Is nvidia on linux a solved problem in Our Year of the Lord, 2025?
Is Sunshine/moonlight good in terms of performance (migrating from Parsec) so that I can keep my pc fully remote? Are there any alternatives to that?

>>106807046
>Is nvidia on linux a solved problem in Our Year of the Lord, 2025?
It's still a problem, but it's clearly tolerable since most non-handheld Linux users on Steam are using nVidia GPUs.
>Is Sunshine/moonlight good in terms of performance (migrating from Parsec)
Yes. It has less latency than Parsec.

Looking at setting up dual boot between w10 and mint on two separate drives. I've seen some mentions that grub can run into issues because Windows is Windows so I wanted to know how can I install mint without grub? I'm fine just using the BIOS menu to select a drive
I've read you do this by disconnecting the Windows drive before installing mint, but in my setup the Windows NVME is buried behind the GPU and CPU fan because they're massive bricks and I'd rather not deal with pulling all that off to get to the drive. Are there any other options?

Yeah, I tried FreeBSD on the desktop recently too and as cool as it is, it's too much of a pain in the ass to justify using.

The main selling point for me was jails, but these can be easily replicated with LXC. I am currently using Void Linux which is easily the best distribution I've used in a long time, as someone who has primarily used arch for the last few years.

I wrote this shell script to create a certain level of network isolation for my containers also

https://pastebin.com/iMCijx58

so assuming I haven't made any mistakes (zozzle) then Docker can go fuck itself. My "ip addr" output on my server is literally 307 lines long because of Docker's retarded networking.

I agree, that's pathetic.

Still, I don't care about the personal shortcomings of maintainers as long as the faggotry doesn't leak into the documentation, like...

Take a look at this I found while reading the Ansible docs a couple days ago:

https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/red_hat_ansible_automation_platform/2.2/html/red_hat_ansible_automation_platform_upgrade_and_migration_guide/making-open-source-more-inclusive

>>106807227
The main issue is that OS installers generally prefer storing their boot entries in an existing ESP rather than creating a new one, even if it is on a completely separate disk. This creates a dependency, whereby if you remove or overwrite the Windows disk (or Windows decides to fuck with it), you won't be able to boot from the Linux disk, because that's where the shared ESP was. By removing the original drive before installing a second OS, you're forcing the installer to create a new ESP, so each boot disk will have its own, avoiding the dependency.

It's not really anything to do with GRUB or not installing GRUB, it's an EFI problem and you'll have it no matter what bootloader you use. If you don't want to remove the NVMe drive, you might be able to disable it in the BIOS. Or, you can just keep the information above in mind and just yolo it - you might have to keep a live Linux USB around (which is good practice anyway) to manually fix the ESP, if/when it breaks.

If you want a more advanced configuration, you can try installing the OS without a bootloader (The RHEL/Fedora installer has it as option, not sure about Mint) and then install a bootloader manually. That way you can put it wherever you want, even a USB key. For example, I use portable ZFSBootMenu + EFIstub as my bootloader. No need to create EFI boot entries or worry about them disappearing - just a plain old BOOTX64.EFI file. USB boot is set to priority in BIOS, so whether I boot into Linux or Windows is determined by whether or not the ZBM USB is plugged in. Not to mention it gives me whole-disk ZFS snapshots/backups/RAID/encryption... but i digress.

Just spent the past hour banging my head against a brick wall trying to get Gentoo's s6-overlay to work only to discover it's outdated and doesn't work anymore. I extracted the official tarballs in its place and low and behold it fucking works.

Thanks, guys. Why do you even have this package?

If a Gentoo developer lurks 4chan and sees this, please get rid of it. Mask that shit and nuke it from orbit. It's actively harmful when it doesn't even work (s6 doesn't even have an s6-test binary anymore so if it worked at some point it sure as shit doesn't anymore)

Short answer: Yes, it's a meme.

