Interesting, the nice level of a process also influences its I/O priority:
>IOPRIO_CLASS_BE: This is the best-effort scheduling class, which is the default for any process that hasn’t set a specific io priority. The class data determines how much io bandwidth the process will get, it’s directly mappable to the cpu nice levels just more coarsely implemented. 0 is the highest BE prio level, 7 is the lowest. The mapping between cpu nice level and io nice level is determined as: io_nice = (cpu_nice + 20) / 5.
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/block/ioprio.html

I was wondering why there is no priority class in-between best-effort and realtime but this makes sense.

>>101953560
Why wouldn't it?

>>101953639
I was thinking the priority was set by class alone. I didn't understand the relationship between CPU nice and ionice until I read the docs.

I already got an insanely fast booting sysV setup that basically just takes the sysV binaries but doesn't do any actual "sysV'ness" - no start/stop scripts but kinda my own setup. The setup also knows how to shut down nicely.
Do I NEED to upgrade to let's say Dinit?

>>101953704
Because what you've typed means (sudo apt update) then (upgrade), rather than (sudo apt update) then (sudo apt upgrade).

>>101954037
Eh, it depends. If the system is too slow that you had to customize the init system setup (like, 20 years old or something) then don't touch it. Everything else - use standard init system, saves you the effort (and sanity) for the cost of 0.25% power.

Maybe you are confusing them being NTFS or something.

>>101955348
It protects you from malware except not really because they can keylog you or wait until a successful authentication and then execute their rootkit because most people have the sudo feature that remembers successful authentications for a bit so you don't have to enter your password again.

If you're careful with what you run and make active use of sandboxed applications (e.g flatpak, or some other jail) then it's probably fine to not have password auth.

rm -rf ~/* is equally devastating if you dont have a backup and doesnt need root

>>101955632
Most distros have at least udisks2/udiskie installed so auto-mounting of externals works like Windows. It's DE agnostic.

>>101955217
It breaks OSTree in the long run because it's layering so much stuff on top and has to compute the dependencies, etc, and sometimes can cause the system to not update anymore.

You should use it sparingly, only for system software that can't be ran in a container and therefore has to be layered.

Personally, I wouldn't bother with an immutable distro in the first place. They're a waste of time. Install the normal Fedora Workstation instead.

Really getting tired of linux, I can't lie. I'm on arch using pipewire. What the fuck do I do? And then even IF I fix my audio, my music player, ncmpcpp spontaneously stopped working as well and doesn't react to my keyboard. It's crazy.

>>101955818
well I fixed the ncmpcpp problem, apparently running mpd as a service just doesn't fucking work and breaks everything. still no audio thoughbeit

>>101955773
Normal Fedora can break, immutable can't.

>>101955929
Immutable distros absolutely can still break. The myth that they're infallible needs to stop. What you do get is easy rollbacks but you can set that up on a traditional non-immutable distribution anyway with snapshots.

>>101955891
is your mpd daemon running as the current user? and is it configured to use pipewire as the audio source instead of alsa?

>>101955397
they can just drop something in your .bashrc
or override your terminal's .desktop file and so on
keep in mind even if something is owned by root it can just be removed if the containing directory is owned by you

>>101956083
This is why sandboxed apps typically have a private home with only some directories visible (e.g Documents, Downloads, Pictures, etc, whatever the minimum it needs to function).

You're pretty much screwed if you run malware outside of a sandbox.

>>101956075
I just type 'mpd' into my terminal and then 'ncmpcpp' into my terminal and it works fine. I still have zero audio though, not just in ncmpcpp but everywhere. I don't even understand how pipewire works, there's not even a service for it or anything. It was literally working fine and all I did was unplug and replug my headphones back in. This linux shit is ridiculous, I imagined things would take time to set up or that workarounds would be needed for certain things but shit just literally breaks AFTER you spend time setting it all up. Should I not be using Arch Linux? Because this genuinely fucking sucks, I just keep thinking about all the music I could be listening to instead of tinkering with an idiot pc that should just work and not shit itself when I do something so brazenly simple as unplug a pair of headphones. What just works and isn't like this? debian?

