Should I try loading a previous version with timeshift? Thankfully my laptop is has a touch screen

>>107045719
let me guess, arch?
arch and hyprland go well together. garbage for garbage users.

The truth is that all distros break during updates. Might as well install Arch since it breaks the least and you know how to fix it

>>107045884
I just reinstall every two years. No problem.

>>107045884

>>107045921
This but I distro hop

>>107045884
I dunno about that, I've broken my Arch like 2 times in the past couple of months. Granted it's my own fault for doing wacky shit. I doubt I'd be doing all this weird shit on another distro.

>>107045884
If stability is important to you:
>Debian
>Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)
>openSUSE
Other stable options are LTS distros but even those distros will break now and then.

>>107045884
That's why you have backups dumbass.
>Arch breaks the least
lmao

>>107045884
Not Debian stable if you didn't break it yourself

>>107045884
My Silverblue install hasn't broken since 2019. Like it or not, immutable distributions are the future for the average consumer. Android and iOS proved that it works and works well.

>>107045962
No I'm sticking with Arch. I haven't broken it since I did a partial update in 2010

>>107045884
Immutable distros are unbreakable.

>>107045962
This is only by Debian's definition of stability, which just means "package versions don't change so your ABIs won't break". And if we're talking about distributions you'd give an average normie, these are definitely not usable.

>>107045993
why the FUCK would anyone here care what the average consumer does? ostree maybe makes sense if someone other than you is administrating the device. In most cases simple btrfs snapshots are probably just as good unless you have real frequent breakage. Atomic distro on a self-administrated system is 100% masturbation.

>>107045697
>>107044444

>>107046093

>>107046129
Might be irrelevant if you loaded the modules manually but try it anyway

>>107046059
>Atomic distro on a self-administrated system is 100% masturbation.
No, it's the "I give up being a maintainer and sysadmin of my own OS" button. I have a job and a life outside of my computer. So when I use it I'd like it to just work without having to tinker with it or panic each time I update my system. The "normie" distros like Ubuntu and Mint have absolutely not provided this experience.

>>107045998
You can break anything if you try hard enough.

>>107046105
You're not a very adventurous fella are you? I moved an existing install to btrfs snapshots.

That makes sense, Nvidia is a huge pain in the ass on Linux.

Linux is a complete meme.

In windows I can simply install 7zip, right-click a folder and calculate the sha256.

In Linux mint there is no GUI option and I have to use the console which takes a lot of time for some reason.

In windows disk utility deleted my fucking LUKS ext4 Linux partition (on separate SSD),only the bootloader remains on its small separate partition. I ran testdisk (on a live cd) after 2 hours of searching it says theres a 1572GB LUKS 2 data size unknown Linux filesys. data on my 1024GB SSD. AI says I should not restore it since its the wrong size, doing so will just make it worse.

You keep saying Linux rocks and windows sucks and why no one uses Linux, but every time I want to do some simple task on Linux I have to go far and beyond to have what I need.

The GUI also sucks balls for some reason, it's like Linux is allergic to any kind of human interaction with the computer.

>>107046838
You're probably using some wine frontend installed through flatpak or some sandboxed wine environment. In that case wine won't have access to anything outside of it's simulated Windows drives/paths.
If you install wine system wide (ie "sudo apt|dnf|pacman install wine) it has access to your entire drive. It maps your whole root directory to a z:\ drive and it maps your home directory to the user folder iirc. So, you can install notepad.exe and edit your .bashrc with it if you want.

>>107046938
If you install wine as a system package you can associate .exe files with it so that double clicking will just execute any windows exe you have. No need to learn the CLI when it behaves like Windows, aside from potential incompatibility quirks.
I personally just use Bottles for everything and it works fine. If you need it to access the rest of your system you can set it up to do so. I assume winetricks is similar.

>>107046953

That mentality is the problem. Instead of just giving an answer, Linux users always derail and ask "why would you want that" like a redditor, instead of just answering.

