I am a little ootl, besides packages being compiled with the x86-64-v3 instruction set, does it have any other differences to arch?
In other words, are the packages just recompiled versions of arch packages with x86-64-v3?

>>102065559
>>102065574
Does it happen only in 4chan or in any text input field?

>>102065604
it appears to default to cachOS repos that are all compiled at V3 level.
vanilla arch repos are also included that are the fallback.
it includes loads of AUR software so you don't have to go find it after the fact when you need it.

>>102065682
So they are indeed just recompiles of Arch's packages...
In that case one could install stuff from CachyOS in Vanilla Arch for the x86-64-v3 boost.

It happens when you hover the cursor over a reply. The box that comes up lags when it moves. Like I said, it isn't a real problem but it's weird that it only happens on a specific browser when that addon is installed

I've been trying out distros on an external SSD to eventually switch out of windows since I've heard gaming on linux has gotten good and It's the main thing holding me back. I've had issues like heavy stuttering in games, crashes or horrible performance when alt-tabing out when game is running. How likely is it for these to be related to running the OS out of an external SSD?

>>102065836
>How likely is it for these to be related to running the OS out of an external SSD?
Honestly I don't believe that's the reason, i've run a Linux distros off a USB flash drive even.

Since you tried different distros, does this happen in all or just in some?
What are you running btw?

>>102065760
My bad, i guess i misread.
In that case, I'm not sure what could be, hope someone else sees these replies and helps you.

>>102065892
Thanks. If anyone is wondering, I did set up the combination of addons on a fresh profile and the same thing happened. I even disabled every other addon besides violent monkey and bitwarden. Just tried the keeppassxc addon and it doesn't have the problem. Might consider moving to that. I have been wanting to avoid all cloud services, though I do like bitwarden

>>102065870
Right now I'm trying Linux Mint, the alt-tabbing thing happens on Vampire Survivors, and the stuttering and crashes have happened on heavier games like Metro Exodus or Yakuza 0. This also happened when I tried EndeavourOS.
Thinking it was about the external SSD was pretty much hopeful thinking anyway, i'm guessing it has to do with using a Nvidia GPU, even though I'm using the proprietary driver

>>102065601
They all left when systemd entered.

>>102065964
What GPU is it? I had worse performance on >manjaro with a 1070 than on windows 10. Once I switched to an AMD GPU, gaming has been perfect and the only games that have problems, are poorly optimized ones that run like shit on windows as well, like dragons dogma 2

There is no documentation for kernel system calls. Only the GNU libc blob is documented.

I'm using Celluloid. Is there any benefit using mpv or am I fine already?

>>102066687
Celluloid is libmpv with a GNOME shell around it.
I've seen some people say it's more heavy then default mpv, but that's kinda it.

>>102067576

>>102065510
This is kind of a dumb question, but basically I want to make a live distro USB where the extra space on the USB can be used as regular storage space.
How do?
I mean, how do without some specialized program that does that.
Just using the basic tools available in any Linux, how do I do that assuming I have a USB stick, an iso, and a basic bitch linux running.

Additional info that probably isn't relevant but still might be: It's a secondary drive with 1 partition that I could access before, I did have to manually mount it this time (an issue I've had on and off in the past), and it's worked before booting back into Windows

>>102067685
>posted additional info but nothing else
Fuck me.
tl;dr I have a drive that I'm being refused access to. I think it's something to do with the ownership of the drive being fucked somehow (it's an NTFS drive) after booting into my Windows Partition but I have no idea how to fix it. Any ideas?

>>102067683
Should be able to just use parted or similar to add a partition after the bootable parts

>>102067714
>>102067685
How is this a Linux issue?

inb4 you are dualbooting and your ntfs partition is locked due hibernation aka "fastboot"

>>102067767
I'll look into it.
Thanks. I wasn't exactly sure what keywords I should search for.

>>102067646
Rebooted but it didn't work. What would happen if I reverted the Linux kernel..? Or is there a way to downgrade my nvidia driver?

