Windows clears.

>>107098383
my asshole?

>>107098383
ngl, I'd return to windows, or at least think about it, if they walk backed their surveillance and made their OS play nice with other OS boot sequences. Though, I doubt they will do that, even if it means losing vast amounts of market share over the decades to come.

I'm configuring my first window manager, and I'm finally beginning to figure out how it works ^-^

Nixos is based.

>>107098509
NigsOS is also a lintroon OS, even if its just a darker lintroon os.

I like this 90s style of UI, I wonder what a modernized version of this might look like while retaining the overall feel, I feel like doing some concept art noe

I can't get firejail to work with Discord and Vencord has anyone here tried it before?
I just want it to stop logging my games

What's a good amount of time spent on Mint before switching to babby's second distro?

>>107098549
I'm not friendly. And frankly there needs to be a barrier that entry for Linux. Rtfm used to mean something.

>>107098601
Go make yourself a /uglt/ then, shitass

>>107098608
No, how about we fight irl? Pussy bitch

>>107098601
Then why are you here? Too thin skinned to be in /b/ but also don't want to admit it?

Lol iCuck go home you don't run linux

>>107098394
>>107098404
>>107098437
Thanks, I'm a literal noob to Linux outside of a few weeks with Mint and two online classes I was thinking of getting one and setting it up as a camera system to monitor when my catto eats, just for fun. I will get one. Are the R Pi cases worth it?

>>107098635
You should definitely get a case for it to protect it from dust buildup. And turning it into a camera system to check on your kot is very much a Pi project.

>>107098632
You're a tranny and you're gay

>>107098635
How are you liking Mint? It's probably the only Linux OS I've used that needed the least wrangling, but a lot of the wrangling starts after installation, if you aren't an ADHD retard like me, always looking for dopamine, you'll spend a day to a week setting up your OS and then your basically good to go.
If you are like me, you're going to learn a lot but definitely the hardest part of Linux is initial set-up.
>>107098655
Why are you like this?

>>107098601
>Rtfm used to mean something.
I don't know what that means and frankly Linux has a pretty high barrier to entry, we had someone in here a couple days back crashing out about how much wrangling the OS needs and why can't it just "work".

>>107098655
Lol iCuck closet homo seethe and cope

>>107098379 (OP)
Is the CompTIA: Linux cert worth it?

>>107098672
Most distros have nice installers and UIs now except for a few niche ones that are rarely used

Even a minimalistic distro like void has an installer, it's easy to set up

If it's a pain to use it's probably not worth using

>>107098675
Why are you calling me an IToddler? Nigger you probably bang dudes in public bathrooms

>>107098689
nta but dude, you're just as bad as liberals. You see something that doesn't conform to your world view then go out of your way to make yourself a nuisance and destroy it then wonder why no one likes you. Just stfu.

>>107098684
I'm glad I learned to program in java instead of the usual learn linux route that is done in most universities, you can learn linux in your free time

The old MIT SICP way was the correct way imo

>>107098705
I took a 101 and 102 of Python in university but is that literally all the linux cert is? Programming and learning the directories? What's the point of having one then?

>>107098689
You seem like a cuck so it felt natural to call you an iCuck, I'm probably right in any case

>>107098703
Ok but you smoke or cock. Fag

I mean I do make a mean smoked briquette but I don't see what this has to do with you being an unlikable faggot for literally no reason.

Great, thank you.
>>107098666
I got Mint because everyone told me it's Babby's First Distro even though some faggots on /v/ told me I should use Arch for my first Linux experience. Its good. I like it. I put it on a really old (x250) Thinkpad and any issues Ive had Ive been able to solve pretty easily.

>>107098729
The cock you smoke is black.

>>107098750
I'm not NixOS which is having a leadership crisis as their forums spiral about gender identify and other retarded politics. Don't bring your shitty Nix culture here, thanks.

>>107098740
>I got Mint because everyone told me it's Babby's First Distro
It is, and its a way less rough transition into Linux than when I went from windows 7 to Ubuntu back in the day. Even if many new users say that Mint is rough, its much smoother than it used to be.

