You could have used the force-render setting in mpv, also.

Wow, perfect timing on a new thread for me.

I vaguely remember that it is easy to set up X11 to run a program on one machine while displaying the output on a completely different machine's monitor. But that was on my university's little networked cluster of Sun workstations.

How difficult is it to do this over intercontinental range, with say a VPS at a datacenter in Europe, displaying the output of Firefox on a computer in my bedroom in Chicago? My internet connection is via T-Mobile mobile phone internet, BTW, so I don't get a dedicated IP (but I can look up what my current IP address and tell the remote machine what it is when I telnet into it).

Is just having the current IP address enough, or would that only get as far as my cellphone and not get forwarded into my actual computer?

Every "reason" to not use Ubuntu 25.10 can be dismissed.
>I don't like snaps!
Then uninstall snapd. I've done it on Ubuntu, it's easy.
>I don't like GNOME!
Then install a different DE from the repos. Again, this is easy.
>Ubuntu's drivers aren't new enough for gaming!
Wrong. 25.10 is pretty recent and its drivers are new enough for gaming.
>Ubuntu 26.04 is out soon!
Okay, so upgrade when it's released.
>I don't like Canonical because they put some Amazon software into Ubuntu some years ago!
That Amazon thing is not in Ubuntu anymore. Ubuntu these days is very widely used so I think it's trustworthy.

It is therefore clear that Ubuntu 25.10 is currently the best distro for beginners. Advanced users can try other things, but Ubuntu just works.

Typical desktop USB-polled peripherals & display has more "latency" than sending a packet around the globe, it's a more complex question really about how X11 does network transport.

>>108477972
>Every "reason" to not use Ubuntu 25.10 can be dismissed.
The main reason is that I have no reason at all to do the QA for canonical. 25.10 is just a test for the upcoming 26.04 LTS anyway.

>Then uninstall snapd.
And don't get the software that is snap-only these days. Might not be so easy for everyone.

>That Amazon thing is not in Ubuntu anymore.
And it's not even the only time they tried to do some dogshit crazy bullshit and hat to paddle back due to community outlash.

If they've had such a major security flaw in the past then I don't think they take security as seriously as other distros. Therefore I don't want to take a risk.

but for the Y answer, there's no need to run a remote browser, just run ssh with a dynamic forward (like "-D8080") and set your local firefox to use localhost:8080 as a SOCKS proxy (tick proxy DNS as well if required). this will let you use the remote internet ip with your local browser. sites can't detect socks proxies if you're concerned about that

>>108478101
Yes. Canonical originally made it for IoT devices but then realized that people don't really want to use Snaps, so later they pushed it out to desktops.
The main reason why people seem to hate it more is literally just because Snaps are centralized and Canonical hasn't made the server (snapstore backend) open source. So it's mostly just hated by crazy evangelists. Normal people don't really care and they'll use a Snap package if that's the first thing that's prioritized by the big "Install" button in their app store.

>>108478202
>So it's mostly just hated by crazy evangelists
Uhh, sure.

>>108478202
It is also an always-on daemon running as root which leads to security vulnerabilities.

I want to play around with hyprland but I don't really care to install a VM just to do so. I'd rather be able to use it with all the software I have installed now. Is it all right if I have both KDE and Hyprland installed? I should just be able to switch between them on the greeter screen, right?

Conclusion: Debian stable is safe, but OpenSUSE Tumbleweed is more risky because you're using bleeding-edge software which could be released before problems are discovered.

>>108478352
>which could be released before problems are discovered.
The same goes for debian stable. It's not that uncommon that something gets discovered that was in the code for like 10 years already. No sort of delay is really going to protect you from problems before they are discovered. You may get fixes before the problem hits you by delaying (like in xz case) but you also may not get fixes for something yet undiscovered which isn't in upstream anymore due to some refactoring or whatever, without being discovered. In the end, it's just plain dumb luck

>>108478101
People had all sort of performance issues with it. The most common one was that it'd silently install a snap version of Firefox with the same command they used in the past to install the native version of it, and it'd stutter a lot.
People didn't know they were using the snap version and lost quite a bit of time on it trying to figure out the issue.