With windows I always get an answer. With Linux for every problem I get, I'm told "you don't need it" or mockery. Linux is completely user-unfriendly. I installed Linux mint and it's honestly giving me a headache. I will probably install windows 10 ltsc because I can't keep wasting time on things that shouldn't ge a problem on the first place, just because Linux doesn't like GUI

So I upgraded to Fedora 43 last night and now my laptop is kill. It starts, it reaches the “loading Fedora” screen and then there is a flash of the shit you see when you shut down and then it just becomes a blinking cursor and never loads. I can’t load previous versions of Fedora either, because I assume the update deleted something that the old Fedora needs. I’ve fucked it completely (the upgrade wouldn’t even run through the Software interface so I had to use the terminal to destroy everything lmao).

What can I do? I can still dual-boot the laptop into Windows 10, but it’s not a nice experience and all my shitposting resources, reaction images, copypastas etc are only available through Fedora. I saw in the previous thread that I might not be the only person having this issue, but I don’t think I had WINE installed since this is really just a shitposting 4chan laptop.

Am I going to have to just reinstall it from scratch? Is it a hardware problem, like what fucked my kernel last month? If I do reinstall from scratch, will I at least be able to keep my gigabytes of Pepes and Kornheisers and Stallmen?

>>107046991
>How do you know if you get 3 minutes or 30 until it finishes
Because it's your data on your storage, and you should have a rough idea how long it's going to take given the program just reads and compares all the files in both directories without calculating anything. It does print mismatches as soon as it finds them.

There are also myriad ways to check its progress externally. Not least modern terminals giving you visual alerts when your process exits.

Basically just stop losing your mind over trivial differences.

How is your mind blown with that image? Bases are just crypto numerology, or basically representations of numbers in a different form, like binary.

>>107047552
You can just compile your own Linux kernel it's not that difficult. The harder part is backporting Mesa which you'd almost certainly need. You may also want to check if Intel has a driver package for RHEL that you can install. I don't know if they do but I really wouldn't be surprised.

>>107047659
People tend to forget that when you are talking about bases its relative. It's just a way to compare a non-standardized number system to the standardized system that we have, base is just an imaginary conversion unit. But for some reason writing 8 as 4^2 or 20 is somehow magic to people who don't use numbers regularly.
I don't even blame them to be honest, educational system is shit and its very good at snuffing out curiosity of the world as well.

>>107047630
I have tried a few buttons when booting up, and I got to choose which kernel to boot from, but my recovery one (Fedora 30) stopped before it fully loaded as well. All that works is Windows 10. I've looked online and I could apparently make a new partition with all my old Fedora data using GParted, then completely reinstall Fedora (or something else because this is bullshit) and I should still have my old data that way. I was hoping I could fix it with a bootable USB drive or something, but it's not looking good.

>>107047659
But why do we call it base 10 when there's no such number as 10? What is 10's real name? Also, this installation of Windows 10 has not been updated since 2017, so it's been a while since my mind was blown by this.

>>107047765
Have you tried booting with the nomodeset kernel command line? Sounds like you can get to your bootloader.

>>107047765
>But why do we call it base 10 when there's no such number as 10?
There is a number known as ten, it's the termination number. If we were in base 4 the termination number would be 4, not 10.
The joke is that bases are imaginary and relative. There is not "base 4" for them because their base is 4. Much like how there is no "base 10" for us, because we count in base 10. It's a relativity joke

I want to check if two folders are the same.

I right click and see if they have the same size. They don't, but I'm pretty sure they are the same folder. It seems that mint doesn't give you the size of the files but the size on disk. And the properties window gives you almost no information compared to even windows (windows gives you the size and the size on disk) Whatever.

I try to check the hash. I can't.
Diff doesn't give you the time it takes and the console is dirty anyways.
Zip doesn't come with a GUI for some reason.

I installed quickhash and it doesn't have a drag option. Gtkhash doesn't let you do folders.

This is a nightmare. I just want to rightclick a folder and have an option to get a single sha256 from it.

I don't want a million command lines, I don't want to use the console, I don't want a program that has that option hidden behind 100 options. I want an USER FRIENDLY option. For fucks sake.

I know for a fact that 2 of my big folders are the same, but they are on different disks, so I think this is the problem why mint is saying they gave different sizes.

On windows by default I can see 2 options, size of the files and their size on disk. So the size on disk can be different but the actual size be the same.

