whats does pacman -Sy do?

>>102193908
it cause you to RTFM

-S, --sync
Synchronize packages. Packages are installed directly
from the remote repositories, including all dependencies
required to run the packages. For example, pacman -S qt
will download and install qt and all the packages it
depends on. If a package name exists in more than one
repository, the repository can be explicitly specified to
clarify the package to install: pacman -S testing/qt. You
can also specify version requirements: pacman -S
"bash>=3.2". Quotes are needed, otherwise the shell
interprets ">" as redirection to a file.


-s, --search <regexp>
This will search each package in the sync databases for
names or descriptions that match regexp. When you include
multiple search terms, only packages with descriptions
matching ALL of those terms will be returned.

>>102193936
woops

-y, --refresh
Download a fresh copy of the master package databases
(repo.db) from the server(s) defined in pacman.conf(5).
This should typically be used each time you use
--sysupgrade or -u. Passing two --refresh or -y flags
will force a refresh of all package databases, even if
they appear to be up-to-date.

>he uses wayland for gaming

I have a Gigabyte 2560x1440 IPS monitors that I believe is rated for 144Hz. I am currently using on an old Optiplex I got for free, with LMDE Cinnamon. The display control panel only allows choosing between 60Hz and 120Hz.

I am fine with the 120Hz maximum. But what I want is refresh rates between 60 and 120. How do I get the option to set 70Hz, 75Hz, 85Hz, 90Hz, 96Hz, and 100Hz.

I do know a way to do it that involves manually generating modelines and making them available to xrandr. Just hoping theres a simpler way. Maybe some package I need to install or something.

So this is presumably a stupid question but I thought I might as well ask. I'm migrating my ntfs drives to ext4 so I'm wondering, there's no reason to stress test them right? Changing the formatting shouldn't matter, right? No reason to stress them just because of the new formatting?

>>102194788
Letting anons know that wayland is bad for gaming is a friendly tip, friend.
It's not a preference. It's a performance powergap.

>>102194797
Nobody asked, and that is clearly not the intent in the way you formulated your criticism.
If you were actually trying to achieve what you said you would be friendly about it, you know, following the rules of the friendly thread.

>>102194834
Imagine being this defensive.
The reason I posted is because I use wayland primarily and noticed my game performance was kind of ass.
So today I installed XFCE alongside my regular DE and the compositing/gaming framerates were noticeably much smoother.
I didn't even realize how bad it was until I compared them directly.
I'll never shill objectively inferior implementations just because it's what you are "supposed" to use.

>>102194871
>So today I installed XFCE alongside my regular DE and the compositing/gaming framerates were noticeably much smoother.
Now im interested, what changed?

>>102194894
The wayland compositor is simply too weighed down to achieve 144hz on anything.
Even simple things like moving windows around, scrolling on 4chan etc are noticably smoother. There is a visible difference in frame rate.
When gaming in wayland, I get a lower framerate, I get ghosted frames, choppiness, etc. Things that probably don't even register in the mind of a normie tech "experts" when playing vidya.
I also disabled the KDE (x11) compositor for years for the same reason. Shit performance.

Is it pronounced "Queue Four Oh Ess," or "Q-Force?"

arch is unbeatable in terms of repo size if you count the AUR but it sounds like you're just starting out so maybe it's not a good idea. tumbleweed should be fine imo. i don't remember if the offline image has a live session or not so you can try it out first.

then again, if you're curious, an arch install could teach you a lot.

I made a useful bash script to do an apt search, pipe the results into grep to remove any package with the word 'rust' in it, and then pipe that into lolcat. Here's the whole thing:

apt search $1 | grep -vi rust | lolcat

Saves me the time of having to remove rust library results every single time, and it looks snazzy. I am giving this very useful script to you under the GPL license, so if you modify it, you better goddamn give me credit.