>>107098760
Social media was a mistake. Projects should be closed off from outsiders. Just because I have an opinion and I have might provided some patch to X or Y doesn't mean I'm part of the core team.
So many projects would be better if they just shaved off 90% of the people right off the bat and closed doors until further notice.

Which window manager are you trying out and what did you use before?

>>107098799
dwm
I used Cinnamon DE before

>>107098787
Doesn't matter because you are male and straight, so the NixOS devs wouldn't listen to you anyway.

Arch troons mad as fuck itt.

>>107098812
What's the point in using a window manager instead of a normal desktop

>>107098383
I honestly can't go back to windows after making my own task bar and application menu button

Damn, I'm using xfce and I'm not cool?

>>107098576
I don't use discord, but firejail can be pretty frustrating. Maybe a simple DIY sandbox is sufficient? Just create a "discord" user with their own home directory, allow your user do execute discord as the "discord" user via sudoers/doas.conf file, use xhost to allow the sandbox user to execute graphical applications (I think "xhost si:localhost:discord" should work) and then use sudo/doas to execute discord as the discord user. You can change the .desktop file to automatically use the sandbox user.

>>107098925
I just realized you probably want sound if you use discord lol. I think your sandbox user needs to start their own pipewire daemon, or connect through a Unix socket.

>>107098925
I'd stay away from discord unless you want the feds sniffing around, Linux users are less than 10% and if you have discord they are gonna most likely prob you either as a pedo or as a political radical.

>>107098812
Nice. DWM is kind of a hard choice for your first window manager, compared to something like i3 or qtile. But at the end of the day, half of your setup is using other software and finding your favorite file manager, image viewer, screenshot tool, etc and writing useless scripts for them and that is universal on all WMs lol

>>107098869
is that tint2?

>>107099015
What's tint2?

On Windows, it can be an incredible pain in the ass, but I can get the new versions of things hours after they're released.

In general, is there a way to do that instead of waiting for my distro to update, even if it isn't a good idea?

>>107098855
I use workspaces a lot and window managers do everything I need them to do, while being easily customizable. At this point, I only ever have one or maybe two windows on screen. When I open gimp, it's on my gimp workspace, maximized, with no other window on that workspace. And as I use it a lot, it's mapped to super+g so whenever I press super+g I immediately switch to the gimp workspace and if it's not already open, it opens it. And when I press super+w I'm immediately back in my web browser. I like having maximized windows and always knowing something is located.

I'm pretty sure you could set up the same workflow in xfce somehow, but I guess that's more work with basically no benefit at that point.

>>107099027
it's a configurable taskbar, I thought that's what you had

>>107099047
go to github/whatever git website your thing is hosted on page
git clone the project
coompile according to the steps written on the page
resolve dependency issues if any
enjoy

>>107099047
That's what compiling from source is for

>>107099047
Depends on what you mean by new things? Many games don't work the moment they release, sadly. For anything free software related, just download the release from their git. Also, many distros have unstable/testing repos and allow you to download individual packages from other repos. Or maybe you could use something like gentoo's portage, which was basically designed so you can mix and match different versions more easily.

why is ax200 card so awful on linux? holy shit, what an abysmal wifi speed when you're just 12m away from the router. Is this laptop thing only? how does ax200 do on PC?

Is there a linux distro that I can use the live cd with proton to test game performance from the USB? Game is installed in the ssd of course

I have no issue with mine. Is the antenna connected and positioned accordingly?
>12m
Without walls? Otherwise it's a big distance and you need a second AP.

>>107100198
For this sort of tests I use a Kubuntu live environment with persistence enabled.

>>107098379 (OP)
Would there be any reason to install old builds of distros from the late 90s or early 2000s. Would it even be possible to properly set them up and use them even in an offline setting. I'm VERY autistic about this.

>>107100391
Before you think about doing this, ask yourself: Why would I want to do this? What exactly do you want to do with a pre-glibc distro?

