NVIDIA is not the world though. If anything Linux has helped to make NVIDIA better, they just don't care about graphics anymore.

You should not be worried, yes. Bots are scanning the whole fucking Internet on the daily for open SSH ports. You're using key based authentication and presumably have password auth disabled so what then is there to be worried about?

OpenSSH having a very nasty bug that would affect not just you but millions of others too is the only concern but that's unlikely.

>>107479128
Not really. SteamOS isn't that usable outside of very basic stuff and gaming. Dev work will often require you to install packages system-wide, which is unsupported.
If you want a "casual distro" that's similar to SteamOS, but not locked down, then use Bazzite.

>>107479307
oh i saw bazzite get brought up a few times but i didnt know it was a distro

>>107479427
what the hell you thought it was?

>>107479572
just some application or emulator like wine

Can't pinpoint the issue but since a while I have no sound when rebooting. I manually have to "systemctl --user stop wireplumber.service". Any help with this issue? It's annyoing.

>>107478721
My advice:

Always use Steam if possible
GOG or Epic = Heroic Launcher
Everything else = Faugus Launcher

Yes you can run stuff directly through wine etc, but using faugus makes managing prefixes much easier.

You should give us the programms that give you issues then we can figure it out. Usually everything just works by using Proton-GE or CachyOS-Proton meme instead of default Proton

>>107479785
Check logs to see if you have any errors on bootup or login.
I guess in the worst case you can just add "systemctl --user stop wireplumber.service" to your autostart as a login script until your distro fixes it's shit.

>>107479923
>Faugus
My nigga almost nobody uses this shit. Bottles, Lutris and Heroic are the only relevant launchers.

>>107479950
Lutris is garbage and bloat

>>107479985
I don't care nor do I use it. I'm just stating the fact that all of those 3 above have 10x the users that Faugus has and are thus more likely to "just work" and are less likely to become abandonware.
Strictly from a market share perspective, Faugus is used by maybe 3% of Linux gamers who use these frontends. Just like PlayOnLinux is. As a Linux user you're already in the 3% niche. Going further into the 3% of the 3% is a bad idea.

>>107478888
What compels people to recomment distro instead of manually typing few commands and updating the drivers? Seems like most people itt who give their bottom tier "advice" should just buy a macbook and go post on facebook instead.

>>107480165
*d

Should I use SecureBoot or not?

>>107480082
???
In the end all these Launchers do the same shit. Create a prefix and run the game through it.
Lutris "offers" user made scripts that simply do not work at all. Their Launcher integration is ass and development also stopped since the dev jumped ship
Faugus offers a 1click install for all game launchers that actually works and offers better and easier settings.

Honestly nowadays there is not reason for Lutris to even exist anymore, bro should delete his repo

>>107480233
>is it that way because of historical reasons or what?
Yes. It's a separate clipboard called "Primary selection". Whenever you select some text it's automatically copied to it. Normally an application would prevent text pasting if it has it's own middle-click interaction/event. But Figma is a browser app and web browsers default to not blocking middle-click pasting on Linux.

Are Lutris and Bottles just cope for immutablefags? I've never had any issues just double clicking an exe to run it through WINE. Fedora btw

I switched from nvidia to AMD, in order to push myself towards using linux exclusively (since I have some trouble on nvidia). But I still need a few tools to be running, and on AMD I'm having more trouble with nvidia with shit that requires openCL or whatever the fuck.
I'm alright with losing openCL support temporally on Affinity V3 (which is quite an accomplishment to even run without it crashing and burning) but I noticed that I had much less trouble with Davinci Resolve on nvidia than AMD. Not only did I have to switch runtimes and make sure only the rocm opencl one was available, half of the time I'm afraid of clicking anything because it'll just fucking crash and close. I cannot import a certain file format from a plugin I use frequently because this piece of garbage editor won't tell me what's wrong (and because I don't want to pay 300 bucks for the cool version that does this process automatically).
Anyways, is it a better experience anywhere else with AMD? Any different distro maybe? I remember that one guy distro, Nobara, having a script for installing Davinci because this program is just infuriating.

