terry bless you anons

Wish I could delete red hat from existence.
In a friendly manner of course.

>>102102638
Was Terry interested in Linux?
I only know his Temple Os shenanigans.

>>102102711
my understanding is that he merely tolerated it. he didn't like the idea of running a mainframe operating system on a personal computer.

>>102102733
>>102102711
Linux made God's work on Temple OS possible. He did all of his development on Ubuntu. You can even see the Unity dock in some of his videos which is quite nostalgic.

my distro install keeps kicking. 5 years old, survived another large update, lord knows how many orphan packages (im scared.)

>>102103529
Orphan packages? I've always wondered how ou delete packages that arent used anymore

>>102103564
you can get a list of orphans, but my understanding is you need to keep a close eye on whats in the list before wiping the lot.
at most picking out the largest ones and being certain theyre not ones youre using and deleting only those.

>>102103495
Some of the most secure would be Proton Mail or Tuta.

>>102103493
check your polkit configuration files, I think they're under /etc/polkit-1
check what systemctl binary you have in your $PATH as well

Yes. Chimera is good too.

>>102103988
>check your polkit configuration files, I think they're under /etc/polkit-1
there's a rules.d folder but it's empty
>check what systemctl binary you have in your $PATH as well
just in /usr/bin
Actually, checking again, some commands work like `systemctl start` and `systemctl stop`, it will ask for a password if I run it without doas, but other commands like `systemctl list-units` and `systemctl status` gives me the error message I mentioned.

Do you use Flatpak with --user or --system?

--user I used --system in the past because Flatpak had some bug that broke --user installed Flatpaks for me but that's all fixed now. I migrated all of my system installed Flatpaks to my user where they rightly belong.

hi
i'm a spoonfed gnome fedora 47 user and i don't actually know how to do anything by myself that wasn't handheld for several hours by my friend

does anyone know if there's a more linux-friendly way to stream games than OBS?
there's a bunch of issues that are just apparently a mainstay, like the program threatening to kill itself if i ever use the twitch docks and stuff.
i don't really know where else to ask, the questions i asked on the linux side of the OBS discord were just like "yeah that's just kind of a thing, nothing to be done"

an alternative uh... UI? GUI? the thing that gnome/fedora47 is called, i forget the term but it was after OS.
if you have a recommendation for that i'll also gladly take it into account.

thanks in advance if you reply

I'm having some trouble understanding fstab and mounting binds in particular:
https://serverfault.com/questions/613179/how-do-i-do-mount-bind-in-etc-fstab

>goal
I use a SSD/HDD config. I bound my /home/ folders, located on my SSD, so they redirect to my Windows user profile folders on my HDD and I intend said HDD and Windows folders to be my main personal data storage for both systems (movies, libreoffice docs, images, all accessible and readable from both OS depending on which I use). Meanwhile, Mint and Windows non-user files will stay on the HDD.
I want to make the bound folders permanent

>question
I understand that for each mount made (Documents, Music, etc folders) I have to copy/paste the mount in fstab as well. My binds look like this:
>$ sudo mount --bind/mnt/xxxxyyy555/Anon/Documents /home/Anon/Documents
>$ sudo mount --bind/mnt/xxxxyyy555/Anon/Music /home/Anon/Music
And so on.

What else do I need to write along each mount to make them permanent, ie, they all get mounted at startup?

I already mounted my HDD automatically using the easy GUI way so that's my first time editing fstab

The link above has four options:
>none defaults,bind 0 0
>none defaults,bind 0 0 nofail,x-systemd.device-timeout=2
>none defaults,bind,nofail,x-systemd.device-timeout=2 0 0
>none bind

My HDD currently reads as:

>auto nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show 00

I don't know which of these four (five) options will work the best in my case (just installed Mint a few days ago)

>>102101168
>Obviously it wasn't made in HDR but that's irrelevant as long as the mastering is good.
That's just as bad as those clout chasers who colorize manga pages that were never intended to be in color
Most anime upscales and remasters look absolutely terrible compared to the original

>>102104530
Upscales are bad (you're always going to make it worse doubling the resolution blindly, even if you use AI to help you you'll still end up with blurry scenes in some places, etc)

Simple colour regrading need not be though.

