Would I be considered a paranoid freak if I usred Tails? Is Tails really that secure? Anyone here try Tails? How is it?

Is 8GB ram enough to test distros on VirtualBox without a problem?

>>108680792
The issue with all the hardcore security OSes and browsers is that they are very often too paranoid for daily use. Unless you really have reasons to hide your online presence from the world, don't bother - you'll be searching for more convienent options pretty much immediately.

>>108680792
It's designed to prevent information leaks not so much be secure. Tor only gives most people enough rope to hang themselves, and Tails functions as lane bumpers to force them toward semi-reasonable practices. Security comes from understanding your software stack and threat model. It's not a magic ritual that grows more powerful by adding random inconveniences.

About to try out a new Linux Distro after being on Mint for a while. I haven't documented any changes I have made (DNS, hotkeys, settings etc.). Is there a way to look at everything I have changed so that I can make a backup?

Thunar has been crashing a lot for me recently so I've been trying out other file managers. A weird thing I've encountered is that if you open a file using any other file manager, it doesn't set the current directory as the working directory. I've found out that Thunar's behavior here is a XFCE quirk because it uses exo-open instead of xdg-open. I'm bewildered that this isn't how everything else works and I'm really not sure why this is the case.

>What are some ways of setting it up like a pro? Using NFS on Linux-to-Linux applications because I'm clueless with SMB/CIFS.
you set it up in your fstab or with a systemd mount unit. when you access a share through your file manager you're mounting it in userspace instead of using the faster, mature kernel drivers.

Can I really not make a bridge connection with NetworkManager without deleting the original wired connection? I've tried setting it up. I got it conencted, but it doesn't actually connect to the internet. I've just disabled the original. I somehow doubt that's the problem though.

Whatever settings your internet-connected physical Ethernet device had: apply it to the bridge, stuff should just work.

I've achtually done those network schemes forever, idea being that I can arbitrarily turn any PC to a NAT'able Wi-Fi router on a whim. It's also nice to have the bridge case I want to join a virtual machine to the physical net.

The closest thing to a real counter culture move in Linux is Gentoo. Because the shit actually works and has purpose behind it other than new thing bad.

Neat thanks. Should be part of default DE imho, but this is cool piece of software.

>>108685200
The default is more flexible in my opinion because you define the zones and splits however you want.

Just press Meta+T to change how the splits look and then hold Shift when dragging a windows titlebar. You can then even go back to Meta+T and re-arrange things and it'll adjust the windows to match.

I also used to wish for Windows 11-like snapping but after getting used to the tiling feature I think I prefer it.

The thing is one could just have the network initially set up like that. Having a bridge doesn't hurt even if you don't need it but when you do it's nice it's there.
>want to turn your system to a Wi-Fi access point
>simply add the wireless device to the bridge

Obviously this adds some networking bloat when not needed but just saying.

I'm just a little autistic pls understand. I was also afraid of deleting it, the bridge not working, and then I'd have to figure out how to setup the network since it was ready to go once Linux was installed. Dealing with networking related issues has never been my forte.

I tried going back and forth with an AI on it but it was inconclusive. Something about missing some Tracker packages for systemd or GNOME, and the rest I frankly couldn't interpret because I'm a non-technical user.

sshfs seems to crash somehow when dealing with big transfer or lots of files. Also don't want/need encryption. Definitely don't want to incorporate an user account for the file transfer as the server only has root account and these files in question aren't exactly private or anything.

I keep coming across this meme that Linux Mint is a great choice for putting on grandpa's computer so he won't fuck shit up. Is this true? Like how safe is it really? I was thinking of putting it on my dad's aging laptop which still runs W10 so I can stop being his personal tech support.
But is it really safe? Like can he do his emails, taxes, home banking and shit on it without his data being pwned by Nigerian princes? Keep in mind this man once managed to install ransomware on the family computer back in the W7 days by clicking on a porn ad or something.

>>108686445

That's a hard question to ask because while Mint is very similar to Win10 there are small differences that to the techtarded are extremely confusing or confounding. You might find yourself being called more often to be their personal IT guy until they get used to it. Does your Dad actually learn new things or are they like my parents where when something breaks or doesn't work, they just give up, run to me, and I teach them how to fix it (its almost only 1 of 5 of the same problems) and they continue on with their day until they can't do something again. This has been going on for 2 decades for me, 2 decades of me trying to teach them how to use the smart tv, 2 decades of me trying to teach them how to online print. Nothing has changed since then, they aren't on new hardware, they aren't on new OSes, the smart tv hasn't been replaced or had major updates, same with the printer. They are just incapable of learning it for some reason, and if that is the case just keep him on win10 or let him upgrade to win11 because installing Mint for them is going to be frustrating to both you and him.