Long answer:
It targets developers who are opinionated ultra-autistic minimalists, but those developers don't actually want bloat and have their own opinions. Devs who use vim and tiling wms are generally against having a ton of pre-installed bloatware. Omarchy is targeting a very, very tiny niche which mainly consists of people larping as developers.
A real/average dev will just take Ubuntu or Fedora with the preferred DE. And a very opinionated dev using vim and tiling wms will just take plain Arch or Debian, or take the Fedora net install and install everything manually. Bluefin is actually much better configured for your average developer and even it is something that most devs just won't use.

If I wanted a laptop with an entry-level Linux distribution is there a good place to buy that straight up or is it a better idea to buy a windows laptop and then install it from there?

>>106813509
Depends a lot on where you live, but likely no.
You're better off buying one without an OS (generally cheaper) and installing linux yourself.

>>106813509
Every major OEM has a product they ship with Linux, or at least RH / Canonical / SUSE certified hardware. These work with basically any distro. If you expect working power management on a new laptop, it's a good idea to buy one. If you just want a cheap PC to fuck around on, buy a used <$200 business class laptop off Amazon and it'll probably have reasonable hardware support by now.

follow the official guide for updating if there is one. if you did any weird customization outside dpkg then expect problems. in any case, I would always reinstall rather than upgrade for a major release. reinstalling shouldn't be that difficult, though you probably made some changes that you will later realize you didn't migrate and forgot how.

It was during KDE 4.x and very early KDE 5.x, so years ago. And it was usually only an issue on stable/lts distros (Debian, Ubuntu) since they didn't backport bug fixes.
If you still have doubts, consider that KDE is being used on Steam Decks in the desktop mode and the target audience are people who want their gaming device to be easy to use and just work.

Can i get a QRD on configuring networking stuff?
i have an interview coming up, i'm decently confident in basic usage for most OS stuff, but i never had to touch network stuff beyond the host file

>>106815279
Theres multiple ways you can configure networking on linux and some of it depends on your distro.
Debian and alpine use /etc/network/interfaces by default to configure networking.
Any distro with systemd can use systemd-networkd to configure networking
Dhcpcd is a just werks solution for automatically setting up dhcp but can also do static configuration as well.
There's also networkmanager which most desktops use but it can also be used for servers though i have no experience with configuring it other than having it just werk for dhcp
Ubuntu has something called netplan which is just a yaml wrapper for systemd-networkd and networkmanager
And as for wifi, wpa_supplicant is the most easiest to use but theres a few others you can use like networkmanager

How old? Cause I'm using hypr on a x230.

I have a Fairlight installer, in Wine, failing to do anything and giving a complete message instead of an error because the scene is full of deliberately obnoxious faggots. The only hint I've found is a comment suggesting they've done some obtuse bullshit so that it expects to be run from a disc drive and can't be run as a bare exe. I've mapped the directory to a disk drive in winecfg and it still doesn't work. Now what?

I'm on an old laptop with a hard drive. The performance is okay but booting is pretty slow, probably because it's a hard drive instead of an SSD

If I throw in a SATA SSD, how much better do you think the performance would be?

When I did this on Debian everything just worked, but to be fair I was using Debian 12 when it was already pretty mature. I haven't tried Debian 13 yet, which is quite new, so maybe that's why some software is breaking on it.

You could use Debian 12 which apparently still gets security updates until June 2026. Or you could use Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.

>>106815627
Which software?

fwiw i use podman on debian without any real issues.

what pieces of hardware generally stick out the most when it comes to issues running a distro? finally planning on switch from windows but unsure of the best path to take in doing so.

here's my current setup:

>trusting maintainers
This is like saying you should trust Microsoft to provide you with all 3rd party Windows binaries ever made. Maintainers are just a 3rd party between me and the software I use. They should be removed from the equation as much as possible.

>>106816819
>UPS

>>106816819
nVidia GPUs often have weird issues and incompatibilities with certain software. For example, some Universal Blue distros claim nVidia is partially unsupported simply because some of these distros ship with Waydroid for Android emulation. Waydroid didn't work on nVidia until recently and even still apparently it doesn't have hardware acceleration.
Considering your hardware is somewhat recent, you're better off sticking with distros that are either Fedora-based or Arch-based to get more mature drivers. So all of these >>106811857 besides Mint and Ubuntu.