In general I tend to agree with you. I want the source material. It's personal preference though, there's some people that like it and then others that think it's over saturated, etc.

I have some questions about Plasma 6 since I'm still on 5.27. Can the default clock be made to look like Better Inline Clock? Can the default workspaces be made to look like simple dots rather than squares with windows previews?

desktop environment? are you talking about the thing that asks you if you want to terminate the program? https://askubuntu.com/questions/1068921/how-to-disable-the-window-not-responding-dialog
i havent used gnome to stream at all. plasma offers easy switching of audio and mic device. i think gnome gets that with extensions. and if youre on nvidia plasma might be too unstable.
if obs, i dont think you'll find anything better than obs. there are apparently a bunch of apps that use obs as a base and add their own shit, but i dont think they build for linux.
so yeah, no idea what you mean, sorry.

unfortunately i'm on a "gamer laptop" with a big fat nvidia card and it's been seemingly causing a lot of trouble.

>>102105134
that's helpful, thank you anon!

>>102104141
>>102104214
neither, I just use the defaults which are equivalent to --system to what I can tell glancing at the manpage.
all the systems I have flatpak on are just personal single-user desktops without any fancy /home partitioning shenanigans, so it really doesn't matter where the stuff ends up as long as flatpak doesn't lose it.

So yeah I 'd say 9GB would be just fine.

>>102105380
That doesn't work in practice. You end up with clunky /bin/bash invocations to shell out to something else because the declarative format isn't enough to describe what you want to do. This is more annoying than being able to script directly in the unit file in my opinion.

I like the way OpenRC handles things with a custom interpreter that parses the script for variables you declare in a declarative manner (similar to what you might have in a Systemd unit file) but still supports scripting at any point should you need it. It's also really easy to define custom functions to perform actions other than stop/restart/reload

I understand why Red Hat went with Systemd though. They want something in-house that they can control.

>>102105941
It is, you could use more if you want to test snapshots but it's enough for a few of them.

>>102106015
>That doesn't work in practice. You end up with clunky /bin/bash invocations to shell out to something else because the declarative format isn't enough to describe what you want to do.

>>102106068
If you ever want to do something in the ExecStartPre more complicated than running a single command.

It's more common than you think for anything other than a small standalone binary you want Systemd to supervise.

https://github.com/search?q=ExecStartPre+AND+bash+%28path%3A*.service+OR+path%3A*.unit%29&type=Code&ref=advsearch&l=&l=

If this were an OpenRC service, etc, then you wouldn't have to have long lines that shell out to Bash, you could just write this neatly directly in the service file separated by newlines to make it even more readable.

>>102106173
oh yeah fair enough, that I have actually encountered myself.
something like

ExecStartPre = {
    command
    list
}

would be nice. mmh

>>102106015
> the declarative format isn't enough to describe what you want to do
Ime it is actually the other way around. Systemd has so many features that i don't want to live without it anymore. How do you manage service capabilities in your bash script? What about which paths a service is allowed to access? System call filters, socket activation, i could go on and on here.

>>102106173
>>102106203

> you wouldn't have to have long lines that shell out to Bash
you know that you can just point to an external bash script right?

>>102106228
>you know that you can just point to an external bash script right?
yeah but that's the issue, my fren

>>102106228
>How do you manage service capabilities in your bash script? What about which paths a service is allowed to access? System call filters, socket activation, i could go on and on here.
You use a sandbox and define AppArmor or SE Linux rules. Init systems are not sandboxes.

Socket Activation is the only real killer Systemd exclusive feature here. There's inetd but that's really fucking old and the source of a lot of vulnerabilities and not really designed very well for the socket activation use-case:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inetd

>>102106228
>you know that you can just point to an external bash script right?
You can, and now anybody reading it has to check two places instead of one in order to try to figure out what the fuck it does.

