No. You will lose quality if you reduce bit rate, simple as. In fact, if you reencode at all you'll always lose quality because you're doing a lossy to lossy conversion. What you're asking for is quite literally the impossible.

You will always lose quality when transcoding video, but you can use newer codecs to reduce the filesize while maintaining minimal loss

Dmenu looks extremely blurry under KDE (X11). Disabling the compositor fixes this, but obviously I'm not doing that, so I figured out I could use Window Rules to disable it *only* for dmenu, but I can't get that working, picrel is what I tried to use. It actually does work for mpv, but not dmenu (for mpv I applied a "disable titlebar" and "change active opacity", both were applied with no issues). Any ideas?

I think you want global pulseaudio flag to be set. It means packages will build support for pulseaudio as far as I understand it.

From prev thread:
I'm on Debian 13.
I start sway by using this in my .profile (no display manager):
if [ -z "$WAYLAND_DISPLAY" ] && [ -n "$XDG_VTNR" ] && [ "$XDG_VTNR" -eq 1 ] ; then
exec sway
fi


In my profile i also set path to include both $HOME/.local/bin and $HOME/bin. It's the default .profile config in Debian.

Login tty1, sway starts, I open a terminal and the $PATH no longer includes my bin folders from $HOME. They are included on tty console, but mo longer after a graphical environment is up (sway, i3 doesn't matter). No terminal emulator sees the right $PATH as setup by .profile.

It used to be that starting from tty1 after login would mean the graphical environment would inherit the proper $PATH as set by .profile. This is no longer the case and I just don't know why and when did this change?

>>107949420
>maybe it's the terminal
It's the same on foot, xterm and alacritty, so it doesn't seem to be the case.
>>
>>107949806
I think you are supposed to start sway from outside of your user session.
I only use X and lightdm but in essence you want your session manager to handle the custom startup script which includes sway and any other shit you might think of.
>>
>>107949795
I have a feeling most people already install pipewire as their sound server by default and prefer it over pulseaudio so all they're doing is just making it more convenient for users.

This might have something to do with systemd since im on a non-systemd distro with the latest version of sway and it works fine for me. Maybe try running devuan , artix , alpine in a VM with the same config and see if it still happens?
>>
>>107949806
>>107949824
To add there's probably something else going on. You could always try setting up your extra paths in /etc/environment and see what it does.
I prefer to use /usr/local/bin and such. /home/ is only for config files.

That implies a display manager is now required? It used to just work: login from tty and have .profile run the exec and autostart it and it worked flawesly. What changed? I looked for git issues, bug reports; searched mailing lists I can't find it. Only report of this sort of thing is exactly from people not starting from tty but using a display manager.

Again this problem of not getting the $PATH right once inside the graphical enviroment aplies to both X11 and Wayland. I have the same problem on either i3 or sway.


The exec on tty1 inside .profile is mentioned in arch wiki, is somwthing that I used personally for years, so I don't know when or why it stopped working.

I'm feeling this might be it as well, but I haven't tried it on a non-systemd distro yet. Again as in my previous post arch wiki says it should work and arch, while not being my debian install, is still systemd based. Maybe the wiki should be updated or something?

I have no .bash_profile or .bash_login file and .profile does get executed. I login into tty console and do echo $PATH - it's the right path. Only after i execute sway or startx, the $PATH gets reset to some default $PATH without my custom home bin directories. Again only in the graphical environment it looks like .profile set path is no longer available. The weird thing is it should be and again it used to be, I had this configuration and it worked, arch wiki says the same, that the graphical environment being started from tty which is a login shell would inherit the right $PATH variable that .profile sets up. The display server (X11/Wayland) would inherit that and all other terminal emulators would too, again all being run under/from that login shell. This seems to no longer be the case, I'm not sure why.

So I've migrated to Linux, but what about my giant NTFS formatted HDDs? Can I still use those and have them mounted to my system without worrying?

>They work, you just mount them.
So it seems on pretty much every major distribution out of the box. I'm only really worried about program compatibility or whether the system will somehow do a worse job of maintaining drive health or if they can do that on their own.

No idea about drive health, but I've used an NTFS drive as my external storage device for around 8 years now and I had no issues with it on Linux.
>program compatibility
The only thing that reportedly doesn't work is gaming using Proton. I'm not aware of anything else, but if there is some software which relies on features only available to UNIX file systems and you need to use that software then it's better to backup your files and reformat to ext4/btrfs.

I have concluded that the best way for my usecase to install programs on Linux is in such a way that lets me always uninstall them and purge all dependencies.