>>108479156
After starting the game, it didn't take any controls for some reason. No reaction to mouse or keyboard input. Didn't try long to troubleshoot it, just went back to using my own scripts. Might try again in the future at some point, though I currently don't really see the advantage over calling the proton runner directly.

Been using Fedora KDE since the beginning of the year and everything was good for a while but now I have this problem where sometimes when I log in via SDDM it takes very long to load the desktop and after it has loaded I can use it for maybe a minute before it kicks me back to login screen and at that point even if I try to log back in it just freezes.
Probably related to nvidia driver update from a few days ago, the only way for me to get around this is just rebooting multiple times until eventually it lets me log in normally without delay and without kicking me out after. Tried looking at journalctl but there's like 900 million lines in there and I'm too inexperienced to know what to look for and if I filter errors only I don't really see anything that obvious. There's

kwin_wayland[2264]: Applying output configuration failed!

To make sure specific fixes for games get loaded in you need to add the Steam ID of the game you're playing to the GAMEID variable as "umu-[id]"so it patches it with the correct protontricks fixes. Plus make sure you have a Proton-GE runner installed to your system, either manually or with something like ProtonUp/-Qt

>>108479399
There is no fix for that game and Proton runner was up and running, it works outside of umu just fine. And like, the game did run, but that's kinda pointless if you can't control it.

>>108479431
I find that hard to believe but okay.

I know he is arguing in bad faith but Xubuntu was hit with a script kiddy attack that swapped the distro iso with a .exe to prey on users who were switching over from windows.
It ultimately was more about website security and improper penetration tests (if any where done at all), but as Linux slowly gets more market share expect more of these types of attacks to happen.

ssh by itself can act as a socks proxy. i posted an example argument for it. here's a more complete command to make it clearer;

ssh user@server -D8080

you can add it to your ssh config instead if you just want it as a default when connecting to that server.
ssh's network forwarding support (both dynamic and local) are really powerful features anyone with a vps should be familiar with

>>108480538

Why the fuck would I put up with canonical's bullshit when I can just... not do it?
Fedora works, Manjaro and other simplified arch-based distros work, debian-based distros work.
It's legitimately not fucking hard. So I'll ask again, tell me something legitimately remarcable that Canonical offers besides what I've just said earlier.

Seagate drives are absolute dogshit. Every Seagate I have owned (two that I bought personally, one that was in a company laptop) has failed catastrophically and unrecoverably. Published failure stats bear this out. I remember one paper which showed that Seagate had a 14% first-year failure rate in one series of drives. That's one out of every seven drives catastrophically failing within the first year. Most other companies are down around 3%.

Contrast that to literally every other drive I've ever owned (except one, see end of this paragraph), which failed in a totally recoverable manner (apparently the motor magnets weakened over time so the drives wouldn't maintain speed; all data was still readable and could be copied off, the drives just constantly stalled and had to spin themselves back up while the copies completed). Note that I am NOT including the drive I accidentally dropped eight feet onto a tile floor while it was running, that was an understandable massive crash impact that destroyed it pretty much instantly.

Friends don't let friends use Seagate. EVER.

>>108480989

Arch is linux from scratch lite.
So it attracks the kind of people who over design their own rice, or blindly download someone else’s over designed rice *cough* manjaro *cough*
As long as you keep it simple it basically never breaks.

>>108478013
outside manjaro being conflated onto arch, the only time arch "breaks" isn't because arch. its because it doesn't matter how thorough you test a new package, there are an infinite number on combinations. infinite number of edge cases. since arch is rolling release, you always get the latest packages from upstream. nothing is tested in the "stood the test of time." if upstream breaks something, people blame arch instead of upstream.
the actual times arch developers themselves broke something, very rare. manjaro was the source of nearly all of those issues and because its arch based, retards blamed arch instead of the manjaro developers.

I switched to Artix from Arch. Pretty decent barebones little OS. I really wish they got rid of their disgusting kde theme, though. Just put your logo on it dunno why everyone needs some special theme. dinit works well I honestly thought getting rid of systemd was going to be a fucking hassle with apps but it just kind of works. Set up zswap all is smooth. I am happy camper and I don't need to worry about poetniggers faggot bloatware anymore.

