Hello, fellow Linux operating system users.

Have you experienced frustrations with Nvidia drivers? Failed module builds? Forced upgrades to unstable branches? Black screens after kernel updates? You might be surprised to know, that most of these are not issues with Nvidia drivers themselves, but rather the way your distribution (or a third party) handles Nvidia driver deployment.

With Red Hat® Enterprise Linux®, you simply add the CUDA repo, pick the branch that you want and enjoy a pre-built, tested kernel module. No unnecessary dependencies, no DKMS build failures, no reliance on third party packages. Try the free* Red Hat® Developer Subscription today!

>Any recommends surrounding linux when it comes to gaming?
Don't use a meme distro stick to one of the popular ones like Arch, Mint and Fedora.
Get an AMD GPU, it's gonna save you a few gray hairs in the long run.
Turn off the igpu it causes fuckery with things like mangohud.
If you have a small OS drive get a bigger one, installing games on other drives is easy but other things not so much.
Familiarize yourself with one of the backup tools on Linux and get an external SSD or just a sata to USB cable with a spare drive so you don't fuck your self over, that's about it.

i've been trying out btrfs for awhile, and there's not really much benefit into using it over ext4 in my opinion for a single disk, maybe the snapshots and subvols but both can be done with lvm
on a related note, is there a way to calculate the size of a btrfs subvol other than "btrfs filesystem du"?

if im going to use a shared ntfs partition for windows and linux (separate ssds), would i be better off creating the partition in windows on the windows ssd then mounting the partition on linux, or create the partition in linux and do the opposite? i feel like mounting the partition from windows would be much harder and i would risk deleting everything else on the linux ssd in windows updates

>>102012643
It won't really matter what you use to create the partition, I personally would format it from windows, then windows will map (linux will mount) it the same way in either case.

Cope harder. They are Nvidia issues. They're the result of them not keeping up with kernel updates and being too slow to act. It's hard being a billion dollar AI money making machine. All of your development has to be done at a snails pace in secret and you can forget about timely updates.

There's nothing wrong with AppArmor. It's extremely easy to make a profile to deny access to ~/.mozilla for everything except Firefox.

SELinux is more difficult but still doable. You create a policy and label all of the files in your ~/.mozilla and only Firefox is allowed access to the context.

Doubt it, but maybe if you're a lisper already. Nix is terrible, the compiler errors are worthless, there's absolutely no autocomplete, and the language itself is strange. I still picked nix because guix doesn't even have up to date Firefox in the repo.

>>102008440
ok, i have a major problem i'm hoping someone here can help solve.


i have no idea why, however mpv and by extension many of its frontends keeps slowing down rapidly until it comes to a complete halt after around an hour of usage. it happens seemingly at random intervals. if you use it for a good while eventually it will start to stutter, then it will get really choppy, then eventually it will cease to even load videos.

vlc while technically better than mpv, its ui is pretty bad imo. i like to change playback speed very frequently, going trough menus for that core function just isn't it.

its not a matter of hardware limits or anything; it acts like you'd expect if it was running something like a game loop and a sleep statement was being incremented inside it. even the ui becomes unusable because of how long it takes to actually do anything.

uninstalling/reinstalling mpv does nothing. deleting everything associated with mpv in its entirety does nothing. restoring from a timeshift backup from when it worked fine does nothing.
disabling/enabling hwdec does nothing, nor does any other attempt to try and solve it.

even reinstalling my distro(mint, tried others and no diff) doesn't work 100% of the time. though usually it does, ive only had it persist twice.
ive found that completely overwriting your hard disk with 0s is the only way to reliably prevent the issue from persisting and even then it just keeps happening for me.

the only error message it gives out on the console/repl is a a/v desync. its not even accurate, because whenever it does grace me with a frame its perfectly in sync with the audio.

another weird thing, if you have mpv and celluloid at the same time, sometimes one shows this issue but the other is fine.

given all the above put together, i think its one of the dependencies having some condition relating to time or network-accesed resource is borked but thats entirely my speculation.
>>
>>102018015
Something like this?

ip saddr { 0.0.0.0/0 } drop
ip saddr { 192.168.0.0/24 } accept
>>
>>102018109
thanks
>ip saddr { 0.0.0.0/0 } drop
does that drop the entire range of ipv4 addresses?
>>
>>102018134
It does, yes.
>>
>>102018102
Ack, you might want to further diagnose this issue and discard any potential hardware problems. I'm thinking it might have to do with output configuration.

