Its time to compile the kernel. Yours seems a little dated.

Longshot but is there any fullproof way of forcing a game to accept controller inputs even when unfocused (mouse is clicking on other things on another monitor) etc on linux when the game seems to demand it be focused? Specifically right now the game is skyrim.

Run nouveau and nvidia-proprietary drivers simultaneously?

Progress so far:
Tried binding vfio-pci driver to nvidia card, nouevau still loaded.
I have another approach.
Boot with nouveau. Drop to tty. Run script that unloads nouveau (sudo modprobe -r nouveau)
loads nvidia
loads nouveau to get display output back on the integrated graphics
starts lightdm

>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.

I'm on KDE (EndeavourOS).
I've got this program I want to launch using separate profiles each with its own icon. I already made the two .desktop files and they work.
The issue is, on the panel the program always shows up with the default icon so I can't tell which window belongs to which profile. I figured out how to change it to a custom icon, but it only works for all instances of the program, so the issue remains.
I need some property to distinguish between the two .desktop files that the "window rules" can use to customize the settings. I thought StartupWMClass would work, but either I can't figure out how to use it or it's not what I'm looking for.
Ideally I would like to do this without for example downloading a separate copy of the program.

Please refrain from going full Stack Overflow (why would you want to do this, >using the panel at all, switch to [other DE] etc.) thank you.

This is exactly why you will never get popularity with linux and people will still use windows; instead of admitting Linux has some flaws and trying to fix them, instead of listening to feedback you cry like autits and double down on defending useless crap that shouldn't be there in the first place.

You have people telling you that Linux has a lot of compatibility problems and instead of trying to make it compatible with more programs, you start masturbating.

Heck, valve had to do it themselves with steamOS because you are so fucking useless.

What the fuck do you even do with a Linux system, starte at the console window all day doing nothing?

i have used mint in the past and liked it, but want to try KDE. I read that I should find a distro built around KDE rather than try to make it work with mint. Is kubuntu a decent choice? I was going to try openSUSE but I read it may be difficult to get some games working on there

Thanks for the advice, I'll save your reply and thoroughly check everything you mentioned. The thing that I did not understand and wanted to get from my first post is (I apologize if it's obvious and I'm just that much of a noob) do you download the same torrents for games, as you would on Windows, and then run the game in some kind of emulator, or there has te be a specific Linux version that can be played natively? If it's the latter, how is availability for the games, is there enough people out there creating ane sharing the Linux versions?

>>106960055
the current thing to do is get the windows version, import into steam and run it through proton.
you can use things like lutris or bottle instead, if you prefer.
i haven't had much luck with native torrents, personally.

>>106960055
>torrents
i haven't tried pirating yet (honestly i'm kinda trying to put that off for as long as i can) but yeah, you download the windows game and run it through a compatibility layer (steam does this by default with proton, i believe Lutris does it some way or another)
as far as i can gather there's no real need for linux-specific versions of games anymore

Compatibility problems are ideologically mandated. It's adherence the same ideology that has normalfags fleeing here for sanctuary.

It doesn't. 3rd party software has incompatibility problems with other operating systems. You're relying on software that's Windows exclusive and has years if not decades of technical debt which prevent it from being ported to anything else.

Both of you are being autistic for no reason.
1. Having leftover wallpapers is not a big deal. You're losing a few MB of storage once a year.
2. It is a fact that OS-provided wallpapers have no reason to be preserved unless one is in active use.

Deleting obsolete wallpapers would be completely fine. If a person really wants to get an older wallpaper, they can just download it like people have been doing with the Windows XP "Bliss" wallpaper. Pretty much every single wallpaper that is provided on any Linux distribution is public domain or has a permissive license, so it's a non-issue.

As for the original question the anon posed (what are all other leftover files after a system upgrade) the only way to know for sure is to install Fedora 41 in a VM, then upgrade it to 42 and apply all the latest updates. Then install Fedora 42 in a separate VM and apply all the latest updates. Then do a full disk comparison between the two systems (upgraded install vs clean install).
I'm 99.9% sure there isn't any documentation on which system files are unnecessarily preserved since I've never seen anyone talk about this issue before.