>>108478013
like everyone says it's not arch, it's people that cannot control themselves downloading everything they see under the sun from the aur without ever attempting to actually maintenance their install (which is like 2-3 commands you type in every once in a awhile and deleting configs or something)

whats the "correct" way to make my user have full control of a partition?

>>108482709
The UBO devs/filter list makers are in a constant battle with Youtube's anti content blocker shit. Sometimes they get a win and videos load quickly for days until Youtube does something and now you're waiting like 5/10 seconds for the video to start again. You just gotta live with it.

>>108482932
>partition
You mean a filesystem? Simply change the ownership to your user. As in chown as root assumed the filesystem in question supports ownerships. If it's FAT or something you mount it with appropriate UID/GID options.
>>108482763

>>108482932
you can make a udev rule to permanently affect permissions of a partition file or other device node file

>>108483024
that is /not/ normal behaviour. i've never seen this and i've used systemd since 2012.
the same thing only working "sometimes" suggests it could be a hardware problem or perhaps a race condition (unlikely as systemd is particularly good at avoiding those compared to what it replaced)

>>108483024
I really don't think that's a systemd issue, this is a red flag that something is actually wrong. You might want to troubleshoot that, bud. My hard drive was failing pretty badly recently and it gave me a lot of serious warnings like that. I couldn't even boot into bios consistently until I figured I would just unplug the dying drive then all was good. Now my issue is not your issue all I'm saying is you should consider it's not just systemd being a piece of shit.

>>108483043
I don't have another Linux init to test on this PC now but Windows (10) has never failed to boot so I doubt it could be anything too bad with hardware. I don't boot it very often after moving to Fedora though. If it keeps happening I will try something else and see if there are any problems.

Genuinely wonder why more devs don't release appimages. It's my most preferred way to run software after package manager. And in some cases I prefer them over installing from package manager because it's easier to be on the excact version you want to be on. Flatpaks and snaps seem dumb by comparison.

>>108477972
Is Ubuntu *really* so bad now, or is there a paid shill campaign to force people away from it?

I basically want Windows, but with maximum performance, no telemetry and freedom from Jeets. I’ve narrowed my search down to Fedora/KDE or Kubuntu.

>>108483111
Seriously, appimages are a godsend they completely mog flatpak and snap. I just keep a little folder that stores them and the launcher just adds them to it automatically and makes a little desktop entry for me. Simple as double clicking and simple as pressing delete. From a users perspective it's perfect.

>>108483113
Fedora is leagues better than Kubuntu, imo but I'm biased heavily against any debian based OS so take that as it be as I use Arch, btw.

so i mounted a partition to a folder my user owns but after mouning it the permissions show dr-xr-xr-x
why do i have write permissions before mounting it but afterwards it changes them?

Hey people, anyone using a HDMI switcher out there?
eg
> two sources one monitor HDMI switch
One is a headless server (that I actually need to switch to every once in a while),
The other is my main PC, Arch with AMD GPU
for some reason the main PC only gives me blank screen when going through the switcher, whether I start with it or plug in later, any advice?

>>108483113
One vote for Fedora KDE. Just look up how to enable rpmfusion and install codecs and it's the most Windows-like Linux distro imo. Linus Torvalds himself likes to use Fedora.
Some people consider Red Hat involvement a negative since a for-profit organization going near FOSS can be a red flag but honestly Fedora has been around for ages at this point and having a ton of people with a real incentive to make a good OS (upstream of a commercial product) is not a bad thing and if something actually jewish ever happens then at that point you can easily move to a new distro. Once you get the basics of Linux down you can honestly always just move to something else. If you use the same desktop environment the learning curve will be minimal, even with a few distro specific quirks it's still Linux.

>>108482951

There isn't. Like I said you just gotta wait until the UBO team catches up with the new backend changes, and again when Youtube patches them.

