Devuan. It's debian with openrc, runit or sysvinit instead of systemd

>>102852523
basically. it's one of those things where whoever got there first gets embedded so hard that it's very difficult to change it later
at this point windows is popular because it's popular, it's what everyone uses and what software is made to run on, therefore it's what people learn to use and develop software for, it's a self-maintaining position. you have to go against the grain to use something else, and nearly nobody really wants to do that, it means less software options and less employee options. there needs to be some benefits stronger than that, and that's a hard thing to beat

Government needs to mandate Linux to fight the microkike.

>>102852733
on top of that, if you have an existing windows environment, you may have a lot of documents in formats specific to windows-only software. this is also a major issue for potential converts. if you're starting from scratch, it's much easier, but document compatibility is a major issue as well, if you or people you get documents from use something else, it's another issue to deal with
as an example i draw machines in solidworks, even if freecad got good enough for me to use, which i'd love to do, it's not going to be very easy to switch to it, because i already have years worth of parts drawn up in solidworks, which i would have to do again. just having a good alternative to a program isn't always enough

>>102852802

>>102852876

>>102852802

What's your go to choice for cross platform synchronization between Android, Linux and Windows? I also may or may not need to attach pictures >2MBs for my notes so that kinda rules Git sync out. I was thorn between Joplin and Obsidian. I amn't a fan of Joplin using SQlite instead of plain files out of paranoia, but otherwise is truly Foss and promotes self hosting a sync alternative, which is nice. Obsidian seems nice but is propietary and requires setting up sync manually.

how much trouble can I expect to run into trying to get secure boot working with a dual boot windows and arch on a newer thinkpad?

Someone pill me how Artix fares in comparsion to EndeavourOS. Isn't it no systemd pretty much? And what does OpenRC mean? I still don't know shit about OpenRC

Yes, it really is that easy. One wonders why more distros don't do this by default (besides OpenSUSE). This is something that'd benefit Debian and Ubuntu users but of coming their installer can't do anything useful.

Yes, it's not as bad as people make it out to be. Depending on your level of Linux experience it will either be straight forward or you will end up reinstalling a few times because you did something wrong during the install.

Once you have it installed and stable it is pretty comfy and you can fix anything that gets broken without needing to install again.

In the previous thread I said that Safari Browser in an iDevice cannot view HTTPS certificates. This isn't entirely correct. When you first go to https://10.0.0.200/ you will see a warning since you setup a self-signed certificate there. That warning page is at
>file:///System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/SafariShared.framework/CertificateWarning.html
You can click a thing in that webpage to view the certificate. Then you can go back and click/tap yes trust it and proceed to website. After that, as long as you don't reboot the device, you both won't see that local warning webpage again and won't be able to look at the cert again. (Can't paste that file:/// link in the address bar for some reason.)

What's a good linux distro for a gaming desktop
I've been running windows 10 on it so far but I'm considering upgrading my storage and reinstalling everything

For context, here are the distros I've already used:
>debian: I don't like the ecosystem, I don't like the culture of "backporting" features/fixes instead of just making the new version available
>void: used it for a while but I don't necessarily trust its future in terms of maintenance efforts
>gentoo: it's what I'm running on my laptop, but it's a hassle to maintain (every now and then I have to mask a package, untangle some use flags, manually prepare for an upgrade, etc.) and I really don't want to deal with that kind of things on my desktop

I would most likely run KDE, which I've never ran before but again the idea is to have things "just werk" as much as possible, and I'll be installing proprietary games and steam anyway so bloat or whatever is a complete non-factor.
I'm considering unironically Arch, for being rolling release and relatively well-maintained, and probably less brittle on upgrades than gentoo due to having less customisation and thus fewer moving parts. Thoughts?

>>102860488

I use it btw, currently on lightdm because sddm is also fucked for me.

>>102860818
Void was with runit. (Do they even have openrc as an option?)
Artix is interesting, but again this is currently running fucking windows, I want the easiest solution not the most purist one. I rather expect stock arch will be more stable, more well-tested and more "just werks" than a fork maintained by a smaller team tasked with replacing the entire init system.

>>102860823
Well shit, on the other hand it's also what valve uses. Guess I won't know if it'll work for me until I try it.

Just use Fedora, it's the best!

>>102860883
openRC is very stable. the Artix team mainly work on adding better compatibility for systemD to openRC packages, but since you don't care about openRC Arch is definitely the better option

>>102861003
Yeah I'm sure openrc is stable, it's just that it's a lot of packages that might have systemd scripts that need to be re-written and independently maintained for openrc.

I'll go with arch over artix, but does anyone else have any comments/suggestions regarding my wish to play steam (or non-steam wine) games out of the box?

is it worth it? to switch over completely to something like bazzite and just ditch windows all together in favor of a virtual machine if needed? are there any crazy downsides to this i dont know about? im really new to all this and just want to know if theres any reason i should maybe wait on it

>>102861453
Assuming you are a neet since you posted kaguya, there isn't much issue moving to loonix if you are willing to spend a while learning new things, bazzite seems to be a moderately complex distro with a bunch of programs tailored for gayming and just werks, i recommend you install both linux and windows in the virtual machine if you are going with bazzite, install something simple but not just werks like Arch in the virtual machine just so you learn a few useful things like managing non GUI stuff and how to use a package manager, i assume bazzite is just gonna have a software store or some shit but it is still nice to get to know things better in case you need something specific or need to fix something

Exactly, and they'd deserve any trouble caused by this.