>>107098968
>>107099366
I personally stick with the browser version of discord as the app is just too spooky for me. Besides the app can be a massive pain to use on Linux, esp when updating

>>107100481
I use Vesktop personally, and it "just werkz". Flatpak of course.

>>107100413
I want to do it for the experience of that time and authentic aesthetics without having to spend an entire month trying to learn how to rice.

>>107100588
as someone who dabbled with Linux in the 2000-2002 era before not really coming back to it until 2020: You aren't missing much. Linux was utter dogshit back then.

I'm retarded, so please be gentle. How the hell do I move my btrfs snapshots to my secondary drive? Is it even possible or was this just a massive waste of my time?

>>107100817
You can't, snapshots can only exist on the same filesystem. You can transfer the actual data with btrfs send, rsync, cp, etc...

I keep hearing how Mint is outdated because they only updoot every 2 years or something, how much of a problem is that in actual terms? I want to try Linux on my older machine which I use mostly for playing older games, like from 2020 or older, and drawing with my Wacom in Krita, are problems to be expected for this usecase?

>>107100957
On an older machine with a single monitor? Probably not a problem at all. I dunno about krita and wacom on mint though. I know my wacom tablet works great in Krita on KDE but Mint doesn't have that. Not by default anyway.

What is the easiest way to get UnityModManger to work on Bazzite?
On Mint and Arch it's simple, just run mono UnityModManager.exe, but Bazzite won't even let me install mono.

>>107101334
The easiest way is probably to just run it through Protontrick.
Is this for a specific game? If so run an arbitrary exe directly through the games Proton-Prefix. This usually always worked with Mod Managers, never used UnityModManager though

Probably need to install
https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet-framework/net472
in the prefix before you can start it

>>107101373
Thanks!

Have you ever tried modding Skyrim on Bazzite?

>>107098379 (OP)
Are atomic distros the future for linux ? I feel like it could be a good thing for normies but it also doesn't feel like the true linux experience
what's the /g/ certified opinion about it ? What would our lord RMS say about it ?

>>107101398
Sadly not. Only Cyberpunk and BG3.
This is one of the downsides still for gaming on Linux. Its perfectly fine supported nowadays, but the applications around it tend to be a bit of a mess.
Double edged sword though. No users, no need to consider supporting Linux. So it will hopefully get better.

If we could get a fully supported Nexus Mod Manager on Linux, that could handle Proton-Prefixes it would make modding less of a hassle for a majority of games

>>107101401
Solution in search of a problem.
>What would our lord RMS say about it ?
it's gnu / atomic

>>107101401
They are good, but basically the windows of the Linux universe.
You give up all control to some random furry on Github. Plus their documentation on changes tend to be garbage, at least on all the derivatives from Fedora: Aurora, Bazzite, Bluefin. You have to be up to date with all Fedora changes that get pushed to live and everything the guys for the images do.
Biggest wakeup call for most was when the BlueOS group removed discover and just installed Bazaar for every user. Its a good switch, Bazaar is far better, but you had absolutely no choice in that matter.

User experience with Flatpaks is great. I only ran into some trouble that I just could not resolve when using StableDiffusion / ComfyUI. Thats a fringe case though and doesn't really apply to the usual user.

And what about wsl?

>>107101417
For Skyrim i found Mod Organizer 2 works fine on Arch where I just get the latest packages, but I had no luck getting dependencies to work together on other distros.

>>107101401
>but it also doesn't feel like the true linux experience
Having to reinstall every few weeks?

>>107100957
It's basically Ubuntu LTS with Cinnamon DE and Flatpak instead of Snap. If you don't have an application that's dependant on LTS, you might as well use Arch with LTS kernel and whatever DE you want.

>>107100391
Would be fun to try them in a virtual machine, might make good content, I would watch a YouTube video about it.

>>107100198
Depending on the size of the game, maybe tinycore or puppy, but if you install arch to external storage and boot to that, you'll have the latest version of everything, which could have performance boosts. I got a lot better fps in games going from mint to fedora myself.