>>102067683
Anon, there is nothing preventing you from just copy-pasteing your files into the live partition in your USB drive.

>>102067789

Summary is
> make bootable media however you plan
> lsblk
> sudo parted /dev/sdX
> p
> mkpart

Start it at the end of the last partition, end at 100%

> sudo mfks.btrfs /dev/sdXY

parted will be called parted in your package manager, btrfs-progs is for mkfs.btrfs. if you want to use with android or some shit too then you'll want ext rather than btrfs iirc

Is GNOME the best DE you can use if you want to run desktop Debian on a laptop? I need something with plug and play support for external monitors.

>>102067834
>btrfs
Why would you recommend a CoW FS for a USB Flash drive?

You are insane.

>>102067838
I don't even know how to begin to break down your post.

There is no "best" DE, it depends on a couple of things but ultimately your personal preference.

Debian defaults to GNOME. But you can use others like KDE, which might be even more useful depending on your case. There is no "best" and if there was you would need to specify what you mean by "best"

>>102067838
Support for external monitors with laptops comes from graphics card drivers. Any DE would be able to do this fine.

>>102067845
Compression.

>>102067961
Dude you are giving instructions to someone who apparently did not even know that you could create multiple partitions.
Do you actually believe they will manually mount that BTRFS partition with the compression option?

Also, no, i bet the guy does not even care about compression.

>>102065510
To any Gentoofags: how practical is it to stick with an older release of a DE? I'm thinking about installing Gentoo and masking off Plasma 6 for a while. I know Gentoo is pretty good with mix-and-matching packages, but how does that apply for deprecated packages that are no longer offered? Would it be a maintenance nightmare? I'm currently on Kubuntu (which will have Plasma 5 for the next several years), but I'm wondering if Gentoo is a viable alternative for this. It looks like Plasma 6 is going to be landing in the stable branch of Gentoo very soon, so I'd hate to waste my time installing it and masking things off just for it to be an untenable configuration.

>>102067884
Anything that's given a shit by Upstream instead of rotting i.e. Cinnamon on OpenSuse vs Plasma (the later is way better maintained there).
>>102067906
I know, but is less buggy on certain DEs from my limited testing.

>>102067998
it's not exactly difficult to use a mount flag, and doing so is beneficial for more than just space; also performance (CPU time is cheaper than drive io) and longevity. I'd expect (perhaps naively) someone to google shit an internet random recommends they do.

>>102068057
>Anything that's given a shit by Upstream instead of rotting
Then Plasma, GNOME and LXQT are basically your only options.
XFCE devs are spread too thin, anything else like WMs are hobby projects that get abandoned sooner or later.

>>102068081

Where might I learn more this?
I love XFCE, and if it's that hard up, I'de be willing to at least look into helping out.

>>102068073
>I'd expect (perhaps naively) someone to google shit an internet random recommends they do.
You expectations are far too high then. Really focus on the person you are answering towards and make a picture in your head.

Anyways, CoW FS is a terrible choice for a USB flash drive, the lack of a FTL means that you are killing it. Also for a random that probably only wants said USB space to store files that work in every PC they find it's also counterproductive.

They did not know what partitioning is, they most likely do not know the differences between filesystems.
They probably carry a USB with a DD'd Ubuntu live iso which means the rest of the USB is used in windows and others.

exfat would be the best choice (for them), probably.

>>102068133
>Where might I learn more this?
I wish i could help with that, but personally i am not involved with XFCE
Check this:
https://xfce.org/getinvolved
https://forum.xfce.org/

I do know that some of the core devs have stated this before, which is why there is usually a two year lapse (or more) between point releases.

I'm using Mint 22 and I want to change the bit depth and sample rate of audio, how do I do this?

I need help with the ranger file manager. I want to do these two things.
>select a bunch of files from various depths of directories (i.e. go into a folder and select files, then move to .. and go into another folder and select files) and then yank/cut them all at once
Right now I can only yank one directories files at a time, if I call yank from anywhere else it just yanks the file my cursor is under.

