After about a year, I'm planning on moving from nobara to fedora, anything to look out for?

What is better Zorin OS or Linux mint or Cachy OS

>>109991173
Arch and Fedora

>>109991159
It's the same shit, different package. Fed is okay, of course, especially if you don't update too often.
Forget about Rpmfusion, use Negativo17 instead if you have Nvidia gpu. N17 have other useful stuff too.

>>109991173
Between just these 3? CachyOS is the best for power users, while ZorinOS is the best for normies who don't use their PCs much. Linux Mint is a worse version of ZorinOS.

>>109990712
Nv drivers are not a pain in the ass it's just like any other package these days.
Most people itt are illiterate techlets.

>>109991159
You'll have to install proprietary codecs and drivers yourself.

Is there a guide or something similar about the different tools you need to install and setup in order to make a WM have most goodies one would expect out of a DE? I'm talking about things like a lockscreen, keyring, clipboard, icons, polkit, gvfs, xdg shit, etc.

>>109991159
Any other tips on drivers? Making my 4080 super run well is a top priority.
>>109991243
I'm fine with that, I just want this computer to be more of a workstation and i see using fedora instead of nobara as a step in that direction.

>>109991173
Windows refugee here.
Zorin OS works extremely well for a brand new Linux user coming from Windows. Very minimal tweaking and it feels smooth. Yes, it's using Ubuntu 24.04 with GNOME, but for the casual/easygoing user, it's not an issue.
CachyOS is making wavea purely for its gaming compatibility. It's based on the Arch Linux system, which is notorious in /g/ circles. However, it still isn't difficult for new users.

>>109991360
>CachyOS is making wavea purely for its gaming compatibility
That's what got me into it.
Mint was my first OS. I am hoping that CachyOS is setting "precedent" for other popular distros to look and follow with the features that Cachy somehow did to unlock maximum speed. I have an Ayymmd gpu/cpu gaming rig and still felt the speed boost.

>>109991370
That's me with Zorin - 9070XT and 9800X3D. With Proton on Steam, it's insanely fast. I've heard that Cachy allows for even newer AMD drivers too which is good.

>>109991370
i think a lot of distros will adopt versions with cachy optimizations in the next few years. theres already pikaos basically just being cachy on debian.

(almost) everything works but expect a small learning curve. i got ~50 windows games on linux without major issues (maybe tweaking some launch options here and there), the only one that i couldn't get to run was forza horizon 6 but that was right at launch, it's probably fixed now. also fitgirl has always worked fine for me

>>109992432
From what I have seen, Zorin come with prepackaged AMD drivers, and any attempt to install the latest/newest ones ends in disaster (as Zorin is on Ubuntu 24.04).

>>109992574
well durr? AMD drivers are baked in the kernel

>>109992585
It's the kernel, mesa, and the display server. Only one is easy to upgrade under a bunch of old software.

>Is life a competition on who's got the most complex boot process?
There's not much complexity in ZFSBootMenu or ZFS initramfs setup, actually. Installing the bootloader is as simple as fetching the EFI from https://get.zfsbootmenu.org and copying it under /efi - kernel/initramfs-wise you just have to install ZFS modules and a keyfile that unlocks the encrypted zpool automatically on initramfs boot process to avoid inputting password twice.

>>109991370
Almost anything is an improvement over Mint. Even Ubuntu is.
Mint is a distro for the handful of contrarian Linux users who hate Canonical but still want to use Ubuntu and don't mind having a shit DE because they have a single display that was made before 2010. The distro may have been good like a decade ago, but it's basically stuck a decade in past which is a lifetime in the Linux world.

>>109992261
No, it isn't. Even if it were shit, there's no alternative to it. No real work was done on X11 for a decade since no developer wants to maintain that dogshit code. All the relevant DEs only care about Wayland now and are even dropping X11 support entirely.

>>109990580
Just use Ultramarine. It's Fedora with those 5 minutes worth of setup pre-applied.

