I should be testing more.

Feels bad man

Whenever I install a package, I cringe at the amount of dependencies, even if it's a few. I know that developers can write code easier with dependencies, but the user should be the first priority.

It doesn't have multi-window support, can't do screenshare, etc.

At least there is a Linux version, unlike Skype for Business.

Incomplete lines are evil.

Since reddit has changed the site to value selling user data higher than reading and commenting, I've decided to move elsewhere to a site that prioritizes community over profit. I never signed up for this, but that's the circle of life

If that looks nice, then I look nice too. (It's More of a foss world perk.)

I see introductions to things like NomadBSD, and I'm really tempted to try them. But I do use Steam and Proton on Linux (forgive me, for I have sinned) and I might be spoiled by the number of games I get to run these days, many of them not "officially" supported even on Linux.

I have a Mac, Windows, and two Linux machines. The Mac and Windows are taking forever to update, but the Linux machines are fine, so I can't use it as an excuse to not work. #fossworldproblems

Some people use the 64bit versions, some use the 32bit versions, and some people commit their object files.

Ever worked with fontforge? It sure is a very capable application - if you are an expert. I usually manage to break the font on exporting, get "glyph intersection" problems and eventually freeze my laptop.

It's my fault, since I could invest time to properly learn it. The other me just wants a WYSIWYG app for dummies.

I am wanting to be able to make packages from source code. I have tried the Debian foums and they have not been of any use. I am looking for help in how to do this. As for my experiance with source code it is not much. I have compiled three programs for linux. I have used source compiles on package managers for OSX. So it is not much. As for why it is because the distro I am using does not have many packages. I am looking mostly for updates to packages, drivers, and games that mostly are emulators.

The distro I am using is Debian BSD 8. Debain made a BSD version that lasted up to Jessie aka Debian 8. I found the latest version to be Debian 8 BSD RC 3 for both 32bit and 64bit. The defualt repo's that come with the ISO's don't work. That means you have to use the ones on the web site. Out side of the ones on the one Debian mirrors page no other mirrors or repos work. I tried the multimida repos and it does not work. I tried to use ppa's and none of those work ether.

I know that there are no other repo's exist out here do to the changes made by Debian/kfreebsd 8 Jessie. I tried the ppa scr method and it did not work. Then I dried using Gdebi and it does not work ether. This is because it is based on K/freebsd and there are changes. While the architechure is for the x86 cpu becuase of these debs and binarys don't work.

For example I like to be able to update XFCE to version 4.12. The latest version is 4.13 and 4.14 and they are only for Ubuntu 18.04/Debiain 9. I have used 4.12 on Ubuntu 16.04 and it is quite nice. The main issue is that this verson on Debian BSD 8 is super out of date and could be causing some GTK issues I am having with some of the programs I want to install.

I am using Linux Mint 18 as my main system. The reason is it just works right now. I tried Debian BSD 8 on my laptop. While it boots it does not finish installing. This is because the system uses the kernel of FreeBSD 10. The current version of FreeBSD is version 12. The laptop is HPStream PC that came out in 2014. It works on Linux Mint 17.2 and 17.3, but not 17.1. It is most likly do to drivers. I wan't to be able to get the distro to run on my hardware. That is why building the kernel is some thing else on the list. I also need support for my Xbox 360 controler too. Also it would be nice if I could get the BFS driver or the GD-ROM driver from NetBSD.

I am also a gamer and I like emulators. There is VBA-gtk and Higan and nether of them work. VBA-gtk does not run at all. Higan does not have open gl support. I also use VBAm, mGBA, medusa, snes9x, gens-gs, kega-fusion, cen64-qt, m64.py, muppen-qt, ect. Most have debs for Ubuntu and I would like to get them working.

As for why I am doing it is because I am stuck. I am not liking where Linux is going at the moment. I also don't like how FreeBSD is going at right now. I am from the Linux Mint side of things as I just want things to work. That does not happen for me with linux or FreeBSD. I also LIKE the idea of a FreeBSD system that has an easy to use binary package installer that does not have to be reinstalled every two years. I don't care about the SystemD debate about how things should be done.

I don't have much experiance with compileing. Most things I have compiled ether are part of a package system or they use standard make files. I found out that many devs use this thing called cmake and that Debain users lover it. It is hard for me to understand. i want to be able to compile these programs and make them into deb files so I can ether host them or put them on a DVD. I am on Cmake 3.01 and most programs need at least cmake 3.1 and that means I have to update cmake and there is not update to camke in the repo.

I tried to do reasearch on using this program and all the videos are about cmake for programs, but not for compilers. MOST OF THE GUIDS ARE NOT FOR NORMAL PEOPLE.

I've been using the auto-scroll extension for at least 8 years now. I still can't uninstall it.

On the plus side, solved my audio problem. On the minus side, why the hell does broadcoms's built in pdm peripheral only produce unsigned output when the rest of the audio stack does signed?
