Is there an easy way to setup firewalld (using firewall-config) to block or allow requests on software basis?
I'd only allow librewolf, steam and system package manager to connect outside.
At this point I don't like the idea of freely allowing freeware software to run on my machine and not blocking their internet access.
For example Bottle connects outside whenever it starts up.. And so does other software.

you can use some flatpak meme to cut bottles from internet (and put a bunch of other restrictions)
but yea, firewall is probably better if it automatically rejects everything
>>
>>107158566
This. Reading the manual is piss easy now. They have actual web page manuals and LLMs to spoon feed you. In my day you had to deal with gnutards crippling man pages on purpose to get you to interact with their fuckawful emacs themed info browser, and what they had there was merely unreadable instead of incomplete.
>>
>>107158617
I'm going to answer my own question: firewalld cannot be configured on per software basis like Windows firewalls. For this I'd need to use something like OpenSnitch.
After using Windows for so many years I just don't simply trust that some tranny programmed 'freeware' will just not connect to internet without my permission. Just because I'm using Linux doesn't mean I should blindly trust each and every software I'm using...

i try to pick the best tool for the job. i figure let the GPU render into GPU widgets, and let something like x11 render a simple button instead of xfering an image of the button across the network.
>>
>>107158727
Yes, the draw commands are very much better for doing that over a network. No modern app works like that though, they all do the "composite the image into a buffer and transfer that over the network" thing which is why X11 Forwarding is essentially unusable with the vast majority of apps nowadays, it's a slideshow, it simply wasn't designed for that and there are many better protocols.

Spent some time on the streets last year, and decided to get a laptop and try linux because it's supposed to be good on weak machines. Having a personal computer I could use at the library/cafes helped me keep my humanity and I didn't have to miss out on having fun with a computer even with no/low funds. Life's gotten better, and I can't say I owe linux for that, but it certainly helped me keep my chin up. Cheers! Please take this Compaq pape as tribute.

That's right. I double-checked and it looks like the problem was that the drive was set to the DOS disklabel by default and I overlooked setting it to GPT the first time. It's a good learning experience for sure.

Anyone good with udev? is it possibly to plug a USB into my machine and have rules that rsync all my keys(ssh, gpg) to it from my home folder, or can udev invoke a script to do it? i imagine udev could ID it by a part-UUID and mfg information,

Are Vim or its forks worth learning if I like using Nano? I'm getting ready to start teaching myself to program. Emacs is tempting, but a little intimidating.
>>
>>107159523
Not really. CLI editor preference is 99% smugness. Learn how to do basic shit in vim like saving files and quitting vim, but unless you're a sysadmin for your real boy job there's no point.
>>
>>107159523
i dont know about nano but vim has some neat bells and whistles which when you discover you realize you didnt know you needed
the joining lines keybinding alone saved me probably hours of work already
the . keybinding as well
random ass encryption feature that it has out of nowhere
terminal integration
it even has goddamn autocomplete by default

its also infinitely easier to use on mobile
other editors are unusable compared to vim
you have plugins to turn it into IDE

other than that tiling WM and/or tmux + nano is a nice combo
>>
>>107159548
i learned vim in the intro cs courses in college, and still use it to this day
>>
How do you get "custom" apps to launch on WindowMaker (i.e. Steam and Discord) when there isn't an app to drag to the dock?
>>
>>107159684
iirc you need to bring up the window settings or whatever they're called and tell it to force an icon or something
>>
>>107159523
Vim is good to know for a lot, but don't make a project of learning it. Just use it and pick up things as you go. Keep a cheat sheet somewhere and pick up a new motion every week or so. Total waste of time to pretend to learn it.
>>
>>107159579
I use vim too but for programming, I have never learned how to use it properly. I'm just too slow with it unless editing some config files.
>>
>>107159815
Insert
Visual Block
E/B navigation
You can press Ctrl+[ instead of Escape
:wq
:q!
r! echo some-command-that-will-be-dumped-into-the-document

That's all you need to know about Vim.
>>
>>107159832
Yeah I know all of these. I'm talking about editing multiple files at the same time and picking stuff from other file stuff like that.
>>
>>107159832
Thing is, for 99.99% of Linux users, nano will perform equally well, and every distro worth using will have both in their repos.
>>
>>107159842
You can switch buffers with:
:b1, :b2, etc
You can close a buffer with :bd
You yank select text with y and paste it with p

