Anon, I'm sorry to inform you about this but SharePoint alone has a higher yearly revenue than the totality of Red Hat. Outside of 'tech companies' Windows Server is pervasive; check out the stories involving dental software, even mentioning Unix can result in businesses refusing to work with you.
>>
>>103175736
Also Dynamics, It's very, very likely your local government is built-on it, It's fucking everywhere.
>>
>>103175766
Government uses whatever you sell them and since lobbying is pervasive Windows wins hands down. They will bribe their way into your city, like how Microsoft moved their Europe headquarters to Munich to shutdown their Linux program.

>>103175736
No idea why dentists take such a fancy though. Is there any particular reason for that?
>>
>>103175815
You go into dentistry for the sole reason of making money, they skimp on everything to maximize profit so after a couple of decades of utilizing a software package that hasn't been supported since the 90's they'll simply replace said software without upgrading the hardware so companies are heavily incentivised to support OS's all the way down to 2000.
>>
>>103175968
Makes sense, it's just an abrasive attitude to change then. Linux should run fine on hardware like that and probably be more secure but this is medical records we're talking about, using insecure software from the 2000s is par for the course.
>>
>>103174896
Ubuntu server and fedora server is nothing but just ubuntu and fedora without a desktop environment
There's no reason why you cant install ubuntu/fedora server and install whatever desktop you want ontop of that.

>>
>>103176055
If you took them you'd realise Linux could save these companies money from not having to license Windows, etc.

The medical industry is full of proprietary crap though. It's hard to crack when they have such a Windows stranglehold.
>>
>>103175983
Don't forget about Office, I don't know of any dental software that doesn't have a heavy dependency on it to function properly. Whenever you hear about people in healthcare complaining about being forcibly migrated to Epic keep in mind they're actually complaining about being migrated away from software which still hasn't fully modernized from DOS (See: GPASS).

anyone knows a way to get xdg-desktop-portal-gnome working outside of gnome? like a random wayland compositor. i'm using river and nixos. I'd like the new file chooser with grid view from gtk4 and earlier I've been trying to get the kde portal to work and it did work but I couldn't get it to theme consistently with the rest of the system and it had some other weird behaviors with thumbnails.
the furthest I've gotten with the gnome portal is getting it to start the user service but it fails with "Non-compatible display server, exposing settings only."
I tired setting XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=gnome and XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP=gnome
but those didn't help either.
If anyone knows how to theme the file picker from xdg-desktop-portal-kde I'd also be willing to go back to that. for that one i tried qt5ct/qt6ct, setting QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME to kvantum and trying that but nothing I did resulted in anything changing and I'm at a complete loss now. Other kde programs themed fine with these changes though ex. setting qt6ct to kvantum and kvantum theme to beige made dolphin beige.

The shortcut can be set in:

The second Super press is only needed if it freezes after switching, which it does on my system. It somehow unfreezes or refreshes the screen.

Use Lutris or Heroic Games Launcher for games instead of plain Wine. There are dozens of forks of Wine and Proton, and both Lutris and HGL make it easy to use the best one for each game.
Just note that if you're trying to run some Unity or Unreal engine slop, it's going to be slow no matter what.
>>
>>103178021
Nah, it's probably that the game runs into some wine error causing a busy loop or something. Older games (pre DX9) may run into such things.

CPU did spike a bit on my system for a few seconds after going upstairs at the start, but just barely. I didn't play past that point.
>>
>>103178765
It spike heavily through the rest of the game, playing the game AMV actually make it go down.
I tried messing with graphic settings, didn't help much.
I guess everything is being done on the CPU, and these game were designed with single CPU in mind.
I tested compatibility modes and don't work either.

It asks that question because it'll heavily limit the number of distributions available to you if you say yes, you need 32-bit support. Arguably the site asks too many unnecessary questions for things most people don't care about but the recommendations are sensible at least. I got Arch and Gentoo which are spot-on (I use Gentoo).

Most of the tooling is the same (Pacman, makepkg, etc). Your Arch knowledge transfers over. The only thing that's different is the init system and even then it's just knowing a few different commands:
>rc-update add/del <SERVICE>
Instead of systemctl enable/disable <SERVICE>
>rc-service <SERVICE> status/stop/start/restart
Instead of systemctl status/stop/start/restart <SERVICE>

That's it!

