Reposting cause bump limit. Any of you have used Distrobox with Debian, or any Debian based distro? What has been your experience so far? Have you used it combined with CLI shit like pipx or asdf? any jank you can recall? I am a newfag, but don't fear the CLI, i have used a fair amount of tools in the past and have been fiddling with a virtual machine in order to somewhat know what to expect, cause i'd rather be raped by pic related than ever endure Windows 11 showing me ads on shutdown on my fucking PC, so moving up is where it is for now. As a newfag, Linux Mint DE is very appealing, and apparently is mostly Debian with a few extra repos as training wheels, fine for now. I don't have very fancy requirements, mostly a way to run up to date Node.js and Golang to slave, pipx so i get a few goodies like yt-dlp or buku, PollyMC, and maybe Proton-ge to try some old games. All of that seems within the reach of the AUR, but i'm too coward for bare metal Arch, for now.

Been using it for a while. Basically it has performance overhead for gaming over wine. For cli programs and development environment it's pretty solid.
There is one annoying bug. If a directory has a name with special characters like # and @, it will refuse to open shell to that directory and return to the container's home instead.

Anyone know how to make font rendering in firefox not look like a blurry piece of shit?
I've tried everything on google like disabling this and that rendering, but *nothing* in about:config does anything. Search engines tell me firefox uses the system font rendering, but that's BULLSHIT because my system fonts render correctly.

Pic VERY related. As a test I set the font of this post form to the same configuration as my OS and it's completely blurry as fuck whereas my OS is configured to have no antialising and "slight" hinting.
I just want my comfy square blocky system texts...

I got a fucking Firefox 2.0 wine install for webdev testing of backwards compatability and it fucking renders as it should.

I tried with Chrome and other clones as well, they also look retarded no matter what. I don't understand, what the fuck is wrong with web browsers in 2024 (except literally everything?).

I installed Debian on the same drive as W10. W10 is being possessive so I don't get a bootloader prompt. I expected that this would be simple to fix using the original install media, but nothing was forthcoming (I don't know how to be allowed to install grub under rescue mode and the regular installer would not let me install just grub). Did I completely miss the intended method? I kinda need to know regardless of whatever else because of the possibility of a windows update refucking the boot partition once a year.

Pic related: I figured I would try manually booting (to then get a working grub install) as I was able to find instructions for that but it ain't working - could be btrfs subvolume fuckery, iunno.

Trying to repair this is proving annoying enough that I guess I should just reinstall but I need to know what I did wrong originally. The only relevant thing I can think of is the "install to removable media" prompt of the grub step of the installer, which I declined as I understood it to pertain to hardware standards compliance and I shouldn't use it by default.

Reposting question from last thread, what could be preventing my computer from supporting proper suspend-to-ram?

cat /sys/power/mem_sleep

The other options are supposed to be light and deep, of which I don't necessarily expect both to be supported, but surely at least one of them should be. "s2idle" isn't even a proper sleep, and still drains battery like crazy.

It's a thinkpad with a modern AMD CPU, 7840U. Surely it's a config error somewhere on my end... right?

I think you just need a bitmap-only font. I don't think there's any reliable way to force bitmap mode in modern renderers even if the font contains a bitmap version. Picrel is a font called "Helvetica" (I don't think the typeface is actually Helvetica, I think it's MS Sans Serif), it was bundled with the Chicago95 theme for XFCE. You can download it off github and extract the font. I don't remember having to change any kind of settings to make it work properly, but I may be forgetting something (I fucked around a lot trying to get this stuff working).

Now, if you can help me get bitmap Tahoma working in the browser... my rice would be complete. It renders fine in my OS, but not the browser, because the renderer got an update which broke the font. I can't find a working replacement.

That much is clear.

In short, there's many different ideologies, approaches and implementations. There is no singular authority and no real consensus on anything. There's business oriented commercial distributions (RHEL, SUSE), there's autism minimalism oriented ones (Gentoo, Slackware), some that cater to migrants from Windows (Mint), some ideologically contrarian ones (Artix)... You really need a basic overview of these things and figure out what it is that interests YOU specifically, before you can even try asking questions

Linux has multiple things in its arsenal to deal with this. Fedora uses SE Linux and Ubuntu has AppArmor.

