All of the projects you've just listed are "infected" by the far left.

Arch is probably the most popular distro among gays and trans and many of it's prominent community members are pro-trans.
The main contributors of X11 were the same corpos and core individuals who are currently contributing to Wayland. And the leader of Xfce is pretty much employed by IBM/RedHat.

I guess the only thing that's "safe" in your list would be GNU coreutils. They're not necessarily made by the modern far left ideologues, but they are made in response against the fundamentally right wing idea of "corporations should not be regulated". FSF even uses the term "Copyleft" as their alternative to "Copyright".

Think systemd is jewish/communist/racist/<insert your boogeyman here>? no problem, just do sudo apt install sysvinit/open-rc/runit/etc... or install devuan, artix, antix, etc...
Think GNU coreutils are too bloated? use busybox

>>107261520
how
and i just learned that i should turn off one of my monitors if it ever happens again

>>107261412
Well, try disabling the splash screen and enabling plymouth logging so you can actually see what happens in the background when your system boots. I suspect it's some kind of systemd fuckery where some service gets stuck and doesn't start and forces the whole system to wait, I've actually had this happen on me before. The solution would then be to disable the offending systemd service.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Plymouth
If you already have plymouth installed then all you need to do is open /etc/default/grub and modify this line

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="loglevel=3"

and make sure there is no "splash" option in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX
Now you should see boot messages and what services start or get stuck the next time you reboot

>>107261545
im scared of removing splash on /boot/loader/entries/linux-cachyos.conf or i will never boot to my OS. don't trick me

>>107261622
>/boot/loader/entries/linux-cachyos.conf
Is that how cachyos handles system configs? or is this what /etc/default/grub is symlinked to?
In any case, I assure you, all you need to do is remove the "splash" option from /etc/default/grub, the "loglevel=3" was kinda optional.
It's just one line in a single file, you can't possibly fuck this up?

If you're really scared, then backup that file, then if your system doesn't start (extremely unlikely, but sometimes noobs manage to fuck up even the simplest things somehow) you can enter the system terminal with Ctrl+Alt+F3 and move the backed up file to where it was (you do know how to do that, right?

is systemd really that bad? should i switch from mint to a non systemd distro like devuan?

>>107261768
Devuan user here, it really depends, if you're okay with mint then you should stay on it. Stepping out of the systemd comfort zone requires you to familiarize yourself with other init systems, and it will be painful at first. Using devaun made realize why systemd exists, it's because sysvinit is a dogshit init system, yes it's way less lines of code than systemd but it's really a pain if you want to configure/manage services with it. Well at least OpenRC exists which makes sysvinit easier to use. There's also runit but I've never tried it. Also I used to rely on systemd-resolved as my DNS cacher/resolver, after moving to Devuan I used unbound, it was another pain to figure how to set up but managed to make work in the end. Oh yeah and you also have to start pipewire manually or configure it to autostart with your DE/window manager (consult the gentoo wiki for more info on this).

All in all, if you're not prepared for a lot of tinkering then you should not use a non-systemd distro.

>>107261768
You should try Devuan to learn how deranged systemd haters are.

It's been noted as a notorious PITA for VM, to where even the wiki has to make step-by-step instructions for VM applications ('Box, VMWare, etc.) due to it. I doubt the installation script/hook is the major reason for that and more that Arch sucks for VMing.

Can't you just install Pacman on Debian and uninstall apt? It's just an application, after all. The bigger question would be: Would it play nice given these distros focus on one over the other, however?

>>107261916
Debian is what I've used for a long time (about 4 or 5 years) before switching to devuan and I'm very familiar with it, so the jump from debian to devuan wasn't really huge for me.
Some words of caution though: compared to Mint, debian packages are old. Even the latest stable debian doesn't have as new packages as Mint, although that varies from package to package. Otherwise if you don't mind old or outdated packages then debian is a very fine choice.
>i like the apt package manager

Ah, see, I've thought of that, the problem is that a package manager is useless on its own, a package manager needs a repository to fetch, download and install software from. And you can't just point pacman to the debian repositories because the .deb format is incompatible with pacman.

There's no such thing as "unix philosophy". It's always just been a theoretical software paradigm, but it cannot be achieved in practice unless you return to sticks and stones computing.
Case in point the web browser you currently use isn't composed of a modifiable JS engine, DOM rendering engine, image viewer engine, media player engine, password manager, etc. It's all a unified bundle.

>There's no such thing as "unix philosophy".
Yes there is. The unix philosophy is that you create a small/minimal program that does only ONE job and you make sure that its INPUTS and OUTPUTS can be used by other software without any problems. Do you know why there is so much bloated, shitty software nowadays? Because they try to create one program to do EVERYTHING instead of breaking it in small pieces/subprograms that you can add or remove to create your own Frankenstein.

You can get software that's pre-assembled for you the same way you can get a ready to use desktop environment. Now Image a desktop environment/OS, lets say windows for example, that you cannot remove the edge browser or some other thing because the whole system will crumble. Monolithic software has an expiration date, cannot be extended and it's pure cancer in general. You also lose a bunch of time in the process because when a problem occurs you cannot isolate that small problem and remove it. You have to rewrite the whole system from the ground up.

you need the 470 driver. not all distros still have it available since it's legacy and EOL. you also need to make sure you have 32 bit libraries installed (for any 32bit vidya, obviously). and no, it's not too terrible a card, just old.

using nvidia-470xx-dkms as suggested on the arch wiki

it works fine for gaming on windows, it's old but plays older games just fine

I'm on Linux Mint, and I have a 4070. I'm using Nvidia proprietary drivers.

I noticed an issue when playing games on windowed mode while having a browser and discord open on the side (I use a 4k TV as four 1080p monitors, essentially). When the browser is open and playing videos, or discord is open at all, at best, games will drop frames every second or so. At worst they become a stuttering mess.

I eventually narrowed down the issue: if I disable hardware acceleration on other applications like firefox and discord, all the performance issues while gaming with these other applications open go away. But why is this the case? Why does disabling hardware acceleration while gaming smooth out my framerate perfectly and completely? What does hardware acceleration even do on these other programs?

Why do you do this to yourself?

Sometimes Windows does some shit that requires me to do ntfsfix on the partition before mounting, I know how to fix that.
I usually open the partition through Dolphin because it's easier and it makes an automatic directory, however if it errors Dolphin refuses to try again.
I don't get it, I open in Dolphin it errors, I use ntfsfix and try mount it works, I go back to Dolphin and it gives the same error. Closing and reopening makes Dolphing rerequest my password but it still gives the error even though it shouldn't.
It's like it's caching the mount and instead of trying again it just errors because it errored the first time, wtf?

Is GPU encoding (VAAPI, amd gpu) just bad for hevc stuff?
I've been reencoding a bunch of older stuff I have for them HDD savings (crf 23 and slow preset) with very good results, but when I try VAAPI with -q 23 I get a _slightly_ lower quality encode with a larger filesize than the CPU encode; If I try -q 20 I get a near-identical quality picture but the filesize is larger than the original x264.

I've been trying to understand the quality options on the documentation but it just goes over my head.

Anyone here has ever gotten satisfactory results with vaapi?

>>107265403
>do ntfsfix
No. Wrong. You do not do ntfsfix ever. You're just setting the dirty bit clean without actually fixing the filesystem format error and then hitting the same error again. Boot into Windows and run chkdsk. Frequent filesystem errors are a likely indicator of hardware problems.

Why doesn't Linux have all the important system files in its own folder like Windows does? How hard would it be to make a distro that does this?

>>107255092
hello friendly linux users
i installed mint onto my laptop and then kind of didn't touch it until ~2 years later.
when i went to use it again and update/upgrade a few things, both the cli and gui tools for this either broke, or only gave me out of date software.
i'm no linux pro, so getting around this felt like a bit of a nightmare. this is the opposite of my experience with w10. For w10, the OS updates downloaded and installed themselves, and while the various applications i used required more manual clicking, etc, there were no issues.

tldr: after this experience, how do i justify keeping a linux-based OS on my laptop and not installing windows instead?

This weekend I believe is the time I will put linux on my DD from Win10.

I've used Mint a few times on laptops but not extensively. I think I've narrowed it down to Pop! and Mint.

Since I have little experience with Gnome or any of that, would I be better off getting the latest Pop! with Cosmic so I wouldn't have to relearn anything? Or go Mint, use Cinnamon for a while while i learn Linux, then switch to Pop! when it has a full release?

Use case is mostly browsing, steam, misc projects. Nothing like coding or heavy IT work.

>>107266632
Mint is extremely versatile. It has a rep as the baby's first distro but that's only because does everything the average desktop user needs or wants pretty much out of the box and Cinnamon has a layout like windows so it's very easy for newcomers to use. But you can do development, gaming and anything else with Mint. No real need to switch to any other distro unless there's something specific you want from a different package manager, or you want to get your hands dirty and get deeper into the internal of how Linux works. Personally I always recommend the xfce edition of mint, I've always found it even more stable than cinnamon, and cinnamon is pretty good.

>>107266603
Windows caters to the lowest common denominator user so it is packaged with every kind of bloat and hands-off training wheels features. Linux is for people more interested in computer tech and how it works, to greater or lesser degrees. So it's up to you which kind of person you are. No one needs to validate what OS you use, it's up to you.

>>107266584
>How hard would it be to make a distro that does this?
There actually exists such a distro!
It's called GoboLinux, but it's for advanced users so...

>>107266603
Use a distro that does that, like Fedora Atomic or Ublue. Mint is stuck in the Windows XP/7 era, which is not a bad thing if that's what you want.

Just curious, but how is Linux more secure than Windows if there exists hardware backdoors such as the Intel Management Engine? It appears that Linux is only good for performance.

Just for clarity -
I don't necessarily care about the updates being automatic or not, but i do want all the update tools to work and provide the most up to date versions after a long period of time.

>Is something like Fedora Atomic or Ublue good for this specific issue?
Yes, it's literally impossible to fail an update on those as they do not touch a live system. The entire OS image is swapped on reboot.

There's more to operating systems than the hardware they run on or performance gains.

If freedom itself isn't appealing to you then I don't know what to say.

Don't ever take /g/'s opinion on anything at face value, anons like to shitpost. Personally I don't like Pop, but I have to give their team credit for making Gnome less shit. It's fine if you use a laptop, or if you want a "MacOS like" type of experience. As you mentioned, going with Mint (Cinnamon/Xfce) until you figure out what you actually want seems like a more sane option, I myself used Cinnamon for years and consider it a good desktop environment, although it might feel a bit outaded at times. Nothing wrong with staying there either, but if you ever feel like trying something else, you should first figure out what you're looking for in your OS, instead of distro-hopping for no reason. I went from Ubuntu to an Arch-based distro because I wanted newer packages and didn't like Ubuntu's package management in general, I also went from a tiling wm to KDE because while I like tiling windows, I prefer a system that it's already put together for me. Just choose what you like, that's the good thing about Linux.

>>107267261
I don't know, but I think it would be difficult to make programs recognize what versions of libraries they need
If you have ever taken a look at your /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu directory (on debian or debian based distros) you will quickly notice that most generic library names are symlinks to the actual versions, so for example on my system

libssh.so.4

is actually a symlink to

libssh.so.4.10.2

So now let's say you installed two versions of the same library

libfoo.so.3.1

and

libfoo.so.3.2

. Should

libfoo.so

now be a symlink to

libfoo.so.3.1

or

libfoo.so.3.2

? if you choose the former then this will break programs that depend on the latter library, and vice versa. From my understanding, Nix solves this by reorganizing the filesystem hierarchy and doing some clever symlinking.

If the distro you choose works for you and your hardware it's not a meme. Pop posturs itself as a gaming oriented distro so it aims to have better compatibility with gaming hardware, or make it easy to install drivers etc. But it's Ubuntu under the surface. Different distros behave differently on different hardware so if you want to venture out beyond the standard Ubuntu/mint ecosystem it's worth trying a few for some amount of time as see what works best for you overall.

Best multi-chain crypto wallets for Linux?

I want one that supports WalletConnect: the Metamask extension in Brave browser on desktop does not support that. I do NOT want a mobile wallet.

>>107269002
Look into Exodus, Rabby or Frame

>>107269002
Been on Frame a while but not a hardcore cbro, basic defi and transfers no issues. Fine with Ledger after udev perms. Interface is a bit unconventional. Secondary RPC toggles quite handy tho.

Good points about why systemd is or can become a problem. One giant software program that isn't modular or does many things and many different things is an issue. I'm in Arch Linux now and have some problem with libprotobuf library dependency or some shit. Imagine if I get into a weird situation where systemd breaks and I can't fix it without spending so much time on it. Whole system may be trashed. So modularity is important because if one thing breaks in your OS then it doesn't take the whole thing down; you simply fix the small or small-ish software which does its ONE TASK or replace it with something else.

systemd apparently does all of this: init system, Service Management, Process Management, Service Isolation, Logging, Timers, Socket and Path Activation, User Sessions. So be very worried in regards to it breaking.

>>107269039
This page
>https://www.linuxnest.com/the-best-crypto-wallets-for-linux-a-no-bullshit-hands-on-guide/
says that Exodus is only partially open source, but I'll look into it or the others you suggested.

>>107269141
>have some problem with libprotobuf library dependency
Point in bringing this up is that I may or may not have to fix it. Some libraries (like libc IIRC) are more important than others and have more things depending on it. But having way too many things depend on or based on one program can be a problem.

>>107269141
>One giant software program that isn't modular
systemd isn't one giant program that does everything, it is very modular.