>>109993350
That was the reason I never used it in the first place, but it ended up being a mistake since it's the best desktop distro Linux has to offer. If you don't like the name you can just use one of the Fedora-based distros, but they all have retarded names too.

>>109994379
Fair take. It's actually surprising that KDE Plasma doesn't have something akin to layout presets. ZorinOS had this for a long time and even Cinnamon has this from what I recall.
KDE team could easily add something like this to let users get a macOS/GNOME UI with a single click rather than having to navigate 50 different configuration menus.

>>109994404
Use case for layout presets? What makes you think that doing something in a single click rather than having to navigate 50 GNOME extensions is a metric?

What filesystem has the fastest read/write speed on HDDs? I've seen claims that xfs is better for HDDs but I haven't found any benchmarks comparing ext4 to xfs on an HDD

>>109994592
Just use ext4.

>>109994592
I mean, if you're going to use the HDD as a random access device pre-SSD style, that was ReiserFS' job. It's still the fastest generalist HDD filesystem, but there's no case for generalist HDDs any more. I don't think xfs would bench faster than ext4 because random access for metadata, but they've always been pretty close.

These days if it's a drive where the data takes care of its own integrity I use xfs for the low format overhead. Otherwise btrfs for integrity tracking, or ntfs if it needs to be accessible by non-Linux devices.

You need ZFSBootMenu, you need initramfs with ZFS tricks and obviously you need the ZFS kernel module which in itself isn't in the mainline tree.
That's infinitely more complexity than having a mainline kernel without an initramfs.

yea basically, but be careful if your program has weird dependencies as they might drift and you won't be able to run it on a modern system anymore if you keep running system updates. appimages are also safe because they are almost entirely self-contained, there's nix if you wanna learn with that, or you could start stuffing stuff into containers and make custom images that will run forever and ever (it's also possible to build containers with nix).
don't know your exact use case, this is just a bunch of ideas to think about. in most cases you're probably gonna be fine with just saving the tarball like you said though, or appimages if one's available

>>109994592
No filesystem is going to make up for the physical limitations of a hard disk. The differences on a single disk are not likely to matter in any real scenario. If speed matters that much you'd be using some form of RAID... or an SSD. The optimal filesystem depends entirely on the type of workload anyway. You clearly have no idea what the fuck you're doing but are acting like you have it all figured out.

Dracut handles that with quite minimal configs.

So what? Gentoo even tracks the compatibility between kernel version and ZFS support so that I cannot accidentally upgrade to a kernel that's still waiting for ZFS changes.
All in all now I can snapshot my root/home with one command and I can rollback my root to whatever snapshot via ZFSBootMenu and it's nearly instant.

>>109995316
>You need ZFSBootMenu, you need initramfs with ZFS tricks and obviously you need the ZFS kernel module which in itself isn't in the mainline tree.
The whole point is root on ZFS. If you don't want that, then you obviously don't need any of those things.
>That's infinitely more complexity than having a mainline kernel without an initramfs.
The fact my OS lives on a partitionless/bootloader-less disk that can be remotely backed up & restored with 2 commands, is fairly "minimal" to me.

My workload is that I'm going to store virtual machine images on that drive, since those images are large I thought xfs would be a better fit
The other (perhaps better option) is to use zfs's zvols and give those to the VMs as block devices, but this would introduce some complications, like I can't easily copy zvols around like regular files, and I'm unsure if zvols support compactation like vmware vmdk images, not to mention zfs is rather slow

>>109999322
I'm pretty sure ZFS hates VM images. Just figure out your main use case, gather the requirements and go from there.

>>109999322
zvols are something you use to grant block level storage on a zfs array to vm storage pools. Presumably you have another reason to be using zfs in that case.

Just give the whole drive / partition to virt-manager and you can still extract pool volumes as files with virsh vol-download.