But I also greatly appreciate the search function in the application menu and also LOVE that I have program categories, to the point where I launch my programs almost exclusively through the categorized application menu with the flyout submenus such as on LXQt and KDE Plasma.

But which distribution is the best suited for this way of only ever installing and uninstalling software/dependencies through the terminal package manager? So far I have greatly enjoyed simply opening up the terminal, using APT to install something and its dependencies, and then purging that if it doesn't suit my needs to remove clutter, though if something only offers appimages or flatpaks then I'm less sure as to how to go about it. I have seen some programs require you to add links to their own repositories to pull the files form, so I don't know what the limit for this sort of method are.
>>
>>107950699
It's better to use them as storage volumes.
If you decide to stay on Linux, cull some data, resize partitions and convert most of them to ext4/xfs. But if they were archive volumes already you should just leave them as is.

An appimage is a self-contained application in a single file. You just delete the ".appimage" file and that's basically the same as doing "apt purge".
A flatpak equivalent to "purging" is "flatpak uninstall <package>; flatpak uninstall --unused".
Keep in mind that in all cases you're left with leftover user data and config files. With apt and appimage they could be anywhere in your home directory. With flatpak they're in ".var/app/<your-flatpak-app>" so they're much easier to clear.

If 1 GB of RAM is too much for you then no distro or OS will work for you unless you actually install something from 10-15 years ago.
Maybe try Q4OS with Trinity DE. It should be similar to Windows XP and it still supports 32bit devices.

>hard to use for normies
I'll give you that, but "easy" interfaces are all currently too heavy for you. That is, unless Q4OS+Trinity works for you. Even BlissOS will probably consume at least 1GB idle.

What's best for a Windows 95 style UI? The Trinity Desktop Environment, or Xfce + Chicago95?

Any good ones based on Debian or Ubuntu but otherwise with a standard DE like KDE or LXQt? Or does it not really matter if you're only concerned about software?

I've done a full install of Chicago95 on Mint XFCE before and it is really close in appearance, but I think LXQt might be better if you want stuff like window animations and a specific start menu, at least for the older versions I tested. OpenBox feels really good as a WM.

COSMIC has some pretty cool features but it really should still be in beta maybe even for at least another year. It's not a complete desktop at all. Used it for all of today to see what it was like and bounced
>out of the box window management options including tiling with a decent amount of configuration for it
Probably the best feature, could still use some more but was pretty good for what it was, saying that as someone who is comfortable with window managers but not a hardcore user that uses dozens of workspaces.
>out of the box ricing shit like transparency, changing colors, gaps, rounding/straight corners, theming gtk/qt apps

Praise ends there
>ugly out of the box
You can rice it easily but something about its defaults just looks wrong.
>barebones core apps
You will pretty much be relying on random shit from GNOME or KDE, which does not help the feeling that the whole desktop is kind of a frankenstein middle ground between the two. I know it just came out but you really need to cover all of the basic functions out of the box before you call yourself a desktop environment. It felt like setting up a window manager fetching shit manually. The whole point of a desktop is you don't have to go through that process.
>bugs and krashes
To be expected, for a beta, but they stopped calling it one.
>no GNOME-shell like overview option unless I missed it
Why copy so much of GNOME if I can't actually recreate my vanilla workflow 1:1 in your new desktop? COSMIC seems to encourage choice so let me just have gnome-shell with more built into it, that's something that would make me really want to switch.

How do I "deploy" or whatever like a pro instead of copy pasting text from the connecting machine to the target box like a retard?
There's a bunch of files under /etc/systemd/network then there's nftables.conf and hostapd.conf somewhere under /etc and a mishmash of other junk.
Obviously this "deployment" involves having the relevant software packages too but that's peanuts. And my distros can vary so I can't just script it all as some APT-command or whatever.

stupid question.
I have been using ubuntu for a while, i distro hopped around but always came back to it.
I can install it anywhere and it has what i want.
Recently tried debian for the first time because figured it would be ubuntu without the bloat.

immediately tried to use 'touch test' then 'ed test'
it failed because ed doesnt exist and i had to install it.

is basic toolset loss like this common, where you have to install any tool you want to use like a fresh arch install?
or was 'ed' just an outlier case?

conceptually i think debian is great and would like to explore it more
>>
>>107952824
>is basic toolset loss like this common
I guess, a basic toolset is a matter of opinion but usually it means a system that just so barely boots up and that's it. Some newbies trying Arch even dared to claim that "Arch has broken networking" as the base install didn't involve Wi-Fi tools.
But that's the case with all distributions, EVEN UBUNTU as the metapackage ubuntu-minimal doesn't involve Wi-Fi tools. (yes, you can bootstrap an Ubuntu installation that's just as minimal as Arch)