>>107101439
>You give up all control to some random furry on Github
desu as a non-programmer it's kind of already what I do, though most of my issues are usually one of three types
> I fuck up my own system on my own (e.g. removing important stuff by accident)
> things are badly configured
> bugged packages being pushed in the repos
I'm not really sure I'd have anything to gain by switching from debian stable to an atomic distro. As long as I don't break stuff myself and I configure things correctly everything should be fine either way

Also I still don't get who is maintaining flathub, it seems bloated and redundant to use it for all your software, though I've understood you can layer software too and use appimages and whatnot

>>107101655
If you can't use a non-atomic distro without having to reinstall every few weeks then you seriously need to consider reading linux for dummies or switching to windows/macos

I have a (virtual) server that has gotten about 15GB full, confirmed by df -h. However,,if I mount the drive in a live Ubuntu ISO and use Disk Usage Analyzer to see what's taking up so much space, only about 8GB is accounted for, and apparently the biggest thing is /her at a little over 1GB. That can't be right.

>>107102005
What filesystem? ext4 filesystem reserves 5% of the partition size, i.e. if your partition is 100GB then 5GB is used by the filesystem.

>>107102145
>used by the filesystem
Reserved for root.

>>107100817
You can use btrfs-send for this.
https://fedoramagazine.org/btrfs-snapshots-backup-incremental/

>>107100827
Only creation is limited to the same block device, but read-only snapshots can be transferred to other filesystems. I do this as a form of backup on Kubuntu.

>>107102005
You're missing something when measuring disk usage. Use `sudo df -h <mountpoint>` on both systems.
ncdu is a good utility for navigating directories by size. btdu for btrfs.

What the hell.

I just installed a fresh version of Bazzite and tested GPU performance with https://mprep.info/gpu. I got 1/3 of what I have on win 10 (10k vs 30k points). This is supposed to be the game-oriented distro? Didn't test on any games yet because, like I said, fresh install. Is this normal? I expected a bit lower score, but this difference means something is REALLY borked. I already installed steam with protontricks and whatnot but didn't do ANY configuration at all.

Good video for beginners

>>107102400
What fucking meme page is this.
If you use AMD you lose at most 5% in comparison to Windows.
Nvidia is still a meme

>>107102400
Check drivers first and always first. I have no exp with Bazzite but generally if its running worse or rougher than windows, most likely your using an inefficient driver.

>>107102465
I didn't watch the video all the way though, more than half of the video is a commercial for this guys Linux stuff, but the first half is pretty good.

>>107102500
I would (perhaps naively) assume that a distro TAILORED towards gaming would be able to just download the necessary goddamn drivers in AD 2025.

> meme page
Kindly point me to a non-meme page, then. It's just fucking WebGL, it's not rocket science, all these benchmarks should give similar differences.

>>107102538
Obviously Bazzite ships with the latest Mesa drivers.
I also only get 14k in Firefox on Arch. I have no idea what is supposed to mean. Maybe download a game nerd

>>107102400
This isn't a game retard. Also what GPU?

>>107101655
>Having to reinstall every few weeks?
is this a meme? do you people actually do that?
ever since ive switched all my devices (besides few) YEARS ago ive never had to reinstall anything not even ONCE
meanwhile on windows i had to reinstall system every year or two cause it would just straight up get fucking bricked on me and i could do nothing about it

its actually kinda a problem now, cause i need to collect all my scattered files and settings in order to standardize my setup everywhere

and i dont know how you people arent pathologically afraid of losing your data
do you really do nothing of value with your computers?
>>107101532
EEE trash

>>107102538
>I would (perhaps naively) assume that a distro TAILORED towards gaming would be able to just download the necessary goddamn drivers in AD 2025.
Bazzite is fairly new and devs generally are too busy to maintaining the OS and keeping up security and usually leave drivers to the community or to the hardware manufacturers themselves, so there's going to be potholes your gonna need to patch yourself.