>>101956190
Debian is a fine choice if you don't need cutting edge software. Mint is also a popular recommendation.

so ive been on arch for a month and a half now, i went in blind from a lifetime of windows, and for the most part its been fine, but, a few of the games i used to play have been having problems, and on some of them ive spent days trying to fix them to no avail, im starting to feel like maybe i bit off more than i could chew. but i definitely dont want to go back to windows, and no i dont want to dual boot either, id rather find another linux distro that i can actually play games on. or is this just the linux experience that i now have to live with?
part of me also wants to stay on arch and try to tough it out, and figure out whats wrong because for a couple of the games i can see that others run it just fine when i cant, and im assuming im just doing something wrong and itll only take a bit more learning. should i switch to a more amicable distro or stay on arch and try to continue working on this?
im not very tech savvy like a lot of you guys on here but i think ive learned a lot since ive switched and i wouldnt mind learning more but sometimes i feel a bit insecure in my own abilities.

>>101956318
Have you checked whatever games were giving you issues on ProtonDB? That's the first place to always start.

Wayland sisters, help required.
I'm using river+waybar and want to dynamically change names of tags in the config and reload them(I want to show "+2+" instead of "2" when I add view to tag 2)
The problem is I can't figure out how to make waybar reload config in proper way.
According to docs, it should be

killall -SIGUSR2 waybar

. according to reality it removes waybar window completely. which causes river to resize all other windows, then new waybar appear, river resizes all windows again. Is there a better way to tell waybar "reload the config"?
Or is there a better bar for wayland that allows it?

Ok lads, I'm on Archlinux and trying to play some older games, so I'm needing the version lib32 of gst-plugins-ugly for some of those rare codecs.
As it turns out, Arch doesn't offer that package anymore in their main repos, building it is nigh implossible given the number of unique dependencies also tend to break all the time during, including ffmpeg itself for some reason.

I have a very stupid question and I am sorry for being lazy and asking it.

How do you install a kernel driver that you compiled?

I have gpd win mini and it is great. There are small issues with it like fan is not recognized by linux. So I found a guy who wrote a kernel driver
https://github.com/Cryolitia/gpd-fan-driver
But it is for nix os and arch. I use fedora.
Compiling it and checking that it works was easy. But I can not figure out what should I do next to install it and to have it on a next update.

I also should mention that I do not actually need it because I was able to control fans using
https://github.com/nbfc-linux/nbfc-linux

So I do not really need it. It could be useful for some third party utilities in the future though.

A read-only filesystem doesn't protect you from breakage. Software still has bugs, you can still misconfigure things too.

How do I autorun a script every time my computer wakes from sleep?

>>101959058
Perhaps what he's talking about a specific kind of breakage. Like the package manager becoming decoupled from the actual state of files on the system.
But of course even if the package manager state is pristine, the software installed by it may still contain bugs so it can "break" in that regard.

Need some advice
I'm a fairly new Linux user, installed Mint on my laptop at the start of the year, and it's worked fine for general use
However, I tried to add the 500GB hard drive to steam, and it wouldn't do it
try to change permissions
>you are not the owner
try using the terminal to change ownership
>this drive is read only
try to remount the drive as read/write
>mount:bad usage
then the only resource my initial search pulled up was a guy who had misspelled his drive name. but I copied the drive name from the terminal list of drives, so that seems unlikely
any thoughts as to what I can do from here? I don't fully understand what the error means

>>101959156
Something like that can only happen if you intentionally set out to break your system. Yes, I can break my Linux like that if I wanted to. I'm not going to though.