>after a yank and if more files are toggled, don't append but restart the toggle list, then yanking just grabs the new selection
Right now I have to keep quitting and restarting ranger to not get confusing behavior. yanking a selection and then creating another selection and yanking that still leaves the previous selection yanked. For example, If I am copying and pasting files and I forget a file in my selection, in order not to paste the entire thing 2x + that one file, I would need to restart ranger. I just don't want this functionality

hello I just thought I'd post some info. Probably pointless on an ephemeral place like this, but whatever. I have been having a miserable time with Bluetooth ever since updating to 24.04 LTS. I have a "TP-Link UB500 Adapter" according to dmesg which has never given me issues before. Anyways, my headphones stopped working right in 24.04, and I was only able to select low quality bluetooth profiles from pavucontrol that made the audio sound like garbage. The headphones worked fine on my macbook and windows laptops, and on the same machine running linux with windows (and of course, before upgrading to 24.04).

After some sleuthing, I saw this in journalctl

Now i wish i had any animation and writing skills...
I can see them doing some crazy adventure with maybe Xue while being smaller and less athletic is extremely wise and Konqi being more athletic (and bigger) but a bit childish.
They could be on a quest bc the village in which they live(there could be other mascots in there) needs something otherwise a bad thing could happen and obviously the villain, which i guess is now GNOME in a troll-like attitude tries to sabotage them, the drama could be ramped up and it could even got a little in depth into the intentions of the GNOME showing how it used to be happy and friends with everyone but things fell apart and he grew resentful.

I tried all manner of shit, restarting pipewire, manually setting profiles with CLI, trying to reconnect my headphones a dozen times, etc. Then out of desperation I just disconnected and reconnected the bluetooth adapter, and it worked first try. So they probably introduced some regression in bluez or whatever the abysmal bluetooth stack on linux is these days (I hate how linux goes through periods of stability and then massive, horrible regression -- thanks pipewire and wayland devs). I haven't tried it yet but restarting the bluetooth daemon might also work.

Anyways fuck the bluetooth stack on linux, and if you have problems, especially if you use the same TP-Link adapter, maybe just disconnect and reconnect the adapter. Good luck fellow timewasters

I think those instructions are for pulseaudio and the latest Ubuntu LTS has pipewire. At least I am missing some of those PA utils. I know pulseaudio kind of runs on top of pipewire, I don't really understand that fucking convoluted shit. Anyways, I don't really want to run arch - while I've done that before, its not worth the headaches for me (no, running `pacman -Syu` or whatever every few weeks was not easy and braindead).

I'm happy on debian and ubuntu, I just wish bluetooth wasn't such a shit show and they didn't keep changing core components drastically without thorough testing. I'm going to run into these problems on arch as well, the only good thing about arch is if you use it there's a good community of knowledgeable people on the forums and IRC, whereas ubuntu's community is filled with retards like me and debian's community is filled with old people who aren't perpetually online computer addicts so they take forever to reply or move on anything

Then, if you start hating systemd or the way package management handles things, consider another type of distribution. But for the time being stick with mainstream basics.

>>102069266

Stick with the packages from your distro, you do not need to go to a website and download an installer like in windows.

How do you prevent stuff breaking? I know Arch suggests looking at the update page on the website or whatever.

>>102070503
You gotta try pretty hard to break an Arch system during normal use/updating, but if you use a pacman wrapper/AUR helper like paru or yay, you can get Arch front page news directly in your terminal to see if something rarely needs manual intervention or the like before doing a full update.

>>102070568
For 2xxx series cards and up all you really need is

nvidia-dkms, nvidia-utils, nvidia-settings

for NVIDIA drivers.
For normal updating you do either

sudo pacman -Syu

or if you use one of the mentioned wrappers you can just use paru or yay as they alias to sduo paru/yay -Syu

I probably wouldn't have changed a thing. Using Ubuntu taught me a lot because it's actually quite a shit distro for desktop use when you start wanting up-to-date packages, etc. Nowadays we have Snap and Flatpak which make it easy, it's all one-click (which ironically, perhaps means people today are learning less because it's so easy) but back then you had to compile software yourself.

