they should just get rid of every spin and other project and have only one iso. fedora kde should be the only option. it would free up so much time and let them make the best linux distro there is.

Anybody has first hand info on how's the nvidia proprietary driver situation on debian? I'm reading the documentation but I wanna know how reliable are the nvidia provided drivers through their own repo.

>>109251696
Go to the misc page and choose the "Everything" iso
This is the net install iso that lets you choose what you want with the added bonus of your system being up to date when you boot it up for the first time. Why they tuck it away with all of the minimal/container isos I don't know. Fedora's site and docs feel like you're supposed to know what you're looking for in advance.

fedora is pretty alright once you enable third party repositories and replace preinstalled programs with full codec versions. the kernel and mesa updates seem to have a reasonable cadence and you can install single packages from the testing branch if you absolutely need the latest version the kernel or mesa for a fix. the real cockblocker is figuring out how to access these "non cucked" package version from rpm fusion. a normal user would install fedora and then wonder why videos don't play or why drivers are dogshit for nvidia cards

Debian recently updated a package to make it "free". IP ranges being associated with countries is not "free" information and now you have an inaccurate database from six years ago. The country flags you see in your torrent client or some firewall software depend on this database.

You must hold geoip-database back if you haven't updated yet because the 2019 database is very outdated.

>>109256238
You're going to have to come up with a source for that one because I don't see how syncing filesystems and remounting read-only before pulling the plug is worse than just pulling the plug.

>>109257140
If you want inaccurate country flags then go ahead and "upgrade". Apparently IP country information has to be licensed (this will change through the years due to allocations moving to different ISPs and companies).

I want to install Debian onto it to dualboot. My understanding is, I should first shrink windows partition, then potentially make another partition for all of my files, and then i guess just use rufus or whatever else and flash it to a usb and follow the installer?

I do not understand why you have to spread this nonsense fear mongering leading morons to be scared of nothing

>>109257778
I've been using this shit for years and years.
The AUR was practically a selling point for it for the longest fucking time. I remember countless arguments about how openSUSE or Fedora just didn't measure up.
It's the first time I've seen so many people just turn around and say "oh wait, you were using the AUR?" like you're actively installing Arch and completely ignoring one of the three main reasons to use it.
It was never "secure", but even the fucking arch news page is giving you instructions on how to deal with problems by using the AUR at this point. It's been recommended for a long time to just grab the AUR package for this, that and the other rather than "bother with building shit".
CachyOS may have changed things a little by providing its own sort of "ChaoticAUR" where people might feel less inclined to actually use the AUR, and clearly it wasn't recommended to use on distros based on Arch (specially on Manjaro, for the longest time), but it's just such a weird fucking thing to pretend like most Arch users are living happily without ever using the AUR and acting like it was always ridden with problems and never recommended or even fucking bragged about.

>>109257814
What are you talking about? I'm pro Arch, but anti idiot. The AUR is fine if you know what you're doing. The problem is that people do not understand that it's not an official repositiory. People assume it "just works".

I actually fully support the kind of economy where people distribute programs in a decentralized manner. I never really liked centralized repos anyway, they're kind of a necessary evil.

It's like a sort of small personal responsibility to actually pay a little bit of attention. Else why not buy a Mac or something and have Steve Jobs decide everything for you?

That's fine, that's expected, but 'fuck around and find out' is an effective teaching moment.

Is anyone here an XDG portals expert? Firefox under Sway (Wayland) on Linux doesn't launch a "dark mode" file chooser, and I'm not sure how to troubleshoot where things are going awry. I can disable the portals to have it use some sort of built-in GTK-like variant, but that version of the file chooser is buggy. It does appear in dark mode though, which makes me suspect an XDG portal issue.
Changing Firefox between an explicit dark and a "system" theme has no effect. Neither does launching it with GTK_THEME=Adwaita-dark or Adwaita:dark. Firefox itself is confirmed to be running in a wayland session. Firefox has the attached portal config values (changing them all from 2 to 1 has no effect).
I'm not using a desktop environment. The portals are installed (the main package, as well as the -gtk, -gnome, and -wlr backends) and the services are running. The "prefer-dark" and "Adwaita-dark" gsettings are set (for both GTK3 and 4, I believe). WAYLAND_DISPLAY and XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=sway are being set into the systemd and dbus environments at session start. The `gtk` value has been set for the default and fallback handlers in a ~/.config/xdg-desktop-portal/portals.conf file.
Clearly something is breaking or blocked somewhere, but I am not sure how to diagnose or interrogate issues in this stack.