On my Gentoo system I also have AppArmor configured:

$ sudo aa-status
apparmor module is loaded.
90 profiles are loaded.
86 profiles are in enforce mode.
 profiles are in kill mode.
0 profiles are in unconfined mode.
54 processes have profiles defined.
54 processes are in enforce mode.
0 processes are in complain mode.
0 processes are unconfined but have a profile defined.
0 processes are in mixed mode.
0 processes are in kill mode.

(Pic) is what happens if I try to access say my SSH keys in the browser. It can't do it because AppArmor prevents it from accessing them so potential malware cannot exfiltrate the sensitive data.
This is just one example, there's plenty of other security features on Linux.

>>100144495
Does fedora block ssh keys too? Or do you have install app armor on it aswell? Also does linux se and apparmor work together?

>>100144540
is this bait?

>>100144540
SE Linux and AppArmor are competing Security Modules. You pick one, although there is ongoing work to allow them to stack and be used together.

Using these security modules you can tightly control what programs can and can't do and what they can and can't access. They're not firewalls though (we have real firewalls for that which can do all the same fancy DPI that Windows does if you really want something looking at every single packet).

I am realising now I should have probably bought something like a T480 or so, maybe do some research about how recent I can go with the CPU still being functional. But since windows is made to support this new stuff out of the box and calls it "sleep", I'm guessing nobody even noticed, and somehow "sleeping" battery life being a single night has become the new normal at some point, so nobody complains or even mentions it.

>If somebody would fork zsh to include certain plugins and settings by default like fish has it would be perfect.
There's a few plugins that almost everyone installs - zsh-syntax-highlighting, zsh-autosuggestions, and then your pick of either zsh-history-substring-search or zsh-autocomplete. The latter is a full-features completion plugin which also takes history into account, but zsh has pretty good built-in completion (definitely way better than bash), so you can go more minimalist and use that and just history-substring-search for scrolling through history by typing a prefix.

I haven't used fish in years but I don't think it adds any advantage over zsh with a setup like this.

I already have Pipewire setup, the 6.8 kernel will be available for 22.04, I've got Plasma 5.27 from the backports repository.
Unless I'm overlooking something is there anything particular interesting in the upcoming release thats worth the trouble?

>>100144896
Windows is not exactly better.
>antivirus
Antivirus does exist on linux.
The problem is that it's badness enumeration. Antivirus doesn't define what's allowed to happen, it tries to list every possible thing that you want to ban from executing. It is trivial to bypass an antivirus by just finding another way to do the same thing.

That's why MAC (i.e. apparmor/selinux) get shilled, because they define what's allowed, and you can be confident everything else will be denied.

Without a MAC, you should basically a) keep your browser always up to date, and b) exercise caution when visiting untrusted or shady URLs. The first point is especially helpful because it is very, very unlikely that someone will have a zero-day for a major browser and will waste it on some skiddie exploit on some random pirate anime streaming website or whatever. And conversely, if anyone DOES deploy a zero-day for a major browser, it'll almost certainly not get caught by an antivirus either.

>>100144896
using web browser has same remote holes as on windows, just use ublock origin on firefox and something like mullvad dns with tracking and malware blocking as fallback

>>100144722
AppArmor is way easier to navigate then SELinux and has many GUI interfaces
SELinux always came off as by gov/enterprise for gov/enterprise and everyone else be damed.

>>100144993
you have 3 more years to figure out whether you need to upgrade or not. if there's no need, there's no point. the longer you wait, the more stable each release gets.

>>100145069
That's exactly why I use it on my Gentoo system. Gentoo supports SE Linux too but AppArmor is so much easier to wrap my head around.

The apparmor-utils in particular have a very nice user-experience with aa-status, aa-logprof and aa-genprof, etc.

I don't see any reason not to use AppArmor on any system. If you're not using SELinux then you should definitely take the time to configure AppArmor. It's not difficult and works pretty well.

>>100145131
Presumably something exploiting a browser bug in its renderer or video decoder, image decoders, etc. It could be anything.