>>108483155
My hdmi switcher seems to have a similar weird issue like that. It doesn't seem to want to show the screen unless I'm switched to said source while it's shut down and then power it on. Then it will switch fine. If I try to switch to it after it's powered on it just won't show anything. I'm not sure if you're also trying to switch to it before powering it on or not, but that could be it if that's what you've been doing. If you're on it, switch, and then switch back and it's doing that then I'm not sure. I feel as if it is a weird Linux issue because I don't think I had this problem with Windows PCs and my Nintendo Switch, but I haven't really kept track since I haven't really used either lately.

>>108483463
HDMI switchers are often shit. I gave up on my chink one when it kept winking on and off at random times. This was on Windows. I think the protocol and drm shit is stateful and filled with hacks.
I wish I had a better answer than to just use different inputs on your monitor

>>108483463
No I haven't been able to get a input at all from my desktop, the switch doesn't have a "power" toggle for whatever it means
I'm guessing (and also chatgpt's guess), that it has to do with edid info from the monitor back to my graphics card,
that or resolution issues,
like the monitor is 1080p@75hz, but I also the PC switches back and forth on boot

>>108483516
>HDMI switchers are often shit.
It sounds like it. I got an anker one after looking through reviews of several on Amazon and it still seemed to have quite a few negative ones where people said it just didn't want to work properly. I have it working all right for the most part. Just a little annoying with that one issue.

>>108483518
>the switch doesn't have a "power" toggle for whatever it means
I don't mean the switch itself, I meant the PC itself. If I have one of the hdmi cables connected to a pc that's turned off, turn it on before switching to, the monitor will just go into standby mode when I try to switch to that pc. I have to switch to the pc before turning the pc on. Then it will show the screen. Sometimes restarting the PC too works, and then I can switch fine.
Though between my main PC, in which said monitor is just a secondary, it's the secondary Dell PC that I've set up as a media server using Debian. Could be a thing with the Dell pc, Debian, or X11 instead of the hdmi switcher itself. Could also be the monitor itself since it's some cheap 1080p Asus monitor that I think also only puts out 75hz. Once that PC is up and running it seems to be fine. I haven't gone too far to troubleshoot it as it's more of a slight inconvenience rather than an issue.

>>108483154
because you mounted "over" another folder. when you mount to a folder the folder takes on the properties of the root of the volume being mounted. or put another way, the mountpoint can't influence the permissions of the mounted volume

>>108483573
I see, I tried that at first, PC off with switch on, and didn't have any input either
dunno if its a BIOS thing but it seems like PC will not go will not go with the boot process if doesn't have a monitor plugged in, at least that's happening with the tabletop "headless" server
Or then again, it could be something with the boot loader, I have rEFInd and never setup for it to start with native resolution from the get go,
I think KVM should be working though

>>108483626

desu, rEFInd is because of ancient reason, where I had dualboot on an old iMac
its a bit nicer than grub, but afaik it shouldn't be too different
KVM might be an issue

>>108483980
I'm going with the other anon and saying it's the motherboard. Some people say the mobo matters the least compared to the other components when it comes to Linux, but I've seen other people have issues with Linux when it comes to Asrock mobos. I'm sure they all have issues at some point though. You probably don't need to bother since Fedora worked, but you might check for bios updates. Which might sound odd if you've used a PC for the past few decades as updating the bios wasn't much of a thing. But like anything these days everything apparently needs them. Though at least with mobos it's more of an "update when you run into an issue" kind of deal. Iirc when I was reading the bios update for my new mobo I thought I read something about Linux compatibility somewhere.

A Dell pc I have Debian installed has some weird issue with installing Debian. You could install it, but it wouldn't boot up into Debian. There was a bug in the motherboard itself for that model. Had to boot up the Debian live media and go into grub rescue option to get it to boot. It was only Debian too. Or at least with the other few distros I tried to check my sanity, which were all Debian/Ubuntu flavors. Didn't try a Arch or Fedora distro, but the issue was there. So sometimes the motherboard can be the issue as well.

>>108484003
its ntfs
so yeah i guess no unix permissions

>>108484060
ext4 is fine but if you want more features go with btrfs, they're both stable atp

>>108484069
>but afaik it shouldn't be too different
You'd be surprised.
https://wiki.cachyos.org/installation/boot_managers/
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_boot_process#Boot_loader

If you're willing, you might try grub and see if that fixes the issue. But switching boot loaders can be a pain, so you'd probably want to back up everything or see if you can throw in a different hard drive and just quickly install Arch using grub and see where that gets you. You might check your motherboard settings too.