im having major vm gpu passthru problems
first my setup is a hp pavilion with a gtx 1650 and an i7 10th gen with 16gb runing what was endeavouros but somehow changed to arch
i have a seperate systemd boot entry where i try to pass the gpu to vfio driver and i build initrd with vfio and nvidia-blacklist modprobe included using dracut plus some early forced vfio drivers and i915 as per archwiki instructions
now for the major problems that i cannot explain cause they happen even when i changed nothing
first when i boot the vfio systemdboot entry theres a chance it freezes on the tty and i have to force reset, wiki mentiones this and i did place the i915 driver before the vfio ones when i build the initrd
the only solution i found was to just rebuild the initrd again even though i didnt upgrade my system
next is when i reach the plasma login screen, when i sign in it hangs there but wont if i first switch ttys, fucking explain this
then when i start libvirtmanager it sometimes wont even start the vm and im forced to force shutdown pc
after i manage to get inside win10 vm for some reason the libvirt manager poweroff functions stoped working even if i had all the virtio drivers installed, it used to fucking work whyyy
and finaly when i shudown the vm it sometimes (allot) wont properly shutoff and in a couple of minutes freezes my pc so i force shutdown
anons what tf do i do, tried my help with claude and stuff but its solutions didnt help much
it says my nvidia driver is still being loaded despite me puting modprobe in initrd and kernel cmd plus some install bin/false claude recommended
at this point its basically better to just dual boot but i want to fix this shit

This is the most bizarre problem I ever had on linux. So I have an ISO keyboard (I'm a spic), and I normally put the following line in my startup script when starting my X session

setxkbmap -layout latam -option "caps:ctrl_shifted_capslock" &

This works fine, but I wanted something different so I created a file named "00-keyboard.conf" in my xorg.conf.d directory with these contents:

Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "system-keyboard"
    MatchIsKeyboard "on"
    Option "XkbLayout" "latam"
    Option "XkbOptions" "caps:ctrl_shifted_capslock"

Once again, this worked just fine, but I reverted back to my original setup. I then noticed some of my keys behaved weird. My keyboard has a Fn key (it's a regular keyboard, not a laptop's), and for some reason some keys run their special function without the Fn key being pressed, and are even recognized differently in XEV, picrel (this one should appear as simply "F9" rather than "XF86Search"). F1 and F9-12 have this issue, but weirdly enough the rest of the keys with special functionality behave and are recognized as normal (Esc, Insert, Home, etc).

I swear I didn't have this issue before, and the only tinkering I've done recently is the one I mentioned in the beginning of this post, did I mess up something? this doesn't make any sense to me. I'm runnning artix (dinit), x11, dwm. I also confirmed this happens in the tty as well, so it's not relegated to the X session I think.

is cosmic good yet?

You should use hwdb rules instead. This way your stuff is permanent. Arch wiki had a link but I seem to have lost it. I I needed to switch esc and capslock, but other methods would not work if something reads your device directly (eg. gamescope doesn't give a shit about your xmodmap or any other rules).

# identify your device event
sudo libinput list-devices
# find out keycodes for event 5 (in this example that's my keyboard)
evtest /dev/input/event5
# find out modalias, eg. the long string: input:b0003v17EFp6099*
cat /sys/class/input/event5/device/modalias
# create a new hwdb rule
sudo nano /etc/udev/hwdb.d/90-keyboard-remap.hwdb
----
#
# match the one space identation exactly.
# 
# map capslock -> esc 
# map esc -> capslock
#
evdev:input:b0003v17EFp6099*
 KEYBOARD_KEY_70039=esc
 KEYBOARD_KEY_70029=capslock
----
# rebuild hardware database index
sudo systemd-hwdb update
sudo udevadm trigger /sys/class/input/event5

This way it's always there.

I own a chinese keyboard with horrible firmware that only has 2 modes Windows and non-windows, but the unfortunate thing is that non-windows mode just means macOS mode, and so when under linux it would check the box non-windows and behave like a macOS keyboard which included what you're describing about special Fn keys.
If that seems to you it could lead to somewhere look around the internet and see if others with your same keyboard have found similar issues.
In my case (Varmilo VA88M) the solution was using a horrible chinese software provided by the keyboard makers in windows to flash the Windows only version of the firmware, so it wouldn't get detected as an apple keyboard when using it under linux.

zswap is usually better if you need nonvolatile backed swap (>2x physical memory) because it adds a 3rd tier to the Linux VM system for compressed memory. It does require an actual swap device. If you barely touch swap like the vast majority of desktop users, zram is sufficient.

