Running Sway on Void Linux (without SystemD)

elogind is the part of SystemD logind that can run as standalone. So we need it to run Sway without SystemD. To do that we need to build wlroots with elogind option. Then we can install and use Sway as normal from the current repo. There are other ways to achieve this without elogind here. But I tried with the elogind option and I was successful.

UPDATE: I tried again on a fresh install. The elogind option is set by default on the repo version. So you can skip the xbps-src command below and continue. wlroots should install as a dependency of sway if you follow the later commands.

git clone git://github.com/void-linux/void-packages.git
cd void-packages
./xbps-src binary-bootstrap

How to Install LAMPP Stack on Debian/Ubuntu [Experimental]

Ubuntu is based on Debian so it should apply to Ubuntu as well. I have tested this on latest Debian Testing (on SparkyLinux). I usually use WordPress and CakePHP on my localhost so I included instructions at the end to make them work perfectly.

Warning: This config is not designed with security in mind, only for convenience of desktop users. If you are setting up for server, please refer to proper manuals.

Note: This config is experimental. There might be better way to do some aspects. But it does work for my specific needs so I made it available. Please use carefully.

How to install Linux Libre in Fedora

Fedora has the Linux kernel. This instruction is to install Linux Libre kernel which is a version of the Linux kernel with closed source binary blobs removed. This results in a Free-er system which respects your 4 essential freedoms. On Fedora, the linux libre kernel has the name "Freed-ora freedom".

I tried this on a Fedora 30 install.

WARNING: Although this gives you a libre kernel, it is possible that all components of your hardware does not work without binary blobs (e.g. wifi card, bluetooth). In that case those components will not work after installation. Please do not apply this on a production install before testing thoroughly and for prolonged period of time on a test install. Use these instructions at your own risk. Backing up is also recommended.

sudo -s
