IWF or networkmanager might be fucked so don't update just yet

I was on a NVMe + HDD (ntfs) setup on W11, now moved to dual boot with Linux on a second NVMe, can I just automount the HDD with zero risks? Purely for media write/reads, nothing funky. It's CachyOS if that matters.

>>105973677
Except Slackware!

I was given an 2011 iMac since it was lying around collecting dust.
- i5 processor
- 4GB ram (apparently this is painless to upgrade, unscrew bottom panel)
- 500GB hard disk drive (I would need suction cups to remove the display to upgrade this to an SSD)
- 512MB AMD graphics "card" but probably some sort of soldered component
- 1080p display (but very nice and crisp looking)
- Loud fan

What should I do with it? I'm obviously going to install Linux on it, but I'm not sure beyond that. Basically, I see it as a small but nice monitor that doesn't play well with other devices.

Does anyone know how to set up cgit with nginx so that it works as http://10.0.0.1/git/ instead of http://10.0.0.1/ ? since every freaking guide out there assumes you want to do the latter

>>105979450
that sounds like basic nginx setup

Is it possible to start Ubuntu without a monitor connected to the PC? I can ssh into the PC once it is on, it it will not start without a monitor connected?

>>105979581
Ubuntu is used for servers...

>>105979581
You can. That's exactly how most people use Ubuntu.

>>105979604
>>105979604
That’s good, thanks. But how do I troubleshoot without a monitor connected? The ssh connection does not work and if I connect the monitor after I starter the PC it stays black.

>>105978337 (OP)
i was forced to use linux due to life.
chose the most popular one,ubuntu 24.04
after a month or so I see how bad it is. Constant crashes from filling ram over 90% ,
the only "supported" on screen keyboard randomly crashes my session daily .
basic dependencies or secondary programs are not auto installed with the main one.
desktop environment barely doesnt shit it self but only if i disable opengl
a random crash raped my nvidia drivers to an unusable state and i had to wate approx 6-8 hours in order to reinstall them since the gui was FUBAR

>>105979538
What a surprise, chatgpt is useless.

>>105979704
>most popular one,ubuntu 24.04
The most popular Linux distros are SteamOS, Arch and Mint.
Ubuntu is specifically made for servers, their desktop editions are just a janky product made for developers. If you want a usable desktop OS then use Nobara or Aurora.

>>105979686
>The ssh connection does not work
Sounds like you'll need to figure out why it doesn't work. Try troubleshooting with ChatGPT. ssh is very simple to set up.
>if I connect the monitor after I starter the PC it stays black.
This doesn't sound normal.

>>105979739
>What a surprise, chatgpt is useless.
Sounds like you should get better at explaining what's wrong. ChatGPT knows perfectly well how to change the location of your nginx server.

>>105979704
i installed linux on a vacuum tube radio recently and it's been nothing but a big old headache, i feel ya brother

>>105979797
i never had issues with win 7, even at 80% ram it sometimes crashes , ihave 12gb ram

>>105979686
Does ssh work with the monitor connected?

>>105979816
Install earlyoom or use a non-shit distro

>>105979816
i'm guessing your problems are nvidia related which is why i'm joking about inappropriate hardware
maybe try linux mint, which offers to download all sorts of proprietary drivers for you
any desktop environment but GNOME would perform better, as well

>>105979867
no distro can cure layer 8 problems

>>105979849
Yes, no problem with the monitor connected
>>10597978
ChatGPT tells me to connect the monitor and type some commands in the console, but when I tell it that the monitor stays black it tells me to restart the PC with the monitor connected. Now the problem is gone, but I want to run the PC without the monitor.
Maybe I need Ubuntu for server? I installed the desktop version.

>>105979879
>>105979867
ok

>>105979950
Just to confirm, you're saying that you can ssh into the computer remotely from another pc if the monitor is plugged in but if you dont have it plugged in then you cant ssh into the computer remotely?
Have you tried pinging it without the monitor connected ?

>>105980082
That is correct. Ping also does not work. I think the PC does not boot correctly, because if I press the on/off button it shuts off instantly, instead of the few minutes it takes for Ubuntu to gracefully shut down.

anyone try this? As I understand it it seems to be somewhere between fedora and RHEL, I assume it's more stable than fedora but would still be more up to date than, say, debian.

>>105980118
Yeah for whatever reason your pc is not booting correctly or at the very least does not connect to the network without a monitor connected
I have a feeling plymouth is the reason. Maybe try uninstalling plymouth or just disabling it with the bootloader cmdline arg but i dont remember what it was, i think you just need to remove splash or something.
Might be better to just install ubuntu server unless you really want ubuntu desktop for whatever reason but you could try uninstalling plymouth first assuming its not a hard dependency on ubuntu desktop and removes everything else.

>>105980212
Its just the centos equivalent of debian testing
fedora is probably more stable than centos stream

>>105980262
Thanks for the suggestion, I really appreciate that. I will try to find out if this is the Ubuntu version of delete system 32 prank and then try it out. Would be a shame if I had to install Ubuntu again, I am so close to setting it up the way I want it.

>>105980480
Plymouth is just the splash screen thing that shows up during boot instead of you seeing a bunch of kernel messages during boot but it might be causing problems for whatever reason if theres no display connected

>>105980501
>Plymouth is just the splash screen thing
Yes and if I delete system32 I will be able to do the triforce! I know what you guys do for fun.
No but seriously thanks, I will read the arch wiki about it

>gio trash doesn't work on btrfs subvolumes unless you add x-gvfs-trash to the mount options
lol

>>105980212
It has nothing to do with Fedora. It's a point release distro which leads RHEL releases within their 5 year full support phase. It still has all the limitations and ancient special software versions of RHEL. Unlike Debian testing it has security updates and is supposed to be production ready.
>would still be more up to date than, say, debian
Sometimes, probably. RHEL only updates its kernel about every 3 years. Applying Debian analogs to RedHat is a freetard mind trap. Everything RH is bigger and more specialized.

Is it possible to edit the settings for how "get new" options are displayed in KDE?

Start vlc from the terminal, you might see something on it.

Small ffmpeg help, I have an mkv file (with embedded subs) I want to convert to hevc and get a new mkv with the same embedded subs, is it possible? all examples I find online ask for an external .srt or .ass (at which point I would just use mkvtoolnix after the encode).

Any of you use vifm, (the CLI file manager)? how good is it compared with lf (list files, writen in go so easy to compile)? Only the former is available as a Fedora package, so i want to give any of them a shot, but i don't wanna do heavy investing without knowing if there's a gotcha with any of them.

>>105984516
I dunno what kind of answer you're waiting for. Have you tried booting any live environment?

if the fan is loud because it's failing, find a replacement

other than that, idk what you're really asking for. i mean it's new enough to just use for a lot of normal tasks. is there anywhere you can think of where it could be used as a kind of terminal/kiosk type deal? somewhere you could benefit from something displaying streaming tv/media, photos, weather, etc. it really depends on your specific circumstances, what you currently have, what could benefit you personally

>would the solution to this be something like this?
yes

>>105985182
systemd's weird device names are supposed to fix this exact problem. did you disable that feature?

It's been quite some time since pacman last shat itself. This time it was because package "phonon-qt5-vlc" was today moved to AUR and had its dependencies broken along the way. This meant some qt5 version couldn't be uninstalled and some owned files were blocking upgrade to qt6 version.
If anyone here bumps into the same problem, it'll probably need some force removing to solve.

No bullshit tool that lets me remap left mouse click to something else?
That button of my mouse mostly died. The mouse has side buttons, I want to repurpose a side button as left click until I get a new mouse.
Neither KDE settings nor Input Remapper accepts mouse click input when trying to remap.(Using my keyboards touchpad, also tried mouse's own button too, it occasionally registers input still)

Is there something wrong with arch's internet connection modules?
Connection speed is normal but it took a few seconds before start doing anything with any command that needed the internet connection
Like, I ping google.com and it took almost 3 seconds before start pinging and show the results on the terminal
This started happening to me since a day before yesterday and affected everything even my internet browser took a few second to show the website

From my understanding cachyOS isn’t using the regular arch kernel but maybe I’m misunderstanding something

You're correct, they do not:

>the best CLI file manager
idk, isn't the terminal itself sufficient for this? rm whatever file, etc

>>105986448
refer to section 3.7 of the page you linked before and check you don't have that option set.
if cachyos doesn't use systemd, you'll need to check the documentation for the system you're using

>>105986502
it uses systemd
i dont know why they are called wlan0 and wlan1

>>105986547
normally on systemd you'll get something more like what mine is, which is wlp14s0. "wlan0" is what you used to get before systemd introduced stable network interface names (stable as in they have the same name every time you boot)
i'm not familiar with cachyos, do they have a forum? someone has likely asked about this if you haven't changed anything yourself

>>105986547
Check your system doesn't have a Udev config or kernel command line parameter that's bringing back the legacy names.