>>106816819
Nvidia GPUs and Gigabyte motherboards (poor sensors support)

>>106816828
It's like saying you should trust brew or chocolatey to provide your 3rd party software, which a lot of people do. Sometimes devs throw their toys out of the pram when they feel like they're not getting enough attention, or just don't provide a reasonable update mechanism.

Nvidia GPUs, and I dunno how well Intelaviv and their mobos support IOMMU/SR-IOV if you're gonna into that
with your giganigga GPU, you'd probably like to into GPU passthrough for gaymen, but you then need to buy and fit another budget dGPU

>>106816828
Well I'm not trusting Microsoft. I'm only trusting Debian. And they have everything I need in their repos. The few software they don't, I get from flatpaks, which I use very cautiously and sparingly. Flatpaks are inherently insecure, that's why they need containers around them.

>>106815422
The issue is the GPU. I tried that before. It makes no difference. I have no idea why the retards decided to drop H264 acceleration. Supposedly there is HEVC acceleration (of course they're pushing that proprietary crap just as H264 patents expire) though.

I know it's the GPU because it will play fine in a window but the moment you full screen it you get a Vulkan error. Maybe I'll report it to Mesa but first I should probably try the DRM backend without Plasma Wayland running. Something seems genuinely busted somewhere.

>>106817315
Also this happens on both Mesa git and Flatpak MPV + Freedesktop runtime Mesa so it's not just a Gentoo thing.

I have a Linux VPS that I use to host my website and a few other things. Lets say I'd like to give somebody some space to host their own website, how could I limit them to a specific directory and disk space? Somebody mentioned setting up individual docker containers for each website I'd like hosted but that sounds like a lot. Couldn't you just set a user account up with a disk quota?

does the distro have a big impact on performance?
running picrel right now, using it to watch movies and streams randomly streams will be stuttering like crazy

>>106817505
Unlikely, but it's worth pointing out that Fedora doesn't exactly have optimised binaries available even for an old Skylake machine.

>>106817383
You can give them SSH access and use the Chroot feature of SSH to contain them and yes, quotas like BTRFS, ZFS, or LVM has would be the way to enforce that they can't run out of disk space.

>>106817383
It depends on how much you trust their judgment not to be a complete retard. Given most people can't make a web site these days without CRM, that would be a lot of trust letting them run it in the same namespace as your stuff. If you're just letting someone host a static site you can set them up with sftp or DAV + filesystem disk quotas and be done.

>>106817564
>use the Chroot feature of SSH to contain them
This is considerably more work than docker.
>quotas like BTRFS
Don't use btrfs quotas retard. Most VPS use ext4 or xfs by default, which both have working quota support. No reason to go higher or lower here.

>>106817714
>This is considerably more work than docker.
This is a single-line change in sshd_config and is how most online hosters handle giving shared access to their box. Lmao that you think Docker is easier, nobody is doing shared hosting with Docker.

Go and look up the Wikipedia article for "shell accounts". People have been doing this since the 80s before Docker even existed:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_account

>>106817505
Kek, bazziteschizo is not going to like this

>>106817771
Also if you do want something a bit more secure than a Chroot, still Docker is not used but you see a lot of things like OpenVZ.

Actual VPS servers will run virtualised on KVM but OpenVZ is a poor man's KVM.

>>106817383
You could pre-allocate an .img file and mount it on boot as the users home directory. And you can have your webserver point to a specific folder in there to be used as a webroot subfolder so that they can put all their stuff on there to host.

>>106817771
A shell account that limited doesn't get you anything in terms of hosting a functional web site.
>People have been doing this since the 80s
chroot(2) shells are also trivially easy to escape. Modern pivot_root is already starting off in a different filesystem namespace but without any of the service management that everyone uses docker for.

>>106817898
You could even use Systemd Home to do that (this is literally how it works).

Maintainers do a terrible job with anything that's not related to sysadmin tools. I'd rather source my apps directly from developers or at least flathub.

>>106817505
Not really. But if you're using web browsers some of them don't have hardware acceleration enabled by default. I think Firefox not only has it disabled by default but its media playback is just overall shit compared to Chromium browsers. Distros should just stop defaulting to Firefox.