>>107159851
If you just learn these basics of Vim then you'll still be flying even though you don't know everything. I'm not a Vim expert and would still use it over Nano any day.
>>
>>107159842
not him but you do that with :tabnew
vim -p for opening multiple files from CLI
gt to the next tab
gT to the prev
i trust it you know how to yank shit by now
thats basically it with multible files
>>
>>107159859
when you're editing a config file, ease of use matters more than how fast you can save the file.
>>
>>107159969
And Vim is very easy to use if you learn those basics.
>>
>>107160017
nano is even easier though and doesn't require *any* learning.
>>
>>107160021
For simple edits, yes. For more complicated edits absolutely not.

>>107160021
It doesn't require any learning because you don't actually use it as an editor. You use zero of its features except type, move with arrow keys and save. This is the most clunky interaction ever compared to Vim, especially if you need to edit a lot of things at once.

How do you for example do multiple cursors in Nano so you can edit multiple lines at once?
>>
>>107158647
assuming you're talking about networked x11, if you design your gui to be drawn with x11 primitives then it will be much faster, that's how x11 was originally designed, for remote viewing
modern toolkits instead render everything themselves and only hand off the finished bitmap to x11 (or wayland), which sucks over networked x11
>>
>>107160030
usecase for editing multiple lines at once that isn't just an overcomplicated search and replace?
>>
>>107160077
Appending a comma to multiple lines or inserting a dash/hyphen at the beginning of multiple lines for a YAML list.

Do you even edit config files?
>>
>>107160124
Write your config files properly the first time, why the fuck are you having to insert dashes by hand?
>>
>>107160177
>t y p e o u t e v e r y c h a r a c t e r b y h a n d s l o w l y
If you used Vim that would be way more efficient
>>
>>107160183
type faster faggot
>>
>>107160207
Yes, type all of those commas and dashes by hand when you have a pre-made list you pasted into the file from elsewhere and need to format it appropriately. That's going to take you all day.

Nano is a toy for people that use it as a typewriter rather than an editor, even things like Micro are better than it if you're stuck on being too retarded for a modal editor but still want something better.

Lmao, at this point I'm convinced nobody is using GNOME. When similar shit happens on KDE after major update it gets fixed in next 2 minor updates
>>
>>107160224
Again, why aren't you generating these config files with a script? Why are you typing these out by hand like an intern?
>>
>>107160233
Writing a script to do that takes longer than just doing it in Vim but I guess that's good job security for you if you're bored.
>>
>>107160238
You've clearly had to write yaml configs more than 1 time, which means writing a script would have saved you time after the first one.
>>
>>107160239
I've had to do it many times in fact. You clearly haven't. People that actually edit config files need features like multiple cursors. It's why every editor apart from Nano has it.

Writing a script for something that should take 5 minutes at most is not the answer.
>>
>>107160253
This is what I was talking about earlier. People who use vim constantly have to justify that they spent the time to learn vim instead of just using nano, so they invent scenarios that don't need to happen to justify their usage of vim.
Nobody cares what editor you use besides yourself, man.
>>
>>107160253
Also, if you do write a script you're going to need a good editor to write the script in anyway otherwise you'll be in a recursive loop of editing your script to workaround Nano being shit in Nano but realising Nano is still shit so you need to write a script in Nano for your script your editing in Nano.
>>
>>107160268
What is the scenario for a typewriter?
>>
>>107160275
Usecase for caring what text editor people use?
>>
>>107160284
I genuinely don't care. This whole chain started because you said Nano was easier to use. I agreed with you that yes, in the simple case it probably is easier.

There are better editors that people that edit config files actually use though.
>>
>>107160298
just use KWrite kappa
>>
>>107160312
Kate is better. I do use that sometimes for when I don't feel like sitting in the terminal.
>>
>>107160320
I have this alias anyone can pinch if they want:
$ alias sukate
sukate='env SUDO_EDITOR='\''kate -b -n'\'' sudoedit '


So I can do something like:
sukate /etc/hosts
to edit the hosts files using sudoedit.
>>
>>107160336
in my experience, when using Kate or other GUI editors to edit system files, if I don't have permission to save, it'll just ask me for my password to save it. No need to faff about with sudoedit.
>>
>>107160355
That requires the Kio Admin plugin which not every system will have (I don't have that installed on my system):
https://invent.kde.org/system/kio-admin

If you already have sudo auth'd in your terminal (because the cookie is valid) then this alias will also never ask for permission, it'll just write out the edits once you've finished saving it.
>>
>>107160367
sudoedit should also in theory work with Flatpak Kate, or any other editor too because it never requires that the editor itself have root privileges. It's a pretty neat tool in sudos toolbox.
>>
>>107160367
not having kio-admin installed is definitely a choice.
Like sure it's your system but also: why?
>>
>>107160480
It's questionable what value it provides for the higher attack surface.
https://security.opensuse.org/2025/02/21/kio-admin-admittance.html
>>
>>107160490
Fair, but the article even admits the potential for exploits is low.

