On Linux you can just set up a QEMU/KVM Windows VM via virt-manager or quickemu.

Anyone has any experience with Linux on tablets?

>>102648656
None but it should work fine (providing driver support of course). Both GNOME and KDE support touch input. Virtual keyboard support is still shit though.

Thanks for the help bros. Loving this linux mint install.

>>102648730
Even on the desktop there's a case for better virtual keyboard support too, for example, inputting emojis on Linux is very busted and somehow nobody has noticed.

GNOME has a very beautiful widget but its GTK only and some apps don't have it for some reason.

KDE has a shit app that copies emojis to the clipboard when it should really be a virtual keyboard.

The best way to input emoji that I've found is to use iBus (FCITX probably works too but I like iBus).

>>102648601
thanks I opted for quickemu because it seems easier to use

Does libvirt plan to support btrfs subvols as a storage pool the same way they do with zfs zvols and lvm?
I've never tried using LVM as a storage pool, how is it supposed to work exactly?

>>102649054
Does Red Hat plan to support that? Probably not. I guess somebody from the community would have to contribute that, even though BTRFS is stable and has been for some time now it's still treated like the devil within Red Hat.

That makes no sense otherwise fedora wouldn't be defaulting to btrfs on install. The only reason that rhel uses xfs over btrfs is supposed to be because they have no btrfs engineers while they have xfs engineers

>>102649291
Fedora is not Red Hat (even though they invest heavily in it).

For RHEL they're still pushing their Stratis garbage of XFS and LVM, everyone knows this is a joke compared to ZFS and BTRFS but it's still full steam ahead as far as they're concerned.

>>102648525
Yeah, that's what I gather. Well I don't have a fucking ARM Linux installation (yet), and there's barely any info on people wanting to archive a flathub package. It would have been nice to archive the flatpak. This is messed up though, it feels like the Linux ecosystem doesn't give a shit about preservation.

>>102649309
>Fedora is not Red Hat (even though they invest heavily in it).
Fedora IS Red Hat.
If Fedora is not Red Hat, try to make a change that affects RH - you will be shut down (by a RH employee) with some more or less made up reason. Check out: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/f42-change-proposal-fedora-plasma-workstation-system-wide/111343/159
There was no voting. Even if there was, I believe RH employees have a major stake in council, so you will be shutdown then. Red Hat can flood council with any members they like, because they are appointed. Community members are elected. See where it's going? It's just a theater.

"Fedora is not Red Hat" is bullshit for goys they tell to make it sound like Fedora is fully independent. They are somewhat independent, but still a subsidiary (like a company). I'm using Fedora BTW.

The reason that was shutdown was because 1) they submitted the proposal to the wrong place (it should have gone to the workstation group) and 2) all of the people on the Workstation SIG are GNOME users so it was never going to pass anyway. They're not going to vote for an "inferior" desktop environment. The whole thing is rigged.

>>102649689
The entire check function could be replaced with command -V progname, but even within that, he's reassigning $1 to a longer variable for no reason and creating a string variable for the result instead of just echoing within the if statement. This check function is called multiple times instead of being run once on an array with a for loop on $@ to run command -V on each item, but even that would be unnecessary, since command -V can take multiple arguments. It's bewildering how complicated he managed to make it. I feel like I'm reading Finnegan's Wake.

Then why are fedora so paranoid about the h264 codecs? Or the autism with that telemetry shit they keep pushing for even though the community rejects it?

>>102650317
I keep my desktops up-to-date but my servers and routers stay on LTS. I've been experimenting with L4S and TCP Prague lately and that's currently stuck on 6.6 (which is not even that out-of-date). They plan to mainline it at some point though.

Is it possible to specify which modules and hooks i want added to the initramfs on debian? The default initramfs is too big and the option to try to debloat it and guess which modules are the only ones needed didn't work.
Both dracut and mkinitcpio are able to do this but not whatever debian is using for some reason.

>>102650440
They are the legal entity responsible for the distribution and unfortunately they were stupid enough to set up shop in America instead of a nice freedom respecting country like Germany. It's ran by the community though, not by Red Hat.

It is very likely a kernel problem considering I did not have this problem for 8+ years. Unfortunately, this problem has existed for almost a year now even with all the new kernel releases since then.

>>102649054
No because btrfs subvolumes aren't block devices like zvols or lvs.