>>108484060
ext4 is the go to but btrfs has features like snapshots.

>>108484115
usecase for shooting snaps?

>>108484122
so you can unshoot them if you decided it wasn't a snap you wanted to shoot. or undoing changes that might have screwed up your system. i've never used them. it sounds more ideal for more delicate systems or if you're someone who rices a lot.

desu i'd go for ext4 in most cases unless you're wanting things like snapshots(which you can do with ext4 with lvms) data checksumming and those other data integrity stuff btrfs offers

sure, go with ext4 unless you like snapshots, data integrity, subvolumes, reflinks, integrated incremental backups to remote filesystems, the most flexible multi-device/raid support available, not needing fsck on boot, and other features.

Boot options. Look for something related to pressing F1, in which that may all you need to do. Usually motherboards have some options to where if an error occurs it will wait for you to press F1 before continuing.

If you want UEFI, then when partitioning create the /boot/efi partition (~500M-1G) and place it at the beginning of the disk and then do the same process.

Works on every Windows. GRUB is good at detecting other OSs, Windows can't do that, that's why Windows has to go first.

Or if your new/learning. Timeshift gets shit on a lot for using a lot of storage space but keep in mind that these are usually from more experienced users who can safely drive without snapshots. It's great training wheels for new people. I can't really think of any other use for it.

What if you don't separate the two?

>>108485071
Perfectly fine not to, in fact that's preferred if you want to have snapshots in your home directory too, for example, I have snapshots of my ~/.config directory so I can diff configs over time or revert to an older config.

Just make sure your /home is its own subvolume. Most distros will set things up like that.

>>108485430
>I have snapshots of my ~/.config directory so I can diff configs over time or revert to an older config.
Using git seems like a more reasonable choice

>>108485453
But then you have to write a script to add the files and commit each change. Its way more efficient to do it at the filesystem level. I'm not looking to version control them, just to see how the configs change over time and have the option to rollback.

You run commands as root by writing sudo before commands. Like to update programs and such you would do "sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade" in the terminal.

Dude you live in the age of AI. Let me do it for you


How do i run a program as an administrator in linux mint?

Running a program “as administrator” in Linux Mint means running it with root (superuser) privileges. The most common way is using sudo.

1. Run a command as administrator (terminal)
Open the terminal and type:

sudo your-command
Example:

sudo apt update
It will ask for your password (your user password, not a separate root password).

2. Run a graphical application as administrator
For GUI apps, use:

sudo -H your-app
Example:

sudo -H nemo
However, this is not always recommended for GUI apps because it can cause permission issues.

A safer method is:

pkexec your-app
Example:

pkexec nemo
3. Run a script as administrator
If you have a script:

sudo ./script.sh
4. Open a root shell (be careful)
If you need multiple admin commands:

sudo -i
or

sudo su
This gives you a root shell until you exit.

Important tips
Be careful with sudo — it gives full system control.

Only run commands you trust.

Avoid running entire GUI sessions as root unless absolutely necessary.

If you tell me what program you’re trying to run, I can give you the exact command

Alright this is the last time we spoonfeed you.

open your file manager, err, file browser and either hit right click and use "open terminal" or whatever is similar. If it doesn't has that option then check the "tools" or whatever menu near the titlebar that looks similar and find the option for opening the terminal there.
Then that should open the terminal on the same folder in which the file manager was opened in. Write "sudo './(name of your file)' and that's it.

Altough gonna be real with you in linux if you use sudo and then you run shit that doesn't comes from a repo eventually you won't end up shooting your own foot, you gonna straight up blow it up. Excersice a fuckton of caution while using sudo (which basically means "do the following as admin")

>>108487712
yeah, it's fucking bleak. As I sorta implied, politics have flooded this shithole, which isn't necesarily bad, but the issue is that dumbfuck, unrelated and poorly thought out philosophies flooded the FLOSS community.
The only sort of places that tend to be free from politics are highly technical repos, or repos that focus overtly on their development philosophy (suckless, for example). Also BSD tends to focus on software development and they don't tend to fuck around.
In general if they got time to spare, if they use it for developing harder then it's safe, else it's going to devolve into a shitfest.