Most package managers have tools to verify the inegrity of the filesystem matches up with what's recorded in their database.

i installed silverblue today on a spare laptop to see if i could make up my mind on immutable.
it runs well from the get go. wasnt too pleased at tweak tool being an ostree addition i had to make since theres no flatpak. gnome font size by default is gigantic, i had to lower the scale factor by .10
other than that im not really sure what to do with it.
systems are kinda boring when they just work.
but gnome being gnome, its not really a system i can recommend to people i know.

>>101959328
Everything GNOME Tweak tool does can be done through gsettings if you know the keys it changes.

i wasnt sure at the time if i was after font size or just a lower scale. now that i know it probably would be faster to dig through dconf.

Everything has of course its price, even if it's a small one: the disadvantage of this isolation is, that you can for example only add files to an e-mail message if those files are in the Downloads folder. Because for the rest, your web browser is isolated from your personal folder. Also printing web pages might fail because of this.

That's why I advise to limit this isolation to the web browser launcher that's in the panel of your desktop. That way, you can always launch a "normal" web browser from the menu.

If I understand what you're asking, the guide says not to use that:
"On some distributions of Linux, package maintainers provide unofficial, unmodified builds of Dolphin. These are listed below:

Debian and Ubuntu use a highly outdated 6-year-old build. DO NOT INSTALL DOLPHIN EMULATOR FROM APT! "

My understanding is Mint is Ubuntu based, and Ubuntu is Debian based.

Propably because these devs don't make proper new releases for some reason. Oh well, I can't really recommend to do what they recommend (No, do not just add a PPA unless you know what you're doing) so maybe you could try the flatpack version.

Is it true that updates are safer when done from tty instead of a terminal emulator?

>>101961773
It depends on what you're updating. If you don't know you should be doing offline updates, but it very rarely matters.

>>101961139
They already know this.

The real benefit of an immutable system is the security it gives you from knowing the files are unmodified and cannot be modified (without overlays).

dm-verity is better and can be used with classic systems but nobody does that except perhaps systems like Android and ChromeOS.

Does anyone know how to get GPU scaling working in KDE Wayland? On any X11 WM I can just type xrandr --output DisplayPort-0 --set "scaling mode" "Center" and get 1 to 1 pixel mapping on my display. I can not for the life of me figure out what the command is for KDE6.

>>101962153
Use Gamescope. KWin doesn't let you configure the scaling used beyond setting a factor.

>>101962238
I can't use Gamescope, I need to render the entire DE at lower then display res, and have the GPU scale the video and send my monitor a 1440P signal, like X11 and Windows can. This has nothing to do with DPI scaling.

>>101962269
Gamescope can do that. KWin outputs at the resolution you set, it doesn't support super resolution.

>>101962311
>>101962269
Another words you should set a 1440p resolution in KWin and adjust font sizes and scaling appropriately.

>>101962311
Alright now I'm curious. I need to render my Desktop at 2400x1080, and have my monitor receive a 1440P signal with 2400x1080 active pixels and the rest surrounded by a black box. As I understood it Gamescope was mainly used to scale individual programs, what do I have to do to get it to scale my entire desktop environment?

>>101962315
This isn't for DPI scaling. This is for what Intel, NVidia, and AMD call GPU scaling. Shitty image but essentially I want whats on the left of the image.

>>101962357
Make a Wayland session file with:

Exec=/usr/bin/gamescope -w 2400 -h 1080 -W 2400 -H 1080 -- /usr/bin/startplasma-wayland

I haven't tested it but it should work. Why can't you set 2400x1080 in KWin though? If this is about overscan/underscan then you can adjust that.

>>101962398
Because my monitor scales it to 1440P, and pretty much all monitors don't do nearest neighbor/integer scaling. The result is super blurry. For normal desktop use I do use 1440P, but I'm streaming my screen to a phone that's 2400x1080, and the scaling on the phone is terrible unless I send exactly 2400x1080 or 1920x1080. But again setting that res makes the monitor look awful, so on X11 I could just enable GPU scaling and have a 1440P signal with 2400x1080 surrounded by black bars while my GPU is actually rendering super wide 1080P. Windows does the same thing as X, to be honest I'm shocked its not in KWin yet.

Got a Steam Deck OLED and I've been trying Witcher 3 with HDR on and it looks gorgeous, but I've been wondering, is there any way to use HDR with emulators and DX9/Vulkan games? There are some tools but I don't know how to properly set them up
>SpecialK Retrofit and the AutoHDR mod both need dgVoodoo2 to work on games with an API older than DX10,
anyone knows how to use dgvoodoo2 on Linux and then applying these after that? I have no clue about Vulkan and that's what most emulators use in the Steam Deck, do I need to use Lutris/ProtonTricks/Steamtinkerlaunch? please help a retard like me, here are some links
SpecialK HDR retrofit: https://wiki.special-k.info/en/HDR/Retrofit
AutoHDR toggle for Steam Deck: https://github.com/JediRhymeTrix/deck-toggle-autohdr

>>101962550
With KDE you just modify the command line to run:

env ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1 -- %command%

I assume the Deck is a bit more streamlined though and doesn't require any additional configuration?

I would guess the problem is mods not playing nicely? I don't know what dgvoodoo2 is. Titles with native HDR should just work.

You can inject HDR on unsupported games and with that command? This is what I'm trying to do
>Using SpecialK Retrofit or AutoHDR toggle for DX10 games and onwards to add HDR to games that don't have it
The problem is that SpecialK and the AutoHDR toggle don't work with Vulkan, the API that most gaming console emulators are using nowadays, I'm trying to figure out how to bypass this restriction
> I don't know what dgvoodoo2 is
"dgVoodoo 2 is a graphics wrapper that converts old graphics APIs to Direct3D 11 or Direct3D 12 (as of version 2.7) for use on Windows 7 or newer. The wrapper fixes many compatibility and rendering issues when running old games on modern systems as well as enables the use of various overrides and enhancements, and third-party tools such as ReShade to enhance or improve the gaming experience."
This is necessary if you want to run DX9 and older games with these Reshade/HDR tools, but I don't know how to set it up on Linux.

>>101962840
Gamescope has some Reshade support. I don't know how good it is but you may want to see if that works for you. All of these mods are never going to be as good as native HDR though, they're just software mods to lighting and colours, etc.

Nice. What is it?

>>101964568
It's called 'defence in depth' which is the whole point UNIX has different user accounts in the first place (besides the time-sharing aspect by real human beings).

If malware manages to break out of the sandbox then it immediately gains root. If you had a local user account then that wouldn't be the case. Admittedly, the chances of this happening are slim though because the sort of people that have malware like that wouldn't want to burn it on you. It'd take a very serious browser bug for this to be an issue.

I'm trying to install mint 22 on my PC and the installer gets stuck at pic related. I was using this PC up until like 15 minutes ago with no issues on a windows 10 install.
I removed every hard drive except for the nvme where I want to install mint, and I chose to fully erase the disk and install mint since I don't have any data I want to keep.
The first time the installation process got stuck I restarted the PC, and when I tried installing mint again it said "there's already a mint install on this PC" so I guess SOMETHING got copied.
Any ideas anons? Anything I can do to try and get this installed? Thanks

>>101967341
Nevermind, apparently you need to disable fast boot for Mint to install (???????
I find it fascinating that a BIOS setting that only affects boot time can silently prevent a live system to install to an ssd, I guess I'm old and I still see the BIOS as something "outside" the OS.

Why didn't you fa/g/s tell me Mint was so good? Long time user of Ubuntu for stable and Arch for bleeding edge. Installed linux mint, everything works, download a few programs, perfection. Never have to fuck with it again and can do other things.

