i remember... my first distro was debian, i wanted to play games and got annoyed often by the lack of new software, i didnt know what i was doing, totally lost, but now on fedora i have updoots served to me and i dont want to play anymore, because all i want is my debian, for i love my old packages and more, debi my love, soon we'll be united, wait no more :(

no, gnome is actually pretty simple and comfy, but trannies prefer Arch cause of "customising" and others find GNOME way too "basic".

it all boils down to stereotypes, but a real blackpill wouldn't give a shit about that. let them cope, you know GNOME just works, and that's enough.

man... i run it once 6 months, thats the extent, the impact of debi in my life.

does anyone have a retardproof guide on how to get bottles or even wine working?
i cant launch any games because it says something about being unable to create a window and that the driver couldnt be loaded
chatgpt(yes) said that it's a permission issue but it doesnt matter if i put the games inside the bottles directory or not
meanwhile preinstalled wine games from lutris work without a problem

>>106986815
I use pre-made configs from lutris. As for wine, use normal version of it, or try wine-db for versions that work. Mess around with winecfg. Older games like older Windows, XP works nice. Make a seperate prefix for your game so it won't mix with others. Wine is a really fussy tool, there's also Proton which has more support. Ah, and I assumed you already did 'sudo chmod +x *'.

>>106986904
do i have to run it with sudo chmod?
i gave bottles read/write permission in flatseal

I’m having an issue with mediainfo-gui only showing a blank page when opening files with certain letters in the filename (non-English letters, emojis, upside down question marks etc) but works fine if the file is renamed. Somehow it works if I launch it through the console mediainfo-gui "filename¿.mp4" or if I use mediainfo-qt instead of mediainfo-gui

Anon in the previous thread suggested a locale issue but I already have my locale.conf set to LANG="en_US.UTF-8"

Is there any way to get mediainfo-gui to work normally with those filenames? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

>>106987006
i mean, maybe the clanker was right on this one? maybe it is a permission issue. so running chmod to add execute permissions seems like a logical move

>>106986435
not the whole script because there is a bunch of shell "libraries" as well and its pointless to put them there but here is one of the ways to open and detach GUI app from the shell

>>106987615
>whats the underscore variable
The output of cksum is "checksum" "filesize" "name". the underscore is there just to show that the variable is unused, by the recommendation of shellcheck.

>>106987639
yea you should embrace the h4ck3rm4n user interface anon

Besides the outdated and freetarded packages (you can add a channel for nonfree) it is overall better than Nix in terms of design and actually having documentation. But it is primarily for emacs nerds who need to cope with a fake lisp machine.
Declarative package management for regular desktop usage is still a complete meme in either case.

Hardware I guess? make sure you can actually run it on bare metal.

Use smartctl --scan-open instead, it will even give you the parameters to use for oddball controllers.

so
tinycore (TC) or alpine linux (AL), or neither?
within proxmox I want to run various dockers for a home server, but I also want to run a mini desktop environment for writing/editing documents and internet browsing
so should I do them within VM of TC or AL, or not in a docker/VM at all and just on the base Proxmox?
thanks

>>106988677
i dont know what C library does TC use but alpine uses musl so you need to be aware of that
i dont know what init tinycore uses but alpine uses openrc if i remember correctly which is one of the main inits for projects like gentoo so its more or less well documented
other than that i don know what would be a noticeable difference

I installed Fedora KDE and got some basics done (installed media codecs, tinkered with settings a bit, got my usual programs installed, even got an icon pack) what else should I do to "fully set" this distro up? what tips/advice do you anons have?

>t. new linux user who hopped from Mint

So how does wine and wineprefix work? I get that it emulates windows or whatever but why do I need to create a prefix for it? Why can't it just go:
>this program is 32 bit so I'll run it at 32 bits
???

I've read that the Brother HL-L1232W has AirPrint. I want a driverless printer but it's the only one from https://openprinting.github.io/printers/ that is available in my region.

Will it work driverless by USB too? And the wireless is only about the printer itself, I can print from the same network on ethernet right?