That's why real VPS providers run on KVM but that doesn't actually remove the problem it just punts it down the line to the kernel, now you're only one Hypervisor exploit away from an exploit (but this is much harder to pull off compared to Docker or a Chroot).

>>106818978
You'll be fine. But since you're on Fedora rather than one of its forks which handle a few things for you, be sure to enable RPM Fusion to get access to proprietary software, drivers and codecs.

>>106818844
Yeah there's a risk / resource / time investment hierarchy to be sure. I just say 'docker' to go with OP, but you could use systemd nizzardy with podman or a minimalist full container system and have a security advantage over actual docker.

>>106818978
>I'd prefer something with longer support than 13 months

Not sure if Cinnamon supports this, but on KDE you can individually configure and remove titlebars for each specific application.

What are my options?
I have one primary partition what is 800 GB and it's NTFS. My /home is 75 GB or so (ext4).
I can't wipe that NTFS partition because it has all my files and setups.
I was thinking about slowly resizing the partitions (and moving files from ntfs to ext4) but not sure how doable this is.
My backup disks are already full.

>>106819688
rent some cloud storage and move things there, then wipe the disk clean. Or buy a new disk

acquire more storage. 4tb 2.5" hdd are dirt cheap unless you're from rwanda or something
alternatively just use the ntfs as storage? linux works with ntfs just fine

>>106819958
An iso is just a zip/rar archive of a disk image. So no. It's the same reason why you can't just double click a .rar file to run it as a program - it's just an archive.
The .iso file needs to be extracted to a drive or partition and it also needs to be formatted in a way for your motherboard to recognize it as a bootable operating system. This is all handled by Etcher, Rufus, UNetBootin, Fedora Media Writer, etc.

>>106820049

Someone asking "why can't a computer just find an iso file on my usb and boot it" shouldn't be trusted with a tool which is jokingly called "disk destroyer". Also he's on Windows 10, I don't know if powershell has dd.

Where can I find how Fedora sets up their Sway flavor? I've checked https://gitlab.com/fedora/sigs/sway/sway-config-fedora and https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-sericea/configuration-guide/ but I can't figure out where they declare stuff like executing blueman-applet.
I'm asking because I've installed Hyprland alongside Sway, but when I use it I can't control my volume, pavucontrol stays stuck in "Establishing a connection to pulseaudio, please wait." forever, which does not happen on Sway in the same machine. I'm assuming that in the Sway instance something gets initiated alongside the WM and I'd like to check it out and see whether initiating the same stuff on hyprland fixes my problem.

I didn't even consider that. That sounds like a good idea. Do people usually do that? When I first installed Linux a few months ago I made a separate partition for my home directory but I don't know how many paths would break after reinstallation.

I've been using windows for 20 years and I want to try out GNU and Linux. I want it to be simple to set up and am considering Bazzite as its gaming focused so it will clearly go faster for the 5 games a year I play, I will be going balls deep into it and hopefully won't format one of my HDDs again like I have the last two times I reinstalled windows (I just don't give a fuck if I do it again).
Is there a better OS and how long will I last.

I want to try a tiling window manager but I still don't understand them. Is there such a thing as a "minimized" window in these setups? I typically work with 3 to 4 main windows and I do tile a lot already, but realistically speaking, will I have to "abuse" workspaces and put my whole browser in one, and my whole editor in another to get a nice workable space?

Also how do you guys switch between these apps? What if they are on different workspaces? I want a single key combo to take me to my app, regardless of workspace for example. I achieve something similar on Cinnamon and Windows already.

>>106821237
>am considering Bazzite
>hopefully won't format one of my HDDs again
Bazzite is fine for both gaming and general use. But the Fedora installer is confusing when it comes to formatting drives and selecting the install location. Triple check that you're wiping the correct drive when installing. It's the one with a black checkmark on the bottom right next to it. Or better yet, unplug your HDD before installing just to make sure you don't accidentally wipe it.

I can't play Genshin on linux

>>106822389
no but you can play wuthering waves which is objectively a better game

wrong

So if i dual boot into Linux, can I seamlessly access files on a separate NTFS drive?

>>106822934
from my experience you can access NTFS from Ext4 but not the other way around

Kinda just an off shoot question because I forgot about this -- but does proton still throw a shit fit if you're running and installing games on NTFS? I added a second nvme into my setup and formatted the entire thing as NTFS for compatibility reasons (I only have 500gib dedicated for my dual boot setup and i doubt I'll need much more), but now I'm thinking I should probably split it up to EXT4 and NVME. not a huge deal or anything just annoys me

Yes -- order of install operation is
1) install windows
2) install linux
wa-la. Don't install it the other direction unless you just want to deal with a pain in the ass of regenerating grub. It's not a huge deal or anything, just makes your life harder if you're a noob

You will have full read and write access -- but make sure you disable fast startup, windows will hold the NTFS drive hostage. and I've had multiple instances where it turns itself back on. I fucking hate microsoft.

Gaming is mostly fine, but performance on an NTFS drive can be worse to downright impossible with proton, so keep that in mind. It's a bit overblown in my limited experience doing it (I just made >>106823456 post about it). I wouldn't worry much about it if you have no interest in sharing a games folder, though. I think NTFS is pretty much more than fine to format any drive you wanna share systems with.

All linux systems come equipped with NTFS-3G which is just the bog standard way to access these drives and will do everything fine. There's another more experimental "open source" one called NTFS3 that supposedly works better, but it seems to be built on black magic and I'm not really willing to risk a drive problem for something I don't need. Just boot into windows or move your games to an EXT4 partition if you wanna game if you have an issue.

I am a full time linux user but I've dual booted for the last ~15 years on every laptop I've ever owned and I've never felt like I really regret it. I also keep a pendrive with a few recovery options in my drawer somewhere...but I probably lost it so I'll have to buy yet another one if I ever have a problem, kek.

Oh also -- so reading AND writing to NTFS with Linux is just fine. Never had an issue with it beyond Microsoft just being a dick. But you'll only have read only access to EXT4 from Windows with the methods out there. It's not that there aren't solutions to write to EXT4 from Windows, but I honestly do not and never have trusted them.

>freetube has been broken in almost 3 weeks
I cant take this anymore

>>106823713
Freetube would be broken because the Invidious instances you're using are fucked. Youtube probably changed something in the backend again and broke something.

Newfag here. I use currently Gnome and I'm interested in trying out some other DEs/WMs/whatever but I rely really heavily on Gnome's RDP server to connect to my desktop when I'm out and about.
It's critical that whatever remote access method I go with adapts to my client device's resolution since my full desktop is 8720x2560. Gnome's headless RDP does this, I believe KDE doesn't?
What are my options here? I'm happy with Gnome if Gnome is the only way to do this.

I have been on Mint for about 3 years now and have gotten mostly comfortable with it except for updating nvidia drivers. I now am considering switching to a more complicated distro. I need something with good nvidia support and preferably KDE plasma out of the box, as well as no systemd. Gentoo seems to fit those requirements, but I have heard that that distro is a bit difficult to get used to. Any recommendations?

>>106823826
cachyos ticks all of those boxes

>>106823898
Thanks. Will take that into consideration. I had also heard of that but didn't bother researching it.

>>106823721
No, It's freetube. Invidious you can opt-in instances but I don't use them. Abandoned invidious years ago because it was always a buggy mess. Freetube has gotten worse now but at least it is somewhat consistent when it works

after some time tinkering with TLP and reading the arch wiki on the cpu frequency scaling my guess to have the maximum performance on a intel tiger lake notebook u need to use:
sudo x86_energy_perf_policy --all performance
sudo intel_gpu_frequency --max
install throttled

Any other tips?

>>106823809
If you wanna use another DE that'll mostly likely still be X11-based outside of GNOME and KDE you could use something like xrdp.

>>106823456
eh doesn't matter anymore. I just decided to commit a sin that isn't recommended and resized and moved partitions. Not a big deal when you don't care about the data on that drive

>>106815464
if you can't figure out why then it's not for you

>>106823826
It's not complicated but I've always used Manjaro but it does have systemD

I'm gonna get shit for this opinion i'm gonna give you, but if you go don't want systemD, you are inevitably going to be stuck with something that is harder to get used to and harder to deal with. Especially if you're fucking with nvidia. I'm not saying systemD is wonderful and everyone should use it, but you're gonna struggle slightly harder without it. And the things you're talking about here kind of conflict with that mindset. It's okay -- but someone who doesn't wanna use systemD isn't really getting particularly concerned with nvidia support and KDE plasma as a requirement. So ask yourself what you're doing, I guess.

For what it's worth -- I've used manjaro openRC in the past and I think openRC is really kickass and not complicated, but you will probably struggle a bit either way and the usual bastion of noob help, arch wiki, will be slightly less helpful if you don't know how to translate (which for service start stop etc isn't really a big deal)

Artix Linux is the only one I've used, and I thought it was fine, and I'm a big fan of rolling releases and I like everything Arch offers me, so that's a good one.

>>106823809
you're stuck with xorg i think unless you're a huge nerd and know what you're doing. Supposedly there's some ways, but it all seems really janky and involves spoofing a record function or something and isn't really accessible, so I think that disqualifies KDE entirely (unless KDE still has an X11 maintainer or something). i wouldn't worry about it.


Hyprland apparently does shit like this if you're really interested in being a pervert and want something else. Otherwise you're basically looking at any of the usual GTK desktop environments and I don't think they're really worth "exploring" if you don't need to. i3 maybe or some other WM

>>106821710
that was my first experience with linux

>>106824259
>>106824397
thanks guys, I'm using gayland so I don't thing xorg/xrdp is an option. I might just stick with what I've got since it at least works.

>>106824436
In your situation I say yeah just stick with GNOME and its RDP.

If i install apt on Arch(it's in the extra official repo), how building process will look like?
I need some dependencies that are pain in ass to build, but are hosted on debian apt. AUR is outdated, so not an option.
I promise i won't use that beyond that weird deps

>>106824448
Thanks anon. Is there a way to run a different UI locally but still connect into Gnome remotely? I don't know if it'd be worth it though

>>106806948
I wish I was deep throating pdiddy's cock right now. I love big black chocolate nigger Mandingo cocks.

>>106824746
the point of other package managers being in the repos is so you can create containers using those package managers.

Anyone try Winboat? Thoughts? Have you tried playing games through it, what's it like?

>>106824746
>AUR is outdated, so not an option.
so fix aur. If it's buiilt for debian you can simply extract the deb in your own PKGBUILD if needed.

Firefox-based browsers just completely broke playing of videos on anime websites with a recent Arch update. Great. Had to install Brave just to get around it. I'm not debugging this garbage.

Bazzite or CachyOS?

>>106825197
When the alternative is setting up a Docker container with VPN routing, yeah, I'd rather stream. I've been looking into Usenet or Debrid, but I don't know how the experience compares. I used to have 800 GB of anime downloaded, but nuked everything.

All the cool distros will do it sooner or later

Does most of the RUST hate come from it trying to be forced everywhere? If everyone wasn't getting pressured to rewrite all their code in RUST, would it be accepted like all the other languages, or does RUST itself have issues? Is the RUST popularity natural or is it propaganda being pushed by Microsoft or some other company that stands to benefit from RUST being standardized everywhere?

For something being so popular, a lot of people hate it. C++ and Python are also popular and critcized but no one genuinely hates them. Meanwhile RUST is hated with a passion. It seems more political than Python or C++ which seem like tools. RUST seems more like a political force than a tool.

>>106825379
Last I remember certain anons don't like Rust because it's used by trannies or something. Every Rust-based program I've used has felt great honestly.

>>106825379

Look up glowie involvement in rust projects

>>106824249
You should take a look at disabling mitigations, eg. spectre/meltdown and core isolation. These can make a big difference and especially on lunatix you don't really need them unless you're running a business or something.
Ask chatgpt if you want to quickly examine what you can do.

You can install it in Bottles and play it. It works fine on my end even on the Steam Deck.

Usually gets updates a few months sooner. It expects you to tinker with it out of the box, so it's more geared towards power users.