>>107102400
>guyze, this weird tranny website noone has ever heard of reports X!!
sucks for you. try playing games

>>107102400
Well Steam and proton aren't gonna do you shit with that test, since it's webGL and runs in your browser and requires the browser to be correctly configured. I got 36k BTW. Too bad I don't know how much I'd get in Windows.

>>107102538
>using WebGL
ngmi
btw "tailored towards gaming" doesn't really mean anything it's just a marketing slogan

OK, everything seems in order. I tested Grim Dawn (of course without VSync) and have the exact same FPS on win10 and Bazzite. The CPU utilization was *lower* on Windows, though (about 10% in absolute values).

So it seems it was me misunderstanding the graphics api in use. I do have some weird freezes, though, that last a few seconds. Not sure what's this about.

>>107102736
Welcome to Linux, I'm curious how well the game would run if you tried buntu or something.

I have a game thats having issues picking up my native full screen resolution, it seems to think my monitors res is a lot bigger than it actually is and as a result I can only see like 1/4th of the game. In the ingame settings I can change the fullscreen resolutions but all this does is make that 1/4th of the screen I can see blurrier or sharper, its still really big. Only way to "fix" it is by going windowed mode. Anyone know how I'd go about getting the correct full screen resolution? The game is Zenless Zone Zero. All my other games work fine even Genshin which is from the same devs

>>107101655
90 IQ check failed

does how I install windows games impact performance?
from what I can gather, there's Lutris which is like a GUI for Wine, and then there's Steam which houses Proton, which is just a fork of Wine.

on my Steam Deck I just add the non-Steam game to Steam and it kind of just handles the rest, and Steam is always running so there isn't really a way to avoid its overhead, but I recently got a laptop (also with an AMD APU) and put Arch on it and was just curious if there was a difference to setting up Diablo 2 Resurrected through Lutris or Steam or some other compatibility layer I'm unaware of.

>>107101828
but I don't want to use arch

>>107102976
Not really, if you're running the same proton version on lutris and steam performance should be the same. Main difference is Lutris has install scripts that are hit or miss but you can ignore those

>>107102773
>>107102736
Why do retards think distro matters so much? Biggest waste of time is to always suggest "change distro it does x and y better". No it doesn't you utter cretin.

>>107102145
Yeah, ext4. Though I think the drive itself is only 30-50GB. I never planned to do anything "big" with it. Just basically create a proxy that serves as a tiny fake Internet

>>107102261
Good to know. Will try that when I get the chance

>>107102911
How are you running it? Try WINEPREFIX=/path/to/pfx winetricks vd=widthxheight, if it doesn't fix it disable it in winecfg. Proton-GE has a fullscreen hack, if that doesn't work either try gamescope

What current distro has CDE working out of the box? Pic unrelated

Lutris install scripts are all ass.
Lutris itself is also ass.
Therefore Bazzite is ass since it comes preinstalled with it.

>>107103310
nice pic

>>107103310
None, just install whatever distro you want and nscde on top of it (if I remember correctly cde has some serious vulnerabilities)

>>107103210
I'm not allowed to be curious on the differences between distros that are running the same game? Weird take but okay...

>>107103210
>Why do retards think distro matters so much

Apparently the whole community is retarded, since everyone and their dog creates their own distros..

But, tbqh, I somewhat understand your point. OS should strive to be universal. Specialization is for insects, as someone said.

>>107103392
You are not very technical aren't you.

I want to purge junk metadata from my downloaded music.
mp3tag doesn't run natively and that's what I used on windows. I like that it let me get autistic about adding every hidden field they sneak into files so that I can purge them all in one swoop.
what should I use as a replacement?

bit of a dumb question but would there ever be a use case for installing GNOME on my fedora (running KDE) to switch around as I like or is it just better to stick to one desktop enviro install?

>>107103296
just running it with default settings from lutris, seems to use wine with auto prefixes, changing to proton fucks it more, using gamescope actually fixes the issue but adds a new one where basically the game is impossible to shut down without console commands, trying to figure out how to use winetricks with lutris atm

>>107103591
The use case would be to try them both. It's not uncommon to do this, although live CDs have largely replaced this need.

