@Normandy If you have specific applications which don't cooperate with dark themes, you can copy their .desktop file to ~/.local/share/applications and add "env GTK_THEME=<any gtk theme>" to their exec line.

That will overwrite your GTK theme only for that application.

I use it for Firefox, because with dark themes it likes to color some of the page elements dark even though they shouldn't be.

@joel My IT job already has become hell. Now I just want a job where I need to touch as little Windows as possible. But sadly that's almost impossible to find outside of hardcore locations like datacenters (Which there aren't particularly many of in Norway anyways)

Gonna try running Void with Mate again. I'm still not sure if I prefer mate or xfce.

@potatosoryu is good sex

@_HellPie I don't think the RPi uses U-boot though. I believe it uses some other weird thing that I don't know the name of

@_HellPie U-boot is one of the largest problems we need to kill though. It's overly messy to set up if there aren't official images for your sbc

@_HellPie I know they don't really provide any official means, but I've heard only the Pi 3 could do it.

Also it's pretty useless since I don't really think you can do it unless you've put an OS on the card already to begin with.

I'm still waiting for my Khadas Vim2 btw. Tracking says it left China 5 days ago, so my guess is I'll have it in about one more week

But it's generally a pain in the ass to put a distro on an SBC if they don't have images for it. I still wish I could just install it off a USB stick like I do on x86 computers. Heck, even a Gentoo/Arch-like setup would be fine if only they'd boot off USB and let me chroot. But most of them only boot off their MicroSD.

I think the Pi3 can boot off USB though, but no other models

That said I did manage to boot Void Linux on an Orange Pi by dumping the rootfs on it and stealing a kernel/uboot from armbian

I just can't uboot for shit. And even if I could. Most the ARM stuff either comes as a rootfs with no kernel. Or it's an image specifically designed for one particular SBC and it'll shit itself if you try to put it on any other SBC.

i hope one day UEFI on single board computers will be common

If they can boot from USB with UEFI, maybe it's possible to get some live USB, then just chroot into the EMMC, put a rootfs there and snag a linux kernel using some package manager and finally throw grub on there

>tfw the khadas vim supposedly has UEFI support already but my khadas vim2 is still "in development" as far as I can tell

I don't even know if there's any distros that provide install images for arm though, not sure if UEFI helps much

@angristan you see what i mean when I complain about how fucking overkill all these solutions are now.

I've been quite happy with nixstats so far

@angristan More like one of the drawbacks of crappily designed webpages

@angristan The worst is stuff where the tracking scripts block other scripts from loading.

There's this one price comparison site here that has a search bar. And it takes like 100 seconds for it to start working with pi-hole because all the tracking scripts have to time out before it loads the script for the search bar

@ftw ah yeah, that's a classic one

i’m starting to think they aren’t being ironic...