It's a vague "This thing attacks your browser".

If you're using uBlock Origin (and you should) you probably wouldn't notice these things anyway. Also, if you keep your browser up-to-date like >>100144995 said you're not going to be affected anyway because nobody is burning expensive 0days on a shitty anime shit.

>>100145147
It works fine, it just not set up at all out of the box so there are a few extra steps to get it going.

>>100145147
It works fine. The issue is Fedora has no apparmor-utils packages and their kernel >>100144667 disables it.

You shouldn't use AppArmor on Fedora but you can make it work if you want.

>>100145233
You should keep your browser up-to-date. If it's exploiting one of the libvpx bugs, etc, then that shit is already patched in any up-to-date browser.

>>100145255
that was 2023-11 if you look at the log and to my shame i was using chrome at the time. i was retarded. i use hardened firefox now

>>100145277
Well anyone that isn't retarded would be using a tweaked Firefox with UBO to browse the net.

>>100145277
Still if you keep your browser up-to-date it won't affect you. All of these anti-virus tools are reporting and stopping vulnerabilities that have already been fixed and patched. None of them are effective against genuinely unknown 0days that have yet to be discovered in the wild.

That's why things like MAC help on Linux because they say:

I use it every day and honestly I was just tired of dealing with the old thing. Yeah it's "good enough" but there's way better stuff now too.
I probably wouldn't have upgraded five years ago, but by now, the gap has grown so much that I decided to go ahead.

It's just that nobody told me that sleep mode had been removed at some point. That and the keyboard are the only two downgrades; and the keyboard is passable and I can use an external one when I'm at a desk, and I knew it ahead of time so it wasn't a dealbreaker. That's why I'm mad about the sleep.

>>100145307
im pretty sure if they do exploit the browser they rather steal your session tokens on your browser than doing something this complex

new linuxfag here do you have to format your SSD every couple of months to install the newest linux distro version or can you update it? i literally have two working braincells. if its the former isnt it a bit aids to do so?

>>100145693
linux "updates" = software updates
eg. browser, vlc, gimp, desktop, kernel updates
so no, you dont format your drive to update

>>100145419
There's probably no real difference. Browsers change their behaviour slightly in incognito/private browsing but still are probably vulnerable if they're not patched.

>>100145693

Upgrade through DNF. There's a particular command you have to do to do a sysupgrade, Google it. It's been a while since I last used Fedora.

>>100145740
the question rather was if it does get exploited can it grab your token sessions in private mode because nothing saved on there?

That depends on the nature of the exploit. If it can escape that or break out of the sandbox, etc, then it's game over either way.

theoretically yes everything stays as is in terms of your installed software and all your user files

You can hide the message like >>100142125 suggested, but you really should diagnose what is causing it. That could be bad RAM, a bad CPU memory controller, or a motherboard with a defective memory channel.
Even if it is being detected and corrected, the fact its happening every few minutes is a solid indicator of failing hardware, and you will sooner or later need to deal with it. It's best to deal with it while you have a choice rather than wait until it suddenly becomes unusable.
Start by resetting your "BIOS" configuration and running memtest for a few hours or until it reports errors.

>>100145822
whats dumpster fire about it? it has the new KDE plasma too

A bit too small, 14'' 1080p is what I wanted (and got).
Granted I could get a T430 which would be equivalent I guess.
Are there actually fully compatible GOOD 1080p LCDs, with small bezels, that can be modded in? And don't require waiting for some bespoke modkit only available from china for $69.420 when the chinese new year coincides with a blue moon?

I might keep my X230 as a personal laptop in case my job wants the new thinkpad back once I leave, mind you, so I'm not opposed to sprucing it up.

>they are made to survive 30 000 opens
The actual metallic hinge part, maybe. They are screwed into the case and held in place by an extremely thin layer of metal, and I've only ever seen it having snapped and with the entire hing itself wobbling inside its little recess in the case.
Granted I'm not a gigantic thinkpad connoisseur collector who's seen hundreds of X-series, but I've had a couple and they've all had this problem.
You also don't say anything about the general plastic case, or weight. Now I'm not one to sacrifice actual qualities for weight or shape, but new laptops are vastly more powerful WHILE being lighter and easier to carry around, use in bed, carry in a backpack, etc.