I kinda like the older caveman linux systems, they don't have this problem and in a world where having a massive security flaw open for a week could mean all the difference between getting data mined or not, that's fucking terrifying.

You either have found a hole in the dependencies of swayimg on debian/ubuntu or you are using it wrong. Chances are you are, indeed, on X11. post a neofetch or soemthing so we can laugh at you.

>>108687412
Rust has been in the kernel for a while now, what kind of stupid security flaw are you even tlaking about and why do you think it's related?

>>108687529
They rewrote the utilities and basically shipped it only to later find 60 security flaws in 1 day's worth of work.

>>108687513
Oh, I actually didn't know it was called X11 all of a sudden Xorg makes sense now, I'm used to people just calling it a tradition/layered window system.

>>108687543
that's coreutils, not kernel.

>>108687564
What makes you think that there might not be security flaws in the kernel? Wasn't there one found recently?

>>108687555
Xorg was the only remaining implementation for the X11 window system for a long time, until Xlibre forked off last year.
Anyway, swayimg not working is not really its fault here. Unless you start a wayland compositor inside your X11 session (I really wouldn't do that for an imageviewer as there are plenty of other options not needing that) or switch DE it won't work.

uuuughh release m'lady *tips fedora* 44 already

>>108687601
There are dozens of security flaws found in the kernel like every week. It's not really related to a specific language though, and if that causes you to not be able to sleep at night you can't use computers these days. Kernel CVEs are nuts.

>>108687603
I'm switching to Sway at some point, I also like how I can run an emulation of sway within X11, all I need to do is sit down and to the tutorial for it.

>>108687639
well, then you can come back to it after you switch or get it running within X11

Everyone always forgets about the firmware. Ubuntu (and by extension Mint) never updates that even though AMD occasionally uploads new firmware all the time.

>>108688082
Not true. Mint is based on Ubuntu 24.04 with HWE so it has the 6.17 kernel, released on september 2025, i.e. 8 months ago. So any hardware released before that should work without issues on Mint.
I don't know where this "Mint only works with old hardware"" myth comes from.

Well they fix stuff too. Better to give people the choice of having the updates but with the ability to roll them back if they break in my opinion.
This is why immutable distributions are definitely the future. Just ship the new shit and if the entire house burns on fire and falls apart then you still have that old image to fall back on.

Yeah, "should". But just because a kernel is released in September 2025 doesn't mean it supports hardware released the month before that. It takes time for drivers to be pushed into the kernel and it takes time for issues to be ironed out.
>I don't know where this "Mint only works with old hardware"" myth comes from.
September 2025 was almost a year ago.

>>108688189
>sad how reddit is a better source of help
They didn't help him. They probably told him to add a 3rd party mesa PPA which will inevitably break his distro in the future. Actual help would be telling him to just use Bazzite or CachyOS.

Even though it's way better than AMD's windows drivers, amdgpu is quite problematic with certain GPUs and they have been introducing quite a lot of regressions lately. mainline kernel broke resume from suspend for me (as in driver crashing and not recovering) and remained broken for a good chunk of 2025, meanwhile LTS worked just fine, only very recently they patched it up

Seems like over the past 20 years, desktop UI across the board have been doing UI elements bigger and bigger due to the increase of pixels per inch in computer monitors

you aren't going to the answer but its most likely gnome or xfce if you are looking for minmalistic, simple, and out of your way. xfce is highly customizable and you can make it look pretty so don't let the default setting scare you off if its ugly. It's also very modular.

I personally have fun with it and I've learned a lot about how things work over the years by putting myself through it. I used to have to nuke a system and reinstall from scratch whenever something mildly complex broke, but now I don't think there's anything I can't recover from. And breakages like this are pretty rare, usually the system is rock solid and could have infinite uptime if not for nvidia.
I should point out the problem isn't really gentoo, it's me trying to stick to an older kernel and pre-rust software as much as I can. Being chud is hard life.

Any cool icon themes for a dark overall theme but with yellow folders?

an excerpt from an nmap scan of my own network, IP, and machine I just made with
$ nmap -v [ip]

Completed Connect Scan at 21:00, 0.01s elapsed (1000 total ports)

Host is up (0.000028s latency).
All 1000 scanned ports on user (ip) are in ignored states.
Not shown: 1000 closed tcp ports (conn-refused)

So it didn't see the ports as closed but ignored scanning them anyway. Why? I am not saying they should appear closed, but am curious what state they are in to be ignored, or is that just my scan and may not be what others see if they scan for my IP?

Why won't wayland-tards implement lanczos filtering after the upscaling/downscaling of the desktop instead of SHITTY bicubic

>>108691073
OK, so I now realize I misread and they actually are labelled as closed. Does different versions of nmap or my distro have anything to do with why the closed port is written as "ignored" or is it stemming from a different way of having been closed?

