Oookay? You do you.

@AndrasDeak That probably sounded more unfriendly than intended. But I'm really not interested in discussing the advantages and disadvantages of package management systems. There is plenty of that on the net.

What if every point in the debate was a one-liner?

Hello, I am having a problem where my xorg needs two tries to work

it works on its own but the first try it says it can't find any screens

and then it tries again like 5 seconds later and it works

Sounds like you found the solution! :)

I did?

I'd like it to work on the first try always

@Ladiesandgentlemen pelase post a question on the site. That way, you can give us the relevant information and we don't need to ask for each detail in chat. Make sure to include: i) your operating system, if Linux also which one, ii) how you log in (over ssh? With a graphical login manager? Command line?) iii) how you start xorg (do you use xinit or startx? Does your GUI login manager log you into an xorg session directly?) and iv) any errors or messages you get.

thanks

although now I'm facing a different problem, chromium tries to use wayland

Oh

apparently in the past I added a flag in a file

my bad

U&L: some of the best rubber duck debuggers around!

what is U&L ?

unix & linux (stackexchange)

ooh, very nice ty

and rubber duck debugging is en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_duck_debugging

oh

so sometimes when you explain something to people it triggers u to find the bug?

yes

Imagine the "gru's plan" meme. In the first three panels you explain what the code is doing. In the fourh panel you realise why it doesn't work.

Oh I found a solution by adding sleep 1 before startx

although that seems kind of janky

but adding that sleep 1 definitely cuts down boot time by like 15 seconds