Correct, it is not Wayland's fault that Nvidia can't keep up.
Intel and AMD don't experience your issues.
Therefore by simple logic we can conclude the problem is Nvidia.
And how could it not be when even Nvidia themselves admit their poor support for Wayland, GBM is also unsupported, DRM is partly supported.
Only X is supported.
Don't blame Wayland for Nvidia's issues.

I think the desktop attracted too many end-users and gamers. The user-space
has turned into garbage for that audience. Windows as the Unix/Linux
Desktop was popular for 30 years. Now these casual "Enthusiasts" who are
paid agents force their 3rd-world-OS ideas into everyones ass.

The future is *BSD as a server only operating system. *BSD's strength is
that nobody cares about it.

Linux on the desktop is about to be replaced by WSL because Windows just is
the better Linux Desktop. Always has been. In the end convenience trumps
ideology. Why should someone install Linux with a Desktop that isn't the
Windows Desktop when you can have the Windows Desktop and WSL? Soon the
only people using a Linux Desktop will be the same people who are developing
it. Just leave them behind.

And who is still using Desktops anyways? It is either servers (Linux and
*BSD) or Apps on Smart Devices or dedicated Video Games hardware. Apps
don't need a full blown Desktop to be launched. Games don't need a full
blown Desktop to be launched. Desktop is just a workplace for sad people.

Snapshots can be deleted when your grub dies, it's not a proper backup. Immutable distros guarantee you won't have to chroot ever and do a rollback on your grub or whatever. Way more stability and much safer upgrading.

You mean because Nvidia is dogshit.

Intel works fine
AMD works fine
The shittiest ARM GPU imaginable works fine.

Why is it only Nvidia that struggles to get their powerful cards to work right?

>>102197368
Im not even convinced that it works well on AMD cards either.

>>102197410
I've had zero problems with my 6700 XT, everything works. I can play modern games like Cyberpunk or Starfield, HDR works, video decoding works, video encoding works (although the quality isn't as good as Nvidia. This is one area where AMD could improve on with future generations of hardware). I have no issue with anything.

>>102197426
Yes I imagine you might fall into the category of those who can't discern between "working" and "working well"

>>102197436
I see no frame drops if that's what you mean. It works perfectly, no screen artifacts like some Nvidia users had either.

The only minor issue I've seen is when stressing the system with an all core workload on the CPU or running AI workloads on the GPU that use large amounts of VRAM and high GPU utilisation but this is to be expected, even X11 chugs in that scenario where there's a clear an obvious bottleneck.

I'm using both. SSH as-is and VPN for the other shit I can't arse myself to secure: plain old DNS plus unsecure Bittorrent web console.
If you don't have anything besides SSH idk what would you even do with the VPN tunnel.
And yeah, keys - no password.

If you don't plan on traveling consider using a firewall and only allowing requests from IP ranges you use. That eliminates 99% of threats, which are third world chinkoid/russoid bots scanning the entire internet for SSH and attempting to log in.

Is a simple cd correct? Or am I supposed to chroot here? The following commands seem to be running from / instead of /mnt/gentoo https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Installation/Stage#Installing_a_stage_file

This might not be the best place to ask but you might be able to direct me better.
I've made a script in bash to extract and play files from certain site.
Issue come when I try to play it with mpv, and not with the script.
Like I forgot to run the script and do this
mpv url instead of script url
Either I turn the script to ytdl extractor, or find a way to evaluate the variable when i pass it to mpv and run the script instead.
Is that possible?

>>102200011
Yes, /mnt/gentoo is just an arbitrary mount point for your root partition (usually sdx3) in the livecd filesystem. When you chroot, you create a chroot jail which thinks the mount point is your actual root, from there you install to disk. I'm not exactly sure what your question is.

>>102200141
> Either I turn the script to ytdl extractor, or find a way to evaluate the variable when i pass it to mpv and run the script instead
Okay i have no idea what this sentence is supposed to mean. To me it sounds like you want an mpv user script, you could ask >>102175187 there about your usecase

>>102200288
The guide doesn't make me chroot. It makes me mount and then it jumps straight to stage downloading but I guess it makes sense since one probably doesn't want the tarball on their system after the installation.. The part of the guide where they make me cd into /mnt/gentoo got me confused

>>102200011
You have to save the stage3 file somewhere, be it the target rootfs in this case.