Fast boot (firmware, not Windows) skips initialization and function checks of some devices that are assumed to be initialized and/or reset by the OS anyway (may also skip things like the "press del to enter setup" screen, which is extra annoying). Some device/OS combinations don't work too well like that, especially when hibernation/Windows Fast Startup is involved, which is why for dual booting it is heavily recommended to disable both (and reboot twice).

>I guess I'm old and I still see the BIOS as something "outside" the OS.
It's just software used to reconfigure the platform prior to booting.

Mint is an honest effort but ultimately is trying to fix what was ultimately ruined by the current GTK cult. They have at least 10 years more of leeway before Ubuntu and Debian drop GTK3 (they still have GTK2 around and that hasn't received a direct upgrade in around that same time, after all) but is going to be hard. I wish they gave LxQt a chance.

Do people who use linux in their free time have actual jobs? Imagine spending your free time manually updating everything. I'd kill myself.

>try disabling secure boot in uefi
Thank you, anon.

>>101973441
np. you can do secure boot in linux i believe, but it may require additional steps, like putting a new signing key into your uefi or something
or just leave it off, you don't really need it. all it does is prevent unauthorised os's from booting, which if you don't know why that would be useful, you don't need it

This behaviour is called kinetic scrolling. It depends on the application. Libinput supports it but individual applications have to enable it. It works in Firefox.

I need help manually partitioning Ubuntu 24.04. Since I'm creating this VM in Virtualbox it'll use BIOS mode (EFI still experimental). When I let Ubuntu automatically partition it wants to create an MBR partition table (see pic), I'd prefer GPT and want to manually partition it to my preferences.
> /boot (flag: boot, ext4, 4096 MiB)
> / (ext4/luks, rest of the storage)
Are these settings correct? I know if I use EFI I need to create a FAT32 partiton with a /boot/efi mount point and efi flag. I'm not certain about BIOS though.

>>101973537
to use GPT with a BIOS you need to have a grub bios boot partition (not related to /boot), 1MiB in size is plenty
it simply provides somewhere for grub to put some code in there to allow GPT to be booted from a BIOS, which normally does not support GPT

>>101973537
>>101973579
and to be clear, all this means is making a 1MiB partition of type EF02
the reason this is necessary is because while GPT reserves the first sector for safe interoperability with systems that don't understand it (by default making a fake mbr to make the disc appear like a full mbr drive rather than risk appearing empty), GPT uses the space after it, which is where grub would normally place its' stage 2 loader, so this partition provides said space instead

Smooth scrolling
works in mint kde

>>101973621
Thank you, this seems to work, only the Ubuntu wizard forces me to make it 8MiB instead of 1MiB. I have another question: When I let Ubuntu format it automatically, it'll set the boot flag to the unencrypted 4GiB partition, but mount the luks2 partition under /boot. What is the reason for this?

>>101973861
>the Ubuntu wizard forces me to make it 8MiB instead of 1MiB
eh, doesn't matter, even 1MiB is overkill and you usually just want to pick whatever aligns best with your storage device. the actual payload being put on it is like 30k
>When I let Ubuntu format it automatically, it'll set the boot flag to the unencrypted 4GiB partition, but mount the luks2 partition under /boot. What is the reason for this?
i'm not familiar with what the ubuntu installer will do, i haven't used ubuntu since 2011

You need to enable RPMFusion for hardware accelerated decoding as they don't ship with many codecs by default.
Also i wholeheartedly recommend ditching PackageKit. Useless garbage that slows the system down.

I guess theoretically if an update instantly broke your GUI it would be safer to update from TTY? Like what happened with LTT. But it's not really necessary, especially since you will just get booted to the TTY anyway if all your GUI breaks.

Can I install kde (wayland) on debian? When I check its deps it mentions xorg. Is disabling recommends during install enough to use just wayland?

Has anyone used Asahi Linux? The M1 chip is interesting to me but I don't want to use MacOS, I thought that Asahi was purely a dualboot thing but it seems like you can make it the default boot option and basically never interact with MacOS? Am I understanding this correctly?