Inevitably you discover Fedora is a thing and use it for a bit and then discover Arch is a much better thing and eventually realise you're customising too much and having to deal with the shit parts of the ABS and Aur too often and discover Gentoo is a thing that makes this much easier. It's end game.

These are distribution decisions. It's nothing to do with GNOME. Gstreamers plugin system has always been a pile of crap and distros never include all of the packages by default.

I much prefer software that uses Fffmpeg for codecs. That has them all built-in and just works, there's even a Gstreamer plugin for Fffmpeg (again, probably not installed by default though)

Is there a linux distro that has backwards compatibility like windows?

>>102072200
Windows backwards compatibility is broader in scope than any linux distro, however the linux kernel has greater backwards compatibility than the windows kernel. It depends what you're looking for.

Good morning friends. A few months ago I installed Pop OS. Ever since installing it, whenever I go to shutdown or logoff, it just waits for 60 seconds and then powers off after having made no apparent effort to end any program (Brave, for instance, shows that it did not shutdown properly and prompts me to restore open webpages, and Nano does not seem to do anything when the shutdown popup is ongoing).
If I recall, this seems to have been happening ever since I installed Pop, having recently moved away from Windows. I can't imagine this is intentional.

>>102071051
Case insensitive support is a meme, you don't need it. It literally only comes up in the context of Windows software and Wine translates the paths internally anyway. It would be nice to not have to deal with game mode zip files with funky filenames that aren't standardised (please, if you're a modder make them all lowercase) but you could always make a loopback mounted ext4 image if you really needed to.

are there any decent 4chan desktop clients to use?

Kinda like what I'm seeing with Gentoo, I don't care much about compiling stuff myself but I like quick package managers and it seems to be stable? I'll probably wuss out and use something simpler like Arch/Endeavor/Fedora but I'll test it out in VM first.

This is actually a GNOME bug since unlike every other compositor it doesn't support server side window decorations. Mpv has a workaround that uses its subtitle renderer to draw window decorations (yes, they really do this) but it's probably not enabled by default.

Dual-booting Mint and LTSC IoT here, fresh install, I want to put both systems on my SSD and have a common storage HDD. HDD is NTFS, system is UEFI if that matters.

My questions (this is my very first time on Linux so apologies for the noob shit)
>Can I access and modify the Windows My Documents/Images/etc from both systems?
Use case: Making a Libre doc under Mint, opening it in Windows, storing movies, etc
What I think I should do: move the Win folders from my SSD to my HDD, then [my question starts her] I already tried this with a test laptop and I couldn't save anything in Win folders when I was on Mint. Should I just create new ones and never use default folders from either Mint or Windows?

>Mint /home, can I put it on my HDD as well during install so I can always have my saves in case the SSD shits the bed?
It's likely I'll need to create an ext4 part, right? Or can it be NTFS and thus not need a part?

>Mint swap and /var
I've heard those could damage the SSD because of frequent rewrites, should they be on the HDD instead?
I have 16gb ram so I'm also wondering if I need swap at all and whether or not I could just create a 8gp partition for it

>>102073282
Though when you said "w10 had right click option" what did you mean? With what program you already had?

>>102073283
I do enjoy using KurobaEX on my phone but Firefox+Violentmonkey+4chanx is more then good enough for me.

>>102073302
Cause it looks like beginning NPC quest giver and area from STALKER?

>>102072982
Wrong, it sets a precedent that they will install Israeli software at the expense of the user. Whether or not it's "easy to remove" is retarded.

>>102073318
W10 by default when you right click a music or video file it has the option to stream it directly to a device and I just had to choose my TV 'Cast to device'. So easy but i am but to Linux, no need of W10 anymore, I needed it to make custom PS3 firmwares

>>102072283
Well I saw that kernel supports all sorts of ancient devices. However I care more for the program compatibility as I want to run old software on my modern system. This is the biggest thing I struggle with on linux.

