why bros.
I use x11, not wayland. Why do waylandbros continue to harass me.
My nvidia card randomly turns on and I think it might be this package's fault.
Plus I don't want the bloat.

Qt 6.8.0 beta4 got tagged earlier:

>>102152041
well how do you suggest I fix this issue?

>>102152015
If you don't want the bloat you should throw away your paperweight and run a superior Intel iGPU like a Core 2 Duo that runs perfectly with both X11 and Wayland

>>102152056
why have it be a dependency in the first place?

>>102152053
by installing gentoo and putting -wayland into USE

>>102152087
Because Nvidia and your distro are not going to make separate X11-only builds for your special snowflake needs

If I install nvidia-utils again, then I think I will try and forcibly remove egl-wayland.

Is there that big of a difference in resource usage with sway compared to plasma-desktop?

>>102152132
The binary was compiled against it. And that's that since it's closed source.

>>102152132
Because you can't optionally link to a library. You'd have to make two separate builds or do ugly hacks with dlopen and friends (which is not robust and can fail).

If you forcibly remove it then you might break the utilities because they won't be able to find the library anymore.

>>102152132
>why isn't it an optional dependency?
Because Linux desktop moved to Wayland.

>>102152203
>moved
lol
lmao

>>102152202
yes you can, dynamic linking makes it trivial, you can use patchelf to remove needed library and boom, it's done

>>102152214
GNOME did, KDE did, XFCE is doing so, LXQt is doing so, Cinnamon (which is just a fork of Mutter as far as its compositor is concerned) is doing so.

Anyone else?
You're stuck in the past if you're still clinging to X11.

>>102152228
Now watch the application crash because it can't find the symbols anymore.

>>102152236
weak symbols exist, but sure, I guess I can't expect nocoders to do that

>>102152196
are you referring to the nvidia-utils, or egl-wayland?

>>102152289
They're talking about the utilities. EGL Wayland is Open Source but that doesn't help you remove the dependency from a closed source blob linking to it.

Can you configure Zathura (or other muPDF based pdf viewers) to draw hyperlink borders? I don't want to use Poppler, but not displaying borders is a deal breaker for me.

>>102152519
Which init vs Systemd?

>>102152447
No.

>>102152604
Maybe you need to enable the ntfs kernel module, or install fuse-ntfs or something

>>102152378
try to mount it through the terminal and then see what the error is

>>102152519
Completely irrelevant.

>>102152519
Your init system will not impact your system as much as the graphical interface you are going to slap on it. Stop thinking about it.

You need to properly shut it down in Windows. Windows will sometimes leave the filesystem in a state where Linux will not be able to access it safely.

Apologies if this is not the right thread to enquire about this, more akin to networking/sysadmin but whatever. My networking knowledge is not particularly the greatest, here there be dragons, and can be summarised as two-week binge a couple of years ago.
One of my friends has a Fedora home server running on a repurposed old machine, it hosts an assortment of services among which are several game servers that the rest of our group shares. I, on the other hand, have my own OpenBSD VPS that I fiddle around with and host some websites and a file repository.
Said friend has recently moved and his present ISP is not keen on allocating him a static IP address. I had the idea of having my VPS act to forward connections to his machine whilst he runs a background daemon to communicate any change in their address. Should this more or less work out of the box or would there need to be further configuration from my/his end?

Your DE or WM doesn't really impact your resource usage as much as your software and background services do.
So, no, there isn't a big difference.

I have waited for a thread with experts since I have some things to ask.

Firstly off I had dualboot Manjaro with winshart 11, winshart finally kicked the bed after 3 years of no updates (I blocked it) and finally I feel chains from my back going loose.

So I have 3 things to ask the experts (hopefully) here.
I got an (outdated) GPU as a present since a relative didn't need it and never used it before, GeForce 8600 GT and I am wondering if I could use it for GPU passthrough with my main Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650, as tech newbie I made a mistake of illiterately buying the one specific kind of intel CPU that doesn't have graphical driver and thus cucked myself out of GPU passthrough and linux for some years.

I want to replace winshart with Nobara, do I have to mind something when doing that and could it screw up my Manjaro booting manager?

And for last is it save to remove exfat-utils since it disrupts my modded Vita for connection with the PC?

>>102153595
Read the kernel docs they're very good:

I've finally managed to set up an Arch VM with full disk encryption tied to TPM2 and Secure Boot which is also signing PCR values with a public key. Unfortunately, the current version of mkiniticpio has a bug that doesn't copy systemd tmpfiles, so I had to use mkinitcpio-git. Anyway, I'm happy with the result and know it is possible to make a secure system without any inconvenience during updates.

You can roll your own dynamic DNS using a bash script and a domain provider that lets you edit DNS records via API, such as cloudflare.
Even if you don't know much about bash scripting there are tons of these on github.

To get it ready for what? They can release it whenever they want.

They have firmware blobs built-in to their ROM which is needed to work with the BIOS and have a proper display out when you turn the machine on but before the OS has booted.

Not that i am aware of. This should be fairly easy to implement though, if you want a nice little programming exercise. Or you could write a bash script which uses nftables to do the forwarding

I like bodhi Linux for older hardware. I have bodhi 6 (64 bit, 32 bit is also maintained) installed on a ddr2 (4GB) core 2 duo laptop that performs well. I also use Debian and Ubuntu on other machines. I have a little experience with antiX & q4os and would use those for the appropriate hardware situation. I have no experience with Arch based distros so I will not comment.

>>102158463
Why even have gui ways to do things if they break half the time?

>>102159130
Because the GUI is not supposed to break. Have you tried filing a bug report instead of complaining on 4chan?

>>102156416
The BIOS on the card only includes a classic 16-bit real-mode ROM, without support for 64-bit UEFI (no driver). The card will power on, but the motherboard will only be able to use it in CSM mode. Once you get to the OS it can always be used as long as drivers are available, but it can not be the primary card unless you boot in CSM mode, which if I recall correctly also disables booting from NVMe drives (because NVMe drives have the opposite problem, no 16-bit ROM).

If you pass it through to a VM you'll also need to boot it in BIOS/MBR mode. Assuming it doesn't shit itself because it predates IOMMUs on consumer-grade x86.

In short: you should have gotten a CPU with an iGPU.

>>102159130
The os is made to work on a broad range of hardware with little or no cooperation from the manufacturers for FOSS to work well with their hardware. Some manufacturers are better than others with Linux. That being said, there might be some things you can do in Power settings to improve the suspend behavior. Other settings to look at are anything involving lid opening and closing, defaults actions when clicking on power options. Linux gives you a lot of options (too many maybe?).

To be real, if you didn't buy certified hardware, you have no place to complain when power management doesn't work. All that stuff is very poorly standardized. That goes for any OS. Linux does a lot more to accommodate hostile vendors than any other kernel.