>>106961011
You just need cuda 13.x toolkit and proprietary drivers.

Mint Xfce has a better default theme and layout. It's fine if you like Xfce, but I personally stick to KDE and GNOME. They're not really that much heavier than Xfce. If you're just looking for a lightweight desktop, then there's better options like Openbox, IceWM, Trinity, etc.

Could someone please explain to me why Krita's filepicker does not have image previews as the file icons? I'm using KDE, Dolphin has it, I've set Firefox to use the native KDE filepicker, which has it, and yet Krita, a KDE application, does not?? Wtf??

>>106962067
It does have the preview pane but I want icon previews the way everything else does it. Also because I have KDE set to single click to select, so then I have to click and drag to select an item for the preview pane which is annoying.
I've tried checking and unchecking the "use native file dialog" option in the settings and it makes no difference. Krita is installed through pacman not an appimage or anything.

I understand the reasoning behind some of them, but that doesn't make them any less retarded, specially when some of those keys are far apart, I don't want to do acrobatics with my hands just to move my cursor. I know it's way too late to change them, I just think using simpler keybinds or even mnemonics would make more sense. I think the Micro editor does a good job at this
>alt+left/right to move to start or end of a line
>ctrl+up/down for the beggining or end of a file
>ctrl+o to open a file
>ctrl+f to search for a string
>ctrl+s to save, with the option to map alt+s to save and quit
It's not perfect, and Micro itself isn't as "powerful" as Vim, but it does feel better to use. I'm surprised Vim keybinds are even popular to begin with, seems like every CLI program has them baked in.

You're out of luck anon. Looks like it ignores your system and uses it's own customized dialog which doesn't have the same preview features as other KDE software. Normally the first icon here would display a grid view and you'd have an extra icon to the right which toggles thumbnails. For whatever reason Krita doesn't have this.
I guess the workaround is just using your file manager and doing the good old "open in Krita".

I keep reading that undervolting the 5700xt is the answer but I am wary of damaging the card that way.

Undervolting does not damage the card in any way, if anything it makes it last longer

Use something like LACT to set the power profile to maximum and see if it still crashes. Power management on AMD is notoriously bad.

Are you playing in windowed or dedicated fullscreen? What's stopping you from alt tabbing to change focus? You might try a VM for the other monitor and mouse. There is a way to lock inputs to an application without focus changing, can't tell you what, it was long ago. X11 and Gayland will handle it differently. You'll have less headache using a secondary machine entirely for the other monitor.

>>106958979

Just because I forget how to spell and the meaning behind words sometimes doesn't mean I'm a zoomerkin. It means I'm getting older and my brain is starting to melt and regress.
>Are you playing in windowed or dedicated fullscreen?
I've tried both but they both demand mouse focus for controller input.
>What's stopping you from alt tabbing to change focus?
Very weird use case where I want to play the skyrim together mod with a friend but his laptop is awful and crashes everything and runs poorly anyway so I just stream games for him to play on my machine through moonlight and sunshine. I can isolate what I'm doing and seemingly even a separate instance of the game for this purpose with dual monitors, but if only one instance of the game is allowed input we can't both play it.
>You might try a VM for the other monitor and mouse.
I might be able to do this, the reason I prefer not to is because the backup gpu I could passthrough is very outdated and at best will just barely run the vanilla game good enough. It's also just easier at this point with my kde window rules and qjackctl audio isolation and such setup to do everything on my base system aside from things like that.
>There is a way to lock inputs to an application without focus changing, can't tell you what, it was long ago. X11 and Gayland will handle it differently. You'll have less headache using a secondary machine entirely for the other monitor.
That might help if I can assign a specific controller to be locked to the application and force it to always accept it's inputs, no idea what those are that actually work though. I've tried numerous things I already forgot because they were useless including the most recent making 2 isolated cursors but that also didn't work even if one cursor wasn't locked into the game.

I found something online and did this:

>source app-build/bin/activate
there were no dependencies as far as I understand any of it

Then I get: make: *** No rule to make target 'install_local'. Stop.