I'm trying to install dinit artix on kvm/virtmanager, but for some reason it can't connect to the internet.

I've also tried restarting the default virtual network and changing the network interface's type. And I tried copying (and changing a bit) the xml from a second vm that works properly, but it didn't work.

>Can I access and modify the Windows My Documents/Images/etc from both systems?
Yes. Linux can access NTFS. It's good for singular files like pictures, spreadsheets, movies, etc.
However, if you try running games on Linux through NTFS, you're not going to have fun.

>What I think I should do: move the Win folders from my SSD to my HDD
Install Windows on SSD. Mount HDD as D:\. Store shit you want there.

>Mint /home, can I put it on my HDD as well during install so I can always have my saves in case the SSD shits the bed?
Yes but you will need to format it as ext4, and I do not recommend it. /home is much more than dumb user data like pics and downloads; it includes cache, configs, program data (Flatpak), default save location for Steam games (DO NOT INSTALL ON NTFS), etc.
You can setup symlinks so that dumb data folders like Downloads, Pictures, etc that don't impact performance get linked to the (ntfs) HDD.

>Mint swap and /var
don't use swap on HDD unless you wanna cry and don't separate /var for a desktop user, you don't need it. you will barely hit swap with 16gb. if it really bothers you, don't use a swap partition and setup zram (RAM compression).

you don't need to have paranoia around SSD's, even the most budget models are pretty reliable, them dying all over the place was a late 00s thing.

>Linux can access NTFS
The thing is when I did my test run on my laptop, I could see/access the storage partition I had created (the single disk was parted three ways: Win, Mint, Storage) but I couldn't save stuff in Windows (pre-created) folders while I was using Mint. What I did was create a folder myself and then the two-way access/edit of files worked.

>You can setup symlinks so that dumb data folders like Downloads, Pictures
Would you recommend linking them to the Windows folders mentioned above? This way everything is centralized and I don't have the same folders twice

>Install Windows on SSD.
That's my intent, I'd just move the Documents/Images/Etc to D: in order to keep all personal data there

>you will barely hit swap with 16gb
I see, so 16gb for swap space is enough?

>>102073634
That doesn't really help with the problem

>>102073752
My point is, you should be googling the model of your headphones and add linux and/or your distro as keywords to the search query. Maybe someone else already had the same problem as you. Specifically for your headphones model

>>102073777
Already did and nothing came up which is why I asked here.

I'm not familiar with Mint, but do you have ntfs-3g installed and an /etc/fstab entry for the ntfs partition with rw privileges? Make sure you disable Quick Boot in Windows (it doesn't shutdown properly, which IIRC puts the partition on read-only)

>Would you recommend linking them to the Windows folders mentioned above? This way everything is centralized and I don't have the same folders twice
yes, I do that with my own SSD+HDD (linux only but same concept)

>That's my intent, I'd just move the Documents/Images/Etc to D:
IIRC windows doesnt allow you to do this directly which is why I'd create new folders. I saw that on W11 you can right click and change the location but im not sure if thats on W10 as well

>I see, so 16gb for swap space is enough?
thats too much for disk-based swap unless you use hibernate for some reason. use zram and never worry about swap again, it's fairly simple to setup.

BTW, Fedora automatically setups zram, and it also uses btrfs by default instead of ext4. There's a community-made driver to support btrfs inside Windows, that might interest you.

>use zram
Not planning to use hibernation, I've disabled it in windows with powercfg -h off. So 8gb maybe?
Not that I don't trust zram (thanks for suggesting it), but I'm quite new to this and I'd like to minimize the amount of new stuff I'll do, so with my first install go with swap if it poses no risk to my SSD. For a newbie the more "experimental" things are done, the more there's a chance for me to fuck it up.