>>107480939
I don't know what that software is but I'm guessing you're the guy that refers to donation requests as "ads"

Guess what: FOSS developers aren't your slaves. They could go and produce proprietary software, but they're choosing to make FOSS software, with the help of donations from people who use the software. If you don't want to see donation requests then go and use Macroshaft Wangblows and accept whatever steaming pile of shit they give you.

Double clicking works with Bottles and probably Lutris. Not having a GUI for WINE is fine if you don't need it, but many people prefer using launchers and also having a GUI to manage prefixes and dependencies.

Am I gonna get anything better than Bazzite if I want a distro to install on my handheld PC that I'd like to 'dock' from time-to-time and use as an actual PC?
I looked at CachyOS but heard you can fuck it up (plus the handheld version doesn't offer Gnome, which seems more touchscreen-friendly should I need to use the handheld's touchscreen in a pinch), and Nobara (maintained by a single person, which seems like a big no-no).
My only concern with Bazzite is that it has some gamer bloat - can I just uninstall all of this? I don't want controls for RGB, or Lutris, or different launchers. I just want to play in Steam Big Picture mode and that's it.

>>107481037

>>107483904

No because Atomic. You have to rebuild the entire system to make any significant changes. This is what Gentoo is made for. Offload compiling to a real computer and have everything custom for the mini to maximize battery life.

>>107483904
>but heard you can fuck it up
you can fuck up anything, the beauty of freedom.

>>107483904
Bazzite is just Fedora with extra stuff
CachyOS is just Arch with extra stuff
90% of other distros are just Ubuntu or Debian with extra stuff

It's better to just use the upstream distros because there are more devs working on them and there's less chance that someone fucks up an update for example. Also when things go wrong (and they WILL eventually go wrong if you use Linux for long enough) you get more documentation on how to solve problems from upstream distros like fedora, arch, debian, etc...

2 threads ago I was asking about getting openCL working with some old AMD cards correctly and I eventually got it, then gave up temporarily when john itself had issues specific to those cards.

What I'm working on now is using an old nvidia tesla K20Xm GPU to accelerate john. That worked without much issue, but I noticed that the GPU clock is only going up to about half of what it should be. I installed green with envy to try overclocking it (It's only pulling 100 watts and has a TDP of 235W, the and I have TONS of thermal overhead, plus its SUPPOSED to be clocked at ~2x what it is now)

After breaking my X server 4 or 5 times trying to get the "Coolbits" option set to 12 I finally got GWE to be able to modify GPU and memory clock frequencies. Under full load the GPU clock hits 365 MHz and it should be going up to 784 MHz. The memory clock is at the expected 2600 MHz. I tried increasing the GPU clock speed a bit and the maximum clock speed displayed by GWE increased accordingly, but the current clock speed remained stuck at 365. Strangely however, both increasing and decreasing the memory clock DOES actually impact the ACTUAL clock speed.

I looked into this further and eventually used the nvidia-smi terminal interface to get a whole bunch of information about the card and found that that the power state was P0 (the highest) and that the clock event reason (ie throttling reason, if any) was being displayed as "HW Slowdown" which can be caused either by high temperature or power limitations. I know it isn't temperature because it's slow-down temp is 90 C and it's only hitting 40 C. That just leaves a power issue. The way I have it set up, the card is getting power from a second dedicated 650W PSU in addition to whatever it pulls from the PCIe slot, so it should have MORE than enough.

Can the card tell it's getting power from 2 different PSUs and could that be the issue?

>tldr: my tesla K20Xm's GPU is running at half clock speed, any idea why and how to fix it?

Any Artix users itt? Looking at migrating to it for my next build, but I'm curious about the day-to-day experience of running with Arch packages installed.
The documentation's kind of vague except for a warning that their repos update at different rates and that you can break your system that way, but there's a few horror stories on the forums about accidentally dragging in tons of Arch dependencies, there not being a good way to differentiate between Arch and Artix-provided packages in pacman, etc etc.