If I understood correctly this is the last step for having it installed. Please help.

Do I need to change directory now? Make doesn't do anything. I really don't understand any of this btw.

>>106959659
Mint is a desktop environment built for Ubuntu. Ubuntu is the OS, and Ubuntu itself is built on Debian. If I understand correctly, openSUSE is Debian based.

Kubuntu, as mentioned is Ubuntu packaged with the K Desktop Environment or KDE. A kubuntu spin for 24.04, the latest LTS Ubuntu release willbe more "up to date" than Mint, but there's nothing stopping you from adding more up to date repositories to your existing. You can get a Debian distro to play games just as well as an Ubuntu base, but it's less plug and play. Steam OS is almost a reskin of kubuntu, and that'll be you're easiest plug and play to get into.

>>106964670
The build.sh will build it, you should see the icconconfig executable in the directory and can probably run it like ./cconconfig

I don't know how you're supposed to install it though.

make install

didn't do anything.

>>106964670
did you already run the commands? the binary could be in that folder, no? check the contents

>>106964729
>>106964730
Ok, I understand a bit more. I'm able to start iconnconfig and the gui opens and it works. Thank you for the help so far. But the program is only temporary right? This is what I get with the make command:
>/tmp/build/IConnConfig$ make
>make: Nothing to be done for 'first'.

>>106964802
I think you can just copy the executable anywhere, I'm not sure. It doesn't look like they defined an install target in the .pro file so make has no idea what to do.

>>106964718
OpenSUSE is sourced from SLE you yahoo. Has absolutely nothing to do with Debian.

>>106964840
Well, it works and I can save changes to the device. Thanks for the help!

>>106963583
Thank you, anon. That was the trick

>>106964188
not an nvidia issue this time.
the issue could be recreated with an amd card in the same configuration, display connected to the motherboard not the card
card is chilling at 60-70%, suddenly it goes to 99-100% and fans ramp up
alt tab out and back in, issue is resolved
it's something to do with prime render offload or intel driver

>>106965031
You can also configure gamemode to set the card to full power while gaming to work around this.

>>106965071
So most likely its your DE causing the issue.

I want to try linux on my laptop because it has had performance issues ever since I upgraded to windows 11 a few years back. I've been experimenting with a few in virtual machines and I'm struggling to decide between down to the following three:

>Mint (Cinnamon)
Recommended for beginners, looks good at first glance, but I remember experimenting with it in the past and disliking it after a few weeks.

>Kubuntu
I hated default ubuntu when I used it in university because of gnome, but I keep reading that Kubuntu is a bit janky. I do like the look and feel of it though.

>Debian (XFCE or KDE)
The installer didn't let me select anything in virtualbox and once it did install apt did not work even after getting the correct permissions. Hopefully just because of virtual machines, outside of that it looks good if a little advanced.

Any anons have suggestions? Whichever I pick I will do the home folder partition thing for easier distro hopping.

>>106965122
I suggest cleaning it and applying fresh thermal paste.

>>106965081
Does it do better than LACT?

>>106965142
Its if you don't want to manually switch it all the time / not always run at full power. If enabled you just set up every game to start with gamemode and the card will go into high power automatically and switch back when done.

>>106965122
Kubuntu is okay, doesn't update as often as other KDE distros and follows Ubuntu release schedules, which line up with GNOME rather than the KDE releases. So it's still stuck on 6.4.5 when 6.5 was just released today.

Mint is a good choice if you like it. I recommend using LMDE. For pure Debian, use the live images. They have calamares and make for an easier install.

There's also https://github.com/r0b0/debian-installer this installer here, which sets it up pretty well, I think. I'm running Debian GNOME myself.

>>106965183
Thx
>For pure Debian, use the live images
Looks like the same install mechanism as linux mint, I will try this in a virtual machine.
>LMDE
I checked that out but I decided for normal mint instead because LMDE seemed less actively developed. And my problems were more look and feel related IIRC

>>106965107
you may be onto something here. ran bare openbox and I can't tell whether it's still happening.
earlier I tried xfce with standard xfwm4, xfce with openbox, xfce with xfwm4 and compositor on.