>>102105188
your machine was built with windows in mind. well, mostly every laptop is, but ones like yours in particular is a double whammy of stubborn hardware manufacturers and windows monopoly.
a modern gaming laptop is not the appropriate place to middle finger ms.

I'm using EndeavourOS but my internet connection spikes dramatically compared to windows.
for context, I use the gigabyte aorus elite ax b650 (RTL8852CE wifi card) and normally get 200 down 30 up. when I load into online games or test my ping, itspikes into the hundreds every 3-5 seconds. I've tried downloading community drivers on the AUR and have scoured every single forum to no avail.
any help would be appreciated as I like linux alot apart from the shit wifi

>>102106277
> have to check two places
I don't think having to check two files is that much more difficult than checking one.
Also your solution to sand boxing being to configure another service altogether doesn't really help this argument.

> AppArmor or SE Linux
Okay honestly i have no experience with SE linux and very limited with AppArmor. I can't imagine that setting these up (and maintaining them) is as easy as with systemd. I do believe that sandboxing fits naturally into the init system / service manager role though. For example with systemd you can distribute unit files for your software with all batteries included and the end user has less to configure for themselves.

>>102106533
Sandboxing should ideally be done by the application itself but seccomp is a piece of shit and we don't have anything like OpenBSD's pledge system.

Made a pretty simple setup for automatic ssh authentication via kwallet, sharing in case anyone wants to do the same and doesn't know how to, like I didn't, or finds a lot of the suggestions online to be messy and/or outdated:
>generate ssh authentication keys with

ssh-keygen

, set a passphrase for them
>copy the keys to the server with ssh-copy-id [USERNAME]@[HOSTNAME]
>now you can log in without a password, but you'll still need the passphrase for the keys
>start the ssh-agent daemon with

systemctl enable --user ssh-agent
systemctl start --user ssh-agent

>if you're not using systemd you should know how to do it with whatever you're using
>run

SSH_ASKPASS=ksshaskpass ssh-add < /dev/null

, enter your passphrase and tick the save password option (if you don't have ksshaskpass install it, it's technically a separate package)
>now just make a startup script that runs that command and add it to autostart
>logout and log in to see if it works
Probably not going to be useful to most but maybe someone's going to get something out of it.

I have a work laptop setup with LUKS for encryption that only just now decided that the default layout for passphrase entry is going to use another language. I have no idea how to set it back to English and my only workaround is to plug in a USB keyboard. Any other anons have this issue?

>>102107132
What distro are you using? Look into how to set the keymap for your distro.

Since this all happens before you even have a GUI the keymap is hardcoded. Most distros usually default to loading the US keymap and you have to change this if you want something else.

>>102107210
This would be Fedora

>>102107259
That's done by Systemd then:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora/latest/system-administrators-guide/basic-system-configuration/System_Locale_and_Keyboard_Configuration/#s1-Changing_the_Keyboard_Layout

I don't know if you have to do anything else special to change the layout in the initramfs image.

System because it's the default

>>102107284
Changing the key maps in

How do I debug Steam Remote Play performance? I'm using an NVIDIA GPU, on X11, running Steam in Flatpak, connecting to it on LAN and it lags horribly.

Has anyone successfully made a crash dump kernel in the past couple years? I tried to make one to catch a kernel panic I get occasionally due to my GPU (I think). I followed this https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Kernel_Crash_Dumps + the source article and I couldn't get it to work. They seem kind of out of date but I couldn't find a guide that was more recent. It's been a good couple months since I last tried to do this so I don't remember the exact specifics but I think my issue was rebooting into the crash kernel, it wouldn't boot and would go right to my regular kernel. I don't think it was an issue with booting with no display either. I use systemd-boot.

Here's exactly what I have for bind mounts on my server:
>/mnt/pool/Music/Music /srv/nfs/music none bind,defaults,nofail 0 0
defaults are basically always implied I think but I like to include it anyways.
To mount at startup you need to EXCLUDE noauto, noauto will make the fs NOT automatically mount. I'd also suggest nofail since that doesn't throw an error when booting if that drive breaks or is missing.
TLDR: the 3rd option is probably what you want, options should not follow the dump & pass fields (the 0 0 part) so 2 is wrong, 1 would work but could fail if the drive is missing, 4 is missing some important parts.