Fairly recent, Nobara has support for older GPUs (Pascal and before IIRC) too though, but I can't really say how well they work

>>107487425
Speaking of weird stuff not working, I have no idea why it reports those sizes for my monitors, since the vertical one is 27" instead of 31" and the horizontal one is 42", not 72"

>>107487425
I'm guessing the issue is that I have a 5090 instead of a 4090. Whatever the issue is, they're just too crippling and I ran out of patience, hope it gets better eventually.

I'm like 70/30 on everything I do I can do in a browser and light gaming, I'm just also an idiot.

Hey, I'm a Windows refugee. I'm considering Linux since a lot of my games are now warning me that they'll no longer be supported. I've been looking at Bazzite but I have a few questions. Can you still use it as a regular computer or is it all games all the time and nothing else? What exactly does immutable mean and is it stable? I tried to install Ubuntu back when I built my first PC and it felt like it was freezing constantly. I have an all AMD machine with 32GB of ram.

>>107487596
all of this can be answered with a simple google search or ai. fuck off street shitter.

Is there any way to install xorg and a DE on proxmox? I want to use a spare laptop as a VM host, but need to retain full laptop functionality.
>>107487531
>>107487556
No, and it's not scary. Use a popular version of Linux. At most you will be copy pasting commands to follow an install guide if you need some obscure software.

>>107487342
I've been on Linux (Kubuntu) for two monthes now and while it mostly works I've run into enough frustrations that I've almost switched back. But every other day the news on Windows 11 just gets worse. PC gaming sucks ass right now.

On an immutable system you install Flatpak container versions of any program you can install via the GUI package store, so you can make a Bazzite install pretty much do whatever you please. Immutable means that you can't change anything outside of the /home folder which to some means that the distro stays more stable, with tested updates basically replacing everything every time outside of your /home which is kept (and why Flatpaks are installed within it.)

>>107487616

great work retard. telling people to copy and paste commands into their terminal is a great fucking idea, that way xir is guaranteed to come back and complain when xir breaks something.

It just means it's locking certain parts of it so you can't fuck it up, file system is read only, everything is sandboxed (flatpaks/appimages). Snapshots are pre-installed so every time you update it keeps a backup to roll back to in case anything happens

Why aren't there any distros based on NON-LTS Ubuntu? All the Ubuntu-based distros are based on ancient LTS versions and they suck. A de-Snapped fork of non-LTS Kubuntu would be perfect for me.

>>107478400
Bazzite isn't a bad choice probably, it's basically just SteamOS but more generic. But CachyOS is better because it lets you install custom packages and make changes to the system. Bazzite is an "immutable" OS, like SteamOS. Virtually impossible to break... because you can't change the system configuration. Will that matter to you? Perhaps not, it depends.

I know it seems like a confusing clusterfuck, so here's a rough guide
>Mint, Ubuntu, Zorin
All based on the same source (Debian) and they prioritize stability and backward compatibility. Debian = old, but stable and well tested software. They're not going to include recent Nvidia packages so avoid if you're a gamer
>SteamOS, Bazzite
Immutable OS based on Arch (which has access to more recent packages) preconfigured with game-ready drivers and Nvidia shit. Good for people who want access to more leading edge/niche packages
>CachyOS
Same as the previous two, but not immutable
>Other distros
probably not for you

>>107488101
>Why aren't there any distros based on NON-LTS Ubuntu?
Because Ubuntu is a terrible base to build off of. There's more Debian spins than Ubuntu derivatives.

>>107488120

Bazzite works but I consider it bloated due to its reliance on Flatpaks.

>>107478352
im on cachyos (arch derived) w/ a 4070 and haven't had any issues playing games.

im a recent meme convert to cachyos/hyprland, im not having any issues (except for copy and paste and electron apps which i just stopped using for the most part and switched to better software).
is the x11/wayland thing a complete meme or is there something actually bad about it. 0 issues gaming w/ nvidia and performance seemed like the same it was on windows.

>>107488120

I still wouldn't recommend Bazzite to noobs because you can't really download programs from your web browser on immutable distros. RPM installers just don't work on Bazzite and offline Flatpak installers are rare.