But this is directly because of their decisions to implement israeli software into the install of LM22. Posing security risks to everyone who installs it.

try setting up an /etc/fstab and after it's mounted, check who owns the folder. You might need to transfer perms to your user.

>So 8gb maybe?
ye thats fine. you can always just make a swapfile instead of partition, so that you can adjust size later to whatever you deem fit. it really just depends on your usecase.

I have 16gb and I barely go above >2G swap usage when browsing, gayming, etc, but compiling software pushes it to the limit

Interestingly enough, when I unplug my headphones from the jack it doesn't remove the headphones from the output board in Sounds as well, so I think its a bus update issue, my usb buses on the same bus all work like a dream, but for w/e reason the audio bus never sends updates to the OS or the updates are being sent and are either never received or being ignored.

XFCE Devs admit*

>>102076683
Why does xfce or mate have to switch to the pile of shit known as gtk4?
LXQT has less work to do than both xfce and mate because they're just going to leech off a pre-existing wayland compositor to do 90% of the hard work
>>102076601
You don't love XFCE otherwise you wouldnt be posting a tweet that old.

>>102076755
>>>102076726
The age of the tweet does not change anything, everything said in that tweet is still true, if anything the situation is worse nowadays.
So far all i can see is that you are emotionally invested and you get angry for "criticizing"" XFCE.
Admitting XFCE development is slow and thin is a good thing, it might encourage other people to join in and keep XFCE alive.
Like that anon in this thread who asked for the dev channels and i tried to "help" him
Deluding yourself and everyone with falsehood will only make matters worse, people will think XFCE is well while is not and nobody will help.

Regular, zen or hardened kernel?

>>102077049
regular self coompiled custom kernel

>>102077049
Zen if you want a desktop tuned kernel
Hardened if you want a security focused kernel (could mean detrimental performance in some circumstances since it's focused on security not performance)
Regular / Vanilla Linux if you want a general purpose kernel that's good for all use cases, optimised for none

I have a laptop that supposedly has bluetooth support but hciconfig doesn't show any bluetooth devices (nor does bluetoothctl -> list, unsurprisingly).

lspci claims I've got a Qualcomm QCNFA765, using the ath11k driver. Wifi works perfectly fine for me. How would I even go about debugging why bluetooth isn't, on the same card?

>>102077203
obvious question but is there a hardware switch that turns it off?

>>102076995
Yeah and if the number of core developers had gone up and their pacing had also sped up i would believe it.
But you can check their dev channels and speak with any of them.
You can also count the number of core devs.
Finally you can see the release cycle which has slowed down from 1.5 years~ to 2.5 years~ per point release.

In those 5 years things have gone even worse, and for XFCE to be alive it needs contributors.

>>102077169
I still don't know what's really the difference between Zen and Regular.

>>102076826
You're not saying XFCE development is slow and thin, you're saying its rotting and abandoned when comparing it to gnome lxqt and kde. There's nothing wrong with xfce at the moment and xorg is still perfectly fine, they are working on wayland and itll be ready when its ready but there's no reason at all why its abandoned and unusable like what you were saying in your original post.

>>102077169
>could mean detrimental performance in some circumstances since it's focused on security not performance
Could the opposite be the case with the zen kernel? Faster but less secure?

>>102077491
>Faster but less secure?
No

>>102077441
It's tuned for responsiveness.

>>102077805
I never had a problem with that on any kernel, except when ram runs out, and I doubt zen handles that situation better.

>>102077831
They use different defaults for the scheduler so it reacts better under high I/O and CPU usage. It's still the same scheduler as regular Linux just with much better defaults.

>>102077441
i honestly noticed more differences with the BORE patchset but it's a massive fucking pain to maintain an arch install with cachyos kernel binaries.

Gentoo or Arch. EndeavorOS if you want a functional one out of the box but without bloat.

>>102078682
If you go with Gentoo you'll have to have Python installed for its package manager.
>>102078434
I don't get the obsession with making sure you don't have Python installed. A lot of applications and system software use it.

