It's the one that beats everything else in your niche.
I used Arch for a year and then graduated to Gentoo. Gentoo is superior to everything except possibly Debian and Alpine, because they dominate their own niches.

>>109563427
Ok, dumb question and I'm stumped because the manual doesn't seem to explicitly state why this is happening or the method to help me understand the steps that make it happen.

>gparted-> GUI partition tool.
Ok, great so far.
>Make an ext4 partition (/dev/sdc1/)
>Done
Ok, great. I can mount the partition/drive via Dolphin on KDE.

BUT, here is where it throws me for a loop:
>Owner: root
>Group: root
I get gparted runs as root. That's not the problem.

The problem is: Dolphin does NOT allow me to change permissions. It doesn't give me root permission elevation to change group/user to my own username/group to take ownership.

I can't create directories on drive.

Why????

Now what I've done was:
>Check archwiki
Doesn't explain why this would happen or this corner case unless I'm completely skipping over it in the haste of trying to take ownership.
>Doing:

sudo chmod 777 /dev/sdc1

>Permission for user/group is made
Great. But Dolphin *still* doesn't allow me to change permissions but DOES allow me to make directories on the mounted drive/partition now.

Why can I not take permission via Dolphin?

I don't see anything in the knowledge base on KDE for this or the Archwiki even under the "Dolphin" article and I'm scratching my head why GParted and Dolphin don't allow the local user to take ownership from root?

>>109565560
>Dolphin *still* doesn't allow me to change permissions but DOES allow me to make directories on the mounted drive/partition now.
that's because of the last 7 in your 777. It's still owned by root
you can chown youruser:youruser so it's owned by youruser

When you mount something, it's actually different when run as root and when not. mount is a setuid binary. I always mount everything as root when I have to mount something manually for this reason.

>>109565243
>How do you decide on a daily driver distro?
DE support (KDE is a must), release cadence and Immutability. Been on a rolling release (OpenSUSE) for a couple of years now and I honestly feel like it's moving too fast. Something like Fedora is a good starting point for update speed IMO.

>>109565587
Huh. Ok. I'm going to see if that works in a second, but why doesn't KDE itself allow this (chown) via the GUI? You'd think the permission function in the UI would allow you to change the owner that way, unless I'm wildly misunderstanding the ownership permission system(s).

>>109565243
Your post ends with 3. Your choice is now ZorinOS. Now stop thinking about it.

>>109565613
Idk, I never use GUI to change permissions or ownership. Maybe you need to run it as root or something. Maybe there simply isn't a use case for downgrading root ownership via GUI as that's a pretty "unsafe" operation and you should only do it if you know what you are doing.

>>109565660
It's just weird as all my other drives are owned by me, but the gparted one is the only one owned by root but I can't change root ownership in Dolphin to my user/GUID.

In the grand scheme: It isn't a huge deal as my Steam library (which I moved to it) works just fine and seems okay so it's not the end of the world, but it's weird it doesn't list my user (or "
wheel" as a group) to switch to for that drive, but all my other drives list me and "wheel" as the groups I can switch to while I (the user) own them, not root.

Really weird edge case, and you're probably right that there isn't a KDE developer that needed to do this via GUI, because looking around it seems Dolphin (at least until the past few years) had no elevation to root permissions to do anything like this.

Weird gparted quirk, I guess? I could always just format the disk to ext4 again via fdisk instead of using a GUI like I'm used to when managing Windows systems, so not the end of the world.

is there a way for my audio profile to switch automatically between devices on KDE Plasma? I have an HDMI switcher and I must manually switch the audio profile. I'm on Plasma 6.3.6 if that matters.

>>109563427
one thing i will say that i dislike about linux, it seems like Every fucking day there is an update, and even though i set it to only update once a week I still have the little Cachy C saying there is an update and its driving me fucking crazy. Why the fuck do people say linux is better? I literally never have updates be shoved down my throat every single fucking day with windows.

>>109565981
and what will happen if I miss an update btw? will I face a possibility of somethign being corrupted? thats my biggest fear.

>>109565981
You used to, now they just bundle everything in a monthly update, which is somewhat of a security issue.
>>109565996
Catchy is based on arch, which is rolling release, of course you have updates every day. Programmers be programming.

>>109566007
so i went from once a month or less with windows to once a day.... i hate this and i've already gone and made the permanent switch so idk wtf to do.

>>109566038
Switch to Bazzite. Atomic distributions are a total opposite of Arch. You can go an entire year without updates and nothing bad will happen once you do update.

>>109566038
>so idk wtf to do.
Don't use Arch forks (Cachy, et. al.) and use Fedora or Debian/slower updates?

Even Windows has a semi-rolling release depending on if the Jeets break something or not. Otherwise the "patch Tuesday" is just all the patches they released that you didn't WSUS check to grab before "patch Tuesday."

It's the same thing, really. Just Arch forks (as >>109566007 correctly states) are "rolling" so as soon as an update is available, they push it out for people that want the latest.

FWIW, you can just ignore it and update once a month. If you're that bothered by a UI notification, you can disable it (generally) in your Desktop Environment but that runs the risk of forgetting to update every 1-2 months.

Also even Windows has the "UPDATE AVAILABLE!" notification, it's just less in-your-face about it.

>>109566087
i've tried bazzite, didn't like it, and like i said i've already made the perma switch, the only way imma switch distros now is if my hard drive dies cause I am not about to lose my save file that I started on my PS3 emulator. I have no way to save the save.

>>109566038
I check for updates when I wake up, on whatever device I'm using. Fedora is more stable as far as I know. When you get an update on Fedora, it's been tested and you don't have to worry about it bricking your system. That's how a lot of distributions work actually. Idk if catchy is as risky as straight up arch, but meh, whatever gets the job done eh?

>>109566105
Then just never update.

>>109566092
so i'll be alright not updating for a month, this is my first time ever staying on linux so i'm a bit worried about if i skip an update.

>>109566121
CachyOS is based on Arch, which is rolling release AND bleeding edge. You are fine skipping them even for over a month.

Also if there is a way to autoupdate with needing my password i'll gladly take that option as i don't turn my computer off anyways.

>>109566133
without needing my password i meant.

>>109566121
You're not going to break anything as long as you update every few months. You can go like 6-8 months without worrying. The biggest issue with arch-based distros is the keychain signing changing before you -Syu, but using... (forgetting... -Sy?) before you -Syu will sync/look up and fix the keychain and the local update list before pushing the update.

the only thing that I still hate about linux though is the lack of logitech G Hub though because of my wireless headset. I have no idea when I need to charge it, and I can't turn the fucking lights off on it. I don't wanna use wired because I always wind up running over the wire with my chair.

>>109566209
I hate that stupid headset too.
The beep when it's low on battery is SO FUCKING LOUD RIGHT IN MY EARS and it repeats it like every 30 seconds. Really awesome when I'm playing a game (these are supposed to be "gamer" headphones) and can't put it to charge immediately.

>>109565935
Where is the mount point? You need to set the permissions there. Maybe that directory got owned by root somehow and now regular users are stuck with that.

>>109566294
idk which headset you have but mine is a low beep and it only happens when i'm watching a movie or listening to ASMR, still though I miss being able to know when it was low on battery. The woman just doesn't speak without having Logitech G Hub

>>109565396
>do you even realize why you are hating snap you retard?

How do I install that .deb on Fedora, Arch or openSUSE? How do I install it on a different version of Ubuntu or Debian?

The problem is clearly here, and it's called "the Linux distribution model never made any sense and is retarded compared to the competition". Snaps, Flatpaks and Appimages are the solution. They each have their flaws, but they're much better than the status quo.

>>109566314

/run/media/<user>/<LabelForDrive/Partition>/

Could be the case, I could check but the others are also /run/media so I don't see why Dolphin wouldn't list the user for it...

>>109566787
It's less those three and more "package maintainers wanted to be super special so made their own package managers." Which is what you're saying but really the issue is distros didn't standardize. Even Linus agrees all the forks in terms of software (packages, desktop environments, etc.) is a major problem for Linux.

Flat, snap, AppImages aren't really the answer, they're the problem in a different way.

>>109566787

I've been using Arch and derivatives for years and never had any real problem with them. Nobody is forcing you to update every single hour, personally I update twice a month. Also, whoever thinks stable distributions are somehow immune to bugs, regressions or other issues is delusional. Just don't be retarded and you'll be fine with whatever OS you choose, no exception.

I just updated ungoogled-chromium in Linux Mint with Flatpak (Flathub) no issues here. What OS do you use?
Also, seems like you are contradicting yourself in the first and second part of your post. Clearly you are not fine.

>>109567531
Here's the truth nuke:

>S tier
Appimage
>A tier
Flatpak
>B tier
Distro-agnostic download & install script that places the binary into my home or /opt
>C tier
deb/rpm
>D tier
I have to compile it myself

>>109571431
>and RHEL very much relevant?
You mean Fedora, surely? Because otherwise: Sure, if you have Enterprise money. RHEL isn't going to support even the "Trial" developer versions unless you pay-up to IBM.

>Is Canonical's proprietary back end a security risk where the CIA can inject backdoors into our packages?
Snap packages enforce developer signatures to verify authenticity and integrity. So, you can have a look at each of your snaps to see if they're tampered with by CIA. However, nobody actually checks and most devs don't even share the verified keys for you to check. So while you're technically safe from "CIA", you're really not. Snap's backend, just like the backend of every single package manager of every single distribution, fully operates on trust.

Today, I learned Arch doesn't install the less package by default. Very strange

anyone know how to make ristretto not show the checkered background on transparent images (or an image viewer like ristretto that does)

>>109573531
Correct, I discovered this a while ago helping a friend set up an install and wondering why journalctl was acting so strangely.
It is pulled as a dependency for man-db though, so you have a very high chance of installing it by accident eventually.

I like pop os
but it can be a real pain sometimes
the following has happened multiple times
>do updates
>suddenly, something cannot update in pop shop(missing some necessary packages/files involving a rtl8812au driver(or something similar since it's been months since I last looked, but it definitely involves rtl8812 at least), which I doubt is actually true because it's a wifi dongle driver and I use an ethernet cable for internet)
>now nothing except my games and similar software can update, even when I use the terminal
>use terminal and find missing file
>no matter what I do, file refuses to be fixed, even deleting it doesn't work because it automatically tries to reinstall it and fails to do so
>the refresh os button saves the day and everything is fixed for a few months until it happens again
and now it's gone
I only had one USB flash drive that I had to constantly swap the content on, so the refresh os button was nice
maybe there is a better solution, but I couldn't find one online and I'm a casual
it happened again a few months ago, and since it doesn't affect anything except updating the os I just left it alone
but I wanted to get waydroid recently to emulate android games, and the error stops that from downloading too
this time around, without the refresh button and me not wanting to swap the files currently on my USB, I bit the bullet and got a 2 pack of USB drives, they just arrived
I got pop os on drive 2, and I've heard that you can keep everything in your home folder without needing to move them off your computer temporarily, making it similar to the refresh button
should I put everything I can on USB drive 3 just in case, or is it safe enough to not bother?
and will there be any issues reinstalling an old pop os version that hasn't updated in months using the latest one on the USB?
this will be my first time fixing it via USB, so I want to be cautious

>>109574957
wait
I wanted to take a picture of the error, but it's working this time for some reason
I'll respond again once I reach the mono update I know always fails
it might take a while

in a terminal emulator and show where the errors occur, should give some more information, a quick google makes it seem like a dkms module is failing to build against the current colonel.

I've done that before, nothing I tried was able to fix these files
I think pop server and desktop are new errors though, I don't remember those when I tried last time

>>109575199
NTFS has had long filename support since forever. Whatever is giving you grief is enforcing an artificial limit in its code because it still thinks DOS is at all relevant.

The kernel driver certainly doesn't care and the filesystem layout / volume, etc, doesn't care.

>>109575278
Issue went away once I formatted to EXT4, that's all I care about.

>>109575310
Yes, I'm sure it did, I'm just saying it's not an NTFS issue.

Some piece of software you were using still has restrictions from the DOS times left over, that's the real problem here. The filesystem literally does not give a shit but it breaks on Windows because they still enforce this artificial limit that you have to turn off in the settings so many software still enforces these limits from the DOS times that makes no sense anymore.

I bet your torrent client doesn't even run on DOS anymore and I bet nobody in the past decade has seriously ran DOS for anything on their laptop/desktop either (Except maybe old games which you can run faithfully in DOSBOX anyway, so still no point).

For some reason Windows and by extension a lot of popular software still clings to this pointless DOS compatibility even if the filesystem itself literally does not care.

>>109575310
If you used the same ntfs filesystem under Linux you wouldn't have any problems either. The 260 character path limit is a registry setting you have to turn off in Windows. I don't believe any torrent client would lock itself into that.

google says the Binary update-secureboot-policy not found is a harmless error, but immediately

it seems linux generic not configuring is causing most of the problems

the error is that the rt18812au driver is failing to build, it's very possible you don't even need the package any more as linux 7 added a lot of drivers right into the kernel, try to deinstall the package for the rt18812 drivers and updating again. It is likely it will just werk

>>109575946
package probably named rtl8812au-dkms

why is this a friendly thread? what happened to RTFM culture?
threads like this are the reason why arch users are widely known to be shitters and retards who should be culled.

anon's no wifi no longer works and he is removed from /g/

i have an old laptop that doesnt allow any OS to create boot entries except for windows
i want to keep secure boot enabled to play some games on windows
what would be the easiest way to manage this so that i can dual boot linux?
just use a distro that has secure boot already set up?
the UEFI allows me to select efi files as trusted for execution, this is the only way to create a linux boot entry

>>109575951
I removed it and a bunch of text appeared
there were errors, but I haven't tried upgrading a second time yet
the reason I'm phoneposting btw is because despite being on the whitelist of my adblock, it still will not let me post
I wrote >>109575786 on the computer and had to make a google doc to send to my phone via drive
and I can't post at all in the morning, for some reason it says that I'm blocking those two .io sites that made me whitelist 4chan in the first place(I don't have adblock on my phone)
but then I stop getting the error a few hours after I wake up and am allowed to phonepost for the rest of the day, like now
if I post in between the

 lines like in my last post, am I still limited to 2000 characters?
there's a lot of text and a new error, and it will take forever to copy/paste and send it to my phone
it says that I'm out of space too(errno 28)

the efi is 522 mb
if it's trying to put stuff there then it might be out of space
how can I feed it memory from my Linux filesystem?

>>109576480
dam, usually 100 MB is plenty for the EFI but you can try to grow it because you are getting errors about copying into the ESP

maybe just put a pro/tested tier linux distro on after copying all your files to one of your many flash drives lol.

>>109576480
Delete the recovery partition next to it and then extend into it. Or re-size the right most partition and place your ESP on the end.

You'll have to use something like Gparted. Or just wipe the whole drive but I'm guessing that's not an option if you want to dual boot.

My laptop has been hitting ram limits pretty frequently on mint cinnamon. How much better would xfce be? Is it really that noticeable?

>>109576524
what are you currently using, what do you plan to keep in xfceces?

>>109576500
wouldn't wiping the drive delete everything?
and deleting the recovery partition sounds bad if something goes wrong, so I'd like to move my home folder onto a flash drive before I start
also, I do not care about dual booting
once I tried to partition 50gbs to run a windows vm(as the instructions told me to), but in the end I didn't and turned it back
is there something left over from that which made you assume I would want to dual boot? I thought I got rid of everything from that
>>109576495
what would you recommend that has both x11 and wayland? at this point it's looking like swapping distros is the easiest option

>what would you recommend that has both x11 and wayland? at this point it's looking like swapping distros is the easiest option
>but I'd like to try a little longer before I decide
not a question i can answer, i was anti wayland and went to windows for a few years
then i came back to lingus and wayland seems fine
i always use arch or arch based distros as they seem to just werk the most but they do require basic troubleshooting skills (like what you got going desu)

>>109576698
If you don't care about dual-booting, then yeah, just move your data somewhere else and then wipe the whole drive and let it do it's thing. Then copy your data back after it's done.

>>109576712
>>109576722
alright, I'll wipe the drive and reinstall pop os
if that doesn't fix the issue for good then I'll just use a different distro
thank you