Anyone have experience using I2P in qBittorrent? Curious to know about that or try it myself (I currently use I2PSnark for anonymous torrent dl+ul). After you install I2P and run it, settings in qBittorrent to enable it:

I think if you don't enable "Mixed mode" then that will keep .i2p torrents as .i2p-only and won't touch the clearnet.

>Is the KDE "krash" meme real
It was during KDE 4 and very early KDE 5. Especially on Kubuntu, which was the most popular KDE distro back then. Mainly because there's a mismatch between KDE releases and Ubuntu releases, and the LTS version of KDE wasn't maintained well.
>Kubuntu looks interesting for me.
Kubuntu is probably the worst implementation of KDE and one of the reasons why "Krashes" is as popular as it is. If you want KDE go for Aurora, Kinoite or Fedora KDE.

>Can you still use it as a regular computer
Yes. "Game mode" is a separate install image and it supports logging out to desktop.

It's the same as Android where it has A/B system partitions. So you need to reboot your PC for system updates/changes to apply, just like Android, macOS or Windows. It's nothing relevant for most users.

Yes.

>>107488204
>People are leaving Windows in the first place because of bloat
Incorrect. They're leaving Windows because of either spyware, ads or lack of control.
"Bloat" is something that absolutely nobody cares about. You know how you can tell?
1. All other major operating systems work with packages in a "bloated" way. There's no better way to ensure backward/forward compatibility.
2. WINE/Proton works the same way Flatpak does. A separate 500MB Windows-like environment is made for each WINE/Proton version you have installed. Sometimes there's a separate one for each individual game, which is even worse than Flatpak runtimes.
3. Almost everyone is fine with Electron apps existing.
4. Windows and Android are the most popular OSs despite their "bloat".
Storage is cheap. All your installed Flatpaks combined will maybe consume an extra 20-30 GB which is $2 worth of storage.

>>107488277
Appimages work fine and are increasingly more common than getting a .deb/.rpm package. Also, you can still install rpm packages inside a distrobox, that's why Bazzite ships with a GUI for it.

okay I will say, basically it just makes it very easy to set up VMs which are solely meant to route traffic from other VMs (aka other 'qubes') through I2P (or Tor? or VPN? It's your choice) while blocking everything else. It's like not even half as involved as the shit you guys are doing, while being way more secure and leak proof since the torrenting software (if you do all this correctly) literally CANNOT do a discovery of your real IP even if it gets root privileges and exploits the linux kernel it's running on

Someone here recommended me to use an irc bouncer like znc on my vps, when I simply could've used tmux + irc client of choice on my vps for persisent connection.

I mean, why would I need a bouncer if all I do is ssh into my vps from my laptop? I don't use any other device, thus a bouncer would be of waste.

Can I force Davinci Resolve to use a custom Qt stylesheet or something? I HATE DARK THEMES I HATE DARK THEMES I HATE DARK THEMES I HATE DARK THEMES I HATE DARK THEMES

>>107489696
Probably not because it likely bundles its own Qt instead of using the system Qt.

>>107488582
>>107488534
I think the best distro in terms of Nvidia support for Davinci Resolve is AlmaLinux 9. It has the open driver on its own repo, precompiled kmods from Nvidia's repo or ELrepo, you can lock in specific driver branches, etc.
Fedora updates kernels a lot and is pretty much limited to the latest branch and DKMS off RPMfusion, which often leads to a variety of problems.

>>107489682
There are two components to this:
First is the GTK theme (or Qt theme for Qt apps), which determines the appearance of almost everything inside the window, including buttons, menus, items, panels, etc...
GTK and Qt themes are mostly independent of window managers. The main problem here is that you have to choose one, or make a separate theme for both.

The second component is the window manager theme, i.e. window decorations. This determines the appearance of the window borders, title, buttons window borders, etc...
This is window manager specific and would require you to learn how your window manager works to design one.

I'm sure there are many tools out there to design GTK and Qt themes, this is one of them for example:
https://github.com/themix-project/themix-gui

As for designing a window manager theme, that is highly dependent on your window manager and you would probably need to read the documentation of your window manager for this one.

Alma 9 is the last release to support Xorg, which is good to have in Nvidia environments. Davinci Resolve might also not have fully embraced 10 yet. tl;dr - it's a long term support distro where each release gets better over time, not meant to be updooted as soon as a new one comes out.