>>102858616
Because it doesn't run those commands it runs a shitty Package kit abstraction. On other distros like Apt based ones there's a dedicated backend for it.

>wine stuff
Nothing like that should show up. Unless you meant "windows stuff", which could be relevant as I asked so we could see your storage layout. I don't even see your root.

You wrote 4358-CAAB the first time and 435B-CAA8 on the second post. If you edited /etc/fstab at any point, make sure you didn't mistake the B for an 8 or vice-versa. That's the only reason I can think of for the message, a power loss wouldn't have caused this, especially with an EFI partition, otherwise the system probably wouldn't boot at all. Consider temporarily adding "nofail" to the mount options to allow the boot to continue without it mounted. You'll have to do it manually later.

No idea what to do, still.

I'm planning to switch back to a Window manager from KDE but I've always struggled with feature parity. Things like automounting external disks, lockscreen, bluetooth/wifi managers, notifications, "now playing" icon in the dock, adjusting multiple displays, brightness and probably several other things I'd only realize that are missing once I move to a WM.
Do you guys have any lists or guidance on the best way to get back all these features? Also a way to make them follow (at least a little bit) the overall theme? Just dark mode would be enough, but I remember feeling pain whenever I had to connect to a bluetooth because of the ugly white screen jumpscares.
I thought about followign someone elses rice but they rarely list the stuff they use.

I haven't used Ubuntu in years but I doubt Wine snaps are being mounted in the initramfs. I would edit /etc/fstab to see if adding nofail to the options for the 435B-CAA8 filesystem allows the boot to succeed. Look for something like this:

UUID=435B-CAA8      /boot/efi       vfat     rw,...   0 0

Add "nofail" where the ... is and reboot. See if that gets you through.

dns woes. can anyone help me with this riddle?
this is on ubuntu 24 vps
/etc/resolv.conf has 127.0.0.53, so local resolved
`resolvectl status` shows a server on Global, if i `dig @` with that address it works, if i try with 127.etc (like the rest of the system) it gets no answer
`systemctl status systemd-resolved` prints Status: "Processing requests..."
also, weirdly journalctl shows no entries since like a month ago, even though i restart the server and/or service in all ways imaginable

win11 pulling the bullshit recall integration into the explorer is the last straw, im switching to linux with the next hw upgrade

im running nvidia with triple monitors, main focus is gaming and HDR support + solid desktop environment is needed (i dont want to bother with command window if i don't have to)
which distro should i go with? pop, kubuntu, base debian? something else?

So I'm having some really bad issues with eduroam. My laptop won't stay connected more than 2 minutes without disconnecting, and even when connected it won't load anything. Most of the time it gives me an issue with wlan0 authentication timing out, though today it started giving me an issue with IP configuration. I have yet to have an issue with my hotspot, only eduroam. Before these problems started, I had been running everything find for a few months without issue.
This problem started about a month ago when I was running Artix. I used my laptop as a router to connect two devices for about an hour, turned off the hotspot, and went home for the weekend. I didn't use my laptop over the weekend, and when I came back and tried to connect the issues started. I tried a few quick fixes, and nothing worked. So I thought maybe I needed to wipe NetworkManager, so I uninstalled it and deleted all the configs. Reinstalled and it still didn't work. Tried some more stuff and got nowhere, but some fixes were systemd specific. I wasn't good enough at openrc to figure it out, so I just tried Arch. I installed arch, made sure everything was set up properly, and the issue has persisted.
In summary, I cannot connect to a WPA2/PEAP network with NetworkManager and I have tried:
>OpenRC NetworkManager
>systemd NetworkManager
>reinstalling NetworkManager
>reinstalling the OS
>trying a different distro
>Static IP
>Static MAC address
>custom config files
>template config files
>automated config files
>anything under the sun involving wpa_supplicant
>dhcpcd
And nothing is working for me at this point. At this point I'm wondering if it's possible I've fucked my network card in to some sort of broadcasting mode when I was running as a router. Is there any way I could check for this issue, or should I just learn to not forget my hotspot in the future?

Maybe Tumbleweed?
Rolling release that is stable for everyone, and even if something shits the bed, it's easy to restore your system.
Also pretty good with KDE, which seems to be the main DE.
People don't talk enough about Tumbleweed.

>>102862104
It's literally what dwm is made for. If you're already a cnile then you even have the exact skill required to do it.
>or should I just stick with hyprland
Although since you said that - Hyprland is a wayland compositor, and dwm is on X11. If the "features you need" is porting dwm to wayland... then yeah, probably just stick to Hyprland.