Thank you. Yes I guess it does depend on each persons use case.
Do you think debian has any inherent advantages over ubuntu out of the box? (besides not collecting telemetry data)

I do see the appeal of customization in something like arch for example, but i guess i like the idea of being able to install something quickly and get to work.
Particularly if im not creating a stable home base install, and just need to throw something into a vm on a random computer i have access to.
>>
>>107953073
>I do see the appeal of customization in something like arch for example
You can similarly customise Ubuntu, they are both binary distributions so there isn't anything fundamentally different between them.
Maybe you are overthinking the fact that some distributions "default" to the bare minimal set of packages, that's somewhere around 200-300 packages that make up a very crude Linux system. And again: Ubuntu has the same option, it's just not very apparent and requires neckbearding. Further reading: https://wiki.debian.org/Debootstrap
>i like the idea of being able to install something quickly and get to work
You can install packages just as quickly on both. Package manager downloads stuff, extracts it into the filesystem and marks it as installed on it's internal database.

feh on cachyos lxqt works fine. scrolling through image folder, window conforms to the image size and scales down if dimensions are bigger than the display
feh on cachyos cinammon if the first image is bigger than the display, scrolling through subsequent images, window will stay full size and display the transparency white and gray grid on the sides of the image.
adding --scale-down option there are still transparency squares on left and right sides of the image if any dimension is bigger than the display.
left mouse click with --scale-down option will resize the window to fit the image. each additional left mouse click after seems to shrink the image window by 1px along the x and y
i added --image-bg black option instead of the jarring transparency grid but i'd prefer if the window just fit the image. what can i do?

My friend and I came up with an idea: start a computer store selling Linux machines. Our niche will be selling cheap machines with DDR3 due to the RAM shortage, and as we know Windows 11 doesn't (officially) support DDR3 hence the need for Linux.

There's no magic, you can just set the timeout to 0 and it will just boot the default option every time.

What pisses me the fuck off about rust tards is they unironically think they can rewrite C code with Rust and it will be better. The product of course is slower, and handles edge cases poorly.

>>107954786
Test uutils `yes` versus coreutils `yes`. It's actually faster than it. Of course they can't always beat out very well optimised C code though but there are at least some cases where it's quicker.
>>
>>107954779
They can't fix it all, the code is too trashed. The utilities are not even close to ready, and Canonical hasn't done 1% of edge case testing needed to put it in production. And even if the edge cases get fixed, which they won't and therefore will break scripts, the Rust utils are inferior to C in performance. People will have to accept the newly lowered performance limitations, all thanks to Rust. They think they, Canonical, can rewrite GNU better in Rust? And you believe em?

>>107954782
>Explaining why they moved to Rust

It can be quicker though, you just have to be a very good programmer that knows how to write performant code.

>>107954813
They can't fix the edge cases until they do the testing, and they don't even wanna do that because they have a tiny team that only goes on like 3 big subreddits. Canonical average IQ is beneath 100.

>Rust isn't aiming to be as fast as C
Cope for my Linux scripts now running slower. "It's easier to code in" becomes "it's shittier for the end user" every time. Magisk is another great example. Look at all their issues on the GitHub page saying it causes bootloops. Coincidence Magisk just switched to Rust? Rust is inferior in terms of PERFORMANCE. Speed is only one aspect of this performance. Stability is another. Rust code seems to be terribly unreliable and unstable.

>>107954818
Now you listen here you lil shit. I'll stop being a schizo when you stop being a bad coder. If you wanna run something new and cool, run Go. Don't know what's up with all this rust garbage, it runs like crap everywhere it gets put. I'm not even saying the lang itself is bad, maybe there will be cool programs written in it, but forcing it on top of working C code seems like autistic zealotry. Canonical are a bunch of actual downies for doing this. They need to hire me to slap up all their staff until they program better

>They can't fix the edge cases until they do the testing, and they don't even wanna do that because they have a tiny team that only goes on like 3 big subreddits. Canonical average IQ is beneath 100.
Why do you think they made it the default?
You can't test edge-case behaviour until you expose it to edge-cases. Your perfect test cases won't expose the problems. You need to run it in the real-world so it can break real users scripts and then those users report bugs to get them fixed.

Oh? I'll look into it then, thanks.

