when is something going to be done about all the arch retards and shitters shitting up everything linux related? bunch of fucking trannies.
>>107677144I think valve is starting to silo that out. Though you can never really get rid of it. Its been around for a while
>>107676464Reposting in case any other nvidia wayland anons can help me!!!! I'll suck your penis!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>107677144wtf did I ever do to you?

>>107677117hello. i've been a macbook user for the past decade and am currently running an 8 year out of date version of macos. i want to switch to linux now. which distro should i pick?
>>107678529I have no idea how someone could break their system by downloading a language pack lmao...Well first, tell us exactly what did you download and how did you install it, did you use 'apt install' on some shady .deb or .ppa?
>>107678685>which distro should i pick?doesn't really matter, just don't pick a shit distro (like arch) or a meme distro (like bazzite/nobara/cachy)
>>107678720I got it off the software center which I assumed was slightly better than just downloading random .deb or .ppa off of github or a website.I probably won't go for a minimal install next time, so much work and overhead to get what you want to work.
>>107678773>just don't pick a shit distro (like arch) or a meme distro (like bazzite/nobara/cachy)You could have just left it at arch lol
Every distro that isn't Debian based is a meme.
>>107678529It's stuff like this that makes non immutable distros seem neolithic
>>107678529>>will no longer bootHow exactly will the machine not boot? is there any error messages?Does the bootloader (I assume it's grub) work?If yes, does the kernel load?If yes, does systemd load?If yes, do you get a TTY login screen?If yes then your system does indeed boot, but you have no GUI, in that case it's easier to fix, and the issue is probably with the login manager and/or desktop environment.>>107678778One big problem with graphical software managers is that they will sometimes remove conflicting packages without telling you, potentially borking the system, i am not sure if this is exactly what happened here but it could be possible.
>>107678972>How exactly will the machine not boot? is there any error messages?The software won't boot, the machine still does
>>107679002What is your login manager? can you launch it manually from the TTY?I'm going to guess you're using lightdm and systemd, in that case try running>sudo systemctl status lightdm.serviceto see if your login manager is running, if it's not then run>sudo systemctl start lightdm.serviceto start it manually, if there are error messages then post them so i can see
I switched to cachyos a few weeks ago and it's been smooth sailing ever since
i put cachyos in the trash where it belongs and it's been smooth sailing since always
