TOTAL DESKTOP ENVIRONMENT UNINSTALL

>>107986961
Yes, but this was an idea for a different and new general that focussed on corporate-backed and ‘accountable’ distros that just work for everyday and professional tasks. I had no intention of causing an imposition on or changing /fglt/. But I n reality this was basically just a hypothetical and moot idea tbph

Help me debug this shit, I'm completely lost.

Periodically when my laptop wakes up from sleep, something locks up. The first and main symptom is that for some reason all network-related services absolutely lock up. Network connection obviously doesn't work, but restarting the iwd service or running "ip addr" just hangs forever. I don't know if there are any other symptoms, but I've never noticed anything else wrong; I can take my time saving my work, making sure I remember what I had open, saving browser sessions etc. Then I reboot to restore network access.

During shutdown, the same two errors always pop up: first, "unable to stop dhcpd", followed by killing the daemon. Seems related to the total network stack death somehow.
And second, "unable to unmount root because we are using /; mount-ro failed" hangs the entire boot process. At that point I force shutdown my laptop by holding down the power button, reboot and everything is perfectly fine on the next boot.

Does anybody have any idea what this could possibly be? Where do I even begin looking to see how it could be prevented, or perhaps recovered without a reboot once I'm in that state?

No there're barely enough people to keep one general with meaningful discussion around why split it even further.

>>107987337
Because I need to turn this thread into a circle jerk

>corporate-backed and ‘accountable’ distros that just work for everyday and professional tasks
The problem is that then you'd have 2 Linux threads and constant bickering regarding which distros are "corporate-backed and ‘accountable’" and "just work for everyday and professional tasks". Ideally /fglt/ should also be able to accommodate people who are looking for these types of distros. If you feel like it doesn't you can have a trial run of these "corpo linux" threads and see if they're worth it.

>corporate-backed and ‘accountable’ distros that just work for everyday and professional tasks
I can do my shit with literally any distro I can get my hands on. I don't need Ubuntu or RHEL specifically for anything "professional".
There's no point in a general. Just make a normal thread or whatever if you really want to talk about those kinds of distros.

>>107987098
there's no point for this, you get to bother the corporation if you're using a corporate-backed and "accountable" distro, not 4chan

have you anons noticed a significant improvement in smoothness / speed when going from x11 to wayland?

I remember a very cool tool to visually see the diagram of the internal schematics of the system with connected buses and such, does anyone know the name?

>>107987656
Yeah mailbox vsync is good.

it's over for this drive isn't it

>>107988191
My drives are ancient and reddit says they were supposed to have failed years ago, it actually makes me quite worried.

Any idea why the external HDD connected with USB sometimes umounts if left for some day/s plugged in?

I'm waiting to buy a new NVMe drive but the prices aren't ever coming down are they?
I'd really like to be able to buy an 8TB drive someday. The alternative is I buy 3x or 4x 4 TB drives and a bifurcation card but I really don't want to do that.

>>107988343
Dodgy USB controller maybe? I doubt it's the drive. Probably just the shoddy enclosure.

>buy basic mp3 player so I can ditch the smart phone and still listen to music
none of the mp3s I get have any tags/metadata so the player's ability to sort by artist, genre, year, etc, is crippled. Is there a way to automatically connect to imdb equivalent for music? I googled it, but it was all like mass applying tags and not automatically looking up.

>>107988225
It's really the IO count not the age. I've seen 30yo HDDs still work.

>>107988376
Use Picard

>>107988343

depending operating system might unmount before hdd spindown not sure about that

I am looking for a cli screenshot utility that let's me use the keyboard to define the region.

Currently I use slurp | grim but slurp is mouse driven.

I have a shitty usb enclosure from aliexpress desu
>>107988497
I use arch. I think it happens when it's not used for X hours. I disabled USB autosuspend in grub "usbcore.autosuspend=-1". Lets see.

FUCK YEAH it's PERFECT! Thanks!

Is there any differences between copying an already installed game from Windows and pasting it into Linux and then playing it via Lutris/Steam and installing a Windows game from Linux via Lutris/Steam and then playing it?

>>107989106
Depends on game. Some games don't need entries in the windows registry hive, those would run fine if copied over. If they do however require registry entries, they would have to be installed using the installer.
