jobs and the standards body issuing these will often provide an online directory of partner companies who are currently hiring.

You’ll understand when you’re older, son

Ugh… they got Plasma everywhere!

You the real MVP 👑

This was, without any doubt, a prophetic dream. The apocalypse will soon be upon us! Be wary of the four horsemen: Ronald, King, Wendy, and… Chihuahua

Try Satty? It’s inspired by flameshot, Wayland native, and written in Rust.

Still waiting for git good unfortunately 😔

I’ll have uhh… a #9 double democracy supreme, with cheese

Sugarcoating pills is fairly common, especially for pills which are frequently ingested or target older demographics. It’s because sugar coatings are much gentler on the esophagus (i.e.: less likely to cause esophagitis, “pill burn”). Advil (i.e.: ibuprofen) is a cheap, well tolerated, and non habit-forming pain reliever – it’s about as safe as such a thing could possibly be, so hopefully that helps to explain why a sugar coating might be warranted given the aforementioned upsides (for the love of all that is holy; always read the directions on the label, it’s still quite possible that Advil is not safe for you specifically). FWIW: the bottles also have childproofing mechanisms built into the caps (… at least in U.S. markets. Not sure about elsewhere?)

Watch out I saw these guys about to show up at your inbox

No, but now that you mention it that would be a pretty plausible thing to have happen. Just grabbing hold of a random armchair analysis and then repeating it ad nauseum until it transforms into an irony-poisoned meme totem… you’ve really gotten my hopes up now!

I am of two minds:

1. He’s not wrong
2. It doesn’t matter at this point

It’s a mess, but honestly so are a lot of critical FOSS projects (e.g.: OpenSSH, GNUPG, sudo). Curmudgeons gonna curmudgeon. There was a point of no return and that was years ago – now that Wayland’s finally becoming useable despite itself it’s probably time to come to terms with the fact that better alternatives would have arisen had anyone thought they could truly manage it.

95% of the time he plays the straight-man and then the other 5% of the time he behaves like an unhinged lunatic. It’s the perfect recipe for cultivating an audience of viewers who love to torment him with his own words. After that it’s just one step further to put words he didn’t say into his mouth and see how he reacts to getting gaslit.

I make it sound like a cynical ploy but really this kind of thing is just intrinsically tied to Jerma’s online personality. Lightning in a bottle. If you ask me the most impressive part’s actually how he manages to stay in control of the situation and not get totally swallowed up by the increasingly bizzare behavior of his viewership.

Hmm… what’s the purpose of loading amdgpu at all if you’re using an NVIDIA card? Optimus?

Your best bet is probably figuring out why the graphical session isn’t working and then going from there. Since you’re on NixOS odds are all the logs you need are right there in journald.

Worst case scenario: you might need to pin your system nixpkgs to ~January 2021 until the issue sorts itself out. You can still install newer userland packages if you separately manage them as a flake (this is a common and well-supported pattern in home-manager)

EDIT: found a discussion with good configuration.nix examples for pinning the system nixpkgs. Once you find a workable pin you could also try inching it up to get a better idea of what broke (January 2021 is a good starting point because it’s the last month before 5.11 released, a newer pin is very likely possible)

Still no free blowjobs!

“He who smelt it dealt it, and I am no blacksmith good sir”

I’d say that’s already becoming the case in a few places. Hyprland isn’t just “Wayland good”, it’s “You should use Wayland good”.

Yes, I know the devs behind it act like pissants. That’s bad and I’m sorry for liking their software. I use Emacs too and RMS was kind of an asshole. Hell, I use Lemmy even though one of the devs has slighted me on more than one occasion.
