[SLUG] Meeting Tonight: 09-18-2024

[Mr. Tuttle]

We have a SLUG meeting tonight!  It's an informal one so I'd like to know where would you like to go?

I have been enjoying the meetings at Remedy Brewing Company at their downtown location.  If anyone wants to do something different, let us know.

If the plans don't change, I'll see you at 6:00 at Remedy at 8th and Railroad.

[Jackson Murtha]

I'll join at remedy

I'm actually already here, hanging out on the patio and dinking around on my laptop.  Feel free to come find (I'm probably the only one using a laptop) and drag me inside if you prefer to be in there.  Or just leave me out here alone for forever.  Your choice.

Anyone here ever gone through Linux From Scratch or even BLFS? I wish
I could go tonight but allergies man...

My question is mostly Xorg or Wayland? Which path to choose?

In addition, on my other laptop (FW13-AMD-7840u), I have Ubuntu as
recommended by Epic Games UE5 to try and see if it is a better
experience than Windows. After 10 years of Windows-based UE4/UE5,
this is a new adventure for me.

Take care guys!

I've done LFS.  It's been... almost 20 years, though... so most of those neurons have been garbage-collected by now.

 

My question is mostly Xorg or Wayland?  Which path to choose?

I, for one, have been a wayland fanboy since way before it was viable.  I support it irrationally, but in my experience it comes preconfigured fairly well on recent ubuntu installs and I don't really game and I run mostly intel builtin hardware, so my experience doesn't match many others'.

Done both, about as long ago. 

X is going to be more “LFS-ey” and will improve your knowledge in the space to where you’ll be better able to appreciate the complexity and nuance of Wayland. LFS isn’t going to be your daily driver for long, but it was the single most informative OS project I ever did and I give you props for doing it.

I haven’t done LFS, but I was a big gentoo head for awhile, that was also probably about 20 years ago. I don’t know how much it has changed since then but at the time it was a pretty manual installation and the documentation was the best around. It gave me an immense knowledge of how GNU/Linux worked. Be patient, and realize that LFS is a good learning platform but not good for production use and staying on top of security patches.

Thanks, I should be clear, I have LFS already booted and working with
networking and what not. It is based on systemd and UEFI, no secure
boot yet though but I have a MOK to sign my "normal" kernel builds.

I'm just curious if I should try Xorg or Wayland for doing a Graphics
Environment on top of my current working LFS.