I lost access to my Firefox Account (included mail, it was a burner one), only device that's still logged on it is a backup phone. Is there a way i can use ADB from Linux to grab those bookmarks? If not, What happens if you log out from a device and log in with another account? Will this delete the bookmarks already on the device?
>>
>>103180644
this is why you don't use burner mails for long running accounts you dingus
>>
>>103180397
The bar is correct but the percentage is actually system RAM not VRAM. I don't know why that is but it seems like a bug.

Ignore the Furmark FPS, it would be higher but I'm running a ROCm workload in the background which is what's using the VRAM. Furmark didn't do fuck all to VRAM, so I essentially made a worst case bottleneck scenario maxing GPU utilisation and VRAM at the same time.

I also normally use a 20px panel height but made it 50px for illustration purposes. The red bar is correct though so I can easily eyeball it and know roughly how much VRAM is being used.
>>
Is a kick in the balls develop software in Linux for Windows? Is it even possible? I'm tired of Windows.
>>
>>103180742
Yeah, it doesn't look like I have VRAM usage in percentages at all. Only bytes, which breaks the bar chart since every other thing on there is in percentages.

It's fine for my usage because I only wanted a single bar anyway. I don't know why the tooltip is wrong though. Where is it plucking that from? It's reporting system RAM instead.

>>
>>103180994
It shouldn't wipe out the other loader entries but may make itself the default entry, not that it matters since you know how to fix things anyway.

With Windows being the default loader entry it should still be possible to access your BIOS boot menu and boot the other loader entries from there. Ideally you would have installed Windows first though, doing so prevents 90% of the issues you'd ever encounter.

How do I get audio to stop clipping in Wine?
Please bros... I'm this close to going back to Windows.
Any suggestions or search terms will be greatly appreciated.
I think the clipping has something to do with Linux doing 48000 hz audio while Wine or the Windows apps do 44100. Nothing I've tried has worked. I'm very confused by the way Linux audio even works, like how apps decide to use pipewire or pulse or alsa or if they're even different or the same or what.

I think the container type is LXC. Chrome OS is Gentoo based and super fast, but the optional Linux container is Debian.

Fyde OS supports Android if you want it.

Replace them with the actual URLs of the invidious instances you want to search.

Gathering a list of public invidious URLs is left as an exercise for you.

>>103186007
What I had in mind was something automatic like ytsearch1 that searchs in an existing invidious database and pulls off a invidious url out of it.
..considering invidious instances tends to drop a lot, that'd help me considerably.
>>
>>103186034
Well, ytsearch just searches youtube.com because there is only one single YouTube instance.

You'd probably have to gather a list by hand. yt-dlp could do that but it'd probably become stale very fast.

Maybe something that saves all available/online instances, saves em in a text file, then choose one of those instances (randomly) to perform a yt-dlp search based on a title?

Thanks for the help, anon. I really appreciate it. It turns out pipewire was the actual problem. The release notes for current Mint even show how to uninstall it if there are issues (which like a retard I didn't read).

So I uninstalled it with the commands in the release notes, it defaulted back to pulse and now everything in Wine sounds perfect. This is game changing for me as a musician and I'll be sticking with Linux.

It doesn't really matter except in Pro Audio scenarios where you'd just use something like:
https://github.com/wineasio/wineasio

It'd be nice if they'd support Pipewire natively but in practice the JACK emulation is decent and you can also run Pipewire on-top of JACK too if you really want to which will net you even lower latency anyway.

Something I haven't been able to get working since (halfway) switching my home network from Pulse to Pipewire is playback over the network, which I actually use.

It's a PAM module that's doing that and it's a pretty common default for most distros nowadays. My Gentoo system does the same thing.

>>103184791
30 minutes isn't unusual for an IDE drive of that size. If you don't want to copy the entire disk you should at least use a file manager that lets you verify files during transfer. Double Commander will do that.
If I were you I would run a "chkdsk c: /f" command on the drive from a Windows PC (or a Windows-based boot disc) before transferring anything off.