>>106965122
Don't use mint, Xubuntu is also a flavor of Ubuntu to look into.

I installed linux mint on mine and my mom laptop since they couldn't update to win11 and we only used them for emails and web browsing. I did the guided setup, beside the updates that come from the shield icon on the bottom right, do I need to run the "sudo apt update" every once in a while or is the system going to tell me if there are app that need updates?
Also, I have an old macbook from 2009, is it possible to install mint or a similar (extreme noob friendly) linux distro on it?

>>106965477
The system will show you the shield and green circle icon for when you have pending updates, if you leave it for long enough or an important update is pushed for the kernel or your version, it will open on boot and tell you that you should update.
I think you can set it to auto update or to check and apply updates if there's a time in the day you are away from the computer but its still on, but I don't really recommend worrying about updating constantly because things will break now and then.

>>106965473

leaving systemd shit-flinging aside, would there be any performance gained from a non-systemd setup compared to an identical systemd one, purely by the reduction in underlying processes? like Devuan vs Debian or Artix vs Arch, I can't really get a concrete answer on this aside from ideological discussions.

>>106965564
>I can't really get a concrete answer on this aside from ideological discussions.
Generally in the Linux community, when it comes to things like that there is no end to the arguing. I don't even know what it is, but the difference between me and the linux neckbeards is that I just USE Linux, these people live and breathe it.
I'm listening to a video right now on what systemd is and why people don't like it but, yeah.

>>106965564
SystemD is actually modular and it depends on the Distro which parts are shipped. I can not see there being any performance benefit in something like Arch that ships the bare minimum anyway.

>>106965742
*compared to Arch

I have Fedora 42 with GNOME Wayland with proprietary Nvidia drivers installed on a Samsung data SSD. If I move this drive to a new desktop PC on a totally different hardware (let's say an AMD graphic card) is there anything I should be aware of or can I expect the system to boot up and work just fine (at least until I install the drivers for the new system components)?

>>106965757
Most Linux/Unix OSes actually keep documentation on what hardware their OS has drivers for and a log of any major problems. While this problem has honestly been minimized due to drivers of NVIDA and AMD being opened up to any and all developers to make tweaks; I'd suggest you leaf through the Fedora docs or the forum and just check. Generally, you should be 100% okay, if anything, you should flash the ISO to a flashdrive and boot the demo version for a day and two and see if everything works fine before installing.

>>106965742
yeah that's mostly what I noticed from testing in VMs and whatnot, was just curious of any bare metal experiences. I know I can get shit like Artix down to pretty low resource usage but I couldn't tell you how much that actually translates to better performance overall.

>>106965708
oh yeah I've been here long enough to know the can of worms that that discussion is. was mostly just curious about it honestly. I find DJ Ware's vids on systemd pretty interesting at least.

>>106964862
I don't know how I made that connection. I've been digging deep in debian and it's offshoots a lot lately.

I've tried also running this thing (https://github.com/BinSquare/battery_swap_fix_t480#) to try and fix linux draining the main internal battery instead of the external one but when I try to run the .sh file the terminal doesn't open.

>>106965477
Should be fine since it's intel based, to install whatever. The newer macbooks to my knowledge, with the m-chips?, are the one's that require a certain distro to run.

How much importance do you place on distro/package maintainers when deciding what to use?

I like basically every design decision behind Chimera Linux but the author and primary maintainer has a lot of mental health red flags.