Anybody a theme wiz? Pretty much everything on my system is in dark mode except the file chooser that Firefox opens, which is apparently the Gnome one (yes, Firefox itself is dark). I've always just lived with it, but the sheer untouchability of it is like a taunt to my face every time I save a file.
I'm using Arch, Wayland (via Sway), and with no DE. The Mozilla dark theme set up on Firefox, which isn't a flatpak or anything. For both GTK 3 and 4, I have settings.ini with "gtk-theme=Adwaita-dark" and "gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme=true". My .bash_profile exports "GTK_THEME=Adwaita:dark". I have xdg-desktop-portal and xdg-desktop-portal-gtk.

How it's going:
Compiz runs, the effects work, but framerate is poor and there's tearing out the ass (expected for anything running on X I guess)
The border looks almost right, but the font color is wrong, the corners are wrong and the buttons are not handled correctly (difficult to click)
The panel applets shipped with MATE behave differently (see the show desktop button and workspace switcher). The session indicator is missing altogether. Also no shadow on the panels.
MATE uses GTK3 now and the murrine theme engine never got ported to it so UI elements lack the glossy look.
Buttons have icons regardless of setting.
Some apps shipped with MATE use wrong icons.

didn't you say before that it's a vm? i might be mistaken as i'm not really following all your posts.
if it's a VM or otherwise has no accelerated video driver, then you could expect this from something like compiz, as the opengl will need to be software rendered instead, and vsync as far as i've ever seen won't work with software rendering (as that requires feedback from a gpu, which without a gpu driver that wouldn't work)
there maybe be a VM virtual gpu of some kind that can make at least compiz work more smoothly

I'm toying around and educating myself with an old laptop, and i'm trying to install a modern-ish distro on it to see if i can, but am coming up on a roadblock of it using a 25 year old nvidia gpu chipset. Would modern nvidia/nouveau linux drivers work on something this old?
it's a Geforce2 Go, not sure if it may have gotten scrubbed or if there's a particular driver required for this thing. I can only get it to boot in nomodeset because of it.

>>108692560
I'm running ubuntu 9.10 (as reference) in a VM as I have no hardware that can run something so old. The MATE desktop I'm theming is on an old laptop (intel HD520 graphics)

Speaking of virtual gpus I booted fedora MATE, which ships with compiz on a VM with virtio gpu, the opengl 3d acceleration actually worked but when I started compiz it basically hung the whole desktop lol. So close.

>>108692563
nouveau has at least at some point supported that card, whether anybody is actively making sure that support isn't broken is another story however. also even if it does, how many modern applications can use an opengl 1.2 card for anything is yet another story. though just having basic X11 support would certainly be nicer than being stuck with vesa i suppose

>>108692563
>Would modern nvidia drivers work
hell no
>nouveau
maybe

Besides noveau, you could try nvidia legacy drivers. You'd have to look up if they support your card. Note that a lot of modern software wants to use stuff like vulkan which that old thing won't support surely.

>>108692590
suppose a driver roll back may be in order? I came across some ubuntu forum posts from around 2010 where people were saying that the nouveau drovers worked better than nvidia supplied drivers, unsurprisingly.

>>108692600

unfortunately google is ass now, so finding nvidia legacy drivers and their supported cards is taking some digging. I know many modern programs wouldn't work, but i do stupid shit on my old systems.
Ran cinebench on a netbook from 2011 running windows 10 to see just HOW bad it'd be. spoiler alert; one pass took almost 8 hours and the score was in double digits. at least 12x slower than a single core of my ryzen cpu.

I keep loosing memory each time I run zypper up I am down another ~10gb from the last week and it doesn't seem to reclaim. Is that because of btrfs snapshots or something else?

Anything I can buy to run Linux on that's small and efficient like a Mac Mini?

>nvidia legacy drivers
anon that is a geforce 2 go. the last nvidia proprietary driver to support that is the 96.43.xx legacy serious. yes, "96". you aren't using this on a distro newer than 15 years old
https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/details/21935/

>>108692613
there are tons of cheap mini pcs. Well, maybe not that cheap anymore.

>>108692618
yeah, it didn't click to me that geforce 2 go was really a geforce 2. Damn, that's old.

>>108692650
yea, not to be confused with 2000, 200, or 20. 2. like the second one. i used to own one so there was no confusion for me

>>108692640
Yeah I owned one and it was loud as fuck.

>>108692670
I was thinking more of coffee 2 go and just a fancy marketing name for laptop gpus.

>>108692676
lol fair enough. the "go" is actually the laptop version so you're not far off. just yea the 2 is a 2, not a "to"

>>108692563
nouveau works fine on my old 6150se, I'd assume geforce 2 go is covered too
>I can only get it to boot in nomodeset because of it
try forcing it with nouveau.modeset=1, if it fails check the logs

>>108692610
>Any idea why .snapshot is so huge?
Size of the snapshot != Size of the snapshot on disk. What's the size of the individual snapshots and how much do they differ?