CachyOS's official twitter account also went full pro age verification and called everyone who disagreed heckin radicals and nazis.

>>108488475
I switched to Artix because of this. Found out that... I really like it and it wasn't hard to set up zswap myself.

>>108480041
A lot of distros and FOSS projects were normal but they got infiltrated and all of the good developers got attacked, harassed, and forcibly exiled.
Consider also that troons tend to be (((funded))) and artificially promoted to higher positions, as well as few friends or good IRL relationships/hobbies, so naturally they have more free time and money to contribute to FOSS, while more level-headed people have lives and jobs outside of software, so they can't contribute as much.

>>108488262
>clips that have gone to far
Crazy to think that this is grammatically correct. The idiot editor probably thinks that's how people say it.

>>108488475
Shid i am on cachy...
Is it too late to switch to artix?

>>108488646
>Is it too late to switch to artix?
A lot of people are switching to artix. Their servers are getting hammered. It works for me fine but I see a lot of people having issues. Probably outside my region.

>>108480041
(((Lunduke))) made one he whitelisted devuan, artix, omarchy, and the bsds
Also has a weird obsession with openmadriva

what do people use to customize their terminals

>>108488715
zsh

>>108488715
They edit their terminal apps dotfiles

>>108488715
PS1 variable and Readline config

>>108488505
zswap is not the default for cachyos.
zswap is the default for most everything else, and you shouldn't use it if you're using zram, which cachy probably has enabled since that's default on base arch kernels.

>>108488762
base arch default config is zswap, not zram, if you decide to have a swap partition.

>>108488782
yeah it's just a kernel parameter though, and if that's inadvertently left on with zram then there's probably a lot of wasted compression/decompression happening

>update cachy
>hdmi audio not working anymore
Any ideas? I already tried restarting pipewire and wireplumber. My headphones still work but I'm not getting anything from my speakers (hdmi>tv>avr)

>>108488822
Yeah here's an idea. Use Debian or Ubuntu because they just work, instead of using some meme flavour-of-the-month distro which is bound to break.

>>108488852
or just skip the middle man and use arch

>>108488822
do you happen to have nvidia by any chance?

>>108488852
No

>>108488864
No, amd

>>108488862
Was on arch before cachy. I overall like the defaults and qol so I haven't felt much of an urge to go back.

i love void so much
arch trannies will never know this feel

>>108488889
i know you are but what am i

>>108488820
>and if that's inadvertently left on with zram
I don't think it lets you do that but I'm not positive. Pretty sure zswap takes precedence.

>>108488475
Where?
From what I read (on their forum) they haven't taken a stance yet.

damn
For a long time I've used KDE Debian stable w/ onboard Vega 8 graphics (r7-5700G) and I just swapped to r5-5600X + RX 6700XT under KDE Arch and holy fuck the difference is night and day, the overall system feels smooth as butter

>>108488949
Bro, it's the very first post in the General section of their forum.

Why so defensive? I was just asking for elaboration.
You don't seem very mentally stable. Not everyone's out there to attack you, you know.

>>108489065

I'm not the one sperging out over being asked where he got his information from, just saying.

>>108489102
All I did was call you out on your dishonesty, as you claimed the forum had no information yet the very first post of the forum had the information. The logical conclusion is that either you are a fucking retard who can't read, or you are a disingenuous fuck trying to run defense for them.
And then, because I preemptively exposed what you were going to do, you proceeded to hurl a bunch of personal attacks like a seething tranny.
Anyways, no further point in wasting time with you.

>>108489152
I interpreted it differently from you, it seems. I just saw it as a neutral stance and them not wanting to have to moderate all of it, especially considering the guy who made the systemd PR was being doxxed and harassed.
>The logical conclusion is that either you are a fucking retard who can't read, or you are a disingenuous fuck trying to run defense for them.
I can read it just fine and my conclusion is what I stated above. If you disagree that's fine. But I don't think you should immediately become hostile at the mere possibility of an opinion that does not agree with you.
>And then, because I preemptively exposed what you were going to do, you proceeded to hurl a bunch of personal attacks like a seething tranny.
No? I was just questioning why you became all defensive when all I did was ask a simple question.
>personal attacks
What?
>Anyways, no further point in wasting time with you.
I accept your concession, retard-kun.

