Newbie: Hello world!

Hello Rocky people.

I’m new here migrating my main workstation from Manjaro (previously Debian, and before that CentOS and before that Mandrake haha) I primarily use it for Video Editing (Resolve Studio). I also like building Android and LineageOS on my workstation.

I enjoy breaking my OS by building packages from source occasionally when I cannot find them maintained on the repos and then never updating them / resulting in broken dependencies and broken package managers. It’s a lot of fun over the last 23-24 years for sure (o:

I will be asking some questions as I am having trouble getting a Qt5 app to build and unsure how to setup a build environment for android (Rocky 9 is like wtf is this apt-get nonsense? lol). I have some limited experience with yum from CentOS 4 days and a tiny bit from QubesOS (on my laptop mainly, although I did try it in the past on my desktop but it doesn’t hand-off android devices properly for android foolery, which stopped me). My point being I have been introduced to dnf and yum and have already added 3rd party repos for nvidia and steam to install.

I was going to jump on the CentOS train again a while back but needed the bleeding edge stuff for a while and wanted to see what all the hype was about with the AUR and pacman (2018 till now). I see that most people that want a working linux environment for resolve are moving to rocky, so here I am.

wave Hieeeeeeee!