>my x230 runs at 6w casually giving me easy 8 hours of life at 80% charge with 6 cell
Huh, maybe my battery's shot, or maybe I'm just that poorly optimised. I rarely get more than 2-3 hours. TLP usually reports around 13W consumption.
How do you optimise the display?

And finally there's the whole "ssh somewhere else to do anything" thing. If you're fully committed to using a thin client, then X230 is an excellent choice honestly. But to me that's pretty much only viable on LAN, because there's no good solution for latency-adjusted typing over SSH. No, even mosh is shit, I've tried it. And if I can only use it at home, what even is the point of a laptop?

That's what kills it for me ultimately.

i haven't used kde's current printer gui, but you could try setting it up in cups directly, by going to http://localhost:631/admin and clicking "add printer", see what shows up
if nothing shows up, try visiting your printers' web interface and make sure ipp everywhere/airprint services are enabled

Hello everyone, new linux user here, using linux mint. How exactly can I automatically remove software remnants after an uninstall? Both for apt and flatpaks, they leave remnants in a multitude of hidden folders in the home folder.

So I have an Asus laptop, I had Xubuntu installed on it, it worked fine for a fair while, but then the network began to drop out all the time it became literally unusable like ever 30 seconds the connection would hang for minutes. I was sure it was a hardware issue, but then I tried a live usb and that seemed to have no issues, so I did a fresh re-install and then issue was there again, I then thought fuck it I'll try a factory reset, put windows back on it how I got it OOTB and it works fine again so I'm assuming there must be some weird flaky driver issue.

Is there a distro other than ubuntu worth trying that should be pretty stable and not have these sorts of issues or are drivers universal across distros?

You could attempt to use BTRFS, Windows has some third-party program to read BTRFS. I wouldn't do that personally because I've had numerous problems with supported Windows FS', much less a third party extension but it is an option nonetheless.

you can see what protocol was picked up by the address on the page after picking the printer
if i search for mine for example it gets picked up thrice, with 3 different protocols, DNS-SD, IPP, and LPD, i'm not an expert with printer stuff, but i believe you want to pick IPP where available, i think DNS-SD is functionally equivalent, just a different way to find it, and LPD you don't want to use unless it's the only option, it's much older. i have mine setup using IPP. you may have to pick one and go to the next page to see which one it is

>>100147157
why is it recommended to do? it makes me paranoid

>>100147121
No one forces you. Actually, you should have dont this back on windows as well.

>>100147173
Because you can be certain the ISO is the ISO its suppose to be if the hash is different its been tampered with.

>>100147121
the sha256 hash is for making sure the file you downloaded was downloaded without error. these days on a good connection the chances of having a corrupted download is quite low, but if you have trouble completing an installation that will be the first thing to check
the signature is used to verify that the file was made by the owner of the signature. if you don't know how that works or care, then you don't have to worry about that. these are useful for ensuring for example that the download server wasn't hacked and file you got modified by someone else

>>100147143
oh, usb... does the printer support lan/wifi connectivity? i'm not sure if driverless protocols are available over usb

>>100147121
I feel it's there mainly to make sure data was not corrupted. If anyone had enough access to change the ISO, they would have enough access to change SHA256 code.
I don't bother as since I prefer to download through torrent version and torrent has tons of hashes already.

>>100147173
To make sure you got the ISO file that was intended by project and has public signature anyone can see, so you can download the file from anywere and as long as the signature matches you are good, to make sure the glowies didnt make a fake server the send you a malicious iso

>>100147205
>If anyone had enough access to change the ISO, they would have enough access to change SHA256 code.
Only if both come from the same server.

>>100147205
>If anyone had enough access to change the ISO, they would have enough access to change SHA256 code.
that's why signatures are a separate thing, unlike a checksum, an attacker can't simply generate a new signature to make it seem legit, only the owner of the signatures private key can make a new signature with the same owner

>>100147203
SHA-256 is a hash, not a signature. It doesn't have an owner or a private key. So checking hash against one on the site worth only if you got ISO from the different place, but why would you do that.

>>100147203
>does the printer support lan/wifi connectivity?

you'd think so, but driverless printing was mainly made so things like smartphones can print easily, so it's a network thing. as far as printers are concerned, usb is a legacy interface

is it necessary to do if i got the ISO from their main site? like their fedoraproject site

>>100147315
if you wanna be absolutely certain the mirror you're downloading from wasn't hacked, sure
it's of course very unlikely, but it's not something that hasn't happened before (idk with fedora's mirrors specifically, i mean in general)

well someone else with more experience might have a solution for you, but as far as i've personally seen, usb printers need a driver, maybe there's one you can install for it, it's not like there's no printer-specific drivers for cups/linux, it's just that for me personally once i got a printer with ipp-everywhere (driverless/network) printing, i switched to that, one less package/driver to worry about, so i couldn't say what the current state of usb printing is really

You don't need that, just a standard interface, which is what IPP is.
I was looking into how to use my Canon multifunction printer on Arch, turns out I already had cups installed but not active. All I had to do was start/enable it, give it the printer's IP address (ipp://192.168....), and it just works.

>Unlike UNIX, graphical programs executed in a Plan 9 terminal will not launch a new window, rather, the terminal will morph into this new program. In other words, running the PDF/Image viewer page, or the web browser mothra in a terminal for instance, will in no way effect window placement. So having an initial window placement that works on your desktop, will significantly reduce the need for automatic window tiling.
any terminals can do that?

Noob here.
I have a super slow 8TB EXT4 disk being used as
storage where I have /home/ mounted I also happen to have two spare NVME

I want to create two logical volumes where one of the NVME's functions as a read cache for the slow disk. and use the OTHER nvme to form a larger logical volume bot the Operating system.

My question is, can I do this without deleting the currently existing file systems?

Why do you rave about Mint?

Not all users need or want tabs. Some users want vim-like editing, some users want to display images in their terminal. Some others want GPU acceleration, or like their terminal to drop down from the top of the screen. It's about choice.
>>100139842
Distrobox on debian is pretty solid. I use an arch container to run steam and all the dev stuff I need.
>>100148008
Other Unix-like operating systems are irrelevant for desktop (and most other) usecases and including them would only create confusion when troubleshooting. On GNU/Linux you can safely assume the presence of GNU utilities and skip a lot of guesswork. Not so much with BSD and friends. Feel free to create a friendly *nix general if you'd like to see one.

So will it be two years for KDE 6 to make it to Ubuntu LTS, or will they update it somewhere halfway?

>>100148400
If you want ubuntu LTS and KDE 6, you can use KDE neon.

>>100148400
>will they update it somewhere halfway
They won't. Too many dependencies to break.

>>100144993
Python 3.12 is the major factor for me, since I develop for it (and 3.11, which is also on 24.04).
Newer Vim...
The rest, not so much. You already have the same KDE from back ports and the snaps are exactly the same, god bless them.

>>100148448
the linux command line is a good practical guide for beginners, start there. how linux works is less practical and is more about learning the inner workings of how the system works.
start with the linux command line. if you want to read how linux works just beware it's quite a bit more advanced.

What's the point? Plasma 6 is barely that different from 5.

>>100149646
It's an upgrade in boring ways you don't immediately notice that still benefit you as a user.
Things like multi-graphics (important for laptop users with both iGPUs and DGPUs) work better and there's also better support for things like ICC profiles and HDR display output.

If you are still using Plasma 5 then you are using a dead platform. Ubuntu will have to upgrade eventually anyway they're just dithering and delaying because they don't want to do the work right now. They'd rather wait for Debian to go first, copy and paste all their packages and then ship it. If they do it now they have to do all of this work themselves. They're lazy.

Some mount options I defined in /etc/fstab are not present when I read the output of mount, for example noatime. Why? They were present in the live environment after running mkfs and mounting the partitions with those options.

Any reason to have a swap partition?
Never noticed any issue with just a swap file

>>100149741
If you want a stable platform, yes. Plasma 5 ain't getting any better, it's on life support as demonstrated by the stuff they are back-porting from Plasma 6!

>>100149746
It's useful if you have 8gb or less to prevent the occasional lock up. I would recommend upgrading your ram to 16gb or more instead to save yourself the hassle.

Also, you can't even use the LTS argument because the latest Qt LTS is Qt 6.5

>>100149759
Cry about it. That's how LTS works. Use another distro if you want newer packages. Ubuntu LTS is for corporate environments, not your personal gamer PC.

>>100149864
See: >>100149859
Qt 6.5 is LTS and it goes hand in hand with Plasma 6

>>100149881
Yeah so you don't know what you're even talking about. Ok. Typical Kubuntu user.

>>100149906
https://www.qt.io/blog/qt-6.5-lts-released

I know Kubuntu ships older and more buggier software. They were specifically asking how long it'd take to get Plasma 6. Yes, probably two years is the answer. That's normal for Ubuntu users.

Using Ubuntu LTS on the desktop is castrating yourself. You're not getting anything better and if it weren't for the backports from Plasma 6 that KDE is doing you wouldn't even be getting bug fixes either.

KDE Neon based or trash?

Is it worth installing artix over arch? is openrc / runit better than systemd in terms of speed and scripting capabilities?

What's the easiest way to make it so num lock is always on on Linux? On windows I remap all the keys of the number pad to the number keys in the row above qwerty which makes it so anytime I press a key on the number pad it corresponds to the key on the number row regardless of whether num lock is on or off. This is my preferred solution to the problem because instead of just making it so num lock is on by default on boot and it being turned off by an accidental press or something, it prevents it from being turned off ever. Is there something like this on Linux?

On Linux everytime I reboot and start using the number pad I notice it's not typing anything because the number lock is off and I have to type the whole thing again after turning it on which is very annoying. Honestly I don't even know why the num lock button even exists, I would genuinely be surprised if anyone uses the number pad on their keyboard for its directional keys instead of using to crunch numbers, especially when all keyboards nowadays have seperate directional keys anyway.

>>100150647
Unless you feel REALLY strongly about your init, I don't think it's worth bothering with.
>>100150759
In KDE it's Keyboard -> Hardware -> Numlock On Plasma setup. Most other desktop environments have it in a similar place, so look in your keyboard settings.

>>100150759
I have a bios setting for that (num lock on boot), maybe u do 2
Otherwise look in your desktop's keyboard settings. On Plasma, I can set it there as well.

I use foot, just werks. much simpler than urxvt. only had to set custom colour scheme and font in the config file. no complaints, don't need anything more from a terminal emulator.
>no emoji support
emoji support on foot comes from the emoji fonts installed on your system.
>also, dwl vs sway?
I've only had experience with sway coming from i3, it's been solid. been using it for years.
admittedly, I've no experience with dwl, or even dwm, so I can't say anything about them.
>i only want floating windows as feature
this is the case in sway, you can set a keybind to make the current focused window floating or you can add a rule so certain programs are automatically floating.

I don't want to have it turn on on startup as it's not as good of a solution as remapping the keys to the number row which makes it so it always types numbers regardless of whether num lock is on or off.

I think I should've been clearer with my question, what would be the easiest way to remap all those keys on Linux? I use both GNOME and KDE on wayland.

KDE bros....It's so over. This is my first time installing it.

MS Gothic works fine in OS, but not browser.
I've tried many fonts, unfortunately it's just the browser engines being retarded for some reason.
All fonts look blurry to me, there's no exception. It just doesn't look right at all.

Recently, I installed Slackware because I love the philosophy of it, the fact that it's the oldest distro, that has been maintained by the same guy since 1993, it has a lot of SOVL.

Despite the high skill ceiling, I gotta say I had no problems whatsoever with it so far, managed to set up a LVM over LUKS install, compiled and installed most of the programs I use, upgraded my kernel, set up a firewall, etc, etc.

Everything is going smoothly but before I continue investing more time into it, I am having second thoughts... how good is it really in terms of security, stability, compatibility, etc? Basically I'm paranoid I fell for a hipster meme without properly researching if it's still a good distro to daily drive in the current year.