>developer is a transexual
>the official discord for the mod has LGBT roles, LGBT flag icon, even a channel dedicated to "world-events" which actually is just a politics channel for bashing trump in a similar way you'd see in reddit
its nauseating how common this is, but i think its specially rampant in USA

These people are weak and easy to pressure, it goes from a "why arent you banning that guy who said a mean word, im gonna make a veil threat of cancellation" to "why arent you setting the discord icon to a pride flag? dont you support LGTB issues"
and wether one is a true believer or just a weasel who goes along, many fall in line and push or allow this

and as with most of these postulates, the default position is "what will make me look like the best person possible to the average retarded NPC from the mindless masses" and thats what many of these people default to or even develop into a cult-like belief made up of mahy of these "correct" positions. And when they're terminally online they get a completelly distorted view of what the average person is and may think that being a transexual race communist is the "good guy" position

>>108488715
WM config files to remove shitty parts of windows (aka the nasty title bar), .bashrc to change default behaviours of bash to make it comfier to use and maybe to make it prettier, compositor configs maybe for transparency or matte/blur.
Altough when people flex their terminal it's often a slightly modified fetch-type script (often it's neofetch, with the rare ufetch prompt for minimalist rices), heavily modified vim, heavily modified cmus, maybe a modified ranger or a slightly tweaked tmux.

>>108488047
Not GNU/Linux related but w/e.
I'm an atheist but frankly it's almost as if God played a prank on us for our arrogance. The very moment we started showing compassion as we were on our way outside of the brutality of the modern era it was inmediately subverted by a horde of narcisistic, hedonistic and spineless post-modern "minds" that insist on building their disgusting philosophy that is devoid of any and all kind of robust foundations, basically making a societal house of cards and forcing everyone else to respect it and bend to it's will.
And because the average normie has no spine and becasue they haven't handled this problem thoroughly with the needed thought because of the risk of being ostracised they just fold in an attempt of showing what they believe is decency, civility and compassionate behaviour while they don't realize that they are enabling a societal collapse of the greatest calibre.
Science-based institutions were our only way of trascending human limits imposed by emotions and biological capabilities and ultimately said emotions prevailed, because ironically, we were too humane.

I have half a mind to try NixOS. Can't really be that hard, right?

It's a file indexer and a powerful one at that, it doesn't just read and index the filenames but actually looks at the contents of the file too. Doing that requires a fair amount of RAM. I always disable the file indexer as I don't want or need it.

>>108490167
On my Windows machines Firefox instances appear as multiple processes.

>I always disable the file indexer as I don't want or need it.
im new to kde, im from xfce. so how do I do that?

>>108490201
The task manager is hiding the threads. If you run

pstree -p $(pgrep -x firefox)

you will see them.

>>108490204
Just search for indexer or something like that in the settings. There may also be a Search page, etc.

Yeaaaahhhhh ima just gonna..... Download Pikaos, Niri isn't for me and my refresh rate keeps resetting. Maybe in an alternate timeline I'm some fat fucking troonix chud I'll use niri.

don't know if this is the right place to ask but
is there a way to change where the runelite app image puts the .runelite folder. i want it on an ssd that has all my games on it not where the OS is installed, or is it possible for me to just move the entire folder onto a different drive with no problems

>>108477718
Started this year using Fedora on everything. Been happy.

>>108490384
Go with librewolf instead. But you'll have to change a setting that deletes all your history once you close the browser. Unless you like that. They might have removed that as default as well., but double check.

>>108491128

I don't think Niri looks like a Mac. Unless you mean some other DE. Anyway PikaOS uses Debian Sid, but it does do things a little differently. I've been considering testing it myself, but it's rather new.

Thinking about switching from cachyos to nix. Thoughts?

~/.runelite? Not sure if you can change that but you can obviously link ~/.runelite elsewhere. (have no idea whether symbolic or hard link is better)