It might be some firmware/kernel thing? Like the fw/kernel doesn't boot hardware in the right order or fast enough. What's the kernel version of Debian vs Ubuntu, do you know/can you check? I had something kind of similar but with a wifi card for a Surface tablet (piece of shit), it would just not show up some boots and I'd have to do a full reboot to have wifi. Also try looking at fwupdmgr and fwupdtool, both should come with fwupd, I'd go into more detail but I have to go and I likely won't be back in time. Good luck anon.

I've been running alpine on my servers but i think i'm just going to go back to debian because i keep running into weird minor issues with alpine that i never got on debian
but im so used to openrc now that i kind of like it more than systemd
also i have no idea how to run rootless podman containers on systemd since on alpine all you need to do is change podman_user="username" in /etc/conf.d/podman and the podman service will do all the rest for you
thank you for listening to my blog

Did anyone manage to build latest intel mesa without clang/llvm. It seems like intel started using it for opencl?
In gentoo repos libclc is listing clang under bdeps. Is there a reason libclc needs clang specifically? GM45 doesn't have vulkan / opencl support anyway. There is also no option to disable libclc/opencl for intel gpus.
I'd really like to avoid building llvm on a core 2 duo....

so hey, i have been trying to get into linux for a few years now. every year i try a distro or version of linux, to then forget it for what i already have set up on windowns. i have win 10 ltsc, and i think i can keep riding it out to 2032. but honestly, i would like to finally get on to linux once and for all, since i wont go to win 11 or any other version of win.

i have tried different versions of ubuntu, and garuda linux. but somehow i always find then slow or just bothersome to update and upkeep. i figured that garuda is somehow bloated compared to other versions of linux, but i am trying to run a version of linux that can still game somewhat. i think i can just run a vm for that, but if i can i would like to have something that i can also use for gaming if possible.

You probably want the Mesa Amber drivers?

Or configure VIDEO_CARDS to build crocus only but you might have to patch the Mesa ebuild for that because it does:

Give Lubuntu a try, if not try MX Linux, though keep in mind the more lightweight distros do compromises in order to be lean. I.e. maybe you may have to fiddle with Xrand to get multi monitor support working how you want.
Debian w/ vanilla GNOME is the more mainstream thing you're going to find that supports most finicky things OOB while being reasonable lightweight.

What ya think about Mint with Cinnamon?

>>102116344
Should be good for the fooresable future (at least the next 10 years) but the Linux ecosystem is changing in a way that makes me hesitant to give it a go. Cinnamon is built on top of an older fork of an important library that did too many controversial changes at the time and in some corners is starting to show its age. Furthermore, more and more apps are moving away from the older libs and while so far you can have them coexist with Mint they look out of place as they won't adhere to the system theming. But that's not the bigger deal, is things like fractional scaling, compositing bugs or VRR that's going to become harder to tackle as they move at a slower pace than the rest of the ecosystem.

what are the current issues of Intel Arc on linux?

>>102111797
Search up the documentation for both them. Unless you're using a Red Hat based system I'd go with AppArmor because it's easier to learn and already has a lot of existing profiles for software (they also serve as examples).

>>102118521
Drivers and performance. It's Intel so they're actively working on it. Anv has tons of good development going on in Mesa, etc.

Ok so my laptop broke and I took my install and plugged it into my other pc.

Now my internet keeps dropping even though the signal strength is strong. The ubuntu UI doesn't show it as disconnected (maybe because it lasts around 10 seconds?), but I can't load websites and then it reconnects and I get a new DHCP lease.

Is this a driver issue? The motherboard is fairly new. It has B650 chipset. The specs say the wireless module is AMD Wi-Fi 6E RZ616.

Ok I read that the wireless driver gets disallowed by secure boot every time you update any firmware and I have to reinstall ubuntu to fix it???...

