    If I recall correctly the script that goes to desktop mode explicitly starts plasma. Though I think they want to change that behaviour in SteamOS 3.8 or 3.9 to be more generic.

    The trouble is that on every update all the changes you did to system files would be removed.

    So you’d have to install Niri to your home directory and change the scripts that launch it with every update. Nothing impossible just a little bit annoying.

    I haven’t tried that exactly, but I put OpenSUSE Tumbleweed on mine. I think installing a mainline distribution is the first step you have to overcome to run a different desktop environment on the Deck.

    The biggest hurdle will be that you will need custom drivers or maybe even a custom kernel. Because not all necessary drivers have been upstreamed yet. This is especially necessary on the OLED version, as far as I know.

    If you go that route https://gitlab.com/evlaV will be your best friend to find everything you need. And Bazzite probably as well. Maybe you can even run Niri/Noctalia on Bazzite. That would probably be the easiest. Or maybe CachyOS has a Steam Deck build.




  • rspamd is used nowadays. Add sieve filtering to automatically move mails with a 7.0 or higher to a spam-folder. Manually move mails there that haven’t been detected and move mails out of the spam folder that have been falsely detected (personally don’t have any false positives with rspamd).

    Then set up bayes learning with rspamd, either when mails are moved between folders or every few hours.














  • Honestly, that’s what most web API’s are. You are just pushing data around. The “hard” part is that everyone has their own opinions on how it should be formatted.

    And of course the minor inconvenience of having to give the user a way to make data entry easy, convenient and consistent.

    But deep down it’s all spreadsheets. The faster you can wrap your head around that the easier programming is for you.



  • I’ve got a really obscure one.

    Anyone here heard about FLI4L? Floppy ISDN for Linux? Built from the ground up to be usable on your really old PC as a router. Originally it fit on a single floppy disc and was able to turn a 386 into a modem or ISDN router. Later they added the ability to route between LANs and DSL.

    By now the requirements have been raised to super beefy 586 PCs. It probably doesn’t fit on a floppy disc anymore.