Even if Rust is fast, it's less stable, because the programmer and the lang are both pretty retarded. You have to be a saint of knowledge to write good Rust code.
>>
>>107954876
Yes and no. You don't have to be an amazing programmer to make something "fast" because Rust makes things like parallelism extremely easy. You do have to be an amazing expert to compete with highly optimised C code written by skilled C programmers though. They will know how to use things like parallelism and simd and assembly optimisations, etc.

Coreutils is very well optimised. It wasn't written by amateurs.

KDE Neon

I'd recommend either going for Bazzite or CachyOS. And absolutely avoid KDE Neon and PopOS.

As for Mint and Manjaro, try them if you want but I personally wouldn't use them.
Mint is just permanently stuck years behind distros like Bazzite, Cachy, Fedora, and even Ubuntu which it's based on. If you're trying out Linux because you heard "SteamOS is good" and "Linux is finally getting good" then Mint isn't for you since it lacks a lot of the improvements Linux had in the past few years. Mint used to be good back in 2010-2020 because all other distros equally sucked. And the main reason it became popular in the first place was because people wanted to use Ubuntu but fucking hated Canonical.
As for Manjaro, it has never been stable for me. I preferred it over Mint but it had random weird issues.

Primarily use Flatpaks for your applications. There isn't much you can do since the security standards on Linux desktops are pretty fucking horrible even compared to Windows.

I find that really hard to believe unless you cherrypicked 5 flatpaks which all have completely different runtimes and extremely large dependencies. And if that's the case then a non-flatpak install wouldn't be much better either.
In any case it's not like you're forced to use Flatpak even on Bazzite. Use rpm-ostree if you want to.

I had to recently use windows for something work-related and set up scoop as a package manager and it made me wish linux had a package manager like scoop (and i guess homebrew is similar? at least on macos) but the closest thing would've been flatpak if it wasnt for their obsession with unstable sandboxing and bloated dependencies. Maybe something like arch through distrobox would be a better way to do it since it wont have multiple runtimes and shit but distrobox is too much of a hack. Or maybe nix and guix are a better option but as far as i know both of those also have the same runtime issues as flatpak just maybe not as large of a filesize.

>It was invented to fix the problem of dependencies that they themselves created
What's your solution to this then? Write everything from scratch without using dependencies at all? Just duplicate the code rather than rely on dependencies? That still creates the same imaginary issue of "duplication and waste of storage".
Dependencies are simply necessary in the modern age unless you want to go back to the time of the "muh UNIX philosophy" where all packages are just simple CLI tools.
The only other alternative to the Flatpak approach would be something like Appimage where all dependencies are packaged in but none are shared nor does the user know how much space is wasted to duplication.
>but global shared dependencies
This doesn't work and is proven to not work on desktops. Your electron apps don't share the same electron runtime, your Windows games usually don't share the same WINE runtime, your games don't share the same game engine runtime, your websites don't share JS or CSS libraries at all. So this "issue" exists everywhere yet nobody seems to care. Which simply tells me that people actually don't give a shit about wasted space and they just want to shit on Flatpak for completely unrelated reasons.

>>107957188
>rpm-ostree is extremely slow that it takes hours to install one fucking package
So install more than one package at once? How many times are you installing shit anyways? Installing applications is not something done more than once a month aside from the initial setup.

What do you mean by multiple devices?
Depending on your distro you don't need to set up an unencrypted boot partition anymore if you use EFI since the latest grub version now properly supports unlocking luks2 containers.

If that was true, then Linux in general would not be user friendly. I guess we best all go to MacOS then, that's user friendly.

That's not going to make things go faster.
>How many times are you installing shit anyways?

there's several people not recommending mint just itt
>>
>>107957263
"Beginner" distros have such reputations for a reason. They are user-friendly, stable, have ample online support, and almost always just werk.
>>
>>107957706
Its just one anon who forces the same argument about mint being somehow outdated while pushing bazzite.
>>
>>107957640
Ok, serious opinion time. I think that you should try various distros and pick one that works the best for you. Whatever it might be. Alternatively, if you don't want to try anything, just install Arch manually. There is no reason to ever use anything other than Arch if you can use Arch, but Arch poses issues to someone who is new or doesn't have the time to learn how to use it.
>>
>>107957640
Depends on the person.
Are you a retard who doesn't care about anything and just wants to watch videos or something? - Ubuntu or Mint or something, idc I'm not your dad and you shouldn't be on this board anyway
Are you actually a power user? - Gentoo or maybe Arch
>>
>>107957640
The answer is: for whom (under what circumstances)?
>>
>>107949389
I have been trying to install Cachy on my main pc with no luck
After the grub menu it just doesn't boot no matter what parameters I put. I already changed the bios boot settings
I was thinking using a enclosure to install it externally, as I don't have another pc compatible with nvme. Would this work?
I also tried with Ubuntu 24.04 and Bazzite
Bazzite at least gave me a frozen "Booting a command line"
>>
>>107957756
No questions. You have to recommend the right one right now or they will hate Linux forever and go back to Windows while shoving an iphone up their ass at the same time.
>>
>>107957734
you're calling everyone a bazzite shill, including me sometimes. this is me >>107954453 clearly recommending mint. this is not me >>107955103
I think you're just an /x/ poster or one of the mint devs who comes to shill mint here.
>>
>>107957799
Everyone is different. It's like recommending a football team to support to someone and you know nothing about them. It's not as simple as simply saying "the one I like".