Fucking windows gives more information about what is happening than Linux mint. Which is crazy.

This is not user friendly at all what the hell.

Then you're back to install 7zip in wine because there is no canonical way to compute the hash of a folder. Hashes work on bits.

I don't know what bootloader you have or how it works, but at least GRUB says something like "press e to edit the commands" when you're on the screen where you select what to boot. All of them should have that option.

You could make a hash of the hashes, which I suppose is the way it works with 7zip and windows. But why isn't that wrapped inside a simple GUI option in Linux is crazy to me.

At this point I think I will just install windows 10 again and debloat the ltsc version. Despite what you all say here, it is easier than having to deal with this shit.

No popular program works, the update doesn't work and I have to manually update fucking discord and steam, I can't use any took for work and I have to use the crappy off brand Linux version, the mint GUI doesnt have the intuitive functions windows has, it's all madness.

Maybe I'm just slow but I just realized there's always at least one(1) person shilling immutable distros in these threads (sometimes in others). Not in the "hey, I like this distro because of X and Y, you should give it a try!" sense, but instead the "IF YOU DON'T USE THIS DISTRO YOU'RE A RETARD AND UNEMPLOYED!11" type of posts. My question is, why? is someone paying him for doing so? or is he doing it for free? I don't get it. It's an interesting concept but your average normalfag should be okay with a normal distribution, maybe add btrfs snapshots just in case, but that should be enough. As long as you're not running random scripts from github as root your system shouldn't break.

Having two problems so far with installing Chicago95 on Mint XFCE according to the instructions; there is no ability to utick the frame for the panel item plugins, and the xfquery command to enable the theme for sound events does not work. No instructions seem to be provided for desktop icon color highlights either.

>>107048140
cd /
I think that file is located in /root/ (I don't use Fedora)
But basically, it sounds like you have a working installation. Now how you get your GUI back I'm not entirely sure. Something is clearly wrong with your install, the reason you get in with nomodeset is because that disables graphics drivers. Which in your case apparently don't work. For reasons I can't speculate.

>>107048170
Thank you so much! I know what I’m doing now; I just don’t know the command to undo all the catastrophic damage I did. Hopefully I can just “dnf downgrade fedora” or something.

That's not what I asked for. What's the problem with Linux, you want for the user to be constantly changing and adapting and wasting its time instead of focusing on non retarded features.

Why is there no right-click option by default, or at least the option of integrating that simple task on cinnamon?
>>107048110
I tried to switch from windows to Linux because I keep hearing praises about how Linux is so awesome and how windows users are retarded and the only thing I got from installing Linux is an OS that doesn't work, that it's a fucking cancer to use, that has no support and where the users are complete jackasses that focus on masturbation games rather than creating an usable OS.

Seriously, debloating windows is 1000 times better than this shit. The only thing I got os time wasted and you will never get people to swich to Linux ever, at least not in your own merits, because you just are a bunch of autists unable to comprehend how humans work.

People will fix windows 10 after LTSC ends support or fully debloat windows 11 rather than using Linux because it fucking sucks. One day wasted with something that windows does in 5 minutes. This is madness, pure madness.

You need to agree on a standard traversal order because reading the same data in different order is a different hash.

The same reason Linux doesn't have an Everything clone or application firewall rules in the kernel. Dev culture doesn't like to promote wrong behavior because it makes things look simpler to end users.

You are missing the forest for the trees, I don't care about the ABCs, I want a simple task done, and Linux doesn't offer that without 5 command lines. Seriously, you need a command to sort, one for hash, one for recursive, instead of having all in one, it's madness.

>>107048195
I might need to come back to this page even after a new thread has been created, so I should make a post with all the steps.

Switch on
Esc
Select latest version, press E to edit
Add “nomodeset” after “quiet” then Ctrl-X to boot from it
When the screen is black, Ctrl-Alt-F6 to log in as root; it’ll go black again but just do Ctrl-Alt-F6 again
In your terminal now, cd / and it should be good
dnf history —help
dnf history list | head (to only see most recent changes)
dnf history rollback 138 (but this number might change)

Then you get another situation where you need to scroll up and can’t again. Either add —ignore-extras or —skip-unavailable but I’m not sure either of those will work.