Multi-chain in regards to it supporting "All EVM Chains" and Ethereum, but that's fine. Hope it does what I want.

>>107269237
Even if systemd is modular, it's still one thing with certain main dependencies and so on. Today I learned that systemd isn't interoperable. It doesn't run on FreeBSD and other BSDs.

>>107269278
systemd doesn't have many dependencies. It does depend on functionality of the linux kernel though.

Do you use I2P in Linux? I think I first heard about torrenting anonymously by using I2P from "Linux YouTuber" Mental Outlaw. If you search his channel for "i2p" then YouTube doesn't show his video titled "Anonymous Torrenting With I2P":
>https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Anonymous_Torrenting_With_I2P_(usage_of_darknet_I2Psnark).webm

I think the YouTube algorithm shadowbanned that term ("torrent"/"torrenting"); similar to what happened with BiglyBT:
>In December 2017, after pushing an update for review, the Android version of BiglyBT was rejected from Google Play for mentioning "other brands: Bittorrent" in the app listing's description, surprising the developers. The app was restored to Google Play after all mentions of "BitTorrent" were replaced with "torrent".[14] --Wikipedia

You can download this popular TV show "Firefly" via using I2P's BitTorrent Client named "I2PSnark":

Why not? Read >>107269549 - I recommend trying to torrent anonymously for movies and TV shows released in the USA (especially recent releases).

There's a possibility that it doesn't exist because you're trying to put Linux on Windows hardware. Arch and Fedora are probably the two biggest distros with recent drivers. I would only entertain LTS distros like Mint if you're dealing with ancient nVidia drivers.

>>107255092

Depends. Ubuntus repos aren't the newest so getting the newest GPU can end up being a major hassle.
Happened to me. Got a 9070XT, installed Mint, did jack shit, MOBO shows card not detected. Had to plug the HDMI back to the mobo and had to manually install the necessary drivers and other shit. Thankfully there was another dude on the Mint formus with the same issue with the same card.

Linux is a monolithic kernel. It wasn't following the UNIX philosophy from the start.

Not sure if i should ask here or over the windows general, but where can I find the most minimal and debloated windows 7 .iso to install inside a VM for Qemu+KVM?

>>107272829

if you're a hardcore gamer you'd do something like arch or bazzite, if you are enterprise fedora/ubuntu is probably good enough, if you are a dev you need to rtfm and do it on any distro you want

>>107272918
Then you use Arch or Fedora and install Debian in a Distrobox container. Or use Ubuntu non-LTS.

>>107272858
>Most Linux distros are less secure than Windows.
Ninety percent of Linux distros are crap.

Thoughts on GoboLinux? How hard would it be to implement a similar file-system in Mint (or alternatively make Gobo as similar to Mint as is possible)?

If you want me to rephrase it, pretty much all commonly used Linux distros are less secure than Windows. The closest thing Linux has to equally or more secure distros are Qubes and Secureblue.

>>107273491

I'm running Xubuntu and I replaced Thunar with Nemo but now when I left click to create a folder on my desktop, Xubuntu complains that I don't have a file manager. I can easily just open up Nemo and create a folder through it so I'm assuming the problem is that the OS is "pointing" (pathing?) to Thunar, finding its not there, and complaining about it. How do I fix this so I can create folders on my desktop again? Thanks!

display

On Fedora 42, I have a GeForce GT 710 for additional monitor and every time there's a kernel update this shit happens:

>Update & reboot, no image on GeForce connected monitor
>Install akmod-nvidia-470xx and xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-470xx
>Monitor on GeForce starts working
>Reboot
>No gui, gdm fails to start
>Login from another tty, uninstall akmod-nvidia-470xx, xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-470xx, reboot
>All monitors now work

Only slight annoyance to do is this every time, not having NVIDIA drivers is fine as the monitor is only for terminals and such. Anybody else had this happen?

>>107274297
You probably rebooted while the kernel modules were still building. Fedora is just janky like that.
Check

systemctl list-jobs

if akmods is still running. If it says no jobs running you can reboot.

>>107274350
Wasn't this, made double sure by running akmods --force --rebuild manually. It does get installed just crashes. I'll fix it by swapping the NVIDIA with an old AMD card from server machine, somehow didn't think about that before.

Best way to limit the transfer speed of a HDD mounted over sshfs?

Looking at the man page, not sure what this really means (like the filesize of a request can be 2 GB max or whatever it's set to?):
>-o max_read=N
> set maximum size of read requests
>-o max_write=N
> set maximum size of write requests
>https://www.huge-man-linux.net/man1/sshfs.html
That's not as simple as "set the transfer limit to 800 KiB/s max for upload and download"; I didn't see an option for that.