>>106989673
The prefixes are expendable. Think of how Windows used to rot in the 9x days and you had to reinstall Windows every now and then, the prefixes are like that. They can be broken by updates or simply by installing wrong software. They need to be modifiable so you can't just have one tucked away in /usr or something.

>>this program is 32 bit so I'll run it at 32 bits
Soon 64 bit prefixes can run 32 bit software too.

>>106989694
That site is not 100% correct, my Canon for example is listed as only AirPrint but it supports IPP Everywhere just fine. Don't rely on it too much.

>Will it work driverless by USB too?
Probably not.

>And the wireless is only about the printer itself, I can print from the same network on ethernet right?
Usually yes, but I suggest reading the printer's manual online before you buy just in case the printer only has hotspot capability. If the manual presents a way to configure a wifi network for the printer to connect to you're fine.

>>106989811
How soon? By then, will I still need prefixes?

>>106989831
Latest versions of Wine already only make 64-bit prefixes.

>will I still need prefixes?
Obviously.

>>106989830
ty ill search for a manual

>>106989831
>How soon?
Look up wine-wow64, can't say when it becomes the default.
>By then, will I still need prefixes?
Yes, you will always need them as the Windows files need to be stored there.

>>106989838
>>106989852
But wine creates it's own C drive, why can't all the windows files be there?

>>106989873
The C drive is contained inside the prefix

>>106989880
What do you mean?
I have drive C on
>~/.wine/drive_c
And another one on
>~/.local/share/wineprefixes/[prefix name]/drive_c
There's two of them, why do I need two of them?

>>106989903
They're different ones. The one in your home is the default one if you don't specify one, the one in .local is probably one you created by using winetricks. You don't need two, you only need one.

>>106989928
I need all sorts of dotnetXX for stuff. When I install those, which C drive do they go in? If they go in one C drive, do they work for stuff installed in another C drive?

>>106989949
>I need all sorts of dotnetXX for stuff. When I install those, which C drive do they go in?
~/.wine/drive_c
Everything goes in there unless you choose another prefix

>>106989903
Not that anon but ~/.wine is the "main" one, when you run something without specifying a prefix it will end up using it. You can just use that one for everything but if we're talking vidya when multiple games need different winetricks components they can end up conflicting with each other eg dotnet35 and another one needs mono, it will break the prefix (or the game that needs the other one). Some people separate the prefixes by engine, some by game or dependencies, it's all up to you, steam for example uses individual prefixes for everything.

>>106989852
64bit prefixes are already default.

>>106989966
Not gayman, those run fine native.
Pretty much all work related junk I hate using but hate rebooting into windows even more. If it does happen that they break on the main drive, can I fix it easily? If they were all on a single prefix I could just delete that entire prefix and create a new one, right? Can I easily do that with the "main" one?
>>106989965
>unless you choose another prefix
Speaking of. When I install windows stuff, I do:
>wine /path/to/exe
So that's why I got all the stuff on the .wine drive. If I wanted to install it on a prefix, what would the command be?
>inb4 RTFM
TLDR didn't have that command handy...

>>106989991
But they still need some 32 bit libs don't they? What's the new wine wow64 about then? It's breaking old 32 bit prefixes.

>>106989997
You set the WINEPREFIX variable. So
>wine /path/to/exe
Becomes
>WINEPREFIX="/path/to/prefix" wine /path/to/exe

>>106990032
And there's no command before the WINEPREFIX part? It's just an argument without a command?
>"/path/to/prefix"
Needs the "? Ends in the prefix folder, not on the c drive? Right?

>>106990062
>And there's no command before the WINEPREFIX part? It's just an argument without a command?
>Needs the "? Ends in the prefix folder, not on the c drive? Right?
Yes, both are correct. WINEPREFIX is an environment variable and specifying it like that is one way to set it.