If anyone reading this has any more tips, please keep helping me!

You are actually right, the reason why Linux can't break into the normiesphere is the fact that it is software you need to tard wrangle. However, just because you need to tard wrangle, doesn't mean it has to be painful tard wrangling. You basically have 3 options:
1) get gud and learn as much about operating systems as possible to fix your problem
2) go back to windows or apple
3) Since you value stability look up a Linux OS that is slow to update or values stability above all else.

what's your DE?

I'm trying to run a blender script that seems to have been made by a dingus as it has a common error for which the solution is to drop all of the files into the blender install directory. That makes sense in windows but I don't know quite what that means for linux. I put the script in /usr/share/blender/ which seems to be the right place but doesn't help. That fix sounds like it's a path issue but I'm still not sure what to do about this.

>>107048499
I don’t know what that is. I use Gnome; is that it? I know some things but there is a lot I have no idea about.

>>107048498

Why would I want to "git gud" instead of using an OS that just works?

I tried giving Linux a try because you all say it's objectively superior to windows, but is actually the opposite, it doesn't do basic shit right off the bat that windows does. Seriously why would I want to use Linux just for not being able to use an OS when debloating windows is easier and I know it will have less compatibility issues than Linux?

Like, what's supposed to do better than windows, because I've never heard precise stuff, just useless shit that isn't worth discarding GUIs or popular programs.

Honestly I think I might just give up on this here because it looks like this is going to be only the first of many issues with this fuckface's code. One wonders how he managed to figure out converting 3d model data structures without being able to handle the basic realities of a blender script.

>>107048557
It seems to work; I installed one of the things it said I needed and that is now installed so I’m running the previous command again to see if I get new warnings. However, it’s just come back to tell me that I still need mozjs140. Maybe ‘dnf history undo 139’ just deleted it again after I installed it.

Could I just do dnf update and see if that fixes everything?

>>107048588
If you need to know where Blender stuff is stored and you just aren’t used to Linux, you could type “locate *blender*” and that will find any file or directory with that word in it.

>Why would I want to "git gud" instead of using an OS that just works?
Because like it or not learning is a lifetime vocation.

I didn't say that.
>Seriously why would I want to use Linux just for not being able to use an OS when debloating windows is easier and I know it will have less compatibility issues than Linux?
Good point but at the same time how much do you care about your privacy? If the answer is "I don't", go back to windows. If the answer is "I do", then you'll tough it out and do some research to find a more user friendly and beginner friendly OS. Linux is, and hopefully will always be, for tech lovers, people who see new problems as a problem to solve, not a nuisance. If you want to "go live life" then go live it, nothing is stopping you, no one wants you to become a Linux neckbeard. There's not shame in wanting something different than what we want in life. That's the beauty of life.
>Like, what's supposed to do better than windows
I don't know, because I don't judge people by the operating systems they run. Its a legit moral and philosophical question we are all given.
>"Do you trade privacy and financial milking for freedom?"
Well guess what? Freedom isn't free it takes time, it takes effort, it takes learning. Yeah it sucks but if this is something that is "too much" for you then frankly, reinstall windows. There's no shame in saying this isn't what you wanted out of your OS or your life and feel free to then leave your Windows OS to go outside.

Its crazy you expect all people to ditch their lives and become computer autists like yourself. No farmer expects others to become farmers, no medic expects others to become medics, but Linux users want everyone to waste hours a day to learn Linux. You are deranged.

>>107048637
I am updating again now, but the update is only 250MB and that’s mostly another kernel update so if all my dependencies or whatever have disappeared, this probably won’t work. However! Maybe the missing stuff is missing because I did “nomodeset”; I have never used this before so I don’t know what it means.

>>107048650
You probably spent years to learn Windows. Anyway, nobody holds a gun to your head and says "Use this thing that is not fit for your purpose". If Windows is fit for your purpose then you ought to use that.
Linux is Linux, it's not going to be Windows. A scenario where you don't have to learn a different operating system when migrating from Windows to Linux is literally - LITERALLY impossible. Because Linux is not Windows. It just straight up isn't. You're saying the most asinine shit imaginable.

>>107048666
nomodeset prevents any kind of graphics acceleration from taking root. It gives you the most basic bitch graphics output there is. It makes 0 changes to your filesystem nor does it persist after restart. It is not even necessary if you can get an image on your screen and use your tty without it. It's just useful if you can't get an image at all.

>it's an OS that doesn't work, so it isn't really a choice.
We all live busy lives, if you aren't interested in learning how Linux operating systems work then I won't keep you. No one is keeping you here. This isn't a moral failing on your part, nor is it a moral failing on our part. We just want different things in life and that's okay despite what the distro wars will have you believe.
>Its crazy you expect all people to ditch their lives and become computer autists like yourself.
No, its crazy that you expect us to ditch our computer autism for your sensibilities. You have operating systems that cater to you. Apple and Windows. While I am sympathetic to your plight your at a crossroads you need to choose. Life is all about trade offs and compromises, this is one of them. I'm sorry you had to learn this via Linux Operating Systems, but that's the hard truth of life.
>No farmer expects others to become farmers
No, but he expects his children to become farmers which leads to their children not wanting to be farmers. Somehow you don't understand how this equates to you with operating systems?
> no medic expects others to become medics
They don't and they become alcoholics, which is honestly one of the few excuses I give people to be alcoholics. As well as military veterans, when you see how awful and how dark the world is, I don't blame people if they need to medicate via alcohol to cope. The world is dark and full of danger.
>but Linux users want everyone to waste hours a day to learn Linux
If learning is a "waste of time" for you, then Linux isn't for you. I'm sorry this was a negative experience for you, but frankly people who refuse to learn are subject to the forces they ignore.
>You are deranged.

I know how people are and how obstinate they are to adapt to a different of doing a thing. I know they will make a big deal of out of something trivial simply because it’s not done the way they are used to. I know that people having to use the terminal makes them shid and piss. I think you know this too and are self aware enough to know that the answer to your problem is right there but it’s not done in the exact way you want, even if it gives the same results, so you reject it. This is typical behavior and it’s not our job to dig you out of this mental hole you’ve dug yourself in.

Maybe you should look into how to manually bootstrap Fedora... I mean if you want to have fun.

It's just using dnf.

So what you're saying is... you have two different folders in two separate locations, and you want to verify whether the contents of those folders is the same?
There's a program called quickhash-GUI that you can use. It has a feature specifically for comparing two folders, seems pretty ideal for your use case.
Yeah, it's too bad that it doesn't come built into the operating system. But you don't want there to be too much bloat by default, right?

Is there some fundamental difference between Cinnamon and Xfce4 in gayming performance? I've only been testing Cinnamon and god damn accidentally fullscreening a some game will often crash the game. Most steam launched games are ok.
I feel like I'm not getting the best out of my gpu because the sync seems really iffy across the board. I think this is most likely due to the fact nvidia drivers are so bad but it's hard to say.
I don't even want to think about Wayland at this point.

>>107048414
dual-boot is bad

>>107046506
indeed it should, I would expect it to be in the list of option when I select "open with".
But it's not there, it's like it doesn't count CDemu as a program or something, or doesn't add it automatically there.

Next, I need to figure out how to get Returnal work.
Which means VP9 manual install for movies.
FATAL error crashes
and some other shit.
The game was so smooth and nice on windows, really want to figure out how to run this shit on linux.

>>107046288
I do know how to mount them, just not on this specific distro. In mint it literally just click on the iso file and it mounts.
On windows you just install a program for mounting it.
On cachyOS its a ??? process.

AlmOSt NooNE CoMPlA.... shut the fuck up. I can do that shit on my phone or my smart TV. My computer is bought/built for different reasons. I'm on linux right now. Games work. Launchers work. A couple of "bloaty" things I used missing, but that's alright. The problem ain't there. The problem is that the FUCKING OS ITSELF doesn't work. Every kernel update is a russian roulette game with 5 lives. Shit fucking soft-locks for no reason. God forbid you try to change anything in settings, you need to start digging forums and and trooncord posts and shit, cause 1 fucking button made your soundcard fuck off. Thank fuck there's them GPTs these days that kinda help you to get shit back. Fuck you. I have a full-time and a family and a cat. I'd rather legit debloat the fucking windows and have shit that let's me have my 2 hours of peace of mind in the evening instead of screaming "btw I use Arch" into the void, cause nobody gives a fuck.

wine 10.0 can't get live update for one app. try new wine-devel 10.17 and the update works but it crashes while running.

how do I get wine to see the library?
nvidia card, popos 22.04 (I know I need an upgrade but I don't want to set up all that shit rn), everything else works fine, no problem with other apps I run through wine or steam.

kind of a noob so it's possible I broke shit by doing something I didn't know was relevant to mention.

>>107050587
You probably have the incorrect version of that library. Linux doesn't have backwards or forwards compatibility (that's just the reality of using shared libraries). If you want to achieve that you need to use distrobox or flatpak. So either install a distro that's not 3 years out of date, or use the flatpak version of Bottles or Lutris which contain all the libraries required by wine.

>>107049165

why is wine supposed to update an app for you? Or do you mean run some shit that updates itself?
>try new wine-devel 10.17 and the update works but it crashes while running.
how did you get that wine-devel? Apparently not through your distros repositories.

>>107050604
thanks anon. I already tried flatpak Lutris. it can't get updates for this either. how can I tell if it's a version problem like you say? is mint 22.2 new enough iyo?

>>107050645
thank you, and you guessed right it is indeed some shit that updates itself :( it's a poker site, not a regular game. I got wine-devel with
>sudo apt install --install-recommends wine-devel
maybe from the winehq repository. I run it in its own prefix and call it from /opt/wine-devel/bin/

>>107050604
>>107050684
I lied I have a regular install of Lutris not the flatpak. will that really make a difference?

It should. Flatpak Runtime is effectively a Linux distribution itself and each Flatpak application pulls necessary dependencies into it.

Did you write that answer seriously? You are completely obvious, are you seriously that big of an autist and not realize that kind of autism is why people still think Linux sucks?
>>107048744
People have more going on in their lives unlike you, and they don't like wasting time when there are other options that just work (windows). That's why everyone uses windows and no one uses Linux (because it simply doesn't work). I use things that work, not things that do not work.

>>107048846
The GUI fucking sucks, it makes me manually unfold a route tree instead of dragging a folder or selecting a folder directly. And it doesn't let me calculate the hash of a single folder without comparing it.

If you do a GUI like this is better to not do anything at all.


Seriously, you are just a meme. Linux is fucking useless. What's the point of it being capable of doing some obscure crap after 20 command lines if basic shit it is unable to do and doesn't have an user interface for anything?

>>107051038
Feel free to program a GUI that fulfills your needs.

>>107050923
it does, but you can also use the fedora immutable distros instead since they're much more convenient. nixos requires you to learn an additional abstraction layer. for example, if you want to configure some program you need to translate it's configs to a nix config. while on fedora you're just using a different package manager. that is, unless you want to build a fully custom image in which case you just need to learn yaml which is an industry standard unlike nix config.

>>107051059
i see. i'll give silverblue a try in a vm later today.

>>107051109
>thoughts on immutable distros?
I'm not seeing any difference compared to regular distros outside of "updates require a reboot to apply" which I don't mind at all since I update once every few weeks or months. but maybe that's a thing exclusive to immutable distros using rpm-ostree or systemd, I don't recall how it was on nix.
either way fedora immutable distros have been an overall more stable experience than any other non-immutable distros I've used.

>idk about personal use
on my personal computer I just had to install adb and virt-manager with rpm-ostree while everything else is usable as a flatpak or appimage. you can also use distrobox to spawn containers of other distributions and run something like .deb packages even, but I honestly haven't found a use for this yet outside my work machine (which is also on an immutable distro).

just keep in mind that fedora's silverblue doesn't come with proprietary drivers and non-free codecs so you'd either have to build your own image of it or just use bluefin. same applies to kinoite=>aurora. but I don't think this is relevant if you only use flatpaks for browsers and media players and if you don't have an nvidia gpu.

Trying to find a good reason to stay on Linux. I'm really really, stretching my hand out here and trying to find reasons to stay on Linux. But the community + nothing works + compatibility issues is really telling me it's not worth it.