LXQt 2.3 is dropping soon on Arch, has more complete cross-compositor Wayland support and many improvements
>>
>>107163016
ext4 is mostly legacy. It has nicer UX for people coming from Mac / Windows because you can paper over hardware fuckups with fsck and keep working. Traditional Unix filesystems treat corruption as a serious matter where you should backup and reformat and didn't go through great pains to repair the existing filesystem.

btrfs has really high CPU overhead for fast storage. xfs and ext4 have basically equivalent performance. Certain workloads may favor one or the other, but for general use xfs having reflink is an overwhelming advantage.

Nice. LXQt has been my daily driver for at least a year now, and I like it. I'm only on LXQt 1.4 (which of course doesn't use Wayland) on Ubuntu. Perhaps I should install Debian 13 which has LXQt 2.1, or I could wait for Ubuntu 26.04 LTS which will probably have at least LXQt 2.3 I would imagine.

Are there any actual reasons to not use systemd? I think people say things like "it's too big which means it has a big attack surface for vulnerabilities".

It's tricky because for a font to truly work everything in the UI should be unified across applications. In linux this is impossible due to gtk, qt, flatpaks, window managers and whatever else.

PHP just werks. It was what most people used back then and it's still what most people use today. It's not a sexy a language though so doesn't get any plaudits but when you look at things like Wordpress which is probably the most successful piece of web software ever, it's everywhere.

Same. I would assume this is more common than /efi which isn't even in the filesystem hierarchy specification: https://specifications.freedesktop.org/fhs/latest/index.html

/boot/efi is probably the most common given distros insist on having a separate partition for /boot still so therefore mount the ESP inside of that.

That's only because Wordpress uses it. So it's not even being directly used in many cases. It's just what powers the most popular CMS where people just drag images and text into.
>>

>>
>>107171225
shouldn't be possible given you don't use root
>>
>>107171225
The default grub timer is usually anywhere from 1-10 seconds. It goes up in the following cases:
>your system was forcefully powered off during the previous boot process (power loss, manually holding the power button, clicking the power button while in the grub menu)
>you had a crash related to grub itself
>you updated your OS and grub got updated
>you updated your grub config
The intent is to give you enough time to recover in the rare case where a system update or a grub reconfiguration causes an unbootable system. Since 1-10 seconds is sometimes too short for people to interact with the keyboard and pause the timer.

Since you haven't updated but did tinker around, I assume you updated something related to your bootloader or you powered off your computer in a non-graceful way. So, you're fine.

You should look up ext4 on Wikipedia.

I don't need to change any drivers if I'm downgrading my RX5700xt to a RX580 on Mint, right?

>/efi which isn't even in the filesystem hierarchy specification
That "specification" is 5 days old within FDo and it specifies a 40 year old state of affairs, EFI and Linux didn't exist then.
The specification for a Linux filesystem is here: https://uapi-group.org/specifications/specs/linux_file_system_hierarchy/
>>
>>107172056
5 days old and they saw no need to include /efi? Maybe because it's not widely used?

IIRC 1.4 doesn't have fancymenu, so you're stuck with mainmenu which is very primitive. Plus that's the Qt5 version (EOL) and like a hundred deficiencies were resolved since. If I were you I'd get on non-LTS Ubuntu releases, I compile from git but I think 25.10 has 2.2.