Consider swapping to zswap when they implement support for not having a swap file, it's coming at some point.

Should've mentioned the use case too. Thing is I use Gentoo on a 32 thread 64GB RAM setup and sometimes, just sometimes, compiling some software hogs slightly too much RAM so I needed some sort of swap. (weirdly 16 threads and 32GB survived without swap)
I have no need for swap file or partition as I never hibernate the system. That's the only use case for swap file/partition, right?

You can extract the SRPM and verify the source against whatever git it came from and look at the patchset. It's a little more complicated than ebuilds. There are only a handful of general interest repos and most of them have been maintained by the same people for years.

If you run out of RAM then the OS has 2 options. Either totally freeze, or kill a random process with something like earlyoom or systemd-oomd (which would be a "crash").

Just set up a 4GB swap file and make your oom daemon kill your less relevant processes first (like the steam client).

Ubuntu was the only functional, normie-friendly distro in the previous 2 decades. But the problem is it used GNOME (and briefly Unity) so the UI was unfamiliar to people coming to Linux from Windows. Mint took Ubuntu as a base and created the Cinnamon DE, which kind of felt like XP/7.
So Mint was THE distro to recommend to former Windows users. The UI was familiar and it was binary compatible with the most popular Linux distro in the world (Ubuntu LTS).

Are you a total boomer and you don't care about the UI being shit and the lack of some modern features? Then Mint is just fine.
Are you a baby duck user who got mad at Windows for moving the position of the start menu button? Then Mint is great since Cinnamon doesn't make drastic changes over time.
Are you pissed at Microsoft and want to switch to Linux, but you don't want immediate confusion when it comes to the UI? Then Mint is an okay option.

It's just a decent distro. Not the best in any way outside of consistency, but sometimes that's what matters the most and it's good enough for people to either stick with it or at least give it a shot as their first distro.

>>109273586

On the off chance anyone is having the same bizarre issue installing CSP 5.0 as me and is searching the archives for help, here's what worked for me

The only thing way I could find to get around the webview2 logins freezing up was to run the CSPenguin installer from github. This worked fine on my desktop, but failed on my laptop. Everytime it tried launching the csp installer exe (step 5 I think) it would launch a bugged window 1 pixel wide that couldn't be interacted with. After screwing around with it and trying every other method under the sun, it seems it was due to my laptop having a 1920x1200 display.. Setting the display to 1080p allowed me to complete the installation. It also worked fine on my 4k desktop monitor, so I wonder if its an aspect ratio issue. In either case I was able to change back to the native resolution and run the actual program just fine, so it seems to only be the installer that has this issue.

I don't care about snapshots. I have an old laptop with an hdd. Which filesystem should I use for speed?

And a word of advice, Linux is still in the stage where if you don't treat it like "edu-tainment" or a "learning adventure" you are going to have a very, very, very, very rough and frustrating time. I'd strongly suggest you install a VM and tinker with it that way if your computer can handle it, if it can't, see what the minimum requirements are for Kubuntu are and buy a dirty cheap pc to try it on before switching over full time, that way if things get frustrating you can just go back to windows and do the shit you need to do while learning Linux.
Who knows, maybe you'll hate it and go back to windows, maybe you'll love it and daily drive it, just don't expect it to be as friendly or as easy to learn as Apple but if know how a computer runs (as in paths, file structure, registries, permissions, and such) you'll have a far more easier than than someone like me who went in raw and lived a frustrating year of two where I just had to deal with it or beg on here to get it fixed. Now its fairly smooth sailings.

the constant shader downloading and compiling is getting annoying
i basically have to do it every day
what gives? it wasn't always like that.

For your games or literally for your gui?

Hello guys. I've been thinking about making the switch but I am not fully convinced yet because I use FL studio a lot and also microsoft office and the mendeley plugin that comes with it for college stuff. Will both of these still work?