Can having too little RAM cause Linux Mint to boot me back to the login screen?

Very likely, but you haven't isolated the issue and have introduced other potentials.

Based on your apparent knowledge level I'll recommend a fresh install on the new system and to thoroughly research definitions of all the computer specific words you are using.

You can't fix a shop like that. I suspect you'd have more luck if you try to gently ease them into it.

Maybe you can automate deployment in a VM on your developer workstation only (for testing purposes) and then when you have a "production" like environment working in the VM and fully automated perhaps you can show it to managers, etc, show off being able to destroy it and bring it back up again really quickly, etc. This could backfire if they think you're wasting your time though.

Whichever one has the best/easiest VM support. There's always gonna be a game you want to play that won't work under wine/proton.

>>102120338
Nah I've tried maybe half my library on proton and found several games that straight up don't run or run imperfectly. The rate is especially high with indie non-steam games. With the VM 100% of the games run but a second gpu is needed.

>>102120392
The other problem I ran into is modded games that use external 3rd party mod managers. I haven't had any luck getting those to work yet. I gave up and played on the VM instead.

Gentoo user here trying to config waybar for hyprland and I've got some issues with the wireplumber module. I often get some weird "plop" sound when pressing tab or backspace and a waybar waring of the type:

[wireplumber]: (onMixerChanged) - Object with id xx not found

Also, sometimes, when starting waybar, I get this error:

[wireplumber]: '[big_number_here]' is not a valid node ID. Ignoring volume update

The config for the module is the same from the waybar wiki page, but with pavucontrol instead of helvum

"wireplumber": {
    "format": "{volume}% {icon}",
    "format-muted": "",
    "on-click": "helvum",
    "format-icons": ["", "", ""]
}

Does anyone know how to fix this?

>>102120460
Protontricks is your best friend. I ran Vortex this way and although it looks like crap and functions like crap and symlinks don't work and it can't download/update mods online so only works if you point it to a zip file you manually download, besides all that it's fine.

>>102111903
One alternative is removing and re-adding the panel's applet

Is there any point in dual booting now that gpu passthrough is a thing? Let's say your system has enough ram and cores to spare for a VM, how much worse could the performances be compared to a bare metal install of windows?

>>102119685
Depends how you want to do it. When you attach a VM into a local bridge you can think of the bridge as a physical network card. And do whatever firewalling onwards.
Do you even want to NAT your VM? Could just let it thru.

>>102120957
If you want to run malware DRM that disables itself when ran in a VM. There are potentially ways to hide KVM's presence but it's sometimes easier to just dual-boot. Plus you don't run the risk of getting banned, etc.

>>102121030
>If you want to run malware DRM that disables itself when ran in a VM
For a moment I thought you were talking about Windows itself. Now that I think about it there are certain online games that won't let you run them in a virtual machine but I don't like playing those kinds of games.
I was just thinking that it would be nice having a fallback system for those programs that simply won't run well with wine and similar solutions. I was recently looking for info on wayland compositors on youtube and I found this guy running a pass-through windows system quite smoothly https://invidious.jing.rocks/wNL6eIoksd8?t=131

>Now that I think about it there are certain online games that won't let you run them in a virtual machine but I don't like playing those kinds of games.
I don't either, but it's a big deal for some people unfortunately.

>>102116928
RAM isn't the issue with most systems, it's having a good GPU for the compositing. They'll still run on weaker GPUs (and KDE has dynamic triple buffering to help, GNOME is working on something similar via Canonical too but it's not done yet) and you can even run both GNOME and KDE in a VM but it can be sluggish as hell sometimes.

For what reason would I want automatic updates with a non-zero chance of bricking my hardware? Updating firmware on a piece of hardware should be a premeditated action, not something the OS can do when some twat across the planet pushes out an update.

>>102121795
They aren't automatic, you have to approve them. The service is for background list updates, it's not going to update your hardware behind your back and especially won't touch your firmware (that requires a reboot and needs to be done via the EFI capsule update which fwupd deploys)

What's wrong with just uninstalling shit that you consider "bloat"? You can't expect distro makers to read your mind and include shit specifically for your use case but nothing more.