1. First I suggest you switch to a X11 session (in case you're in Wayland) and run mpv with the xv driver by running
mpv -vo xv file.mp4

If it fixes then you might want to read the mpv manual and select a driver that matches your hardware (vdpau, vaapi, idk)
You can also test disabling audio with
-ao null


2. You might want to discard any possible misconfiguration by booting a livecd and try mpv there.

3. You might also want to double check I/O by using a different storage device

4. Finally, you could try combining the above to try to spot the issue, you can also use a different GPU
>>
>>102018147
>>102018134
Also I think that may include localhost so you'd want:
ip saddr { 127.0.0.1/8, 192.168.0.0/24 } accept

Hey guys, I have been on linux for a couple weeks now. I just dug my 6950xt out of the closet and swapped it for the 4080 Super that I’ve been using. Am I gonna get better performance now lol. Mostly kidding but do I need to totally wipe the Nvidia drivers first or can I just uninstall that Nvidia app from my software manager in Zorin (Ubuntu). Also, do I actually have to install the AMD drivers from their website or did other people make better ones. I heard something about errors with AMD official drivers last year for ubuntu.
I am just curious how well AMD plays with linux because I was using FSR anyways with the 4080 in most games so why not try AMD?
This will be a good test to see if I want whatever the next gen 7900xtx is, hopefully it’s $999.

>Am I gonna get better performance now lol

No, you don't need to install AMD drivers, they're bundled with the OS and they just work
>I am just curious how well AMD plays with linux because I was using FSR anyways with the 4080 in most games so why not try AMD?
They work perfectly, just don't expect FSR and other fancy shit, that's for Windows only afaik, other anons feel free to correct me
>>

FSR just works, it's a feature of games. You can enable it for any game, even those that don't have support using Gamescope which is a micro compositor that has FSR upscaling built-in to it.

No. If you don't have any services running then it's just sitting there doing nothing.

It could conceivably protect you from random shit applications that decide to open a web server listening on all interfaces (instead of localhost) but you shouldn't be running that in the first place and no application installed via your distributions repositories should be doing that (if you see that, report it as a bug).

I have three hard drives.
One harddrive boots Linux Mint.
One harddrive boots Windows 10.
A third harddrive is formatted into one partition, ntfs filesystem.

I want to use the third harddrive as a data share that I can access from both Linux and Windows.
I'm mounting it using the UUID. This is working fine.
What is not working are the permissions.
When I move files onto the share drive, the permissions appear to become 777.
This is mostly inconsequential, because I can still open and edit things without needing to elevate.
However, for the .txt files (which I work with frequently), being marked as "executable" causes linux to prompt me EVERY SINGLE TIME I open one as to whether I want to run or display it.

How do I fix the mount permissions?
I assume this is an fstab setting, something that should replace "defaults", as chown and chmod don't work - the permissions instantly revert to 777.

Frankly, it's a mystery. Supposing it's a malware, no one will know until the attacker decides to do something. Is he waiting for the userbase to grow? No one knows. He could've clarified everything, but he chose not to do it. Even his identity is just "ventoy admin". It's all this darkness that leads people to suspicion, after the xz fiasco.

Personally, I have no use for multiple ISOs. So, if I have a thumb drive with Ventoy, then the same device could be used for system A. If I want to test system B, then I just overwrite it. No big deal. You don't need N devices N systems. One is enough.

Is your local net really a globally routable one???? Usually people don't have to do anything as they are in a private net.
But oh well, here's a basic "don't answer anyone" rule set:
flush ruleset
table inet my_table {
chain my_input {
type filter hook input priority filter; policy drop;
iif "lo" accept comment "Localhost"
ip saddr { 192.168.1.0/24, 169.254.0.0/16 } accept
ip6 saddr f000::/4 accept
ct state invalid drop comment "Invalid connections"
ct state established,related accept comment "Traffic originated from us"
ip protocol icmp icmp type { destination-unreachable, router-advertisement, router-solicitation, time-exceeded, parameter-problem } accept comment "ICMP"
}
chain my_forward { type filter hook forward priority filter; policy accept; }
chain my_output { type filter hook output priority filter; policy accept; }
chain prerouting { type nat hook prerouting priority filter; policy accept; }
}

>192.168.1.0/24
Change it to whatever you got.
>f000::/4
Don't worry, it just lumps together a bunch of all kinds of local broadcast type of IPs. Everything that starts with "f" can't be from le internets.

I also wish it wasn't this hard to find a traditional distros that is semi supported since Ubuntu shat the bed hard, something that isn't Gentoo and doesn't self destruct with any minor update. Debian is the closest thing, and so was Opensuse Leap but that's on its way out.
Fedora was this close, but they don't provide LTS kernels at all and every other week there's some annoying regression for laptops. At this rate there will be only SystemD-less distros for this use case.
Debian itself has its own unpleasant bits too, to be honest. Tons of things you basically have to do yourself down to a chroot environment like if it was Arch.

>>102021081

Also if you want Fedora with an LTS kernel you can compile it yourself or use the RPMs from CentOS or one of the RHEL forks. The kernel package usually has minimal dependencies so this is something you should be able to install just by downloading the rpm and doing a

If you said Nvidia is slow at implementing Wayland, then you'd have a point. X11 just works. By the time Xorg gets removed from LTS distros, Wayland will also just work.