I've reached the point in my Linux journey where I've stopped trying to convince anyone to use Linux. The vast majority of Windows users massively overestimate their computer literacy. Telling someone who, mind you, built their own PC to use Rufus to make a bootable USB just gets you the fluoride stare. In fact, I tell people to not use Linux since 99% of them will ignore the many disclaimers about arch not being a beginner distro, break their Arch install, go online, and say it's the fault of Linux (despite using the DIY distro) It's like going to Subway and complaining the sandwich you made was shit. Arch Linux was my first distro and I haven't had any issues with it because I read the wiki, and don't have like 2000 AUR packages on my system despite mouth breathers claiming that Arch will just break itself. I guess I'm realizing that the general populace is dumber than I initially thought

thanks for reading my blog

>>106966268

if you like musl for whatever reason (i dont know why you do tho, it caused me a lot of pain personally) id recommend alpine
its like arch linux but with musl and openrc
people like basing their containers on it(they need to be tortured for that), there are some distributions that i actually do like that are based on it, overall its small and neat
the only downside (upside for me actually) is its pretty DIY same as arch, you need to set everything up yourself

How do you install Arch on VM because i'm testing out builds to see what one i like

whih VM? virtualbox?

>>106966512
You do the same thing you'd do to install anything on a virtual machine, except with Arch.

>>106966891
>>106966924
ive checked it and HDR got added to gayland in 2020 it seems so you will have it regardless
tho i still dont know what it is or why you gaymers want it

>>106966943
is HDR really hard to understand?

>>106966970
never bothered to look it up cause i dont give a shit

>>106966970
more contrasterer color, right? contrasting all over your screen?

>>106967035
uh its about having highlights work, so bright stuff is bright.

I did some searching and the algorithms are recommending me:
elementary OS
Fedora
debian

I have a handful of folders on my GNU plus Linux desktop that I'd like to be able to access from my Macbook. I'm looking for native or close-to-native integration i.e. mounting the remote directories in Finder. I've been using an FTP client but doing it this way sucks. Asked an AI chatbot before bothering you guys and it's telling me to use SMB but i don't really trust chatbots anyway. What's the recommended tool for this job?

>>106967075
i dont think its useful for my 8 bit ass 1980s style terminal workflow
but its kewl i guess
>elementary OS
another flavor of bubuntu hm
here check this shit
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1b/Linux_Distribution_Timeline.svg
most of the "distributions" is just someone's rice
only sometimes there is a meaningful distinction (for eample devuan is debian without s o y stemd, same with arch and artix)
>>106967102
samba is a choice you can make

there is also NFS
used it at work, kinda like it its decent as long as you set it up properly
would personally use it over samba

there is also sftp
which sounds like ftp but its actually based on ssh
which makes it actually functional and not utter shit like FTP

there is also open source cloud solutions that you can fire up in docker
a bit heavy but it is an option

>>106967173
>i dont think its useful for my 8 bit ass 1980s style terminal workflow
sounds right

Oh I should mention, I have amd CPU and Nvidia 2000 GPU.
Does that change anything in terms of OS choice?

At this point, the only thing holding me back from switching is gaming, my work doesn’t require any specialized software. I get that my Steam library stands a good chance of mostly just working via proton, but how well does stuff like Lutris realistically function for old windows games from offline GOG installers, for example? Can I really play (nearly) all of my stuff with enough tinkering?

>>106967306
More or less. I find bottles better than lutris now days, but you might have to make sure everything is in it's working directory it's allowed access to. It makes wine prefixes and stuff less of a headache

>>106967102
SMB/CIFS is usually the best option. It has Unix and Windows metadata and simple password authenticated encryption. As opposed to NFS, which is cleartext only unless you set up Kerberos.

>>106966798
The wiki said it was Gentoo for lazy people who didn't want to set things up, and I didn't want something as slow to update as debian and wasn't sure about fedora

Why is changing DNS server so hard on Linux? I've gotten everything else running but have bricked my network twice trying to change DNS, eventually resulting in a reinstall. Spent at least 2 hours on this.

>>106967725
Editing /etc/resolv.conf is "so hard"?

>>106967738
I edited it, saved it. Can open it up again and my edits are there. But it doesn't apply at all and then after restarting the file is back to it's default.