Lads, a few years ago I was told that the nvidia gpu drivers for laptop cards on Linux were pretty terrible. Is that still the case?

>>102865183
You know that actually sounds like an interesting option.
>rolling release that is stable for everyone
This seems to be surprisingly rare, void was my first full-time distro and in the ~6 years that I used it I think updates broke exactly once. And that was due to a bug or issue in xbps itself that then got fixed, IIRC, not due to package issues or conflicts.

Arch is notorious for breaking but Gentoo has also really disappointed me so far with this. I think I'm gonna give Tumbleweed a try, thanks anon. I had forgotten it exists.

>>102862750
what about netcat? nc
so like;

$ zstd -c /path/to/image.raw | nc <server ip> <port>

while on vps;

# nc -lp <port> | zstd -d /dev/sda

>>102864935
Adding on to this, would using netctl give me a better chance or is this issue possibly deeper than that?

Help please,
im using fedora silverblue and on the left side its the native firefox and on right its chrome from flatpak

the firefox font rendering looks good while chrome is not. i think this is due to chrome being a flatpak app and does not have access to system fonts?

i have searched how to have better non english font support for flatpak but the workarounds didnt work.

>>102864668
It's not worse. It's just Arch with some hand holding.

That's where you're wrong its hook system makes setting up complicated wired network setups a breeze. I use that to configure load balancing across my two network interfaces using nexthop routing.

Same as >>102867872
Perhaps a simple way to ask this would be:

>>102867685
dunno but if you want to mess with flatpak permissions and you're running GNOME, get Flatseal.

>>102867685
Chrome browsers just have their own font rendering.

I think I figured it out. A firewall on another router in my network was blocking the forwarding. The reason adding the lladr directly works is because it's then switched instead of routed.

>>102870003
The usecase for this by the way is a web server that binds to a dedicated IP address per website.

e.g

192.168.43.1 fd:443::1
192.168.43.2 fd:443::2
etc

It's technically "on-link" (these addresses are set on br-lan which is the LAN bridge on OpenWRT) but I couldn't figure out how to get OpenWRT to announce a more specific route to it. The addresses are all /128, if I add a /64 then netifd picks it up and routes that to clients which then start using the prefix themselves (not what I wanted, I just want to announce a route).

I did find the setting in the end but because I use multiple routers sometimes the other router would get picked hence why the firewall had to be set right on it.

The lesson here is always blame your firewall. It's always its fault.

>>102869622
Say whatever you want

>>102870072
The IPv4 addresses just get picked up and work like magic by the way. I don't know if ARP works differently to Neighbour Discovery and that's why it works fine without a route.

Is uBlock Origin Lite noticeably worse than uBlock Origin?

Are non-LTS versions of Ubuntu less stable? I don't mind having to upgrade in 9 months time or whenever it is.

>>102870163
The clue is in the name. The "lite" is Manifest v3, it's entirely declarative which means it's up to the browser to do the blocking instead of uBlock Origin. Supposedly this is better for resources but it can't do as much. It doesn't require any extended permissions though so it has that going for it.

>>102870284
yes and no

>>102870284
Yes. Ubuntu tries new unstable things like they did with early Wayland during non-LTS.

What is currently the best way to make Linux look like Windows XP? I tried xfce-winxp-tc and it kinda works but I'm looking for something easier to install and automatically configure.

https://github.com/rozniak/xfce-winxp-tc

>>102870325
Wayland has never been unstable unless your name is Nvidia and making such changes during an LTS cycle would be even worse.

>>102870306
Interesting answer

>>102870325
Fair enough. Maybe I'll just try the non-LTS version anyway because it has software I want, which isn't found in earlier versions

what is the best TCP congestion control for a high latency (~650ms) 100Mbit satellite connection with ~7% packet loss

>>102870400
Maybe I should have clarified. Ubuntu added Wayland by default to one of the non-LTS releases, but Gnome with Wayland was still too buggy, so the next release Wayland was no longer the default.

>>102870470
Specifically it was buggy on Nvidia so they made that decision. Fedora was already defaulting to it at that time (I don't remember if RHEL was too or if that came later).

This was back when Nvidia was still trying to fight everyone instead of cracking on and doing their job like they are now.

>>102870622

Because they are now? What do you mean?

>>102870958
Security on Linux is a lost stricter than Windows. Might be a pain but at least you know you PC is secure against attacks.

>>102852408
The biggest seller for Windows is that it’s stable, which means it has support and teams to maintain that.

Meanwhile Linux is like 70% paranoid schizos who hate sending error reports/system reports, and the devs are normally autists who refuse to do anything they don’t personally explicitly use/need (see ebussy meme).

Linux requires some knowledge to do stuff, and often needs a terminal, meanwhile most normies don’t even know what a cmd looks like beyond what hackers use in media. So windows is safer and more user friendly

Try Ubuntu and make sure your wifi works before installing. If it is not working, use the drivers app in Ubuntu to install it. Good Linux distros for beginners are Ubuntu, Linux Mint, and Fedora.

For what purpose?

Probably something delay based like TCP Vegas or BBR:
