it's shit. i tried it hoping for muh-extra-stability-but-not-outdated-af-as-leap. and it kept fucking up my tiling wm session because of some broken-ass kitty or hyprland package. rolling-release or stable. don't do halfway, it's shit.

Im having issues with waybar

my power-profiles-daemon icon is disappearing but only when hyprland/window module is used and has windows showing (in text)
ive tried moving the power-profiles module and it behaves the same.
removing hyprland/window module fixes the issue. this started a few days ago

the module looks like this:


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


anyone knows whats up?

onus is you niggers to prove Rust is significantly more vulnerable than C/C++, and you know it's not, therefore you avoid the actual point.

Does anyone here have experience getting linux to run on older apple handhelds? I've heard gentoo plays nice with apple hardware and it's not a deal breaker if it has to go there.

pick a fucking lane. eventually people will announce they use C# and Java and *not* get called jeets. I recall when those were the jeet languages and Python was the white man's language. and at some point Rust was the white man's language or at least the troon's language (i.e. inherently white but ghey). and now even Rust is jeet.

Im looking for a window manager if someone knows the name thatd be great
its similar to powertools (as in microsoft windows) in that you can split off new windows into preconfigured sizes and easily allocated space (ie snap on or off)
you can also do a cool thing of merging numerous windows, and then resizing them simultaneously as one big window, but they're still partitioned off from one another

Yes! There are several reliable methods to backup and restore your installed packages in Linux Mint. Let me show you how to do this effectively.

# Transfer package_list.txt to new system

>>107177441
auto updates are on by default, it's only supported on Ubuntu (and those downstream of Ubuntu), flatpaks already exist. There's also a hilarious amount of disk space overhead for running snaps that makes flatpak's engorging look mild.
The only real upside of snaps is you can run CLI tools with snap. You can't with flatpak.

they're fine but sometimes have bugs that the same program on other formats wouldn't have. they're pretty convenient on Ubuntu but it doesn't exclusively package anything I really need so I don't really use it outside Ubuntu.

Most rust devs (and their managers up to the C-level) believe that the rust compiler magically protects them from bugs so they don’t have to test anything. Money saved!!!! We’re just seeing the very tip of this iceberg.

I will never use wayland. Linux works fine. Also debian+XFCE is all you need.

They actually did take care to not repeat many past mistakes. If you look at their commits they often reference many past sudo CVEs and program defensively. They're still only human though.

>>107180718
I didn't say anything political though.

These are just my experiences with linux over years. Literally anything other than debian+XFCE with a custom setup script doesn't work for real OS daily use and its one of the reason why linux wont ever be massively popular IMO.

Thunar is just that good, xarchiver is just that good, XFCE is just that good and I have not found a single DE or TWM that can beat it.

Yes I've tried all the beginner distros like mint they are all slow or not good enough for my use as a game dev.

Cinnamon is really slow and nemo is the worst file manager on linux. Thunar is instant and loads folders with thousands of files instantly. It just werks

In a perfect world my perfect desktop would be

>debian
>XFCE with its stuff like thunar, xarchiver
>X11
>pipewire

>adwaita-dark default

That's literally what I'm using now minus the mint updater and mint store, that's the perfect linux desktop right there.

>>107180795

>program defensively
What retardation is this? You program defensively by not trying to deliver what you can't verify. How many CVEs does doas have on OpenBSD? Zero.

>>107180847
Doas is also missing half of the features sudo has. It's debatable whether or not they're needed but when you're writing a re-implementation of sudo you kind of have to have them even though sudo-rs does omit several features, the core is still there.

Is it normal for linux to hang for a couple seconds, unresponsive, when clicking to the desktop?

You might be right about that but i'm not sure that in this instance it is x11 at fault. It should work. I got it partially working but i ended up fucking around with the kernel and drives and i had to use a backup restore because I couldn't boot up again. i've tried everything man. Fuck

did anybody here have issues booting a computer with only a AMD APU, no dedicated GPU and no monitor connected? I had the boot lock up sometimes but simply rebooting with a monitor connected would fix it for a bit.

So in Windows if you delete two files of the same name it's not possible or much harder to restore them. How is it in Linux? Just curious.

Never heard of that actually. On Linux the files don't contain their name, it's a separate thing stored in directories

I'm loosing my mind. Please someone give me a direction on where I should seek answers.
>Problem
I can't install any distribution on my SSD because the SSD can't be detected. I tested some distributions in their older versions and the SSD was detected just fine. After doing some testing and research I noticed that every distribution that includes Kernel version 6.9 and beyond, can't detect my SSD.
I stumbled upon this post: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=296463 and this guy seems to have the same problem as me because and I have the same SSD.
I tried he's solution (set the power management policy to max_performance) in the live distribution I'm trying to install but it still cannot be detected. Is there a kernel forum or chat where I can have a productive discussion for my problem? I don't expect anyone here to help me here because I have never taken any answers when I asked for help.

>>107181284
Tried to find a sane replacement for mspaint but seems like there isn't one.
There's all sorts of image editors but they are either too heavy for simple tasks or just plain retarded. All of them.
Ended up using 'swappy' but that's for annotating screenshots though.

I've been having a weird issue the past week. I run Kubuntu Mininal and it's been great for the month that I used it. However after my first major update and downloading a KDE theme I've started to have apps randomly lock up that needs to be xkilled. How do I figure out what the culprit is? My specs are
AMD Radeon 9060 XT

>>107180847
Doas will always be inferior for me for the simple reason that there is no equivalent of sudoedit. The only way to edit a file with root permissions with doas is the open the editor as root, which comes with its own security issues.

>>107182692
Then xkill isn't going to do anything 90% of the time unless you're using Wayland as a giant shell for X11 apps in which case the problem is probably the app that's causing your system to freeze.

>>107182717

How do I add new themes to KDE/rice it in general? The built in theme downloader doesn't have a lot. I'm running it on top of cachyos if that matters

>>107183380
been using it since 2014, and while i wouldn't have recommended it then, it's been solid for a long time. anyone calling it unstable today are either looking at the raid5/6 support and applying that to the rest of the filesystem, or they're just going off decade-old news

>>107183456
For a better integration on kde, the best option you have is that build in downloader, but you could try creating a .themes folder in your home, move the theme there and see if you can apply on customisation.
i know that icons still work this way.

My gpu is too new for Mint. What's another distro that just werx and you can set it and forget it?

>>107183456
go to the actual site (store.kde.org) if you wanna see more themes, i noticed the built-in downloader only lists one page out of many

kernel 6.6+ has corked power management for mobile amd apus and mobile amd discrete graphics.
An rx 6600 performs like ass because it defaults to vbios power settings...
I went back to windows 11 because linux was eating my asshole out with its tongue. Integrated graphics on linux performs like ass.

I really like it, but i want something both fast and supported. Why do people keep shilling bazzite for gaming? It was complete ass for me... I had to roll back to a fedora 42 base because bazzite ships broken updates.

I only like gentoo and debian. Everything else is just buggy retoid fardshid. Debian doesnt eat my ass hole out. I recommend debian.

I am going to maybe dabble with postmarket os with bedrock linux ontop.

Why is the cursor a transparent box on Gnome? Am I carrying some old junk with my home directory that's causing this? Didn't try on a fresh user yet.

>>107184669
It is because JewTube keeps changing their script faster than yt-dlp devs can update their stupidly complex ReGex so now they have an alternative JavaScript solver that's only used for YouTube (it's completely optional if you only download from other sites although they may slowly migrate other sites over to it too).

TLDR; It's more maintainable for the devs that used to have to drop absolutely everything they were doing to updating that ReGex whenever they'd change something for no reason.

>>107185279
Also the reason they use Deno by default (other runtimes do work too like Nodejs) is because it's completely sandboxed so has no filesystem or network access. In theory this means that in the unlikely event JewTube tried to access your system while yt-dlp is evaluating code it wouldn't work.

>>107185279
It's 110MB... Why? This trash is an Electron app? I checked the github and it has soooo many problems I doubt it will work. I be this trash will make yt-dlp unstable with all the problems I see on their Github.

>>107185348
It's not ReGex so can interpret the script on the YouTube page like your browser did. Basically that's the only reason they're doing it. It brings yt-dlp slowly into the realm of actually being able to solve JavaScript based challenges properly without ugly hacks.