>>107103611
>trying to figure out how to use winetricks with lutris
I haven't used it in a while but you can also press the arrow next to launch (bottom left I think)>wine configuration or something like that>graphics>enable virtual desktop and set your res there

probably a stupid question but here goes. What do you guys use for virtualization? What would work best? Ive tried vmware and virtual box, but I try to use it and the program says I need to configure a user for the vbox user group. Ok no problem, I had one setup but no dice. I also made sure I had libvirt and other related packages that go with it installed. Is Xen better to use, or am I being filtered? Im using openSus Leap.

>>107103793
something is wrong with winetricks, it doesn't really save anything, after I try to set vd to a resolution I get this window and then it just returns back to the initial prefix building prompt as if nothing happened

>>107103944
I think that just means something in the prefix didn't shut down properly, check in your system monitor (or just htop) and kill anything with wine. Also doing it from winecfg (like I described here >>107103793) and running winetricks vd has the same effect

>>107103992
alright so I just restarted my PC and everything works fine now without applying any fixes(???), thanks for the help anyways

>>107103563

Recommend me a file searcher on ubuntu that isn't Thunar's shit file search. I think I might bite the bullet and download Nautilus, it's search function was so fucking nice.

>>107100310
it's getting outperformed by literally everything else I have on the same distance. 8265 & 7260 card runs laps around ax200 with over 10 times faster speed and pings. even cheap railink usb dongle is more reliable than my ax200.
the iwlwifi.conf power config workaround doesn't really fix the problem either, still better than nothing tho.

I might consider ""upgrading"" my Latitude 7400 ax200 to 9560, I don't really need wifi 6 anyway.

lads, can someone recommend me fan control software? I think my fans are at full blast even when idle, the noise is annoying but I'm more worried about wearing out my fans, they're a bit harder to get in my cunt, I can only buy them from Aliexpress, so if any of them dies, it takes weeks to replace, and I'm going for a certain aesthetic so I can't use different ones.

personally for me when i first hopped on fedora (around fedora 42 early) i installed 2 gnome and kde (i dont remember which first) and it resulted in a fucked up wierd configuration where a bunch of kde shit error'd on launch and uninstalling the same packages kept shit fucked up

how is Nautilus search better than Thunar?

Thunar search works for me every time. Click my home dir and search. It scans all sub folders.

You could try Dolphin.

>>107101401
theyre amazing
i have fedora kde workstation on my desktop and fedora kinoite on my laptop and when upgrading to fedora 43 the workstation had a whole mess of dependency bullshit i had to navigate carefully if i didnt want to uninstall my desktop (yea i know probably my fault in the first place for installing lots of third party repo shit without thinking)
on kinoite its just 1 keystroke and im on the new version
>>107101401
>doesn't feel like the true linux experience
nah its just a harder to break version of the same thing. they also come with that ptyxis terminal app that launches you into a 'normal' fedora container so you can have your 'true linux experience' in there but if you break it your desktop still works and you just run a new container.

as for ublue i think the idea is great but i want something more reliable/better supported/with a longer development history as my main desktop. id throw bazzite on a gaming handheld or a living room media machine but not on my desktop/laptop

>>107101334
>Bazzite won't even let me install mono
Technically you can fuck around with distrobox and install dependencies there, including wine or lutris or whatever else you need. Or, you can just use "brew install mono" or install it with rpm-ostree.
But the real question is, do you even need mono? Mono is only needed if you're trying to run games or servers natively (without wine/proton). If you use something like Bottles or Lutris you should be able to install any dependency in the bottle/prefix (simulated windows environment) without having to install any system packages on the Linux side. So, if you're just using Windows software there's no need to use Mono.

>>107101401
>doesn't feel like the true linux experience
There is no such thing. What people consider the "true linux experience" is all the shit that's holding back Linux adoption on desktops. Atomic distros at least partially solve or avoid some issues traditional Linux has.