>and is it ok for gaming?
It runs Steam/Proton and Lutris/Wine, so yeah. Unless you need the latest kernel optimisations for last month's slop, in which case stick with Fedora or Arch.

>>107489889
That's not what I'm suggesting at all.

How do you guys clean your /var directory? I find that sometimes apt fails to remove some stuff from there after purging packages, especially in /var/lib

I thought OpenSUSE has a build service which builds tons of stuff, including experimental packages

Anyway I'm a Debian/Ubuntu user and yeah they're fine for my use. I don't play the latest games so I don't need bleeding edge packages.

>>107493530
They do and anyone can use it. They were doing package clouds like GitHub actions, etc, do, before it was cool.

>>107493268
I'd say your best option is Bazzite since CachyOS is much less stable long term. It's significantly less "set it up and forget it". So, compared to Bazzite and SteamOS which "maintain themselves" it won't be uncommon for you to have to drop to the CachyOS desktop mode or the terminal to unfuck some system update.

>>107493711
So why does that guy say he has to build packages on OpenSUSE. Maybe he is lying.

>>107493756
He probably doesn't know how to use it (or GitHub Actions, etc). You can always get someone else to build it for you and then just install the deb or rpm they built. It's a skill issue.

>>107493034
>hows the grass on your side of the fence?
Been on Debian for about 5 years now, and know the ins outs of it. I never had to build any packages except for suckless.org stuff.
If you decide to install Debian the first package you should install should be nala.
Debian repos are very rich, and if you ever need more then there's always flatpaks/snaps/distrobox/... etc.

Anyone know how to get this dogshit kernel to include my fucking key? If I provide an incomplete key the kernel build fails, so clearly it's able to see that the key is valid. It also signs the kernels with the key properly when I run make modules_install.
Alpine Linux if that matters. I had to install the separate kmod package to allow it to generate the module dependencies correctly, so I don't know if I'm just fucking missing something that's silently fucking everything up again.

>>107494189
Do not compile your kernel as root

>>107494252
I'm pretty sure that's not what the issue is. I made the key 4k and it's working, for some reason nobody bothered to test with larger keys.

>>107494690
It's probably not but you're one accidental rm -rf in a build-script away from disaster. Certainly none of the developers test building the kernel as root.

I really really want for Linux to be good and ditch windows 10 once and for all, but seriously, you guys have to stop allying with autistic trannies and make an OS that just works.

Using Linux is death by a thousand cuts and many of the programs I need aren't even available on Linux or have compatibility problems.

I'm really hoping that valve fixes this or something, but come on guys, you had like 20 years, stop making diestros that work for a specific niche and nothing else and do something that just works.

>>107495292
Forgot to mention that I'm on openSUSE Leap 15.5

>>107495304
>>107495307
And also this is a very specific problem because it's a newer graphics card, the previous one I had didn't have that problem. Some say that you need the open drivers which I found through the yast program but maybe it's something else.

>>107495307
>OpenSUSE with NVIDIA
Good luck with that.

At least you're not using Tumbleweed so you should in theory have a better time with them on Leap (if you can get them installed at least)

SUSE's equivalent to Dnf. It's their package manager frontend that resolves RPM dependencies.

>>107495341
Just try the open driver and if that doesn't work then whatever the latest version of the proprietary is and if it still doesn't work then it's NVIDIA's issue.

>>107495374
>Just try the open driver
How do I do that? There were such in the yast program like I said already but they made no difference at all. I'm stuck on the 800x600 and it's really frustrating. Do you think upgrading to Leap 16 would fix that? The reason I stay on this version is that many of the programs are not supported on the new one for some bizarre reason,

>>107495392
The wiki explains it:
Add the repos and then:

zypper in nvidia-open-driver-G06-signed-kmp-meta

>>107495413
>No provider of 'nvidia-open-driver-G06-signed-kmp-meta' found.
Even after adding the supposed repositories.

>>107495440
I guess the instructions are outdated then. Ask on an OpenSUSE forum somewhere.