Just pick any popular distro. Here's data from Steam for example. Anything up to "Flatpak" is perfectly fine. Arch, Cachy, Mint, Fedora, Ubuntu, Bazzite or Endeavour. Aside from Arch itself which you can skip if you don't care about learning the CLI.
>>
>>107957893
>Ubuntu shrinking
>Arch growing
Y'know, I didn't expect such a /g/ sentiment to be true.
>>
>>107957807
It doesn't look like you're the one being called a bazzite shill so i don't know why you're complaining.
>>
>>107957911
I mean it makes perfect sense for the gamer segment.
>>
>>107957893
Wow manjaro had a really hard fall from grace in this chart.
>>
>>107957911
Do keep in mind that this chart only concerns those who use ProtonDB for gaming and contributed to this survey, not GNU/Linux users as a whole.
>>
>>107957893
is debian so low only because people keep saying debian is bad for gaming even though it's actually fine ? or is the actual pc userbase so small ?
>>
>>107957920
Gamers do love tinkering so i guess it makes sense why they would gravitate towards a distro for tinkerers like arch.
>>
>>107957937
Its possible that people use flatpak steam on debian and some other distros like fedora so their usage might not be accurate while people using arch might be more likely to use packaged steam over flatpak though i've had steam break on arch sometimes due to libraries being newer than what steam expects
>>
>>107957893
>>107957920
>PopOS
Isn't that a gamer distro? Well that's just sad.
>>
>>107957967
No its something to be installed on their laptops that they sell (Mainly to enterprise).
>>
>>107957955
I've heard that the flatpak version of steam isn't very good though but yeah that's likely
>>
>>107957919
can you read? you've called me a bazzite shill multiple times in the past threads.
>>
>>107957955
That only happens if you use steam-native (I do too). Steam bundles its own libraries and they will almost never break. When you do get library issues then you just have to re-build the native libraries again.
>>
>>107957939
There's that, and the fact that you're less likely to run into hardware issues.

>>107957937
Debian is low because almost nobody uses it even outside of the gaming space. People are mainly using it's derivatives. Even outside of Steam gamers I'd expect Debian to be around the same 2%-5% market share.

>>107957933
Sure, but it seems to be pretty consistent with the actual Steam Hardware Survey once you take off SteamOS from the list and if you were to bundle all the versions of point release distros into one entry. For example, data from the Steam Hardware Survey suggest Debian is at 1.7% and Fedora is at 3.5%. But that doesn't include older versions of either distro.

>>107957967
No. It was just pushed by Linus Tech Tips at one point probably because it had "better working" nVidia drivers compared to most other distros. But PopOS was abandoned a few years ago without any updates aside from what Ubuntu provides. PopOS devs got pissed off at GNOME devs and started working on the Cosmic DE. Once they were satisfied with it a couple of months ago they finally updated PopOS from Ubuntu 22 to Ubuntu 24 and called it a beta release.

>>107958086
Maybe is asking/looking for a wine version installed as a "native" program with your distro package manager (a wine binary in your $PATH).
>>
New thread: >>107958235

>>107958202
maybe, however, when i go to wine runner options it shows an installed wine version, but won't let me use it. i can reinstall it and it does *something*, and in the end nothing changes
>>
>>107958239
Thanks
>>
>>107958086
Maybe you installed the flatpak version of lutris?
>>
>>107958202
>>107958247
On debian and derivatives wine is installed in /usr/games instead of the normal /usr/bin path so maybe check if /usr/games is added to your $PATH
>>
>>107958276
no, i downloaded a deb file from the repo
>>107958289
okay thanks anon

it's really not a huge issue at the moment, just puzzled by it really
>>
>>107958086
Lutris has its own Wine builds, in addition to an option to use Wine from your system or even Steam
>>
>>107957422
You can use Readline with vi/vim keybindings, see:
