I tried installing Guix System maybe about a year ago, but had problems with LVM on LUKS with full-disk encryption and missing and outdated documentation. Has this situation changed?
Question from a welfare country and complete ignorance: what exactly are the steps necessary to change this and why is it so difficult for the USA to take them?
Before I got my Happy Hacking I had both control and escape on caps lock, but with HH, I have no problem using the default escape, which is closer there than on regular keyboards.
I tried Matrix a few months ago, but the clients were pretty horrible compared to irssi. The only functional one was the ugly GUI one with emojis and all that.
I was assuming they have something equivalent to the Intel Management Engine. Do they not?
> Isn't any hardware a "potential" hardware backdoor?
I don't know. Is this true of open hardware? I mean, there could be a backdoor, but it would also be practically possible for qualified people to find it, right?
but I'd be delighted to see a happy-hacking style layout, where the arrow
keys are consigned to the fn layer (which should be configurable; the whole
keyboard could be configurable by qmk). It would also be nice to see an option
where the trackpad is replaced by a foldable joystick. Maybe this way
one could get rid of the split (arrow) key and the short f keys and the
short escape. Think of the vi users.
It may be that the generic masculine bears witness of an historical injustice, but so what? A trace of an injustice is not a continuation of it. A language should be capable of expressing things simply and elegantly; it oughtn't to be burdened with the need constantly to manifest some orthodoxy.
I recently bought a Wacom tablet, but didn't install any drivers except those
that are in the free-software repository of Void Linux, which I suppose don't
do this. I wish it were easier in general, though, to find out whether
hardware requires proprietary software to function. For example, I'd like to
get a document scanner, but, since I don't know of any model that can run on
free software, I just do without.