Distros rarely pre-install a C compiler (Gentoo would because it's source based), Node and Vim though.

I've heard that Arch is on a whole other level of difficulty of use?

>>102079406
It's GeFirce GT540M. Supposedly I've downloaded the latest driver from Nvidia site, which is 340 or something. But I can't install it with driver updater or using terminal. I think it installs partially, but I've had a lot of errors because of half-assed installation that forced me to reinstall the system completely

>>102079677
Jokes aside, I really do not recommend that you use LM22 because of said reasons above. If you can use LM21. That way you don't have israeli BS on your PC. Arch is hard yes but the quicker you get into it the better anyway since your bound to end up on arch in your life eventually.

i got my first domain and personalized email address that's just my name for the first time.

>>102079677
Arch user here. There is for sure a difficulty curve to it that other distros don’t have, since it’s so new with its constant updates and packages it’s almost like beta testing occasionally. In my experience, however, it doesn’t break nearly as often as the memes indicate, and when it does the ArchWiki is always there as a good resource. Only thing I’ve ever had majorly break is my DE and sound, both of which I got working again with only a bit of effort.

>>102079677

>>102079762
Well, while I was searching about solutions and whatnot, I've encountered a lot of Arch forums and arch wiki, which is cool. I think I would try it out one day, but I broke Mint easily, I guess I need at least time to adjust to the terminal life. But I really like the aesthetic of Arch, but I guess it requires a deep study of documentation.

>>102079770
Sadly, I use only 4chan as a means of communication, as of late. But thanks for the offer

>>102079872
Yeah only go to Arch once you get used to terminal and fixing issues (if any) in Mint. I did the Mint to Arch path myself, technically I still use Mint since it’s on my desktop and I have Arch on my laptop.

>>102079677
1) Dont download drivers from nvidia site, use the package manager
2) Nouveau might just work better since your card is really old
3) ignore that retard who starts mentioning anything about backdoors or other dumb shit. He has a screw loose for some reason.

ChatGPT told me that installing gst_all_1.gstreamer, gst-plugins-base, good, bad and ugly would be enough for the GNOME Music app to recognize MP3 files but I still can't see them. Help.

>>102079910
The problem is I can't switch the renderer. All apps are defaulted to my CPU as a renderer. While I tried many solutions, the only one time drivers were installed, switching to GPU renderer and launching 3D apps were resulting in an error. I'll try bumblebee on my fresh install, but I think it wasn't found of nouveau drivers.

I like the concept of Nix OS but not really how opinionated and unorthodox the OS itself is. I heard you can still use things like flakes, nixpkgs and nix-shells/nix-envs outside of Nix OS, but is it good? Basically I want my OS to be a normal generic Linux distro while still having the ability to lift up clean, isolated development environments without needing Docker trash

Yes, use a kiosk system.

yes, I do xstart i3 then open e.g. firefox with the dmenu (alt d firefox enter) and fullscreen with alt f

Problem with that tutorial: probably everyone should run

Screw it, I'm not spending time on those installation steps again to get Arch on the HDD and not the SD card. Also, before doing that (which I'm not going to do) I would need to have ZFS installed for certain reasons. I added the archzfs keyring or whatever to pacman conf but it doesn't work on my kernel version. archzfs 2.2.4 works on a max Linux Kernel version of 6.8. The Arch Linux ISO I had was 6.10.2. I'll be installing Debian instead:
https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/iso-cd/debian-12.6.0-amd64-netinst.iso

( Previous OS: Ubuntu. Not using this, for now: http://iad.mirror.rackspace.com/archlinux/iso/2024.08.01/archlinux-2024.08.01-x86_64.iso )

URLs to Linux ISO files. Reinforcing this knowledge: you can write to a blank USB flash drive, not the partition part of it. So this will work:

Website web.archive.org has a 2-GB limit on files, but if the WARC was added by non-SPN sources, then there's "no limit"; example:

So the capture at that timestamp should be the full 3GB and not just the first 2GB of it.