>>106990130
Setting a prefix only counts for that one command? Next one will default to .wine prefix, right?
And yet another thing. When running windows software on wine, they look different than they would natively under windows. I get the header bars and stuff being different, but not the entire interface being like that. On winecfg, disallowing the window manager to decorate and control the windows doesn't change that behaviour. Is there an easy way to make them look as they do in windows or is that a windows specific thing and I should just not bother?

>>106989628
my two advices:
stop asking random retards advice on the internet and do what you need to do in order to do achieve what you want

and learn to love CLI
you can do a lot of useful shit with it
its easy to use once you learn it
and its easier for devs
i want them to implement features, not pander to tech illiterate
>>106990062
>Needs the "?
not him but in shell when you are assigning a path to variable you usually use "" so that /path/bitch niggas doesnt become
/path/bitch
niggas

also you can use variables in them like
niggas="bitch niggas"
ls "/path/$niggas"

just a little bit of trivia so you are less confused by this stuff

>>106990161
>Setting a prefix only counts for that one command? Next one will default to .wine prefix, right?
Yeah, there are ways to save it like creating a desktop file or a script

I like to disable the "light" theme in winecfg to get the classic theme look. Supposedly, you can install Windows themes (msstyles) on WINE, but I never tried it.

So, I'm a programmer (c/c++); and I also like to make shit out of nothing at all-often in the middle of the night. Like most of you I have a few cell phones with 512 GB sd cards, that are doing nothing but collecting dust in the junk drawer. So I'm thinking, why not run Linux on the cellphone and have it act like a small server? Install linux, connect power and internet, and now I have a small portable media server for movies and stuff.

So what is a good flavor of Gnu/Linux to run on a cellphone? To add to the list of challenges, I'd like to bench mark the cellphone by trying to compile c++ code on the cellphone (might be a good youtube channel btw).
I'm a c++ programmer professionally, and crafted a gui to run and encapsulate ffmpeg into a large 30k+ lines of code. ffmpeg + the gui wrapper/cmd line interface is around 30k lines of code, and it takes about an hour to compile. Could be a good bench mark. Any ideas?
My cell phones: some motorolla from 2015 and a samsung galaxy s9. I'm not an Arch guy, but I can see a middle of the night challenge to install linux from scratch onto a cellphone.

I've just jumped to KDE Plasma and I'm wondering if there's any way to force it to reload the configs in ~/.config/kdeglobals and plasmarc without having to log out. I just want to change plasma style, application style and colors with a script instead of doing it from the settings menu.

My reason for wanting to use a script is so that I can make it change more than just plasma style, but also styles of individual programs that are also saved as accessible config files. I want a script to easily change between presets I make for myself instead of tracking down 500 indivdual options.

Settings (if they need to be done) can be done in 10-15 minutes and you are done for years (and on all normal distros are "sane") and all just work.

How can you properly test a wifi connection on a distro running in a VM? My laptop is using wifi, but the distro in the VM shows a wired connection. How can I be sure if I install the distro on metal, it will play nice with the proper wifi card drivers?

Bottles is somewhat finicky to set up.
Sometimes when you change a runner or install something it might fail to copy over some files.
Then there is also the fact that Bottles is most likely a flatpak and for this you'll need to use flatseal (software) or at least give some permissions eg.
>flatpak override --user --filesystem="/mnt/work" com.usebottles.bottles
>flatpak override --user --filesystem="/mnt/work gaymes" com.usebottles.bottles

It's hard to say really. Try the command line option just in case.
Bottles just manages a directory structure which contains a fake windows installation with dlls and c_drive, which wine or proton or whatever then reads and uses.
Here's my own guide for setting up Escape From Tarkov for bottles. I wrote it for myself because I'm a retard and want to have some sort of recipe for the future and because Tarkov (single player mod) is probably one of more involving ones.
Hope you can learn something from it. It only serves as an example. Only install additional dependencies if your game needs them.

Low latency audio and VST plugins are better left for windows. That being said, could be possible that you are able to run it via a VM but I wouldn't hope anything. Better ask from /mu/ or something.

In Windows you just need asio driver and that's that.
>>106995580

The funny part about this statement is that you generalize Ubuntu users as those who don't want to do things with their PC outside basic tasks...