>>107104750
Flatpak applications don't have permissions to access all files by default.
1. Open your system settings and search for "permissions" or open Flatseal.
2. Tick the "allow access to all user files" checkbox.

>>107106991
dual boots on the same drive tend to be somewhat sketchy definitely not a good idea if you dont know what you're doing 100% and dont wanna lost everything on that drive. ive fucked them up several times over the years

if you just wanna try something get a usb drive and put zorinOS or mint on it. if you're committed to dual boot get an extra ssd if your motherboard supports one (you can get low end 128gb PCI3 ssd for like 20$) and put your linux distro on that. you can share stuff like steam libraries between the two installs

>>107107108
>but i want something more reliable/better supported/with a longer development history as my main desktop
The good thing about ublue is that they're not actual distros. They're just Fedora Kinoite or Silverblue with a bunch of "layers" on top. If the project ever dies you can literally just "rebase" your system back to Kinoite or Silverblue without having to reinstall the whole OS. So you're only a single command away from going back to Fedora, which is a "reliable/supported/established" project. You don't really have anything to lose by just using a ublue distro.

>>107106991
It deleted any 3rd party bootloader after updating. But this has been fixed by Microsoft:
https://linuxiac.com/microsoft-fixes-windows-update-that-broke-grub-in-dual-boot-systems/

>>107107287
i know it will work after a rebase but they claim on their own docks that rebasing to/from regular fedora atromic is 'not supported' (basically means theyre not testing it and not taking complaints about it not working). if i do it after running a ublue desktop for many years im guessing it will result in a bunch of broken/messed up config files of various programs which i just dont wanna deal with.

basically i dont like distros that are just prericed versions of another distro (like omarchy/cachyos to arch) which ublue is to fedora atomic

Why is Ubuntu obsessed with Snaps and why are its derivatives obsessed with flats? I get that both of them have their use case (even if snaps are useless because of flats) but why is the common installation on many ubuntu distros and flavors flatpacks when there are .debs of them availiable?

Setting up OpenWRT fresh again for my new Internet connection and man odhcpcd is a piece of crap. It keeps crashing in a loop on me because I had some static /128 addresses to br-lan (I have a good reason for this, trust me) so it trips up over itself and ends up crashing in a loop.

I replaced that crap with dnsmasq-full and it's working much better.

Is there a linux equivalent of simplewall? I know ufw exists but I want something that gives a message or popup when a process tries to access the internet.

>>107107518
Snaps are proprietary and make RMS mad.

How is Guix as a daily driver? It tickles my autism as a Gentoo user.

>>107107518
snap advantages Ubuntu over other distros because it requires Ubuntu MAC policy for sandboxing to work, and it only supports Ubuntu as the base system image. The server snapd calls home to is also proprietary. Basically if you have any self-respect you don't use snaps because Windows already exists.

>>107107541

All these should still be open in the router. We've got a raspberry pi jump server and then a beefier x86_64 server to host actual stuff on.

>'immutable' what does that mean
It means you have to reboot any time you modify the base system, Windows 98 style.

In an immutable distro your root partition is read only, and system updates basically replace the root partition as a whole while your user files remain untouched. It's like idiot-proof linux

No. Steam and gog version default to litter the /home with folders they feel privileged to have instead of going where they belong- game folder itself or .config

>>107098587
I would say 1 year of a Debian-based distro is a good place to start with Linux distro hopping before that is pointless as you won't appreciate the differences.

>>107111588
I begrudgingly accept this if they are hidden directories.
Non-hidden directories get that program/game nuked forever though.

Okay. What the fuck's happening? I got no idea what's causing it. Log from journalctl doesn't seem to show anything strange. The weird part is that it started happening after not updating for about 10 days, and persisting through the update. Like why didn't it happen in those 10 days before?

>>107112226
Forgot to mention I'm also on gayland and I just know it's responsible somehow.

>>107112226
>>107112369
i'm super drunk, but mentioning "10 days" reminded me of an issue where arch would remove something (a temporary file) after 10 days which would break sddm, i can't find it now.
i doubt it's related to your issue, i've never used wayland

>>107109928
>why are you against erasing tracking data
Principally I'm no, but the tracking data that matters isn't stored where you can erase it.

>>107111690
never mind, I found cargo-xwin

I'm sick, what do I need to type into the terminal to fix it?

I just wanted to say THANK YOU to the anons telling me that Manjaro is shit and to hop over to plain Arch instead. Arch is [spoiler]fun[/spoiler] to use as a relatively intermediate Linux user, I don't care what anybody says
also Xfce is my desktop environment of choice, gnome can go stick its JavaScript components up its ass

Alright anons, I need honest advice for choosing an OS.
Here's my shit:
>main pc Debian
>have Windows aux pc for gayming (6700XT)
>1440p screen
>got into AI generation/training
>bought 3090
>current pc can't accomodate 3090
>decide to put 3090 in aux pc
Now, I don't know whether stick wiith Windows on aux PC or switch to Linux since I know both can do AI and gayming fairly well, but
>Linux best suited for AI to save VRAM
>Windows best suited for DX9/2000's gaymes

PS. I could've gone to /fwt/ as well but I'm more biased towards Linux and I feel /fglt/ is actually more friendly

I had AI generate all my firewall rules for my Ubuntu server. How fucked am I?

>>107112927
>>got into AI generation/training
Got any cool AI guides or resources to share?

>>107113012
youre part of a botnet now

>>107113012
hacking your server as we speak

>>107112927
>>Windows best suited for DX9/2000's gaymes
Is it? I find older windows games are easier to run in wine than newer ones but that might just be me being lucky.

I too am interested because so far I have only done automatic 1111 (like the first stable diffusion version ever) on windows
I do have some spicy LORAs I'd like to use eventually

>>107113206
Oh, so just image generation? Meh, I'm a bit less interested in that.

>>107113049
There are plenty, I started with /e/edg/ (you might guess why) but the gist is:
>install a webui
>load model
>load lora
>generate
I am yet to get into training though, that's the 3090 for, the goal is to go full on img2vid or txt2vid
>>107113167
This is good insight, thanks

Can anybody tell me why the fuck I can't waitpid() on a clone'd child process created with CLONE_NEWPID? The child obviously has a PID in the parent namespace but waitpid and waitid just fail with ECHILD (no children). I've tried setting the parent's subreaper attribute before cloning but it has no effect. Using a pidfd doesn't work either.

I gave my niece my larger drive because she plays more games than me and needed the space but I forgot to make a windows usb install so now I don't have a working windows system and only bootable media I have is an old Kubuntu live usb, how do I get back to windows from here?
I have a windows 10 iso file but don't think I can write to a usb stick while running a live linux system from it.
I also have an unformatted ssd in case it wasn't clear, and a spare hdd in case I could somehow use it as an installation media
Don't know if I should post this on here or on windows thread

>>107113280
What a shame

>>107113280
It's a sign. Just install Kubuntu and stay on Kubuntu.

>>107113280
in all seriousness get ventoy (I don't trust it but you'll wipe the drive anyway who cares)

>>107113214
well anon did say generation / training but I need some of them AI slop pr0n videos know what I'm saying brother

>>107113269
thanks anon sounds like the sloppagen gist is the same

>>107113297
>>107113306
If I were to stay on Kubuntu how do I go about partitioning the drive or is that not necessary?
On windows I used to have a boot/efi partition (1gb) a windows partition (64gb) and a media/games/settings partition (1.6tb), probably not necessary but it made things easier when reinstalling (which happened relatively frequently for different reasons)

>>107112878
>non-dev shitting on JavaScript because internet memes told him to

>>107113426
If that's all on the same drive I'd just do whatever default partition scheme the installer comes up with, which will probably just be a small boot partition and everything else in another partition. The partition scheme has no bearing on how you access the filesystem (no drive letters on Linux; partitions are just mounted to directories).

>>107113500
>>107113500

>>107113426
You can do it manually but it's not necessary, let the installer do its thing