>>106967231
no really
novideo drives are the same everywhere
most distributions use more or less the same kernel and drivers ( + - a few tweaks)
>>106967306
>but how well does stuff like Lutris realistically function for old windows games from offline GOG installers, for example?
it was literally made for this
lutris is essentially a community driven archive for videogames
>Can I really play (nearly) all of my stuff with enough tinkering?
depends on stuff
but as ive ly mentioned a million times in these threads around 80% of steam games work on linux (to my dismay)
>>106967531
still dont understand why you want to go with source based distribution
but you can run things like podman on any distribution
core utilities are all the same everywhere (except maye latest ubuntu lmao)
>>106967725
just go to your distributions wiki and type "DNS" in search bar
and then just follow instructions
if its shit like this >>106967738 then its literally changing 4 or 8 dot separated numbers
i dont know how youve managed to fuck this up so badly you had to reinstall your entire system
nor do i know why you didnt back up the config file before changing it if you are that new to this
>>106967901
something else is being used on top of it
i had shit like this happen with openmediavault
what distro are you using?

>>106967901
chmod a-w /etc/resolv.conf
You have something else, systemd or networkmanager overriding the file. Just make it read only.

>>106967913
>>106967231
not really*

>>106967913
Bazzite, but the same thing happens on KDE Plasma and Mint too.
I know it's user error in some capacity, it just doesn't seem to work for me.
I've tried the following guides
https://www.linuxfordevices.com/tutorials/linux/change-dns-on-linux
https://mullvad.net/en/help/dns-over-https-and-dns-over-tls#linux
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2Aw95CQUIg

>>106967913
>still dont understand why you want to go with source based distribution
I'm not attached to source based, just easy to install. I'm more interested in managing the services than the device they run on

>>106967972
you have NetworkManager right?
if yes you can try this
https://wiki.debian.org/NetworkConfiguration#resolv.conf.DNS_configuration_for_NetworkManager
>>106968024
then you can use any distribution really
id go with the ones that arent musl tho, musl is annoying

Easy way is to just do it in the browser. Who really cares what else sees your DNS? Check with a DNS resolver.

>>106967972
also you can try this
https://serverfault.com/questions/1145358/how-can-i-configure-my-dns-settings-on-debian-12
and people ask why everyone hates systemd

what did you edit this time?

>>106967972
for bazzite/fedora, you'll want to edit /etc/systemd/resolved.conf and add your dns in there like so: https://github.com/kuladog/fedora-gnome-setup/blob/main/configs/systemd/resolved.conf

>>106968139
youre on systemd
fkn undo whatever changes you did
go into /etc/systemd/resolved.conf and change the dns to whatever you want to use under [resolve]

>>106968200
That only applies if he's using systemd-resolved. And either way /etc/resolv.conf is what actually matters because libc uses it for name resolution.

>>106968336
bazzite, and by extension fedora, uses resolved by default

>>106968435
And there we go, another reason not to use trash distros.

>>106957490
What is the easiest way to get Power Point running on Linux? I knew there is Libre Impress, but I do a lot of presentation and refused a lot of old slides. Lots of them have effects that ain't replicable on Impress

>>106968455
winboat, i used it to get outlook running

>>106968336
well yes but his shit is being overwritten so unless you teach him how to lock it completely that little factoid isnt really helpful
>>106968455
you didnt try open office?

>>106968472
>open office
I believe there is no difference between Libre Office and Open Office no?

wsl --install

>>106968480
oh you are right
i wonder is there a way to convert them to pdf?

>>106968480
Oh, boy...
You have Open Office, Libre Office, OnlyOffice, StarOffice...
Personally I like Only Office the best.

>>106968506
its weird how libreoffice suffers if your hardware acceleration isnt working
tho if you run it in compatibility - or whatever the fuck - mode it is smooth

>>106968450
What about CachyOS or Mint? (Arch vs Gnome)?
Zorin?

>>106968583
Arch uses glibc resolver I think. It has systemd-resolved installed, but it's not enabled unless you manually enable it.

>>106963711
There are two options, Prusa which is archaic, and Lychee which is subscription based and just announced some shitty gen AI feature

Dolphin Manager on arch hyprland. Having issues with text suddenly being black and not matching current theme being used (catppucin blue), so it's hard to read. Happened after a recent update, but idk exactly when since I don't use dolphin much. Anyone know if it's a known issue or know a fix?

>>106969361
nvm fixed. replaced existing qt6 with qt6-kde from aur.