I mean sure, if you love Ubuntu, use it. By all means. But NixOS I'd argue is even more stable than Ubuntu since even on the off chance something breaks, you can simply reboot into a known working config within seconds... literally an option in your boot loader. And NixOS has very up to date software, and WAY more packages.

So if pure stability is what you're after, what's better than a really stable OS plus the ability to rollback very easily should something break? It's better than being stuck in the past because "Stability".

I use Pika Backup on GTK, and Vorta on QT. Same functionality.

Put your files onto a folder in /home.
Tidy up where you put stuff etc.
And then copy things into a pendrive.
Or have like a low power NAS pc and backup things into it[it's really handy trust me if you forget to backup you at least don't start fresh, if you don't keep your backup on the pendrive after install]:

Or a more complex to assemble(you have to buy the right motherboard, cpu, psu and setup the power saving on PCIE on Linux).

>>106996177

hi, I got told off in ldg so I'll try here: what's the best way to install Nvidia drivers on debian 13? completely new system. only goals are cuda for image/video gen and maybe run llms too. no gaming

>>106996615
it has open source driver already by default
or do you mean proprietary one?

>>106996634
good question. all this time I was operating under the assumption the proprietary one might be a hard requirement for most image and video gen workflows. that's just hearsay though

>>106996615
you just gotta enable the non-free and non-free-firmware options in your /etc/apt/sources.list or /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.sources and then just do sudo apt update && sudo apt install nvidia-driver

>>106996663
honestly i dont know myself
novideo is a software company and for that reason they dont cooperate with FOSS much
after all there is a reason why Linus (based one, not the canadian cuck) flipped these faggots off
but you need to ask people who actually use novideo products

but if you want to install their proprietary driver there is usually an option through package manager

also you can download it from their website windows style but you need to get comfortable with tty cause last time i had to install their drivers that way at work it required me to exit x11 and do it in tty

>>106996723
>>106996762
thank you. got it

REEEEE 4 more days until Fedora 43 comes out

>>106996615
You can just enable the nonfree option but that will "only" get you the 550 driver. That might not be enough for the 5000 series cards.

Don't download from Nvidias website because that will basically fuck up your package manager.

Nvidia also runs a repository for various distros but for some reason they have not updated for Debian 13 yet.

You do know you can use a VPN and CGNAT with IPv6 too, right? These are not limited to IPv4.

>>106997052
Of course there's not really any point in doing NAT or CGNAT with IPv6 because privacy addressing exists which fixes the tracking issue (yes, they thought about the privacy implications of giving everyone a sticky global IPv6 address and already came up with a solution to it of giving everyone rotating addresses that can be used for ephemeral connections that don't need static connectivity)

the annoying part is i did so many different things including deleting some snapshots (which i think did it) but i don't exactly know what made the difference. got 100gb on a 256gb m.2 back so it was worth it.

>>106997009
Nope. Even Sid has 550. But thats just Debian things i guess.

>>106996953

not him bu downloading from a website worked fine for us for ubuntu so im not sure what other anon is about

>>106997122
It seems you can use the Debian 12 repo. Use this guide and install nvidia-open.

https://github.com/mexersus/debian-nvidia-drivers

>>106997160
Yes it works fine the moment you install it. But as soon as your package manager tries to update the driver it will touch the files you just installed and things will break.

>>106997186
i see
cant you filter out opensource driver like you can do with pacman?

>>106997199
It is not about open source or not. Its about the Nvidia installer (from the website) touching files and the package manager not knowing about it.

>>106997224
so system libraries?
are you saying river breaks deps for other packages and package and package manager breaks deps for driver?

Theming is a waste of time. Things should look great out of the box, so one spends their time using their computer instead of arranging it for hours, thereby wasting their life.

>>106998157
>hours
it takes 15 to 20 minutes once you know what you want and then you stop fucking with it its not different than setting up the OS initially
and gnome does not look great out off the box it also comes nigh on unusable for anything but full screen programs

>>106998178
cool opinions, which I do disregard however.

>>106998195
then dont come in here spewing about gnome anytime anyone brings up others DE/WMs cause they disregard your opinion

>>106998212
I shall do as I like. You hold no power over me, an enjoyer of GNOME, the most popular Linux Desktop Environment.

I think gnome looks good out of the box. It's the first time I don't feel the need to change the default theme

>>106998221
no one cares if you prefer gnome most of us regard it as unusable garbage

Gnome should remove extension support as well. They are breaking it every version anyway.

>>106998254
>make the unusable garbage even more unusable
greateven more reasons for me to use other things id honestly use windows 11 over gnome

>>106998236
You're free to have whatever opinion you like.

>>106998254
I only use 4 extensions and they are all up to date:
- Open Bar
- Caffeine
- Clipboard Manager
- Dash to Dock
don't need any more.

>>106998254
They break because there never was official support for them in the first place

>>106998289
one of the many reasons i use something else cause the gnome maintainers would rather you use another DE than use theirs and want to change it im literally respecting their wishes

Debian, Gentoo, Void
Which one should I choose?

>>106998334
arch

>>106998334
Do you value your time and want something that just works? Debian
Do you like to tinker and do things the hard way? Gentoo or Void
Are you a midwit? Arch

>>106998350
what do you have against arch?

>>106998350
Will there be a significant fps diff in games if I go for debian instead of the other two(three?)

>>106998482
no its al,l about your preference in how hard you want to work setting it up
its the same drivers no matter what distro

>>106998350
>just works
>Debian
Fucking arch is more "just works" than debian these days

>>106998015
>we can see it in this image
>the image is literally just a neat desktop
im both gnome and KDE hater however some
if you people's "criticisms" are down right autistic
>>106998517
how so?

>>106998015
I will bet my left nut that KDE Linux will be more popular than GNOME OS.

i want to babysit my oled
any way to make kde's 30 second screen dimming more aggressive and darker or maybe forcing the screen lock to happen after 30 seconds?

>>106998562
By GNOME OS, yes I meant the GNOME operating system. GNOME has an operating system:
https://os.gnome.org/

How many people do you know that are daily driving it? KDE will probably surpass them overnight.

>>106998577
You can change how long the screen locker kicks in via the power management settings.

>>106998482
I'll be honest here, if you're new to linux forget about Gentoo or Void
>significant fps diff in games
Not really, it depends on your hardware, if your gpu is new you'll probably have a better experience on something like Arch/Endeavour/Cachy or Fedora/Bazzite

>>106998592
yeah i know
but the minimum is 1 minute and i want it down to 30 secs

>>106998603
KDE supports idle inhibit so you can probably use something like Sways sway-idle at lower intervals and then invoke the screen locker that way. I highly doubt 30 seconds versus 60 seconds will have a measurable impact on burn-in though.

>>106998603
i will barge into this discussion just to point out that if settings app was CLI there wouldve been more flexible settings

>>106998581
nobody has ever heard of or will be using either of them either way, and gnome will still have 100x more users than kde as always

>>106998592
WHY THE FUCK DO PEOPLE NOT READ QUESTIONS AND JUST GIVE THESE SHIT CANNED RESPONSES ARE YOU AN IDIOT? YOU REPLY IS NOT FUCKING HELPFUL ITS FUCKING OUTRIGHT OBVIOUS HE KNEW THAT YOU ABSOLUTE MORON
USE YOUR FUCKING BRAIN

>>106998653
I think you're wrong there. There's a niche market for an up-to-date KDE distro that's not Arch (although KDE Linux is based off of it) but designed with complete newbies in mind.

>>106998656
Okay, I won't help you then. Go fuck yourself.

>>106998673
this nigga actually cant read lmao
this is a different guy

>>106998541
Debian can cause problems with drivers, especially on older hardware. I've had it with laptops several times. Arch on the other hand is extremely easy to set up with archinstall and so long as you don't start tweaking it like crazy (which to be fair most arch users will) it's not just gonna break out of nowhere.