I installed Linux and I don't want to be constantly deleting an OS and then installing another; I don't want to be constantly wasting time.

The only thing in favor of Linux is privacy and bloat ware, which both can be fixed by windows debloating and I haven't seen any problems for it. Sure, I hear autists here saying some obscure bullshit that no one understands is telling you that windows is still spying on you, but the fact that you can't prove it makes me think you are just gaslighting.

Why are you using shields up if you don't understand what any of it means? There is nothing to do with that information. What ports are open, whose box is it probing? You provided none of that information. Is it even yours? Do you have a firewall such as ufw?
There's nothing here!

I'm gonna ask this maybe: Nemo's is basically the file explorer in Linux mint right?

Can't I just put a hash option in it so if I right click a file or folder, it gives me the hash of the file or the entire folder?

>>107051267
Nemo is one of them. There's many file managers, usually coming from DE suites. Like how Nemo comes from Cinnamon, which is Mint's main DE.

>>107051242
No, what you're doing here is constructing an extremely contrived use case that has to be satisfied in a very specific way that only you know and which you constantly change behind the scenes as it's satisfied in ways that are too uncomfortably close to what you initially described.

>>107051267
Can you? Yes. Do you have the required skill level or the desire to learn how to do it? Probably not.

>>107051276
Yes, I'm using Linux mint and cinnamon. And I suppose this file explorer is Nemo.

I don't like the console. I want to do things with a GUI as much as possible. I'm more visual and I don't remember every command line I don't remember how every program is exactly named and I don't want to be constantly using the console. I want a GUI option integrated in Nemo for hashes like sha256.

should I stick with bash or switch to zsh? zsh seems straight up superior but I'm not sure the benefits are worth the (possible?) headache

This answer is why Linux desktop will never, ever, be the standard.

I just bought a 3090 to do AI shit. Also have a 6750XT. Is nvidia on linux still gay? Last I remember I just installed the proprietary driver and it worked fine. Also interested in doing AI shit in linux potentially if it's better for some reason.

>>107051290
Nobody cares. You probably don't know how to do that in Windows either, even though you can.

>>107051308
I mean yeah plenty of people care, half of the Linux posts its cope and crying because no one uses Linux and the big companies and workers don't want to use Linux despite it "being a lot better than windows".

That kind of attitude, where the user is always wrong, offering no GUI solutions and expecting the user to learn a thousand command lines for a specific distrl and waste hours to install something simple, it's why almost no one switches to Linux.

You are autists incapable of seeing your own reflection.

>>107051323
No, I just don't care about what OS you use. You aren't important to me. I don't even know you. The fact that you think people care about what OS you use is fucking weird and autistic in and of itself.
Who made you the main character?

>>107051338
No is not, this is precisely the kind of autism that makes people not use linux. I don't give a fuck about you, I just want an OS that works, while you are getting all offended because you have made Linux part of your personality and seeing all ad an ego game.

directory, folder; no big difference.

>>107051652
I liked it, updating and managing software on it was much easier than on my Arch KDE setup and it had what seemed like a pretty nice default setup. The only issues I came across were with my old nvidia graphics card that is shit with nouveau and isn't supported by open kernel modules.
That's based on my minimal use of it, though. Someone I know who was a long time Fedora user hates it. I'm not entirely sure why.

I haven't had any problems with Arch + KDE, so maybe there's some stuff that Fedora does which suck. Probably impossible to tell for sure if you don't use it long term and I'd never.

>>107051659
That's not the point. Folders/directories are just references/links, they don't have a hash. To create a hash of one you need to zip it into an archive or get the hash of all files within it.

>>107051652
Linux has vastly improved over the past 6 years alone.
>any opinions on fedora plasma a setup for a windows fag?
It's fine, but you should instead go for something like Aurora or Nobara. Fedora itself doesn't ship proprietary drivers or non-free codecs so a lot of media/gaming stuff is shit on it.

There's a seemingly overly harsh warning about adding repos to Debian, mainly to do with third parties adding collisions to their repo or the testing repo replacing your other shit and fucking everything up. But temporarily adding an old repo to use Python 2.7 should be safe, yes?