>>102649291
>>102649309
btrfs and zfs are not desirable for san or hardware raid, which is a lot of if not most enterprise storage

>>102650569
Hardware RAID is not desirable in the first place, the whole reason you're using BTRFS or ZFS is to avoid that plague.

>>102650587
Unfortunately it's still necessary if you're going to scale up to 12+ drives with good performance. Also applications like SAN where you're dealing with high level block storage. btrfs and zfs have too much overhead for these.

Can't compare kernels to userlands. Kernel doesn't have dependencies, it just runs.

>>102650790
It's the rate of updating I was comparing.

With btrfs, is it possible to "diff" two snapshots, or a snapshot with the current state?

>>102650822
Doesn't mean you have to stay on old branches. Kernel.org says anything's "stable" that's not a Release Candidate.

>>102650833
snapshots are just directories, if there's a diff tool or a way to compare the contents of two directories recursively you can just use that.

>>102650843
You know damn well "stable" isn't. The only actually stable Linux is LTS.

>>102650843
I don't, 6.6 is not that old. I will likely switch to the next LTS too.

The LTS on kernel.org moves a lot faster than most distros LTS kernels.

Doesn't say "LTS" anywhere on kernel.org.

>>102651722
XFS has reflink and very low overhead in terms of format size, CPU use, and write amplification, which makes it a natural fit for high performance SSDs (relative to CPU hash speed) and high level block storage systems which provide their own integrity guarantees.

Shrink, filesystem level encryption, and case insensitive mode are reasons to use ext4. A lot of end user focused distros like it for shrink and administrative simplicity vs btrfs.

Got a problem with chrome, some apps like the browser flicker and stop displaying. How to fix?

>>102652044
Problems with Gnome not chrome

>>102652022
Well shrink is never a problem for the majority of users. People set up their partitions once and never again.
I'm just wondering if there's any reason NOT to use XFS over EXT4 for all non-root drives.

>>102652022
Ext4 really is the filesystem of choice for people that just don't care.

It's good because it's generic and works in all of the cases you'd want it to, that's why distros tend to default to it still.

If you want features like snapshots (good for recovery but you might not care about the one time a year your system has a major fuckup and requires a chroot and live USB to fix it) then BTRFS is much better though. The write amplification is irrelevant (stop buying Chink SSDs) and the administrative complexity should be managed by your distribution (OpenSUSE manages it but if your distribution is DIY or built by retards then all you have to do install the btrfs-maintenance scripts and all your administration is taken care for you)

>>102652022
>>102652106
Nobody is disputing that BTRFS is best for root drives. The question is in XFS vs EXT4 for non root drives.

>>102652140
If you care about data checksums (not just metadata like XFS) then BTRFS is still the best choice.
If you don't care, then ext4, plain and simple.

>>102651796
>It is true that XFS has data integrity checks which EXT4 doesn't
Not really. You can do metadata checksums on both. Neither has data integrity. xfs uses metadata checksums by default because it has a dynamically metadata tree, so the penalty for it losing metadata is brutal. ext4 has a fixed size table, which wastes space and can never be resized, but that also means you know where the metadata is in a forensic recovery situation.

Additionally, with the driver version 545 and above, you can also set the experimental nvidia_drm.fbdev=1 parameter, which is required to tell the NVIDIA driver to provide its own framebuffer device instead of relying on efifb or vesafb, which do not work under simpledrm.

E.g. if you just install Ubuntu with the normal GNOME desktop then most things should just work, on mainstream hardware. Use Firefox or even Chrome as your browser and everything should be fine.

I'd go XFS for my next / FS. Btrfs has not let me down so far in terms of reliability, but performance is really poor, even on an SSD.
XFS advantage over EXT4 would be fast parallel ops. XFS tools are online-oriented - there's online scrub instead of fsck.
Be aware XFS by default uses 64 bit inodes (google it), so you'll run into problems using older 32-bit apps.

I don't mean big heavy proper "apps", but moreso the supporting tools that such apps expect, as they assume they live in a DE. For example, file manager wouldn't be on that list if Firefox and Transmission didn't have "reveal file location" buttons. Hopefully that makes sense.

im not good at this whole permissions thing, how do I just dump an entire directory and its subdirectories back into user only?

No, the kernels are on /boot and encrypted.
Only grub.efi is on a separte /efi partition.
There is no weaker encryption, LUKS2 works fully with the latest grub.

How do I get 5.1 sound working with a creative sound blister Z?

I tried a few things I found on the Web but it ended up crashing my system on boot so had to undo them.

I stalled Alsa and edited a couple of pulse audio configs but I've not seen anything else that might werk.

Thanks in advance, ui need sleep. Gentoo, systems and gnome if that matters.

Not really. They didn't even have much for online fsck until this year.

If a program assumes fixed inode size, it's broken. Going back quite some time.

For a sufficiently retarded config that's probably true, but it's not typical.

I have used GPU passthrough to due to some issues with my AMD card. I found SD virtualized complete ass when I have attempted. It should have been obvious, but not obvious to me is how much a pain in the ass having the GPU being disconnected from the main system. When you fire up qemu with passthrough it owns the card and very logically ignores your keyboard and mouse. I had to boot with a specific card and make sure X didn't attach and blah, blah, blah it was a fuck of a thing. Once it was working it was fucking fantastic and I ran with it for months. I would still be running it if I hadn't distro hopped.

Something about my setup is making installing a kernel, and maybe setting up Grub, impossible. Is it because I'm working Woody, but also with /dev/sda? I don't know if hdX was still the "standard" back then, but either way, nothing of that nature is showing up in /dev. Unless it's because I'm chrooting through newer install media

>>102659672
Well, apparently "hdX" was the answer, at least as far as installing a kernel is concerned. Installing Grub is another matter...

Hoping someone here can help me with an issue I've been having lately.

Recently I've been seeing a fair amount graphical corruption in GUI elements of random windows/programs. A lot of missing letters in random fonts too and occasionally a window won't update visual changes on its own (say, going into another menu but most parts of the graphics won't update without some sort of "push").

I haven't been able to find good info online. Someone mentioned running fc-cache -r which sort of helps with the text for a little bit.

I'm running Linux Mint Wilma 22 Xfce 4.18 on an RX480 and Ryzen 7 2700X. I've run a memory test recently so seemingly no problems with my RAM.
This started happening about a month ago but I don't know exactly when. Maybe a mesa driver update or something is the culprit?

Any suggestions?

That's usually the case unless your PC is 15+ years old or if it was owned by a neckbeard.
If your running Linux now you should see /sys/firmware/efi

UEFI if you ask me, simply because the ability to have multiple entries. Some neckbeards swear by the 1970's BIOS booting though but I'm not getting into that.

Does anyone here use a tiling WM on a large screen? I've been using Xfce, Cinnamon, Gnome for a decade and have used swaywm on a laptop.
But using a tiling WM on a large 40"+ screen is just fucking awful. Just opening a terminal sets the window in a far left/right corner and you have to sprain your neck to see something.
How the fuck do you use these tiling WMs on big screens? Has anyone done some research on this topic??

>>102658873
Pls respond

>>102662411
Nintendo had literally no case against Ryujinx because of emulation protections already in place. They're actual scum.

>>102662411
Why not just install it in the normal way and then copy the files to another location once they're downloaded. And maybe you can disable auto-updates for Flatpak so it doesn't get removed (I dunno if that's possible but you can disable auto-updates for Snaps so maybe you can with Flatpaks too)

Flatpaks don't even auto-update in the first place so there is nothing to disable. Once installed it'll be there forever.

>>102663103
If the intention is to avoid libraries then you probably shouldn't be using virsh at all and instead echo into the sysfs to bind/unbind the device manually.

>>102663103
Libvirt is just the name of the program/package
Virsh is part of libvirt

>>102663212
Guess what it links to:

$ lddtree -l $(which virsh) | grep virt
/usr/lib64/libvirt-lxc.so.0
/usr/lib64/libvirt-qemu.so.0
/usr/lib64/libvirt.so.0

>>102662620
>>102663131
It would still be nice to store a flatpak as an installable to be able to install it to other or future systems. From what I've gathered it's not even that simple sadly.

>>102663228
Whats your point? ofcourse it has it's own library, tons of programs do this.
You might as well lddtree libvirtd and then also be shocked that it links to libvirt.so

>>102663340
You're using the library is the point. Of course users use libraries. Next you'll be telling me you're shocked to find out libav is used every time you use Ffmpeg.

If you want to go out of your way to avoid libraries then you can replace those virsh commands with a few simple calls to echo writing to the sysfs. Really though, just use Libvirt, it makes all of this easy, you can turn all of that script into an XML file to consume by libvirtd and then your script simply becomes

virsh start/stop MYVM

Can't hear you over my LUKS2 argon2id GRUB install.
Not that PBKDF2 isn't strong enough.
Argon2id's only advantage over PBKDF2 is low iterations by being GPU resistant to bruteforce cracking. If you care that much you can just use two-fish with regular grub. Argon2id is not needed for security here.

>>102663421
Maybe.
Passthrough with Qemu is a pain, it's much easier to set everything up in virt-manager once and then never have to worry about it again.

Libvirt is also an abstraction which comes in handy because Qemu likes to change their fucking command line arguments all of the time so you can't just copy and paste something and expect it to work.

Not him but if /boot is encrypted then surely it's harder for a potential (unlikely) attacker to modify your system? If it's not encrypted then they could replace a file with a malicious file, but if it's all encrypted then surely the malicious file would have to be encrypted with the same password as everything else

I dunno, maybe I'm wrong, I'm a Linux noob

>>102663938
This is what secure boot and universal kernel images are for. Grub presents a huge attack surface over something like a small stub loader with kernel and initramfs embedded, even Microsoft had to push an update that bricked Grub on certain systems because people were using it to attack Windows.

You don't need encrypted boot. If you live in a repressive regime that will literally torture you if you run Arch (by the way) then you need something better than Grub.

>>102664264
It would be better to file bug reports to the programs bitching at you. The whole reason we have the locale system is to allow for things like this in the first place, if they're going to complain at you because your units don't match your language, etc, then what's the point?

Reasoning being even today Linux gives me a mishmash of "C library" and local language as the support isn't fully there.

>>102664366
I meant what's the point of this fancy locale system if everything is going to bark and complain at you.

Whatever issue they're having is just between those applications. The issue should be reported and fixed.

How can I block an emulator from seeing my controller on Linux? I mapped it on qjoypad but it conflicts with mGBA and I can't edit or turn off or do anything with the controller mapping on mGBA.

>>102664234
encrypting your boot wont protect you from a five dollar wrench anon

Taking advantage of that anon talking about locales...
Would anyone have an inkling why Arch keeps nuking my /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive seemingly at random? Sometimes it happens when I run pacman, other times it's gone after a reboot, every time I have to manually run locale-gen to regenerate it and stop locale-aware programs from shitting themselves.

>>102664382
If someone is going to wrench me then I will simply die. The five dollar wrench attack only works on people whom are attached to life.

>>102664397
Sounds like user error. Never had that happen. You did something weird with your configs or pacman hooks.

why is the arch linux wiki so freaking outdated and degraded?
why are so many articles plain unhelpful?
people used to brag about the arch linux wiki being the best, but look at the thing now, just what the fuck happend?

Even reFind is more complex than it needs to be but at least it looks good so it has that going for it.

Looks like Bcachefs is going to replace Btrfs and ZFS.
It's already merged into kernel since 6.7 and snapper has added support for it too.
Now we just need a grub-bcachefs, and snap-pac/snap-pac-grub support for it.
Very interdasting.

Wait till you hear about a thing called GRUB!
>>102664202
What's the real Gentooman UEFI solution for "full disk encryption"?
Currently booting EFI-stubs with unencrypted root filesystem. No initramfs.

>>102664522
I've never gotten this whole thing with GRUB being "complex" when all you need to do to set it up properly is two fairly simple commands.

>>102664532
Complex in terms of implementation not ease of use. It has a huge attack surface, it comes with a shell, all it's missing is a good text editor and it'd be a usable OS unto itself.

>>102664532
I think that way back GRUB required manually editing the settings to get kernels and shit into the bootloader at startup. And only then do you do the two commands to make it work.

>>102664532
You aren't seeing all the work your distro put in all those wonky scripts running under the hood.

>>102664522
Only GRUB offers full disk encryption for /boot. You need to use a /efi partition instead of a /boot partition.
The grub menu won't even show until you have decrypted it with the password.
EFI partition can be as small as 1mb if you don't use FAT32, with FAT32 it can be as small as 36mb.
If you want argon2id you need to compile grub with the .patch files from here; https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/grub-improved-luks2-git

>>102664294
Unfortunately I doubt it would help. They're generally only interested in supporting the standard locales
>>102664318
I'll try this, maybe it'll work
>>102664350
LANG is already set to en_US, the other things trip it up

>>102664592
>Only GRUB offers full disk encryption for /boot.
Still nobody has given a single good reason why you need to encrypt this. Secure boot is enough to detect tampering (when used with universal kernel images).

>>102664318
>>102664636
Hey this actually seems to have worked. Thanks for the idea. I just set everything to en_US and set my kde settings how I wanted them to be.

>>102664428
What could possibly be deleting /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive? I have no pacman hooks, and all I've done to locale configs is uncomment out a few extra entries in locale.gen and my locale.conf just looks like this:

LANG=en_US.UTF-8                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
LC_TIME=en_GB.UTF-8

It doesn't matter what other locale is in use, if I set any LC_* option in this file the archive randomly disappears.

No thanks backdoor NSAsoft.
It's just that I'm not going to use your hardware security is all. Sorry (not sorry).

>>102664709
You are welcome.

>>102664738
See >>102664318
and try setting the full file, or at least LC_ALL, since LC_ALL replaces all the LC_ options.

>>102664745
yet, you're relying on the hardware to properly do the encryption for you.

>>102664772
Shh, don't tell him the CPU is probably backdoored too. Time to move their tinfoiled ass to RISC-V.

Doesn't hurt to maximize your security over the options you have control over. There are no downsides to doing it. So why are you so against it HMMMMMMM?

>>102664693
secure boot is one of the most overrated pieces of shit ever
why would you trust something that allows microsofts signing key by default? there's probably an nsa signing key in there as well.

>>102664804
Except it does hurt. Proper security has to come from the hardware and firmware. If you start with the premise that it's all compromised then you can't in good conscience use that machine in the first place.

>>102664346
any nigga around?

>>102664820
You can revoke their keys and use your own.

>>102664522
The only thing that cant be encrypted is your efi directory and the kernel img. What you can do is either mount your efi partition on /boot or mount it somewhere else like /efi and copy the kernel over. Systemd-boot can kind of automate the latter.

>>102664821
More like hurts you and makes your job difficult, hard, and annoying, Mr. NSA agent.

>>102665143
It's impossible to be hardware independent yet still be secure. Why do you think everyone else uses Secure Boot? No, it's not because it's pozzed, there is no other way to secure the system, you have to start from the top down.

>>102665104
You can use Freetube and it won't be a problem. Just make sure you configure Freetube properly.

there are plenty of more important things you can do before Secure Boot is even a consideration.

>>102665171
You may as well ask why everyone uses Windows. What "everyone" does is meaningless. "Everyone" drinks soda.

I just figured out secure boot for /efi with GRUB and luks2 argon2id full disk encryption.
Now what?

>>102665232
I don't use secureboot either, its overrated. The only thing it's good for is against an evil maid attack assuming microsoft or the glowies dont have a backdoored signing key embedded on a lower level of the bios. But if you're worrying about an evil maid attack then there's bigger issues to be concerned about than an evil maid attack

>>102665277
Now to throw away all your effort and distro hop.

>>102665296
My protection against an evil maid attack is not having a maid

>>102665313
I'm already secured against it by not valuing my life, or to better explain it; if the world falls to a point where federal agents beat me with a wrench for my password, then it's a world I won't be living in.

>>102665232
>>102665296
So let me get this straight, you encrypt your /boot because "reasons" (don't know what these are, nobody has given a good when except fear mongering) but do nothing to protect against somebody replacing grub.efi with a backdoored version that can instantly pwn you?

That's what she wants you to think

>>102665471
Encrypting your /root filesystem makes sense but there's zero reason to encrypt your /boot drive though. It's not a secret that you run Arch (by the way) and there are better ways of preventing tampering.

>>102665430
I do not encrypt my /boot.
I have no protection against someone replacing my bootloader, as people capable of doing so would just van me and throw me into a hole until I tell them the password anyway.
What's protected is my data, not the machine. If someone steals it they can install a different OS on it.

>>102665530
Sensible. You don't need much more than that anyway and 90% of the attacks on your boot chain are completely theoretical anyway unless you're a high value target and retarded enough to install software outside of your distros repositories or somehow get yourself infected with malware.

>>102664768
Tried that before, didn't make a difference.
The point is to have en_US as default/display language (I don't like translations), but with a sane date format and my local numeric/currency formats, etc, and input locale. Running locale-gen at boot seems to work, but it takes a moment and delays everything.

I've now setup an auditd filter to try and find out what the fuck is wrecking the locale-archive.

Best is probably to remove it forcibly with something like

pacman -Rdd pamac

then upgrade pacman and then reinstall pamac with whatever helper your using and let it sort everything out.