Linux would be perfect if it had the superior NTFS, perfect for video storage and mogs btrfs/zfs and ext4. The MFT and Everything is GOAT:d
>>
>>107172343
you don't even need to be running linux to hang here. i still enjoy helping people in the windows thread even though it hasn't been my main os in 15 years
>>
>>107172034
Of course not. They all use the same AMDGPU kernel driver and the same RADV on top of that.
As long as you have the necessary firmware files installed. I don't know how it is on Mint, but on Gentoo you'd have to manually install firmware. I guess Mint has all the firmware files installed by default.

desu ive yet to run into a situation where i absolutely NEED a file explorer
closest i can think of is an upload dialogue for posting dumb ass images to this website

>>107172989
i like going into my smb share and browse file tree, see icons for photos and videos, maybe it's my windows brain but i also use the Win11 cut, copy, and paste icons in Explorer also

>>107172998
i like the lack of clutter in CLI
easier to just look through it, also since its all text from stdout you can manipulate it however you want

one thing that i will give to file managers copying a SINGLE file is much easier with systems clipboard
at least by default
tho this is solvable with a simple script
kinda like the one i have that recursively cd's into directories so now i can get to whatever i want much faster and more convenient compared to a filemanager
i dont think i can make it more convenient or faster but at least i will match it somewhat
>>
>>107172701
If you've already used Fedora Silverblue or Bluefin it's no different than those other than being an actually secure distro.

after messing around a bit with debian + xfce live, i run into a strange bug, after a while i cant resize firefox with the mouse. it only happens with firefox.

does anyone runs xfce debian on bare metal here? does the bug happens with you, or thats just a live bug.

whatsup boys
im having some issues with waybar / hyprland
im running latest arch

the rightmost icon is disappearing whenever i dont have any windows open, or changes to a virtual desktop with no windows.
The icon to the right is displaying my current power pland and when i click it it changes it.
theres still an invisible "button" to press when its not showing, its just the icon that is removed.
Ive tried changing fonts from nerdfonts to fontawesome in the waybar css but it doesnt make a difference. something has happened the last few days i havent had this problem before. anyone know what kind of weird bug this is and how to fix it?

they also did some stupid things with nvidia driviers and Bluetooth modules and they haven't fixed anything yet.
>>
Does anyone know what is the delay with goyvidia drivers for Fedora 43? It's been over a week and rpm fusion still doesn't have the latest driver.
But god forbid if it was 0.001 daily update to kernel I would need to build akmods every three days

Not the kernel's problem

post config so there's a chance someone can help
also check the debug logs

>>107175319
nah the issue is these clowns might not be real
ive read some rumors, plus this shit is just way too ridiculous
if they ARE real they should never touch a goddamn computer ever again
if you call yourself an "OS dev" for example and you dont know what kernel space and user space is or how threads work you should just fucking kill yourself

ahh, that is probably it, he is promoting his website too. also took a major interest in the piratesoftware drama to springboard himself
>>
>>107175352
i can post the config but theres so much shit there
so the issue seems to be hyprland/window thats next to it, when i remove that module it works. when the module has no window to show it removes the icon for some reason.
the module looks like this:

"hyprland/window": {
"format": "{}",
"on-click": "wofi --show drun"

thats fine, tho i guess this can count as a point towards his possible motivations for faking
if hes faking this shit that is the cringe part

he does *feel* sketchy to me, just something is off about him, cant really tell what it is

i might try the ms fonts. also afaik, the FREETYPE_PROPERTIES settings I mentioned earlier ITT have made a difference.
default settings in linux tend to be ass and unoptimized in terms of UX, this isn't new.
Big DEs either have this stuff built-in or they don't even bother because no one pushes for it to be made the default.
One thing I'll say about Microshit after going cold turkey Arch Linux/Wayland/Sway is it's good to have a lot of people complaining, you can really see that's how Microshit got good UX eventually. people just kept complaining.
>>107166706
see what I mentioned about freetype properties.
it's not that hard to get a good default going once you know where to change things.
at least now it feels like standards are being followed, even though standards may not be implemented by default (and you have to fuck around with config files)

Could anyone explain to me the differences between the packages "plasma, plasma-desktop, plasma-meta" on Arch? I'm trying to install it manually. I'm using the "minimal" option from the Kubuntu installer as reference, which comes with the mere basics but works out of the box.
>>
>>107175695
you should only ever need to install one of those (that brings in the rest). idk if this is the meta package or not. usually i'm good with installing the simplest named one and it does the rest. so install "plasma".
>>
>>107175720
>>107175720
>>107175720
>>
>>107175695
plasma is a package group, it acts like you manually typed in every package name
plasma-meta is a meta package which is just a tiny package that has all the KDE components depending on it. archinstall defaults to this one and it's probably better in the long run if you want to pull it out.