>>
>>102022770
Wake up, it's 2024, Wayland is no longer an experimental thing. It's the default display server for GNOME and a lot of distros also ship KDE with Plasma Wayland as default now too.

I'm not even talking about bleeding edge distributions either. GNOME has had Wayland by default for years now. It's the default in RHEL even.

Wayland is experimental for Nvidia, because they've been slow with implementing it. It has been default on RHEL since version 8, but not if you install the Nvidia driver, which still defaults to Xorg. Next year RHEL 10 comes out with Xorg removed, which (like any RHEL release) will take a few more years to mature enough to get people to start moving to it. RHEL 9 is supported until 2032-2035, so there's no real rush for Nvidia in the enterprise space, but Fedora's upcoming release will be the first to remove Xorg, so they'll have plenty more shit on their plate. Also, KDE is not officially a thing in RHEL/SUSE, so KDE bugs automatically come with a lower priority.

To clarify what I mean by saying their identical, rule 1 and 3 have the same matching definition in the chain, (simply -o eth1), meaning rule 3 will never ever get executed because rule one will always get matched first in the chain.

Qemu is being a huge unhelpful turbo nigger. How exactly am I supposed to pass some random usb device to a guest:
- WITHOUT LIBVIRT
- WITHOUT ROOT
I can already do that easily with the two above but now I'd like to know how to do it with just qemu and a non root user. It's pretty hard to find a clear answer because everything assume you're running root. Right now I'm investigating udev rules but without much success.

you'd probably want to use a udev rule to adjust the permissions of said usb device so a normal user can access it

Serious question, why would you install those as snaps/flatpaks to begin with? If you're trying to develop with them there are a bunch of runtime versioning tools you can use already or you could be using dev containers (distrobox, toolbox, roll your own) if you prefer that. Whats the use case?

>Whats the use case?
Just works. I just type `sudo snap refresh` and it updates all of them, if necessary.

Anyway my point is that I don't get why people hate Snaps so much. I think they are sometimes useful. If you can get a deb version then sure, use that, because it should be quicker to open, because it's not compressed. But sometimes a program isn't released as a deb, and in those cases I think Snaps are fine. Flatpaks are fine too, sure, if you can find what you want on Flathub.
>>
>>102026563
>Snaps just work though
Not on Kubuntu or Lubuntu. Unless they changed it specifically in 24.04, you can't open a graphical store or menu to update your snaps like on Ubuntu. Only autoupdates work but those take hours and it's very obtuse, like when you have a fresh install with a super outdated snap browser and you can't find a way to update it since Discover can't do it. The only way is the terminal.
>>
>>102026704
Oh yeah I'm not the guy you replied to I was just curious why people would install languages that way. Personally I'm not too fond of snaps because they create a bunch of loopback devices and clutter the output of certain commands. I'm sure there's a good reason they have it setup that way but I dont want to deal with it if I don't have to.
>>
>>102026810
>Not on Kubuntu or Lubuntu. Unless they changed it specifically in 24.04, you can't open a graphical store or menu to update your snaps like on Ubuntu.
Fair enough I haven't used those, but I don't use graphical stores anyway
>Only autoupdates work but those take hours and it's very obtuse, like when you have a fresh install with a super outdated snap browser and you can't find a way to update it since Discover can't do it. The only way is the terminal.
All it takes is running `sudo snap refresh` in the terminal and it will update any snaps that aren't updated.

>>102026820
>I was just curious why people would install languages that way
If you're doing a lot of work with a language then sure it would probably make sense to install a version manager so you get finer control, but if I'm just messing around with a language then Snaps are convenient I think. Also another thing I just looked up is Skype. There is a Flatpak of Skype but it looks like it's not official. The Snap of Skype is official, from Microsoft. So personally I'd be more inclined to trust it.

Where do I begin to learn philosophy and best-practices for package generation.

I'm starting to make my own private alpine apk packages. There's documentation about the tooling, but I find the guidance on how to structure packages to be a bit lacking.

No unless they're extensively experienced. They'd have to troubleshoot for potentially hours or have to rely on tech support if they can't.

As a spin-off of the above snaps question, what is the best style of OS package management?
- rolling: up-to-date software, but hard to pin versions if you don't want to upgrade
- point: less chance of new versions causing issues, but you lag on features
- source: like gentoo, requires compilation but highly flexible
- parallel versioning: I don't know the actual name for this model, but things like NixOS, where multiple versions of any given package can be installed simultaneously, so each application can have its dependency versions vary from those of others. Seems to offer the easiest way to control software versioning, but I assume runs the risk of having outdated/insecure packages linger
- something else?