>>107185372
Also they do note that they could just use an actual headless browser for this but that would be even heavier again and an admission of defeat. This JavaScript runtime support is a middle ground that keeps things working whilst being more maintainable for the people maintaining the back ends.

>>107185372
>TLDR; It's more maintainable for the devs that used to have to drop absolutely everything they were doing to updating that ReGex whenever they'd change something for no reason.
Seems to me they are just getting lazy and are looking to do less work.

>>107185414
They're looking to do more maintainable work that scales. ReGex is a pattern matcher that can't actually understand the context of the code on the page so they essentially have to cancel everything they were doing for the day to reverse engineer the solver and then update things. Now they can just run the actual JavaScript solver like your browser would and be done with it.

>>107185279
>>107185372

Stop that. They're (R)egular (E)xpressions, on no planet does it make sense to shorten it to "ReGex".

I use ext4, never tried btrfs but I heard it can have issues. I haven't had problems with ext4 so I don't really have a reason to try btrfs

>>107186575
ext4 ignores and papers over hardware fuckups, where btrfs locks itself read-only and refuses to kludge the fs back into valid format. Of course people have more 'issues' with btrfs.

>>107187042
They would have those issues with ext4 too they just don't know about it because nothing is telling them. BTRFS even goes so far as to lock-itself read-only when the hardware is perfectly fine but you ran out of disk space. This is good because it prevents accidentally trashing the filesystem. You can still always re-mount it read-write again but it forces you to address the problem instead of ignoring the fact.

It works exactly the same. Unless you need to use a program that absolutely requieres systemd, there shouldn't be any problems. You might need to install a separate package for some programs (e.g. cronie, cronie-dinit), but installing and activating it is an easy process.

This is only useful if you're a distribution. As an end-user of a single-user desktop who compiles their own desktop then you can compile your own kernel, embed any custom initrd you need inside of it and secure boot sign the whole thing with manual keys enrolled for the machine and of course the Windows keys, etc, removed.

For distributions it's not practical to do that.

Lunduke is a gay trust fund kid and his viewers are non-programming pol brainrot spastics. I subscribed to that idiot for like 6 months b/c he looks like he does real journalism, and he does, but it's all on the most retarded bear bull political drama you can imagine. If Lunduke is talking about it, there's a 100% chance it doesn't fucking matter.

KDE is pretty great, isn't it?

Some KDE issues, I'm using Kubuntu btw
>the "spawn windows centered on screen" option from KDE doesn't seem to work under Xorg, only for Wayland,
>brightness slider doesn't work under Xorg either
>items in clipboard stay there forever, no option for automatic removal
The last one bothers me because passwords managers that clean the clipboard after a certain amount of time don't work because of it. Not only that but it seems even after manual cleanup entries are stored at ~/.local/share/klipper, why?

>>107195059
Monitors have had that ability for decades... blame the microjeets for not leveraging it.

My first experience when I switched over from W11 to Loonix after XX years was
>Arch, think that I want KDE
>I have trouble middle click pasting from gui text editor to vim
>have trouble copy pasting text from browser to text editor
>nested settings page
Okay, I went on forward.
Ended up with Xfce4 and Fedora 43. Don't have any problem with pasting whatsoever, jesus christ.

>>107195378
Yes I know about .vimrc and .screenrc but the initial KDE experience was so bad that I won't go back.
Maybe it was because Arch is minimal and I ddin't configure something but I don't think so, it's just Unix system. Middle click paste, normal business.

Haha I get it

What so bad about KDE?
Your clipboard issue is just Vim being crap and not supporting the Wayland clipboard. Neovim has had that for ages:

As someone who primarily plays vidya on their computer and as a result uses xwayland a lot, would I even benefit from installing xwayland-satellite? From my understanding, all it does is put xwayland windows into their own individual x11 session instead of using one universal x11 session

Now that Valve announced the steam machine, what's the deal with immutable distros like SteamOS? They claim you can use it as a desktop, but can you really?

Is it like NixOS in a way?

>>107196215
wine 10.x uses wayland by default

>>107196603
steam does not care yet