You could also try the automated installer:
>To auto-detect and install the right driver for your hardware, run

# zypper install-new-recommends

>>107495466
Did that already. Also installed kmp such drivers for yast.

It's impossible or hard to get SOCKS5 proxy working with GNU Wget because tsocks is stupid or something. See >>107489125

So then, how do I get such a proxy to work in Chrome's settings?

I remember using Windows+Firefox like 10 years ago and you just went into the browser's settings and put in the IP+port and bam you were done. Proxy would work. I went to
>brave://settings/?search=proxy
and it only showed:
>brave://linux-proxy-config/
which says:
>When running Brave under a supported desktop environment, the system proxy settings will be used. However, either your system is not supported or there was a problem launching your system configuration.
>
>But you can still configure via the command line. Please see man brave for more information on flags and environment variables.
but then I get these errors when running "man brave", "brave --help", and "man brave-browser":
>No manual entry for brave
>No manual entry for brave-browser

>>107489125
>TZ=UTC tsocks wget -O- $url

>>107495820
Brave has a built-in tor proxy, just use that.

>>107495955
Everyone uses Tor as proxy, so most IPs will be already-used-up or blocked for stuff I'm doing. Daily usage limit and so on. I can use I2P outproxies, but those don't work so well and only occasionally work in my experience. Dunno if Lokinet works anymore; I did use Lokinet exit nodes in the past, then they stopped working.

>>107488400
>I get that you want to do password cracking at scale with vintage office computers
I'd hardly call it vintage. These are from 2018 and are using i7 7700's that can maintain a boost clock of 4.2 GHz indefinitely.

>As for the GPU power, I have never heard of a separate PSU being used for this and my suspicion would be a ground loop or similar electrical issue.
What do you mean by a ground loop? To be honest I'm kind of surprised this works at all but I looked it up and it's totally a thing you can do. They even make special boards that you plug a SATA or PCIe cable into from the primary and the main board connector to from the secondary so the main PSU triggers the second one to turn on automatically in a master/slave configuration. The one I'm using doesn't have the big 24pin connector (its a fully modular PSU) and just has a switch you flip to turn it on so I didn't even need to short the enable pin to ground to turn it on.

When I was running it on windows like this, gpuz would give me the power draw coming from the PCIe slot, the 6pin PCIe connector, and the 8pin PCIe connector separately when I was using the datacenter driver. It pulled about 30-40% from the pcie slot, about 50% from the 8pin connector, and the rest from the 6pin. Incidentally, the clock speed was the same in windows as well.

Also in case it might make any difference, I'm also running a GT 730 in one of the other slots and its frequency measurement is all jacked up (showing a tremendously large negative number or zero) I would remove it to see if that fixes it but last time I checked doing that broke my x server (again).

Just so you know, I had Debian testing with Xfce on a T430 and it started having issues with pulseaudio and display management that I couldn't resolve, so I installed Kubuntu 25.10 and this is a very nice experience. I haven't ever used KDE for more than trying it out on a live distro and I'm finding it very pleasant! I like the work they're doing with this DE!

>>107496119
>started having issues with pulseaudio and display management that I couldn't resolve
The solution would've been to remove pulseaudio and install pipewire-audio, as for display management I'm not sure what you mean.

I didn't uninstall Mint, I got to the boot menu where it lets me select between fedora and mint. I didn't even have windows installed yet.

On Mint I was able to install 5.80 drivers (with more difficulty than it should) and nvidia-smi confirmed the driver was installed, though right now I can't be assed to log in to get the full output. Mint is incredibly buggy with that driver though, it disabled the wallpaper so the background is all black, I alt-tabbed out of a game and it crashes the display, multi-monitor wasn't stable, that type of stuff. Then I tried fedora and if I select it from the boot menu it doesn't even get to the login screen.

>UNIX offers two commands for removing a directory, rmdir and rm -r (compare the VMS command DELETE). The latter is one form of the rm (remove) command which is used to remove files (see Section 4.9). Like the VMS command DELETE, rmdir removes a directory only if it contains no files. The directory must be at the lowest level of the directory hierarchy before you can delete it, since only then will it contain no directory files. (English)