What's the news on the AI discovered vulnerabilities? Has it slowed down from summer or has it kept increasing with how much better vibe coding has gotten?

>>110002123
I'd say devs using current Claude releases and such to check or help write code has become so normalized now that the news of it finding vulns easily isn't news anymore.

>>110002123
There's no change. Everyone agrees that AI finding vulnerabilities is a good thing, but the fact that vulnerabilities are not reported publicly leads to duplicate reports which make things seem 10x worse than they are. They will probably have to use an AI agent to filter duplicate reports since they found themselves in a situation where the same issue is reported by 20 different people, where before you might get 2-3 duplicate reports at most.

Long ago i download two files as a backup of my university stuff.

Trouble is i have no clue how to open either, none of them work as normal compressed directories do.
Did i download it weird, did it only get partially downloaded or is there some kind of trick to open them?

7.3 very soon, probably next week already. I hope it is a good one.

>>110002657
".part" would suggest that you didn't finish downloading the file. Due to how 7z compression works, you probably won't be able to recover anything in the archive. You might be able to rename the ".part" into just a ".7z" and see if you downloaded it in full but the browser didn't rename it back properly, but aside from that there's nothing you can do.

I built this originally by following LFS and some other docs. It's self-contained, can build itself and is bootstrapped with alpine and mussel.

Oh and my package manager builds from source, it simply downloads the source to /var/cache/pkg and builds it. It also tracks build/runtime dependencies, tracks build/install index of packages, supports cross-compiling and such. It's one single bash script.

Way to go!

I've built LFS a few times, even used it as my daily driver, but balked at doing multi-lib. Instead of making my own package manager, I adapted the Slackware package tools to my LFS. In my defense, the modular nature of this package manager enables one to build a dependency tracking fetch-the-packages-for-you type of package manager, for the future. Like you, I stay with older versions of the kernel and some packages.

You are like the successful version of me, doing things I keep starting to do but never seem to succeed on or finish. Don't give up! Maybe I'll use your distro in the future, if you decide to go big time and make a web site for it. :)

>>110003635
You run your LFS system as a daily driver, you're more successful than me I'd say. I have a long way to go before this thing could be used as a daily driver and a long list of decisions to make. I've only tested it in a QEMU VM so far. My build process uses docker, a Dockerfile builds the base root system image that can then be created into an .img file for QEMU with another script.
Anyways, my only motivation for this is to 1. learn and 2. see how simple a working "complete" system could be 3. see how far this simple package manager system can get me

>>110003270

I had to compile my own fork of proton 10 with codecs.

I don't want to use retarded proton GE. I don't want to use proton cachy. They are all buggy.
Just give me a fucking stable version of proton with codecs added. Valve knows what they are doing.

I tried to run two games both proton GE and proton cachy failed to either launch cutscenes or sound. But wouldn't you know, my version just worked.

No retarded tacked on shit, experimental.

I will be making this public on GitHub soon.
I'm sick of this shit. It will be called proton-codecs.

I'm kind of surprised nobody has made this yet. I had to do it myself. The reason was I was having problems on two specific games. Yet with my proton version everything works just like on Windows.

They specifically failed if you want to test it yourself normally. They fail on everything including proton GE proton experimental.
Just use proton experimental or proton GE and you can see them fail spectacularly.

Seriously this is a problem. How could people go this long without making a vanilla proton version with codec checking and working just like windows does?

Even proton GE has stuttering because it fails to properly decode the WMV codecs.

>>110004222
I'd say it's because Proton-GE worked for a majority of other games I guess so "proton with codecs baked in" wasn't seen as something that needed to have two of existing.

>>110004240
I get that it probably works for the majority of games but isn't the point of proton to be as close to Windows as possible when it comes to gaming? So you can't even tell?

Proton GE does play the cutscenes in dark souls 2 but they are stuttery and they fail to properly decode like windows does. It's buggy.

Also the apotheon windows build running through proton experimental is completely broken the audio doesn't work and even if you try to use proton GE it fails to process the WMV and the XNA audio for cutscenes so it's just silent.

I'd say those are very big flaws

>>110003817
>TCC
I haven't looked into TCC much but I'd guess you'd want to use that during the bootstrap, were one to bootstrap their distro from "almost nothing"? My distro doesn't care about this part, for now, it relies on alpine linux as the host system during bootstrap. I can fix that later if this thing grows to something usable.
>Also what bootloader do you use, just out of interest?
MBR syslinux. That's what the QEMU bootable .img has, I haven't yet added package defs for grub and such. I haven't thought about this much either. My end goal is to have ZFSBootMenu as first-class bootloader and ZFS obviously as first-class filesystem, though the live CD image one would boot to install this distro with will probably have a simple EXT4 root filesystem or whatever.

As someone whose only experience in windows development was writing some programs in high school using visual studio, can someone please explain how exactly you make an installer and what it does beyond functioning as a script that copies some files into their respective folders?

To answer your question, I'd probably use a program like lddtree to find all the .so files my binary is linked to, and include them into my tarball if I think its unlikely the target system will have said .so file. Alternatively you could do what miniforge did and embed the binary into a bash installer script

I have a simple live CD/USB .iso now that one can copy to a stick with dd and I tested it on my real thinkpad and it works. Next I will clean up the repo and split the stages sensibly so that my system builds a minimal stage 1 and live CD/USB images separately. The live CD/USB system requires way more dependencies than you would want on the actual stage 1 image.
Since this is actually maybe going somewhere, I am going to make my distro like FreeBSD but it's instead of BSD it's Linux. Root ZFS and ZFSBootMenu will be the default choices in the installer.

Yeah, I could never install Arch without archinstall—not because I’m retarded, but because I’m lazy. At best, I need a text-based installer like Debian’s netinst. If archinstall had never existed, I wouldn’t give a shit, because I could always go back to Debian. Archinstall is a godsend. I heard a tranny made it.

X11 is a problem but Wayland is not the solution. Even the suckless guys, who are all about minimalism and essentially just use x11 because "it's the best thing we've got" and would ditch it in a heartbeat if a better display server came along, say that Wayland is too minimalistic

>>110008094
X11 is abandoned, Wayland is the only choice you have. So Wayland is a de facto solution.

>>110008094
X11 is stable and reliable and works for my usecases. I even used XDMCP a few times on LAN and I use SSH X forwarding once a month.
I run XLibre to force on TearFree but otherwise it just works. I apt pinned -1 Wayland, just like PulseAudio, PortAudio, GNOME Screensaver, and SystemD.

What I wonder is why doesn't an universal Linux installer exist already.
>partition drive

It's this part that varies between distributions. Any APT-based distro uses Debootstrap, Arch uses Pacstrap, any RPM-based uses their own package manager. Then there's Gentoo which has the "Stage3" archive.
But in the end it's just about putting files in a filesystem.
Finally:

Optionally:
>install extra software, such as Wi-Fi tools and firmware

Unfortunately Valve unironically knows best.

The codec issue you're talking about likely is the one cachyos patched in their latest release though (see the issue linked about San Andreas). That particular issue was upstreamed to Wine so at least it will work in the future.
Unless it was some other issue that was already long fixed in Proton 11 (why are you even using 10?).

thought of giving wayland another try are there really no other stacking window managers save for labwc?
it seems that if you like tiling WMs you are happy as a pig in shit when it comes to wayland but I am not impressed with the rest lol

>>110010443
If you want to change your default shell you should do `chsh -s $(which shellbinaryname)`, it will require a relog.
If you didn't install Cachy's fish configs (which it appears you mustn't have, since I know if you do it defaults your shell to fish), I have no idea what your ootb fish experience will be like. I do here it's a bit more sane than bash/zsh though.
I use zsh, so cannot help you with fish. What you want to work can work with any of the three shells though, provided you configure them right.

I think it might just be yt-dlp that's bugging out

>>110010472
Of course it is sustainable. The economy is an entirely made up ecosystem of meaningless numbers. A powerful country that is in debt and is self-sufficient can just default and economically reset with just a few years or a couple of decades of turmoil at most. In the worst case scenario people can fall back to paying stuff with gold, or use crypto.
People have been fearmongering about debt 10, 20, 30, 50 years ago and nothing has happened. You see "X country will fall because of massive debt within the next 5 years" every single year.

The problem fundamentally is that proton uses a converter. The GitHub explains it pretty well.

Also for older games using WMV proton GE is completely broken. So it's not really just like Windows which is what proton should be

Basically nothing deep down. Cachy uses Arch as a base which is different from Ubuntu in a lot of ways, mostly in how the binaries used are fairly stock besides the tweaks the maintainers make to the kernel.

>>110011685
Your "distro" is not gonna make "support" magically happen. I, too, can cook up a custom image that gives me, say, RHEL minimal with ZFS root by default. ZFS simply does not have ecosystem integrations in the Linux space. Almost everything that interacts with ZFS in any significant way needs its own special ZFS plugin/glue, most of which are long abandoned. The system itself cannot use half the standard command line tools to interact with ZFS pools/datasets, like, you know, a FIRST-CLASS filesystem would. You're not gonna do any of the work to improve the situation. You haven't even put it together yet and you're *already* coping with "well it's gonna work perfectly on MY distro" because you're just slapping shit together with no real aim or purpose.

>>110011946
I have all that glue, I've done it on gentoo and am running it right now on my systems and am willing to keep it up-to-date for my distro. Maybe not entirely generic or perfect, but it makes a working system and that's what I am building, a very specific kind of distro that you either love or just don't care about.

>>110011946
>The system itself cannot use half the standard command line tools to interact with ZFS pools/datasets
Idk what you're even talking about here, either there are some mysterious tools I'm unaware of or my zfs progs are just working magically for some reason even though they shouldn't. I honestly don't know, maybe I am ignorant then.

>Zorin vs Mint
ZorinOS uses a better/modern desktop environment which supports stuff like HDR, VRR, multiple monitors with different refresh rates, etc. Mint is stuck on 2016 tech, so using it would be like going back to Windows 7 or 8 (in a bad way). Mint is a distro for contrarians who want to use Ubuntu while hating Ubuntu (Mint removes Snap package support, for example). It's kind of like hating Windows and Microsoft, but still opting to use Windows Ameliorated instead of switching to a different OS.
>CachyOS
CachyOS differs from both of them by getting faster updates. Mint and Zorin are still stuck on Ubuntu 24 as a base, meaning almost all your system packages are from 2024 and you're missing the past 3 years of improvements. CachyOS system packages, including desktop environments and drivers, are updated on a monthly basis. This also means CachyOS doesn't need to heavily rely on stuff like Flatpak, Snap or Appimage since Arch will package the latest versions of software into their repository. On Zorin/Mint you're getting packages from Ubuntu LTS, so if you want to install the latest version of your preferred office suite (for example) you'd need to use Flatpak or Appimage.

I come from windows 10 and I want to use Cachy OS. What should I know and what popular programs I can't use? I assume something like Photoshop doesn't work, or can I install an older version?

>>110011968
>>110011986
Bottom-up thinking (i.e. autism). You're bootstrapping an arbitrary system from the ground up and are seeing how far its functionality extends. Of course within the confines of its own arbitrary bubble and to the extent of its inherent capabilities it "works perfectly". The problem is that in the wider context of the Linux world, saying things like "my own Linux distro with first-class ZFS support" implies an entirely different set of goals, which can come across as a particularly infuriating mix of ignorance and arrogance.

>>110012072
>Photoshop
Save yourself the headache and use Photopea like most people do these days.