>>102200326
It makes you chroot the next page. Yes, it makes you mount the disk partition to the mount point which you will then chroot to, in this case /mnt/gentoo. stage3 just contains directory structure and files for the installation that you extract to the mount point. /mnt/gentoo is completely arbitrary, you can use any directory the guide writers just chose that one.

That's their mirrors. They're pretty shit for some people. They use CDNs but their CDN is even more shit than if they'd have gone for community mirrors somehow like in a traditional setup.

I don't know why Fastly still struggles with this sometimes. Is it some sort of DDOS protection? Everything should be highly cached at which ever CDN node is closest to you.

While I'm ranting about CDNs, Steam's is shit too. I can do a speed test from Ookla (speedtest.net), Netflix (fast.com) or Cloudflare (speed.cloudflare) and will get close to gigabit speeds each time but Steam gives me a small fraction of that when downloading games. No, it's not me mixing up the units, I set Steam to use mb/s instead of MB/s. Disabling HTTP/2 and enabling more use of threads makes things better but doesn't fix it.

LFS you "literally" have to start from scratch
the rest you dont

>>102200982
That's a good thing though, it's not a practical use of your time to manually ./configure and make your operating system.

Tooling like Gentoo's Portage was built to automate this and make your life easier. If you're curious how something is built then look at the .ebuild. If you're curious how Gentoo gets its stage3 and the distribution images are built then look into its Catalyst tooling.

You can do that with Gentoo, it's just a case of whether you value your time. If you don't then go with LFS.

I just installed Gnome on mint because I heard there were thumbnails in the file picker. I'm using the file picker on FireFox, no thumbnails. Any suggestions?

systemd-homed can be set up with cifs/smb, has anyone done that before?

>>102202011

gtk4 has thumbnails and Firefox still uses gtk3, so you have to punt to the xdg-portal api.

They don't just split documentation and development packages, they split libraries too. Pretty much every other day some retard complains about KDE depending on the VLC app on Arch because the retards don't split their packages.

They aren't even consistent in their philosophy either, they do split some packages for arbitrary reasons.

I'm a beginner and trying to run arch for the first time, and this is also the first time I see an error like this when trying to update.

How should I proceed in this situation? Do I wait and not update my system until syncthingtray updates their library, or is there a better way of solving this?
It's funny that something as robust as pacman can't deal with 2 versions of a library while flatpak can.

>>102205534
isn't syncthingtray deprecated? anyway it looks like a rebuild could fix it. uninstall it, upgrade and rebuild it.

trying to configure nix os . im still learning the language but there is something i dont quite get and cant find the answer in the documentation

what does it mean when an expression like this doesnt have an equal sign:

hostname = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem { ... some key value pairs }

why is it like this and not:

hostname = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem = { ... }

is nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem not a set?

>>102205534
The syncthingtray package is notoriously shit, it constantly has update issues. What generally fixed it for me was uninstalling it and then reinstalling it. But eventually I just got tired of it and stopped using it.

Been considering a chance from Ubuntu LTS (22.04) to Debian, but was curious what the state of KDE support was on Debian currently.
I'm looking for a _stable just werks_ desktop, but I've read about Debian's KDE lead maintainer leaving. Just don't want to change distros onlyn to end up on a dead end.

>>102209904
if you want to use debian stable, it's stuck on 5.27 which was a good, LTS version.

>>102209914
I'm fine with that as 5.27 is rather rock solid. I presently have it on 22.04 with the Kubuntu backports. I just want to know if Debian's general support of QT5+KDE is there. I honestly don't really want to jump to KDE 6.x for another year yet till things get smoothed out. I consider my desktop as a tool, not a hobby on to it self, and because of that I want to just know if Debian still has maintainers around the framework. I just simply want reliability.