>>108692691
the 6150se is 4 years newer, but i've seen forum posts suggesting the 2 go has worked at least at some point, like one from 2014 regarding an issue that was fixed during that thread. i don't believe nouveau has ever removed any cards from support, however that doesn't mean they can't be accidentally broken. i'd bet zero nouveau devs own a 2 go to test on, though i'm sure they'd be happy to accept patches to fix it if it's not working, too

would noveau work on my nvidia riva tnt2 model 64?

>>108692718
the tnt/tnt2 are the oldest cards not explicitly listed as unsupported by nouveau, so "maybe"

>>108692718
>>108692722
also their website doesn't maintain a list of supported cards, as there are too many to regularly test.

https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/CodeNames.html
>Be aware that this list may be outdated and incomplete. Nouveau aims to support all NVIDIA cards, but no effort is made to document which cards (and BIOSes) actually work, as this is deemed infeasible. Just try it and submit bug reports if it doesn't work.

best bet is to look for forum posts or similar to find someone who has actually used that specific card

>>108692718
it appears so
https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/CodeNames.html
but as >>108692716 said, there's no telling if they may have broken something

>>108686545
Both. Partition your drive as follows
>EFI system partition (if an EFI PC)
>20GB partition for Ubuntu
>20GB partition for Debian
>rest of the drive for /mnt/anime
Whichever 20GB partition is left unused can be used for Arch or Gentoo later on. (remember to host Gentoo's compilation cache under /mnt/anime as 20GB may not be enough)

>>108692613
ARM junk such as Raspberry Pi

>>108691504
Humor me and take the drive out, power off the PC. Then power it back on, enter BIOS, stick the USB drive in and reboot without powering off.
Idea being the drive gets sticked in when the system is running.

>>108692675
>I owned one and it was loud as fuck.
That's what happens when you strangle a PC to death in a tiny box.

>>108692832
Apple pulls it off though.

>>108692613
find yourself a used SFF desktop, like a little lenovo or dell system. Dirt cheap on ebay and easier to work on than the shitty little chinesium boxes

>>108692835
They probably thermal throttle them since they're using a mobile SOC. They'll probably never run hot enough for the fans to run full blast.

On Linux, you can use things like thermald (for Intel CPUs anyway) to make it stick within a particular thermal budget. You'll only ever hear the fans then if they're cheap budget crap that are noisy (just replace them with good fans).

>>108692675
We have like 8 of them at work but they aren't loud at all

AMD still the go-to for graphics cards?

>>108692850
>They probably thermal throttle them
they don't, unless you put a sustained load on a passively cooled cpu (macbook air). but even still, the actively cooled ones barely make any noise
t. uses a macbook pro and an intel linux pc

>>108692951
Pretty much, if you care about the good FOSS drivers.

The FOSS NVIDIA drivers are getting better though:
https://www.phoronix.com/review/linux-70-nouveau/3

Still nowhere near as good as AMD though.

>>108688880

It just werks, is easy to install and doesn't require regular updates to not break.

I have it on my old desktop at my parents' place and it's comfy.

I noticed arch uses 1500 as mtu by default which carries over in the final install. It seems git doesn't like that and forces me to set 1400 instead for git clone to work. Why is 1500 the default? Is this a standard for the US?

I'm trying to get virtual box to work in Linux Mint, and in order to do so I need to sign a few drivers myself that are listed in this guide:
https://linuxvox.com/blog/sign-virtual-box-modules-vboxdrv-vboxnetflt-vboxnetadp-vboxpci-centos-8/
are there any red flags in this guide that I should be concerned about?
I don't really like entering commands into my terminal under sudo I'm not familiar with.

>>108693182
i just did a git clone a minute ago and my interfaces are 1500 mtu

>>108693182
it's a standard like fucking everywhere and your DHCP server should tell devices the network mtu anyway. git does not need 1400 mtu, your network is borked somewhere if it does for you. Why are you git cloning while using the iso anyway?

>>108693208
I never had to change mtu value either. Maybe it's a VM quirk? I am doing an install with qemu. I've done this multiple times and had to change mtu value each time for git clone to not freeze

>>108693214
No, I git clone after. Just saying that the value carries over from the live iso. I am doing another install right now. Might paste the debug logs for the heck of it

>>108693182
You probably fucked up path mtu discovery by blocking icmp or something.

>>108691836
xterm, urxvt, or st?

>>108691705
For some reason those gtk settings config files dont get used on wayland and you have to use a hacky script
https://github.com/swaywm/sway/wiki/GTK-3-settings-on-Wayland

>>108692951
The intel ones probably work fine too.