>If I were you I would run a "chkdsk c: /f" command on the drive from a Windows PC (or a Windows-based boot disc) before transferring anything off.
ok
Why?
>>
>>103188845
I'm assuming the drive is from an old Windows system since you didn't specify and it's the most common scenario. The command just checks the filesystem for errors and repairs them if found. If it's a Linux filesystem you can do a comparable scan with any disk manager. It's good practice to repair any filesystem errors before copying everything from a drive.
>>
>>103188652
You doubt the reliability of the drive or its power supply which means you are risking filesystem damage. If you really don't want to use ddrescue then just mount it read only and rsync the directories you want.
>>
>>103189111
I see.
I was thinking of just getting into the drive and copying some of the folders instead of copying the whole drive.
Linux can't fix windows filesystem?
>>
>>103189140
>then just mount it read only and rsync the directories you want.
Now this sound more practical
How to mount a drive in read only? And Rsunc flags?
>>
>>103189154
mount /dev/whatever -t whateverfs -o ro /path/to/mountpoint

rsync -avx
>>
>>103188681
Why would you give the drive any opportunity to fuck up that doesn't involve transferring data off it? Like, chkdsk runs on heuristics. It's not 100% guaranteed the chkdsk 'solution' will be better than the problem, and it won't be reversible if you do it on the original drive.

You don't, it wouldn't know anything about files. It copies blocks from a block device.

I'd do an image in an instant, I can spare 80 gigs no problem.
>I don't need the whole 80 GB.
Need? Irrelevant. Idea is to have a snapshot of the damn thing so you can dig that instead of rape the drive further.
>>103180994
The meme was relevant back in BIOS days when you had a singular boot sector per drive.
Separate physical drives don't play any role any more, we have boot entries now and you can have billions and billions of bootable operating system or other UEFI-things.
>>
>>103184791
if there's any question regarding how long the drive will last, and given it's old enough to be IDE, that should be a given, then do a ddrescue image. it's only 80GB, it's not a large file by today's standards, then you can pick the image apart however you want
making an image is the fastest and least intensive (no seeking) method of getting everything off a drive, and ddrescue is the best way to make an image off a drive in unknown condition. be sure to specify a map file in case there are any issues so the operation can be resumed later

Boot up a third party system and do the migration.
Read up on Gentoo/Arch or similar installation guide but when you get to the bootstrapping part: copy over your old system instead. (in a way it's also bootstrapping). Then continue reading to make it all bootable.

A lot of stuff uses PAM. Arguably, swaylock should too but it's based off of i3lock and since i3lock doesn't do it, it doesn't do it either.

PAM is pretty neat, it allows you to unlock with your fingerprint or setup two step authentication, etc. None of that is possible when the lock screen doesn't use PAM, or if it is possible it has to duplicate all of the functionality found in PAM. If you don't want the faillock behaviour then you should just configure it to not lock any accounts.

you shouldn't get yours to 4k block size, because it's an old hdd so isn't a 4k native drive. the map file is just a small file to keep track of what ddrescue has done so far, which you can use to resume if anything happens, like it's taking too long and you want to stop, or the drive falls off the bus (physically or logically), your system crashes or freezes, whatever. saves you needing to start over for any reason. you can delete the map file when it's made the image

("-r" is read-only, it's optional)
this will make /dev/nbd0 act like the original drive, so you can mount partitions, etc
also, if you want to do write operations but don't want to affect the original image, you could either make a reflink (btrfs/xfs/zfs[?]), or make a qcow2 file with the image as a backing file
$ qemu-img create -f qcow2 -b /media/backup/sda_backup -F raw /media/backup/sda_backup.qcow2

this will make a small qcow2 file, which can be mounted using qemu-nbd, which functions the same as the original drive, only all changes made are made only to the qcow2 file and not the original image

By "Intel GPUs" do you specifically mean the card ones?
Intel's iGPUs always just worked though, maybe not the Intel GMA series from 2000s though.
>>
>>103194714
if the hdd is in good condition where you don't expect read errors, you can make a qcow2 file directly instead. it's just that qemu-img doesn't have the functionality ddrescue does in terms of pulling data from unreliable drives, and since his drive is probably 20 years old, it should be assumed to be unreliable

>Intel has had an Xe driver forever now. It's probably still not as good as AMD and Nvidia but nobody reasonably expects it to be.
I know they have drivers, but the last time I used them (~1 year ago) they were barely functional. There has been a lot of work on fixing the drivers on Windows, but I don't know if any of that work has been carried over to Lunux.

Yeah Intel writes their own Linux GPU drivers. Anything they ship should be expected to work.

PROTIP:
If you start Brave or other Chromium-based browsers with the flags
--wm-window-animations-disabled --animation-duration-scale=0

It will get rid of many annoying animations and run faster.
So in i3 I've bound Brave to a shortcut like this:
bindsym $mod+i exec brave-browser-stable --animation-duration-scale=0 --wm-window-animations-disabled --password-store=gnome-libsecret --force-device-scale-factor=1.2

Can I "expand" my Linux partitions to completely take over Windows or do I have to reinstall everything? How should I go about that?
I made a dual boot Mint/Win setup a few months ago on an old laptop I never use and figured it could do without Windows. Basically I want to move over from the dual boot setup and just have Mint in the rare cases I might use it again.
>>
>>103195292
it's possible to reorganise your partitions and remove a dual boot without reinstalling, but i don't know of any automated way to do it. you'd have to manually move things around then reinstall your bootloader
it's one of those things that's easy if you know what you're doing, but if you don't then it's very easy to get stuck with a non-booting machine (usually not permanently unless you delete something you shouldn't have)
>>
>>103195292
You can easily resize partitions and filesystems (in that order). Gparted does both for you at the same time, I believe.
But as the other anon said, you might have to reconfigure the nvram boot entries in your bios. However, you only need to do that if you move the beginning of your bootable partition. You can resize the end without issue.

Depends on so many things. Post your current layout.
>>
>>103195371
actually, with uefi there should be no issue with moving the start of any partition, because unlike bios bootloaders, uefi bootloaders don't rely on immutable files
however this only applies to moving a partition rather than copying everything into a new partition, if you do that instead then UUIDs will change which will require fstab and bootloader configuration (kernel options) changes, or you could change the uuid of the new partition to that of the old one, but you have to be careful not to have two partitions with the same uuid at the same time

Why are wine prefixes copied outright, instead of symlinked, or their contents referenced in a config file and called as appropriate? Do I really need this many non-unique copies of bulky dlls?

I think I'm at 80GB of duplicate files in prefixes. It's admittedly still a saving compared to having many different Windows versions installed.
>Why so many? Have you tested compatibility?
Yes, they're all necessary for the program(s) they run. I don't believe I'm at fault here. Surely, there should only be modified files, installed files, and user data in the prefixes?

should i abandon Arch? i feel like in the past it made sense to use "bleeding edge" distros as otherwise you didn't get some of the latest goodies, but nowadays it doesn't make as much sense, as long as you have latest browser, for programming languages and shit like that you can install anything in Docker, or use something to run different versions in the same system like pyvenv (python) or stack (haskell)

i just want some minimal default system to install my WM, and a package system that will have most niche stuff. i tried Void which was cool, but also seemed to be bleeding edge and miss some niche packages

i guess Arch may still be the best option as it comes without a lot of crap (just systemd), and has most niche stuff in AUR, i could try Fedora but afraid it may install a lot of Gnome or KDE crap

Because wine is not an emulator and programs are free to overwrite the stock DLLs with their own just like real Windows. Newer versions support reflink if your filesystem has that. Which, there's no intelligent reason for it not to. You could also do like Steam and run wine in a container overlayed on a reference prefix.

dumb question but I'm lazy, is it fair to say that lighter OSes run faster? Or am I going to have to actually see how the system idles to see how fast it runs?
>>
>>103196464
It depends on your system characteristics. If you're short on CPU and RAM and disk IOPS then yeah. On a modern system you want GPU accel and aggressive RAM usage since even the heaviest DE won't fill it up.
>>
>>103196464
Generally it's a good rule of thumb. By definition lighter means lower resource use, of course that includes performance or for example the ability to allocate huge chunks of memory without having to wait until the other blood suckers have been swapped out.
But in the end, lighter/faster may be subjective or depend on response times. For example, an OS that only uses a framebuffer will be "lighter" than some fully loaded Wayland turd desktop, but may feel slower because rendering doesn't use the GPU.

hello niggers, i am trying to install red dead redemption pirate with lutris using wine, but the executable shows a problem saying that i need memory, strange thing because i have like 10 gb ram free, so there is some way in lutris or any other app that can install it without this problem?

>>103196464
No, unless you very rigorously define "lighter", Linux with absolutely every package installed isn't going to be slower than a bare-minimum installation, It's all about what's running and how It's compiled.

>>103197173
Try using the heroic launcher. Lutris has been causing me all sorts of issues recently. Heroic didn't.