>>105986601
its so weird that they would do something like that

>>105986610
>its so weird that they would do something like that
there's some people who don't like the new names. i do admit the old names were easier to remember, wlan0, eth0, etc. but the new names are more complex for a reason

>>105986610
>its so weird that they would do something like that
Maybe one of the developers doesn't like the new naming. It's a bit annoying to be honest. I currently have 4 different network cards in my system and their names are all a bunch of gibberish:
$ ip link | grep enp
2: enp5s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
3: enp7s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
5: enp9s0f1u2: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
6: enp6s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000


The enp9 one is a USB-C NIC that likes to randomly change its name when it feels like it. These names are anything but stable, they're simply chosen on the assumption that the underlying topology is stable. If you want stable names then you have to script ways of identifying which NIC is which (currently I do this by driver name because the drivers are unique in my case but that wouldn't be the case if you had multiple NICs using the same driver).

I think by MAC address is likely the safest bet for a stable name if I did want to change the configuration but then you end up with truly ugly interface names.

>>105986640
Thinking about it. The way I identify them by driver name would be neat to have in Systemd as an option, not that any of their developers would see this. So you'd have say igb0 igb1 igc0 igc1, etc, where the driver name is the interface name and the number is which card was probed first.

>>105986666
Or maybe you could combine driver name + short form of MAC address for something more stable but still not truly ugly.

its doing it for the ethernet one but not for the wireless ones

Been using Arch for 3 weeks now, came from Bazzite which I had used for 6 months, prior to that I used the "just werks" distro mint, which ironically didn't "just werk". However I can say for a fact that the real "just werks" distro is arch. Not had any problems, games no longer completely crash my PC like they did on bazzite, sometimes alt tabbing or doing shit would just completely crash the SDDM or wayland. Not happend on here though

>>105986723
I had the new naming style when I used networkmanager. After I switched to iwd my wifi became wlan0 for some reason. My ethernet ports were always enpXXX

>>105986733
Arch was "the one" for me as well. Felt like a Linux distro was finally just doing what I wanted and doing it smoothly.

>>105986640
i haven't looked into how they're generated, because i haven't had an issue with them changing unexpectedly since it was introduced (that and possibly also because i have few machines with more than one of a certain type of interface, and even rarer still that i physically move them around)
i believe there's some options with regards to how they're named though. serial and mac are great ways to identify specific devices in general. while i haven't messed with network names, i have played with udev for other things, like i have a backup drive where i identify it by its' serial number and have udev run a backup script, the result being i can literally just plug that drive in and it will kick off a backup entirely automatically
>>105986723
that's weird
>>105986742
i use systemd-networkd, i suppose it's possible another program is altering things

>>105986723
That might be iWd renaming them if CachyOS defaults to using that. The two actually fight over renaming it so you end up with:
>Boot
>Udev renames interface to Wlpxxx
>Iwd starts
>Renames interface back to wlan0

>>105986755
Ah, the iwd developers fixed the race condition by disabling the re-naming:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Iwd#Wireless_device_is_not_renamed_by_udev

If you need predictable names I think the Iwd developers say to get the information you need from the DBus API they expose if I remember rightly. At least I think that was their excuse for this.

>>105986802
<udev interface renaming
<
<On systems running the systemd udev at the time of writing there's a race condition affecting the interface renaming by udev. The race is a result of the kernel disallowing interface renames once the interface has been activated (UP) by IWD. IWD and udev may be detecting the new interface simultaneously and timing will decide whether udev will be able to perform the rename or not.
<
<The change in how IWD manages interfaces doesn't really affect the race condition in any way. Optimally the kernel should allow those renames to go through independent of IWD.
<
<Optimally also udev should not even need to rename the interfaces as those names have no meaning unless a user is manually configuring their networking, which usually means they will not want to run IWD as IWD assumes full authority over wireless configuration and the user will only configure it through the DBus interface.
<
<The goal for the udev renaming is that a given interface is always referred to by the same name over system reboots and device re-plugs. For that purpose the DBus interface exposes the Model/Vendor properties on each Adapter object (phy) although those are not necessarily unique on the system.
<
<With this new interface management logic it would actually make more sense for the phy names to be persistent as phys refer to specific devices. There will usually be only one managed-mode interface under that phy which uniquely identifies that interface.

im sure cachy uses network manager
can iwd be used as a "backend"?

>>105986802
so i guess they are using iwd as backend for networkmanager?

>>105986831
Probably, it's the better wireless daemon that everyone should be using anyway. Ultimately, it looks like this is a kernel bug that has still yet to be resolved because in some circumstances Iwd can re-name the interface first and then the kernel won't let Udev re-name it again.

>>105986750
Mint gave me tons of issues, Bazzite was fine but crashed often and games didnt really perform all that well. Arch is honestly just the best, works like a dream and sails like a boat on a calm lake, so im glad you also had a great time :)

>>105986843
so i guess cant do anything about it while iwd is installed

>>105986880
You could delete the mask file Iwd installs and hope for the best but if the kernel still has a bug then that'll break things. Probably best to leave it. It's not like it matters anyway because as the iWd developers point out the renaming Udev is doing doesn't make much sense for wireless interfaces anyway.

>>105986910
actually it looks like they arent using iwd as backend. it seems that its using the default wpa_suplican
but it is installed for some reason

USB adapters? Usual distro defaults don't fix shit regarding USB adapters, you want to do the MAC-based rule instead.

It's a kernel feature desu.

>>105987252
>>systemd's weird device names
>It's a kernel feature desu.
Technically, Systemd is user-space although the distinction is sometimes lost. It's system software after all.

>>105987279
Right, wasn't a kernel feature but an udev setting. Not sure why they won't default to MAC-based names, at least for USB adapters.

>>105983422
the kinds of things people complain about always makes me laugh, because i remember the first time i tried linux. it was 2004, i noticed my neighbour (friends with my parents, they were much older than me) had something strange on his computer, so i asked him about it. he was running Slax from a 256M flash drive. i was amazed that much a beautiful os (KDE 3.x) could even fit on that, and i ended up leaving with a cd of SimplyMEPIS 2004.4. i installed it on my laptop and everything worked ootb, it was really quick, and even supported my parallel printer ootb, which was a handful of years old at that point and was tricky to find drivers for in XP.
now i'm sure i was a bit lucky with my hardware, back then a lot more devices weren't supported, but today you can almost expect practically anything to just work, everything's much better and more user friendly. we're well past the point where linux is a worse option but it still is and always will be a different option, and that's what most complaints are about

>>105987438
Pick your favourite immutable distro (like Bazzite) and use only Flatpaks.

>>105987486
Do immutable distros have good GUIs to control flatpak permissions?

>>105987545
KDE has a built-in preferences section for this in its System Settings. If you use GNOME (my condolences) then you can install Flatseal from Flathub.

>>105980959

Is it still recommended to have /home on separate partition if I'm not planning to distrohop?

>>105987727

No. It's even less recommended if you do distro hop.

>>105987867
You shouldn't use a persistent /home partition when you distro hop.
1. You risk using different versions of software with incompatible configuration files. This can cause your software to break "for no reason", to behave buggy, or your config file to be overridden anyways.
2. You'd just drag around useless files since, most of the time, you'll use completely different DEs and software.
3. Some distros want to pre-configure software for you to improve/enhance the out of the box experience. You'd just override those and possibly break some shit or at best have an inconsistent experience.

Even if you don't distro hop, having a /home partition is pointless. The correct solution to whatever problem you think you have would be:
>have a persistent *backup* of your /home on a separate drive or remote storage.
>if you're going to have anything on a separate drive, have it be only your Downloads, Documents, etc. Those are transferable without risking breakage.
>if you want to "back up" your config files, then individually pick each of them to back up rather than backing up literally everything.

Gotta be honest, though. Compatability looks pretty bad. You might want to consider mypaint or krita.

>>105978337 (OP)
ok, I'm new to linux, it's probably obvious
I just installed manjaro with i3 because I wanted to try tiled window managers, and I love it. getting used to the shortcuts to move around the workspaces and launching programs and moving the windows around, it's all pretty fast and smooth and I like it

however, there seems to be a serious flaw in my particular distro/installation/settings
if I run out of memory (and I can see that very easily by just opening a bunch of youtube tabs and looking at the helpful status bar at the bottom) the entire OS hangs. it just freezes. it's not firefox or whatever youtube tabs that stop or become unresponsive. it's everything
the only solution seems to be to restart

I've looked for a ctrl alt del alternative and I tried all combinations I've found with no success
but that seems secondary
my next step will be to try to limit how much memory firefox gobbles up, but that seems like a bandaid. it doesn't seem right for the OS to become completely unresponsive

how do you people deal with this situation?

>>105988273
i would just use krita but it apparently hates nvidia gpus, the gui always bugs out and doesnt draw correctly with constant flickering

>>105988304
Are you using nvidia open drivers or proprietary? I use krita just fine on my 3060

>>105988301
Swap on a ZRAM + OOMkiller.

>>105988301
You should've set up a Swap file during the installation process of your distro. Most distros either do this automatically or ask you within some dropdown.
You can do that manually right now.

If the problem persists then install earlyoom. It will kill your processes as soon as your RAM starts filling up. Make sure to whitelist some processes so that it doesn't kill your window manager or something else that's "critical".

>>105988301
linux OOM (out of memory) handling tries way too hard for your typical desktop user, it will eventually kill something and stop hanging, but usually well after most people will hit the reset button. to resolve that you want an early oom killer, basically a small daemon (service) which will kill something off /just/ before the system runs out of ram. so like if your browser is using most of your ram and you run out, it'll probably kill the browser just before it hangs, kind of thing.

>>105988383
wtf it worked
thanks anon!
why is this not the default?
I imagine not having it on is better for modern computers with a lot of ram
I'm on a potato

>>105988493
do you even have swap

>>105988301
>>105988498
Having a swap file/partition on a physical drive while making the system actually use it may look like a crash even if the system is actually not crashed but processing at snail's pace.
Same happening with ZRAM is less of an issue.

>>105988498
you know, I doubt it
I copy pasted something related to zswap into some file and reloaded stuff
then I enabled systemd-oomd
which seems to be running
and sure enough, I'm pushing firefox and youtube hard and firefox clearly slows to a crawl but the OS doesn't hang and I can still do stuff in other windows. seems like what I would expect
but there's a little "swap 0B/0B" on my desktop
I'm pretty sure I saw that option when I installed manjaro and I probably left it at whatever the default is
maybe I should read about it a little more and reinstall. maybe. we'll see. this will not be my final grievance (I still need to understand why my sound cracks through the headphones as well)

If you do have a seperate home and want to reinstall the OS, don't leave /home as-is. Move everything away before reinstall. Best is rename /home/user to /home/user.old and reinstall new OS. Then chown recursive user.old so it's yours. Then pick and move files from it that you need. This is to let the new OS create all the special files in your home.

Is it possible to edit the settings for how "get new" options are displayed in KDE? No matter if it's a desktop effect, wallpaper or anything else you only get a handful of options when pressing "get new" and there doesn't seem to be any option to load in more alternatives even though there are thousands available.

How the fuck do I calibrate a touchscreen in KWin (KDE Plasma)? I read libinput is the way to go to calibrate the matrix, but when I looked at the official documentation it states the following:
> Calibration is available for some direct-input devices (touch screens, graphics tablets, etc.). The purpose of calibration is to ensure the input lines up with the output and the configuration data is a transformation matrix. It is thus not expected that the user sets this option. The desktop environment should provide an interface for this.

Backup everything. Be picky when you use the backups.

Updates are disrespectful, you have to write your own backup scripts. Because it will overwrite everything and the base does not cover "edge" cases, like your custom configuration..

>>105992559
>drives will unmount after every update because fstab gets nuked
That's not a thing afaik. Normally fstab is symlinked from somewhere that doesn't get overwritten.

It's an analog to Windows S/SE, which is dramatically less free. You can still change whatever you want with small learning curve.

>>105991822
/home is practically useless since is ridden with config or autoinstalled crap. I just mount $HOME/MyStorage pointing to a different drive/NAS and ignore everything else above it. Fuck it don't even mount it anywhere, just use a plain boring directory you rsync/synchting every once in a while and symlink your downloads folder inside there. The point is anything you do is much cleaner if you ignore $HOME beyond it's purpose as a config/cache dump. You can track worthwile configuration files and as >>105988259 said 99.999% of the other shit dumped there is better off redownloaded/recompiled (i.e. if you use unprivileged Nix on a foreign distro, all your derivations at very likely to get fucked).

If you do it right you can just ignore the top most level of $HOME akin to some autistic kid throwing a tantrum and reside your useful files where you can control them.

free software?

Can anyone familiar with ml4w hyprland tell me how to disable the app not responding popup? It was easy on jakoolit's setup, but I have no clue where to type it in ml4w

Trying to install librewolf on Arch and makepkg runs for like 10 minutes before running out of memory during compiling and force closing and I can't find any working solution for this.
I have 8GB ram and a 4GB swap partition

>>105997243
Install librewolf-bin

hi guys how do I move to kali linux?

>>105997270
You don't. It's not intended for daily use and you won't become an epic hax0r by installing it

>>105997265
Right, but why is this happening? Is 8GB just not enough to compile librewolf?

>>105997270
Download, install to virtual machine

>>105997340
No, I had the same problem with 16gb. Browsers are not trivial things to compile. Just go with the binary.
If you really want to compile it you can try limiting it to one thread in makepkg conf file, but I had no luck.

Which program do you have in mind?

>>105997633
You never hear these fags complain that their entire unit system is written in bash. God forbid we load a 50 line c file module into bash

1. Clean out dust
2. Repaste the CPU, if you can be bothered
3. Upgrade RAM to the maximum
4. Replace HDD with an SDD, if you can be bothered
5. Install a distro of your choice
6. Enable zram to get the most out of the RAM
7. Install some good old Windows games with Wine/Proton/etc
8. Enjoy

>doesn't play well with other devices.
If you install Linux then it should work like any other Linux computer. I've installed Linux on an old MacBook before. It just worked.

>>105979581
It's possible to make Ubuntu boot to a command line without a GUI, because I've done it on my machine. If you do that then surely Ubuntu won't care if a monitor is plugged in or not. It should boot when you turn it on, and then you can just SSH into it.

>>105994583
How big do you need?

>>105997952
Good choice of distro but why do you have such a small monitor

>>105991822
>Use a different /home/folder or change it's name
Are you mentally ill? What the fuck is the point in having a home partition when distrohopping if you're never going to use it again?
>a separate /home partition is not necessarily a backup.
Anon mentioned having a separate /home partition is recommended for distrohopping. If you have a separate /home for distro hopping then you're clearly using it as a "backup" of sorts, so that it can be re-used on your new distro. Which is just really fucking dumb.

>>105991566
>no, you're wrong!
Those are all verifiable facts. You clearly have no idea what you're talking about.

>>105997986
It's probably a VM

>>105998177
That makes sense. I remember having a CRT monitor which really was that resolution though. Those were the days.

Yes.
I've been seeing him posting on various threads now.
Just copy pasting what grook tell him to.

Anyone knows how to get clipboard across different machines?
I'm using deskflow is synergy better?

I just use KDE Connect for this

>>105998583
Between two different DEs?
I thought KDE connect is phone to PC thing.

>>105994583
Not really
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=420657

>>105998628
It's a "KDE Connect" to "KDE Connect" thing. Doesn't matter what device you use.

I hope this isn't a dumb question. I want to install the Mega desktop app on my Debian machine. I noticed they offer versions for Bookworm as well Bullseye, but not for Trixie. If I install the app right now, will it still work when I upgrade to Trixie in a couple weeks?

>>105998668
that's the most stupid AI answer I've seen in this thread.

It was a VM, indeed. Didn't want to fiddle with hiding personal info on my computer.

>No, I had the same problem with 16gb
Did you not have a swap? lol 16gb is more than enough to compile librewolf

>boot pc

this is literally canonical's fault, how the fuck can a browser just disappear from my system and then (((magically))) reappear after an update

Your opinion was copy-pasted from chatgpt, it has no value or verifiable facts.

These AI bots are out of control! Everything is AI! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH

>>106001888
I understand that it can be overwhelming to see AI becoming such a big part of our lives. It raises a lot of questions and concerns. What specific aspects of AI are bothering you the most? Maybe we can talk about it!

pardon my ignorance but how do i change where my screenshots and screen captures go to? i fucking hate gnome.

>>106001977
Changing where screenshots are stored is a usability anti-pattern and it's something that we at GNOME will never allow the user to do.