Why am I unable to reopen a luks volume?

cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda2 NAME
pvcreate /dev/mapper/NAME

Here it bitches that the "physical volume not initialized"

pvcreate -ffy /dev/mapper/NAME
vgcreate vg0 /dev/mapper/NAME

Says everything is succesful but vg0 does not show in /dev and I can't mount anything from the luks volume. The only thing that shows up new is a dm-1 but that doesn't seem to do anything.
pvscan and vgscan all return something but lvscan returns nothing. It used to, because I already made volumes on it but it doesn't now.

Looking like it would be faster to start over with this install instead of trying to correct it.

if the values may have spaces.

You're right, but arch and aur package managers are responsible for making the whole process easy for an enduser to handle
attempting to do the same thing with debian is way more of a pain in the ass than it needs to be, and theres been several package managers that have attempted to do the "aur" method but none of them ever picked up enough popularity
it's not archs fault that debian cant provide a proper repository or system for users to create sane buildscripts that any enduser can easily use to build their own package, there's so many projects that support arch simply because they can put a packagebuild on the aur and point users to it for install instructions instead of having to go through the autism of the debian system just to get your package approved only for it to take forever to reach the next stable release

Linux is all about stability, if you don't have stability you are going to have a bad time. You need a system that can run for 5+ years without breakages.
Most distros do things in an imperative, chaotic way with no safety. Debian is stable but can still break easily and it has. Arch can be stable but still breaks. Can you trust them? No you cannot.

The imperative way of linux is completely outdated, installing everything into the same location. Enter rpm-ostree running on fedora kinoite/silverblue

installed linux mint 22 the other day and the screen keeps flickering.
installed ubuntu 24.04.1 and the same problem persists.
installed windows, screen flickering is cured.
i use an 8y.o laptop.
y does linux do this?

>>102213137
That only seems to be for KDE and gnome while running with a display manager

>>102212983
Are you talking about package stability or what?
>You need a system that can run for 5+ years without breakages.
Any system can do that: never touch or update it.
>>102212760
>attempting to do the same thing with debian
Can't compare AUR to packages of any sort.
>>102213234
*why does your hardware manufacturer do this?
Laptops are kinda snowflakey and require god knows what hardware tricks. They simply didn't care to program the specific quicks for the Linux kernel.

>>102212600
but linux mint is still broken for me.....

>>102213340
Even better, you are now free. Go outside and enjoy life in the real world.

Is there any downside to using x11 over wayland as an nvidia user? I wanted to try out a window manager, but dwm and i3 seem to be x11 only

>>102213320
I'm talking about OS stability

Debian is practically dead. It's outdated and old.

Arch is unstable and unsafe.

Immutable distros are the only way to go. The fact that peons can't even wrap their heads around it means its revolutionary.

It's literally the latest drivers and OS with no downside.

>>102213587
>latest drivers
You can do latest kernels with any distribution, the userland doesn't care.

>>102213587
>Arch is unstable
Not particularly.

>and unsafe.
Citation needed.

>>102213587
>Arch is unstable and unsafe.
Your issues in userspace are your responsibility

Don't worry it will. One day you'll update and it will be all over.

Arch published the backdoored xz library and it just happened to not work correctly on Arch.

>>102214120
I remind you the backdoor was targeting "safe" distros, and it hit at least one.

>>102214138
The Arch maintainers would not have published the backdoored xz if they knew about it. They were not careful enough. Hence, Arch is unsafe.

>>102193843
Am I missing something:
Aren't the ssh and gpg generated keys the same if using the same algorithm?

Couldn't I use the same key for signing packages and for git and for ssh-into a server?

Also how are certs generated with openssl different from the ones with gpgsm?

I keep forgetting and mixing things about keys and certs.

>>102214301
Do you audit everything you install? If not, you're not careful enough. Hence, you're unsafe.