>>106998673
im not even that guy im just sick of these boiler plate answers that anymore moron ho is asking would have tried already its a waste of fucking time and you retards pop up everywhere it pisses me off so fucking bad

>>106998702
what kind of problems?

>>106998702
Even if it does become unstable (which never happens as long as you don't fuck something up like pulling 100 packages from the AUR or doing partial upgrades) you can always roll back a snapshot or two

>>106998703
>im just sick of these boiler plate answers that anymore moron ho is asking would have tried already
You would be surprised. The morons who ask questions here don't know how to ask smart questions:

They don't say what they've tried or even if they've tried anything at all it's just:

It's available via HTTP but every browser warns about that too nowadays:

>>106998702
Never had any such problems. Be more specific.

Can you upload your video to somewhere that doesn't apply rate limits?
Imgur just gives me HTTP/429

>>106998708
>>106998763
Mainly wifi drivers. It's a known problem for a certain brand of wifi modules, I forget. There is a fix, but you need to use ethernet or something equivalent to connect to the internet and then download a particular package, fwcutter something. Finding this out drove me nuts because I found it hard to find, actually doing it is annoying but not that bad, you just have to know what to do. And no, the non-free version doesn't include the drivers.

>>106998779
you can post gifs here if you know how to convert it to gif
>>106998840
interesting
i havent ran into any wifi issues for over a decade now
i do know that wifi usb dongles is a minefield in FOSS ecosystem

>>106998847
It was the built in one not a dongle, the problematic brand is broadcom btw, just remembered it.

>>106998863
yea its just as far as i understand wifi modules are more or less covered nowadays

>>106998593
Does Debian support fsr4 on rdna4?

>>106998910
probably need a newer mesa version

>>106998779
Update your DE, this was fixed recently.

are scrolling WMs a gimmick or can they be useful?

>>106999059
they are probably useful for someone
im not sure how but hey
i use tmux as a WM

>>106995952
How many monitors do you have? I'm never going to NixOS ever in my life but can it support multiple monitors and multiple sound systems without fucking up everytime it comes out of suspend or goes to sleep?

is ther a way to make the mouse "wrap" between monitor edges? os instead of it finding the end of my third monitor it will just move to my first

>>106998779
Looks like a GTK bug. I remember this ages ago but it got fixed. Do >>106999046

>>106998136
>muh ricing
Completely irrelevant.

>>106998279
Almost everyone using GNOME uses at least 1 of these extensions. That really tells you that it's missing some core functionality of a DE. Every single OS has a clipboard manager, for example. Using GNOME without extensions feels like going back 15 years in terms of usability (not in a good way).

>>106998289
You're incorrect. If extensions were never intended to exist, then you wouldn't even have them in the first place. GNOME clearly cares about people being able to make the extensions. Extensions just break because GNOME devs decided not to care about ABI backwards compatibility. They'd rather break interfaces rather than keep legacy code in their code base. There's nothing really wrong with that since it helps avoiding technical debt / bloat.
It's fundamentally a rolling-release desktop environment. So it's up to the developers of extensions to keep up with the DE changes, or up to the users to avoid upgrading GNOME. If you want your extensions to not break you're supposed to use either an LTS distro, or a distro that feature freezes GNOME to a specific version. Your extensions will still break once you decide to upgrade to the new version, but at least you'll have years before that happens.

>>106998517
>>106998702
The guy is picking between 3 distros that are barely usable on desktops. Debian is the most "just works" between it, Gentoo and Void.

>>106999148
there is a difference between ricing and making your OS a color scheme you like with features you find personally useful

>>106999193
>making your OS a color scheme you like
There's an extension for changing the color scheme of pretty much every UI element. And you can always tinker with the CSS overrides manually.
>with features you find personally useful
There's dozens of extensions which are consistently kept up to date. I'm sure the most commonly wished for features are covered by them. And creating your own extension isn't difficult.

>>106999254
>extensions
they are not something the maintainers want you to use therefor i will not nor will i use their DE