>>101976044
No, because Debian compiles KWin with both X11 and Wayland support. You need X11 anyway for XWayland support to run legacy applications.

To use Wayland simply select it from your login screen. You probably want to use the X11 session though. Debian's version of KDE is completely out-of-date (except in the Experimental repos) and lacks important bug fixes.

>>101976261
I was planning a lighter install without all the tens of programs from a normal kde install. Can you recommend a distro for that? Or is switching to testint branch enough to achieve what I want?

>>101976360
Gentoo or Arch

Gentoo if you really want the ability to build KWin without X11 (you want have XWayland support though, so no legacy applications)

>>101976360
NTA - I just moved from gnome to kde with a new OS install the other day and it was a breeze with arch. Per the wiki installed plasma-meta and have added a few apps since such as dolphin, fwenview, kdegraphics-thumbnailers

>>101976360
KDE Neon does not ship with almost any software. The only issue is that full disk encryption does not work because of a bug.

>>101976435
>>101976527
Would the manjaro implementation of kde do the trick? I've seen people complaining about its stability over time. Also what do you think of kde neon? It supposedly receives faster kde updates/fixes compared to other distros
>>101976595
Now I am tempted to give it a try

It seems the manjaro build is offered in minimal and full variant

Why did Asahi switch from Arch to Fedora?

>kde neon
No idea, I'm bought into Arch for other reasons and just wanted a desktop environment that works and got out of my way. So far so good.

>>101976774
I hope that's going to work out for me the same way it did for you then considering manjaro is based on arch. Never actually tried it before

I can't take it anymore. libavcodec just doesn't want to stay in it's fucking place. Audio is almost entirely bricked. I fucking hate package management. God give me strength to keep moving forward and not be retarded. The same shit happened months ago except this time PipeWire seems somehow broken, too. EVERYTHING IS FUCKED. EVERYBODY SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!

Bros, does any of you like to download songs? I've read that an 128kbps m4a is equal to an 192kbps mp3. So, to save some space, what would be the easiest solution to convert my mp3 files to m4a, preserving the quality?

>>101976150
I refuse to use asahi ever since that retard dev decided to bash the hyprland dev instead of trying to work with him to fix the issues when he fully knows vaxry cant do much to fix the issues on his own when hes been gatekept by the troon mafia

>>101977288
Try immutable distros. Maybe you can benefit from that stability

>>101977295
You don't. Lossy to lossy won't grant you better quality. Redownload as lossless and convert to lossy if that's your end goal

Is there some log somewhere that can tell me anything that speech dispatcher has played

>>101977295
>what would be the easiest solution
m4a is a container (mp4), you would be converting mp3 to AAC which you cannot do without data loss because both codecs are lossy.
If you really care about quality and space, find the song in lossless quality (WAV or FLAC it doesn't matter) and convert to 128k opus, it blows both AAC and mp3 out of the water and it's smaller in size.

>>101977371
>>101977431

ffmpeg, if you're on Linux you probably already have it installed

There is no reason to use Manjaro when EndeavourOS exists. Manjaro is known for having issues with the AUR because of its delayed update model and it deliberately removed h264 hardware acceleration from Mesa. EndeavourOS is just pre-configured Arch without all this retardation.

You know, I think I quite like linux mint. Lots of sane configs and it allows me to uninstall 80% of the preinstalled programs. I was also impressed by its gestures configs. Only annoyance are the programs in the accessories category that are all required by a meta package meaning I might break something if I force my way. But we are talking about a calculator, disk manager, archive manager and the likes so it's not end of the world either. I can imagine myself using them at least once a month. I only have to figure out how to uninstall Pix without breaking anything

>>101978527
I don't understand why this isnt already set as a default in most distros already
Why are sane defaults too difficult?

>>101978720
Thanks, gonna try testdisk. Hope it works. Although luckily there's nothing super essential on this drive.