>>110012130
I guess I shouldn't really use the "first-class" term then, I didn't think that deeply about its implications. Cheers, anon.

i decided to give linux a try and installed Bazzite
i'm liking it so far but i miss the windows 11 function where i could easily put 2 windows next to each other by just hovering over the little square on the top right. Why doesn't linux have this?

>>110012072
>can I install an older version
Nope. Not at all. Still won't work. If you are so keen on your DRM proprietary malware you can setup a virtual machine and install Windows on it.

>>110012558
maybe it does? Idunno I don't use KDE, there's probably a plugin or an extension that does that

>nearly every Vr mod i kept windows around for is getting quest native versions now
>others have linux native versions either out or on the way
im running out of reasons to keep this ad platform disguised as an OS so should i got back to cachyOS? or use some other distro not omarchy though i have 0 interest in AI

Realized the guy I had put my PC together (I fucked up the cpu pins and took it in to be salvaged, got him to install the OS while I had it there) formatted my 1TB hdd in ntfs. Wouldn't be too much of an issue if it weren't fucky with permissions and Proton for Steam installs. My SSD is in ext4 and I have a couple games installed there that work fine.

Would I be better off uploading my entire hdd directory to a backup and reformatting the entire drive, or slowly partioning the empty space to ext4 and transferring over? What issues could happen with both options I guess is what I wanna know lol.

>>110011858
How are you supposed to be able to boot the kernel if /boot is encrypted? Does zfsbootmenu unlock the drive?

>>110013249
Yes, ZFSBootMenu runs ZFS itself and works that way. It unlocks and imports the pool, then lists the options within the pool (boot, snapshots, rollback any snapshot, etc). That's why it's so cool.

>>110011946
>>110012130
You make no sense. Any distro can support zfs easily.

>>110013258
Does zfsbootmenu use a copy of the kernel to load its bootloader or something?

>>110013277
ZFSBootMenu is a very small linux thing on its own, that's why it's able to do what it does. With my distro, yes it will use the same kernel because I setup the package that way, it depends on my linux kernel package.

>>110013262
Like I said - autism.
Being able to install ZFS on any Linux distro != ZFS behaving and being treated as a first class citizen in the Linux ecosystem.

Manual intervention

>>110012558
It's apparently coming to KDE (or maybe GNOME) soon. The reason it doesn't have this feature is because it's easier to just move the window into a window tile (or use a keyboard shortcut), rather than first moving it into a tile picker dock and then into a tile.
On KDE "Option+T" brings up your tile editor which you can customize. Then to move a window into a tile you hold Option, then use your left mouse button to grab the window, then hold shift and then move the window into a tile and release your buttons there. Only problem here is that KDE doesn't allow you to remove the "hold shift" requirement to tile windows. You cannot just hold your Option key (meta key, windows key, menu key, or whatever you call it). Option just allows you to tile left and right or maximize, but not tile windows into the custom tiling grid.

I'm installing Cachy OS what desktop environment should I choose? I come from windows 10.

The only thing I've heard about is Gnome because I see people constantly complaining about it

>bazeet
>cashyy
>cashyyyyy
so tiresome
nobody ever has anything interesting to say
just same old meme distro of the month jerking

>>110013597
Gnome requires you to relearn your preconceived notions of how to operate within a gui. I got used to it and shit just slaps I don't want to go back.

So go with KDE for now and don't change the ugly defaults, you'll just make them uglier.

>>110013330
Well aside from the dkms thing zfs does basically behave as a first class citizen

>>110013637
They should've called it cachy instead of cachyos

>>110013597
Gnome with the "dash to panel" extension

>>110013703
for me it's simple taskbar

>>110013650
I don't see kde, I do see plasma tho, whatever that is

>>110013715
Yeah that's it

>>110013674
>the dkms thing zfs does
Ah, so you're clueless. Glad we settled that early on.

>>110013729
Plasma is kde? What's the deal with kde and gnome?