>>109273182
magic sysrq keys are for when things like that aren't working

>>109275828
Really just install Ubuntu, then steam, install Watchdogs, maybe right click properties and compatibility and maybe fixes here - https://www.protondb.com/app/447040

>>109276472
Sounds like your proton settings are wonky, do you know how to bug trace to see the errors it spits out when you boot steam? Have you tried googling the problem?

>>109276859
nah it happens only in cs2 and war thunder which both run native. problem is that those are the games i play 99% of the time. i stop the game and there is a giant shader download and after that on the next day when i launch either game i have to "compile" shaders again.

btrfs is much more flexible and easier to use if you don't need things zfs is better at such as raid-z/z2, l2arc, etc (both multi-disc features). for single drives btrfs is just as good and has useful things like built-in kernel support, shrinking, etc.

>>109276921
>built-in kernel support
only good thing, great for beginners.

>>109275767
that's like saying you've opened 1 program and are using 1.9G ram, it depends on the program. different websites use different amounts of memory

>>109276111
xfs

>>109276928
Online shrink is a neat trick, and 'raid1' with odd numbers of drives. Doesn't fragment as aggressively as zfs either. btrfs is great for home NAS.

actually since you're using a hdd, you might want ext4. you can use e4rat on ext4 for greatly improved hdd boot speeds. if you use standby most of the time this might not be a concern for you.
ideally you really should be looking for some form of ssd, even a decent sd card or slim form-factor usb drive will be better for the os than a hdd. but you can still get away with a hdd if you set it up appropriately (such as making a small partition for the os at the start for short-stroking, use a ramdisc for /tmp, use zram instead of disc swap, etc)

this seems like a bug

 % machinectl list 
No machines.
% machinectl start machine
// requires elevated privileges
% sudo machinectl start machine
% machinectl list
// requires elevated privileges 

seems like whether or not a machine is running an unprivileged user shouldn't know if you're going to hide the fact any machines are running.

Sometimes steam is more compatible than umu-run with the same ge-proton version. I often add my pirated games to steam if I have special issues sonewhere else.

>>109276472
Depends on game, Unreal Engine 4/5 devs are so retarded that they haven't changed the default behaviour but always force shader compilation during boot. Stalker 2 was like this for example. You can edit engine.ini to fix that in most cases.
Changing compatibility tool/runner (eg. proton version) will initiate shader compilation regardless and I think that steam runtime updates when it's downloading little things on its own can do the same if steam updates the prefixes.
Steam is a shitty bloated thing and managing games and proton this way is bad

honestly after using so many distros throughout the years, even the current fad (cachy, which is good ngl). I've come to settle down with mint, it's just so comfy. I hope they get enough funds/manpower to fix everything that has been troubling cinnamon.

>>109277268
Arch is still my go-to. I find Mint too stifling like other Ubuntu or Ubuntu-based distros.
Cachy is just another way for less technical people to install Arch quickly while also having a bunch of desktop-focused smoothness tweaks done to the kernel.

>>109277268
Aren't they doing a wayland cinnamon or am I just fucking retarded?

>>109277320
They are but it's way behind.

thanks for advice

i am 100% switching, I have been using WSL2 for several years now, work has priority so it should all be fine, gaming is secondary i havent gamed in months, but if CS2 can run natively thats a huge win

i am playing with kubuntu in VM trying to mirror my setup and see how to live with it, i wish i had a cheap laptop to test it on ugh

What is causing this?
Running Cachyos and running the game Pragmata on steam

CS2 has a native version which might be required for competitive multiplayer, but in general you would be using Windows versions of games and running them through Proton since almost all Linux native versions suck ass.
In case of games which require proprietary codecs for stuff like cut scenes:
>install ProtonPlus
>use it to install protonGE in Steam
>instead of proton 11 use ge-proton11

>>109276472
You can disable shader pre-compiling in Steam settings, but that might cause in-game stutters are your shaders have to be compiled as you encounter them in game.
There's a few reasons why your shaders would need to re-compile often. Either the game is getting updates, or your GPU drivers are.

>>109277341
If you have 2 USB drives you can install Linux on a USB drive and just boot from it. Aside from shit read/write speeds it will give you a better approximation of how things work on real hardware. When you're done setting it up you can even flash it back to an internal drive with all your changes intact.

>>109277342
Fucked graphics drivers or some other shit in the rendering pipeline.

which country flags have changed since 2019?

>>109278589
Country flags (probably) haven't changed, but their associated IP blocks have. That's what this is.

should i use firewalld or ufw, or does it even matter