Dumb question, but I'm running Artix with openrc. I set up QEMU virtual machine stuff a few weeks ago and it ran fine. Now I can't run any VMs cause I don't have a libvirtd.pid file. Any attempts to run libvirtd result in a crashed process due to missing the file. Hiwever, reinstalling, rebooting, and other troubleshooting measures won't fix it. Is there a way to make a pid file?

Does gnome have good dual display support? I use my TV for watching movies and have it hooked up with my monitor.

>>102214360
i am forced to use guhnome at work and it just works in my experience

>>102214333
It is not black and white, dummy. Yeah, you cannot audit everything and need some level of trust. However, package maintainers are expected to prevent stuff like this because they are the experts. Therefore, the large oversight is foreboding.

>>102211833
If only there were several better known monitoring programs which do give you that information, like htop, glances, or pcp.

>>102214492
>package maintainers are expected to prevent stuff like this because they are the experts.
HAHAHAHAHA

>>102214649
>be typical Linux user
>fuck up installing a package
>try to fix it
>Are you sure you want to do this? It will break your system.
>Yes do as I say
So yeah, package maintainers are the experts.

>>102214706
If you believe package maintainers actually audit anything there's a bridge I'd like to sell you.

ostree distros are freetards reinventing snapshots / incremental backups in the most ridiculous way possible.
>use flatpaks for 99% of applications
lol, pass

Why? It works just like Android and macOS, i.e. perfectly.

Got Gentoo installed. I don't know why more people don't consider it for old hardware.

The Good:
>Binary distribution kernel
>It pulled binary packages for most of LxQt and KDE
>Everything (almost) just works
>It feels just like Arch but with far more power and flexibility
The Bad:
>Changing USE flags ever so slightly is going to result in you having to compile instead of fetching a binary. So you enabled verify-sig, caps, man and bash-completion, fuck you!
>My make.conf file doesn't change much

COMMON_FLAGS="-O2 -march=native -pipe"
CFLAGS="${COMMON_FLAGS}"
CXXFLAGS="${COMMON_FLAGS}"
FCFLAGS="${COMMON_FLAGS}"
FFLAGS="${COMMON_FLAGS}"

CPU_FLAGS_X86="mmx mmxext sse sse2 sse3 ssse3"

FEATURES="${FEATURES} candy getbinpkg"
GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://my-local-mirror/gentoo ${GENTOO_MIRRORS}"

VIDEO_CARDS="fbdev intel i915 i965 vesa dummy lavapipe"

MULTIMEDIA_IMAGE_USE="apng avif png gif jpeg jpegxl webp"
MULTIMEDIA_AUDIO_USE="pipewire ogg vorbis flac mp3"
MULTIMEDIA_VIDEO_USE="vpx"
MULTIMEDIA_USE="${MULTIMEDIA_IMAGE_USE} ${MULTIMEDIA_AUDIO_USE} ${MULTIMEDIA_VIDEO_USE}"

USE="${USE} ${MULTIMEDIA_USE} bash-completion caps elogind gles2 lm-sensors nftables vaapi vdpau wayland xwayland"

Even just changing VIDEO_CARDS results in me needing to compile Mesa but I knew that and wanted to do it anyway to compile it with -march=native optimisations for the 0.1% speed boost.
The ugly:
>The Xorg drivers binary packages were built with a different ABI (not sure if this was my fault or Gentoo's but it seems like issues like that could crop up a lot if they don't have tooling to handle it)
>Wayland just does not work. Possibly to do to the age of the hardware. It should still work in theory though. I don't know why. I can't find anyone talking about it because understandably there's not a lot of people with old Pentiums running Gentoo.

>>102213252
The same applies without a display manager you just run the Exec= line manually or in your script, etc.

Yeah this works great.

how is that bad? ostree is FS agnostic.

I don't know if it's a too stupid question, but im trying to finally understand all the keys that are in use in linux and trying to distinguish which ones are actually the same things but in different contexts.

At job we use loads of certificates. I'd like to understand these better too.

Mostly from admin's or webdev's perspective

>>102215933
So is thin provisioned LVM.
