  • this coming from someone who used podman for years for hours for development every day.

    podman is cancer, it’s way better to use docker rootless.

    podman will break if you sneeze at it, and the only recourse you will find in github is to podman system reset which stinks of bad programming.

    docker rootless never breaks, podman may die if you cancel a download because the devs were either inexperienced or bad and instead of protecting the state with atomic filesystem operations they leave dirty files in working directories which make it fail in random and unexpected ways.

    You pay it by buying new hardware.

    My 2013 macbook pro with 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB SSD has been deprecated by apple so the latest OS it gets is Big Sur, it has now been barred from signing updates (since they require the latest XCode which I cannot get with Big Sur) so its only viable life is via Linux from now on.

    I have had to buy a Mac Mini with 8 GB of RAM and a 250 GB SSD to be able to upload updates for my iOS apps.

    I mean I can afford it, but yeah, we are paying for OS updates dude.

    That’s the reason they also updated their EULAs to set a minimum renting period of 24hs for providers like Amazon and MacStadium. They want you buying hardware, they don’t want to leave any easy way out.













  • this is not audio specific but just an FYI, reinstalling does nothing on an updated system unless the program files were corrupted somehow, which is not normal.

    to really reinstall a program from scratch you have to use apt-get purge or apt purge to ensure that global configurations files are removed, and pay attention to the logs printed out because some files may not be removed.

    then, you have to manually delete your user configuration files for those programs, or create a new user un your computer to test it out first to see if user config files are generating any troubles.

    just test it out.

    some setups will work fine with wayland and some will work better with xorg.

    there are of course ways solve those issues, but it’s easier to test both and use the one that works best for you.

    wayland is the future, but the present is whatever works best for you.
