Can’t you change to a normal user with become? We do lots of stuff with Ansible as normal user. You should be able to create tasks that get executed as normal user and install yay and run makepkg, and then run yay to install packages.

It won’t mess with anything, but it does require to be set up on every pc you want to use it.

It’s relevant because it’s there. If you don’t play those parts it doesn’t mean it’s there. They put the time in other things more important to the game than transitions. Also, the engine is completely different.

Debian does use systemd, but what’s so bad about it? I’m just curious, I’m using Arch with KDE, and that also uses systemd. Never had any issues with it. Debian doesn’t use snap by default though.

It’s a great distro to learn a lot about Linux. I challenged myself to install it on my Surface Go 2, and make it usable as a tablet, as well as make it boot with secure boot and more. Now it’s happily running Arch with KDE, using the linux-surface kernel signed with my own secure boot key and a pacman hook that signs that kernel after every update. I learned all of this acompanied by a lot of fuckups and reinstalls, until I was able to fix things after breaking them instead of starting from scratch.

That’s not an answer to the question. Anyway, does Hyprland support touch? I’ve briefly tried it, but out of the box it’s really unusable on a tablet. I’m looking for a tiling window manager that does support touch, including an on screen keyboard. For now I use KDE which supports touchscreens very well.

I’m the same, I love using the cli for many things, but it’s just no go on my Surface Go 2 if I want to use it as a tablet. I’m using KDE Plasma on Arch Linux, and it’s pretty awesome in terms of touchscreen support. I also tried Gnome, but it has a nasty backspace issue in the on screen keyboard. When you use backspace it’s like you press the left arrow key and then backspace, leaving half of the characters. Otherwise it’s great.

It takes some time to get everything working right though. I didn’t know how to get the on screen keyboard to work (Maliit), which is pretty important if you plan to use it on a tablet.

Another important thing is to use Wayland, as that greatly improves touchscreen support over Xorg.

So personally I’d suggest KDE, but Gnome is also really good if you don’t mind the backspace issue. Or am I missing something that would fix that?

So I managed to solve it. After searching around, many posts pointed to removing the xdg-desktop-portal-gnome package, which would help for other issues as well. This didn’t work for me though.

It turned out I had to remove the ~/.local/share/flatpak/db/documents file. After that I could copy files again. Now on to the next issue where the linux-surface kernel doesn’t get signed with my own MOK after the kernel gets updated.

I hope they’ll ever fix the backspace issue for the on screen keyboard.