>>102125093
>>102121964
Just do a minimal install with exactly what you want. If you want something ultra specific then you need to get hands-on.

A bloated system like Debian or Ubuntu can even be turned into a minimal system you bootstrap yourself using something like Debootstrap. Most package managers also allow you to specify an install root so it's possible to just mount a partition from the install CD and then give the package manager that root as an argument and install exactly what you want/need (this is actually how most distro installers work in the first place).

i get good results for local AI shit with a 6700XT. it's kinda jank to set up but it works. i wonder if those old mining cards for these purposes? i'd like to put one in my server.

>>102125394
ROCm support is okay on RDNA3 but if any of those old mining cards are older than your 6700 XT it'll probably not go very well.

The RDNA 3 support itself is experimental even (it works but AMD won't guarantee that and won't support it).

>>102125516
I meant RDNA 2, not 3, I got that mixed up but I think the newer stuff should work too.

>>102125516
oh i should've been clearer, i meant the nvidia mining cards. would be kind of a shame if all that shit turned into e-waste.

>error moving folder. "filename.mp4 is not a directory"
Yeah I knew that dickhead.

So, I'm new to Linux and I'm not sure the distro I should choose, I wouldn't want something like Windows but I still want it to just work out of the box. I'd use to it play games, edit some files, torrent some movies,etc so just general use, nothing hardcore. I would also like to rice it (or at least try it) so I'm up to the task to learn the basics.

So far, after searching a bit, I have a small list:
1. Kubuntu
2. Pop_OS
3. Void
4. Elementary

>>102125553
They should work okay as far as I know. CUDA is CUDA and supporting that properly throughout their stack right from the bottom of their barrel cards to their high end cards is the one thing Nvidia did right. I hate the company but I'm not surprised they dominate in AI. Obviously the older tensor cores are not going to perform as well as the newer stuff.

>>102125585
If you have good specs and display that can do HDR then you have to use something with KDE desktop environment. If you don't care about it than any distro will work, Ubuntu and PopOS are very newb-friendly.

Is Claws-mail any good? How it compares with Thunderbird? I really don't like direction this program is going.

>>102125698
Kubuntu*

>>102125698
>good specs
it's a 2016 PC desktop I don't want to upgrade. it's a Ryzen 5 2400G with integrated Vega 11 graphics, I mostly play old games like Quake, Alpha Centauri, Deus Ex, etc. thanks for the reply, I think I'll try both of them (Kubuntu and Pop) and choose one. Thanks again for the reply, I really appreciate it anon

>>102125756
No problem mate, have fun with Linux.

>>102125585
>Kubuntu
It uses snap packages.
>Pop_OS
Could be really good once cosmic gets a stable release but right now I see no real reason to use it.
>Void
It's cool but it's not beginner friendly at all and Artix + runit is generally more usable since the repos aren't so barren.
>Elementary
lol, lmao

Just get Linux mint.

Which directories I need to dump into tmpfs so Brave works with the disk in read-only mode?

>>102125927
>disk in read-only mode
You might as well mount a tmpfs over the top of $XDG_CACHE_HOME (~/.cache)

>>102125982
Isn't that for general usage and /g/aming? Thanks for the tip tho.

I'm looking for a free background noise remover plugin, any good ones for linux?

>>102122498
There is a fair bit of software that explicitly targets Ubuntu LTS releases, and installing the latest LTS before it's .1 update is often a bad idea as said software is often not updated yet to target those yet.
I wouldn't be upgrading yet (if at all) if this was a server, but its nice to have the newer system level packages for a desktop user.
>Just use a rolling release
Fuck that trash. I enjoy my system being stable, not just in packages but actual stability. Once my core system is in place I don't want it to change regularly. If I want new apps I just use appimages and flatpaks.

In this moment, I am euphoric

Tumbleweed is generally running great, KDE 6 works perfectly with only minor kwallet/SDDM-related tinkering, the old thinkpad's still running perfectly, just set up proton bridge & thunderbird to sync emails w/ encryption, I actually managed to configure my motherfucking printer via yast, and the lolis are fucking great.
This is truly the year of the linux desktop.

Do you know of any download manager that can automate downloads from file hosting websites? Something like jdownloader/pyload

with pulseaudio is there a way to change individual program's output? i have one program that is outputting from my monitor for some reason while everything else is from my headphones line like expected

>>102126373
If the drive is read-only then nothing will be able to write to the cache so you want to force it all into RAM by using a tmpfs mount or symlinking it to $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/cache

>>102127502
Install Pavucontrol or Pavucontrol-qt

I am exasperated by theme incompatibilities, gtk3-4 bullshittery and high memory consumption. Tiling wms are now viable again in my eyes

>>102127588
Use Qt apps, ignore GTK shit (except Firefox)

Anything to look out for when trying to upgrade from debian stable to debian testing? Any (specific) reasons not to switch?

>>102127747
There's no guarantee that Debian Stable receives timely security updates (or any security updates in general).

Other than that I can't think of anything else. Apt should handle the dist-upgrade on its own and remove anything that's not needed anymore.

>>102127588
use TUIs

>>102127777
WITNESSED
DEBIAN IS BACKDOORED

RIP IAN

Ty anon, I will trust your digits

Been looking to upgrade my GPU but now I've been using linux for a few months, currently with AMD
Is nvidia still a headache with Wayland?

>>102127777
Oops, I meant Testing

>>102127876
Very much so but Nouveau and Nvk is under very active development now. The future is brighter for a good full FOSS stack with Nvidia that just works like AMD just works.

>>102127917
That's promising at least
I guess to be on the safe side I'll still fuck with AMD

>>102127876
>Is nvidia still a headache with Wayland?
As long as you're on the 555/560 its just werk at this point (and your DE is also up to date and compatible like Plasma 6.1)

>>102128178
What about GNOME or Hyprland?

>>102128184
Yeah.

broooosss, why does UEFI hate linux? I had the perfect dual boot and despite reinstalling linux, I kept getting "failure reading sector" error. Not sure what that cause is but I am blaming a combination of UEFI, hardware failure (I have another spare drive to test this on) and linux. I can't blame windows this time as its still currently working.

Hold me :(

>>102128249
it's your disk failing, nothing to do with linux or especially uefi

Archtroons have to be one of the most obese people I've ever come across on the internet
>The answer to your question is in the manual hehe... if you actually bothered to read it... scrub
Like ok nigger i dont have time to read through a fucking manual all day

>>102123019
No, it doesn't look like it does.

>>102125093
>What's wrong with just uninstalling shit that you consider "bloat"?
Because it's too much work and you can easily break something.

>>102128302
Nope, there was zero issues reported with the drive. I've tested 3 methods and all clear. I say UEFI because it adds 3 versions of each OS on the boot select. However, if I only have either 1 OS plugged in, each will go back to their respective names. This has cost me 2 days worth of work so, going to keep them separate for now until I get the time to try with a more fresh drive. Tis a shame, was a good 3 months of working between the two systems.

Is there a way I can fix UEFI without bricking it?

>>102128548
that's not EFI, that's just the UEFI partition. are you on arch? it sounds like you installed manually, I would suggesting deleting all partition and reinstalling.

New thread:
>>102128661

>>102128574
Nah, linux mint. I deleted all partitions and wiped the entire drive then reinstalled, the issue remains. While no errors were reported, it is an old ssd from like 2018. I keep seeing people say get a new drive so, that would be the next step and if that fails, I'm just going to have to use separate machines. Thanks anyways anon

>>102128687
maybe it's grub being a bitch then, try installing rEFInd

Thanks fren, I'll save and try this as well, will report findings later on

Now, by
>boot back into the login screen
Are you logging in, loading the desktop, and then getting returned to the login screen as if you were logged out?

Or

Is the system rebooting?
