I decided to update Ubuntu to 26.4.1 and apparently the site is down? Now my box just shits itself, tried Grub, can see the drive, filesystem. Can't get it to boot. Fails in the recovery, busybox and initramfs whatever is unresponsive. Where can I get an ISO to fix this?

Thanks anon! Going to see if I can recover it. Ended up chasing a bunch of stuff and likely fucked my boot stuff up. Hopefully now I can recover what I want and just start fresh. Fucking hell. Doesn't help that this site won't let anyone post from their ISP anymore with the spam IP bullshit. Hate using the phone.

Meta now uses nts to authenticate securely with ntp. Most distributions are using systemd's timesync, which is literally a 1980s insecure protocol with no nts. If you are on Ubuntu 26.04 (fresh install, not upgrade), nts is already the default because it uses chrony with their own nts time servers. Pop also has their own time servers supporting nts too. For all other distributions you should be using Cloudflare, Meta or another provider with nts...not some random insecure servers.

Google Public NTP and time.aws.com are insecure. The NTP Pool Project only has insecure ntp too (vast majority of distributions like Debian and Linux Mint are still relying on this).

The main cdimage.ubuntu.com seems to work fine for me. I know Ubuntu is messing with GRUB these days to make it more "secure".

Thanks anon, I saw some timing 'errors' and some security shit that looked like it was hardware/bios related, I think secure boot type stuff.

Hello anons, here's an update

I first installed Arch on the laptop and I really enjoyed it, but I must admit I was overwhelmed at first. I used Arch with KDE Plasma and thought it was okay, but I wanted to explore other distros. I tried Mİnt, didn't quite like it and eventually settled on CachyOS with XFCE.
Here's my current setup - any suggestions, tips? I want to add more plugins or widgets. Only covered the necessary apps right now; LibraOffice, Gimp and Krita.

Really new to Linux but enjoying it a lot. My computer is really faster and although the file storage and terminal was scary at first, I think I am getting the hang of it now.

Honestly I think it's ready enough that I haven't had any issues coming from hyprland. I did transfer all my keybindings and that worked well.

>>110041350
Yeah I just don't want the config syntax changing on every update but if it becomes as good as noctalia I'll probably switch eventually

When it comes to installing it on Arch I basically just use piecemeal groups instead of the whole meta package. My usual group set is "plasma, kde-system, kde-utilities, kde-graphics" along with ffmpegthumbs.

>>110042307
so you install the plasma group and those kde apps groups?

>>110042319
"plasma" as a group gives you a basic KDE desktop while the "kde-x" groups include certain kinds of programs. This set gives you modern KDE without most of its bloat.

My distro is now running properly on my laptop and can rebuild itself on the fly without issues: >>110038890

Next thing I am wondering is the chicken and the egg problem with this, should I keep the original bootstrap process intact or should I ditch it and start building the distro's new base images using the distro itself? I'm leaning on keeping the original bootstrap so that I can always reproduce the initial build and the bootstrap wouldn't have a circular dependency on its own output. I read a bit and I see many distros have lost their original boostrap, it's called "lift off" I guess so they depend on their output to produce the output, which is wild but I guess it makes the build faster and more isolated/stable.

considering he's going for a more lightweight setup, coupled with the thunderbird picture, it seems like he's asking for something lighter to replace thunderbird with.

this is why i responded with claws mail, since that's similar to my reasons. i used to use thunderbird, but nowadays it's just overkill for my purposes. actually i used it as far back as it being part of mozilla ("if you know you know" as they say), actually you can still do that today if you want to use seamonkey...
in any case, claws mail gives you that familiar old outlook express/old thunderbird-like interface while being really lightweight. as in it has optional support for html mail (i don't care for html mail so i don't compile it in) along with support for a few different html engines if you do need that.

there are even lighter options, like some tui clients, but i don't feel the need to go that far myself

>>110050160
What went wrong is you didn't create a system snapshot before running updates.

>>110050160
You skipped 43 and updated directly to 44, I assume. Skipping versions is known to cause issues. If you want to defer updates for over a year but then apply all updates at some point, use the atomic fedora variants. Updates there are stable and recovery from failed updates is either automatic or trivial to handle.

>>110050160
Yep, this is why they invented atomic distros. The base image can be swapped any time and you never have to worry about updates.

ah ok yeah that makes sense thank you, was worried it would just put random bullshit anywhere else.

>>110050224
I learned this the hard way skipping a major version for a debian (rpi) installation. I have never appreciated Arch updates more.

Have they ever considered just copying Windows & not having things not work?
On Windows, when you plug your laptop into a tv, audio and video work immediately. On Linux, you have to spend 10 minutes troubleshooting with AI to discover there was some weird NVIDIA compatibility error that made audio not work.
Personally, I would just make this functional.

>>110051995
Pretty sure Arch breaks if you leave it too long. It's just harder to say exactly how long that is. At least with Debian you can still achieve an updated system if you don't skip major versions.

>>110052287
If you don't update it for like a month or so you can have keyring issues which stops updates from working properly. Easy fix though, just do "sudo pacman -Sy archlinux-keyring && sudo pacman -Su" as a full update command.

>>110052287
I have some old laptops I've neglected updates on for over a year before and it's not a problem at all.
As anon said, as long as you fix the keyring issue, the update should just werk. Any breakage encountered would be from software changes that would have caused breakage when updating normally anyway.

you have to not update for a good while for it to break cause of that

I used vanilla gnome for the longest time, and the only thing I downloaded gnome tweaks for was to scale a wallpaper. Idk why they don't have wallpaper scaling. That's pretty much my only complain. Gnome classic looks kinda ugly, but I can see it being useful for people who like using their mouse more.

I won't use a DE that forces mpv to render its titlebar with the subtitle engine

Every time I think I am ready I realize I'm still missing something. Well at least it's installed on my laptop now.

I'm having this same fucking issue in KDE plasma.
https://www.mail-archive.com/kde-bugs-dist%40kde.org/msg1070505.html

How the actual FUCK hasn't it been fixed yet? This is so annoying.
When hovering over window previews in the panel, half the time it doesn't show where the actual window is on your screen. You have to go through the previews very slowly for it to work properly.

ALSO in between the previews there is an empty space that makes it preview nothing so when moving your mouse through the previews it flickers quickly going between 2 windows.

ALSO when there's too many previews to fit on the screen, the fucking scroll wheel doesn't work on window previews, yet it shows an ugly unnecessary scroll bar?

It's incredible how broken linux is and how they refuse to fix even basic shit.
So many of these tiny bugs I have to find workarounds or just deal with it.

Thats bad ass! I'm building my own iso too! I bought an ewaste laptop and now I'm gonna build my own computer!

>>110057380
Yes, building the contents of an .iso image, what's the problem here?

It's your fault for using shit features with bad UX. This garbage is annoying no matter what OS or DE you use.

btrs has gotten much better
fat32 you might need partition for secureboot

I'm used to it from windows. I like it more than any of the other ways of using the gui on linux.

If they want windows users to switch they can start by fixing basic windows like features

>>110044338

it¨s called eternal september
they found the settings for media player

thunderbird is easy
alpine plus sendmail if you want remote access

>>110057567
I'm using it on Windows because there's no other choice and it's quite literally the same if not worse than it is on Linux.

>>110045348

how would i know what others have
captionfags likely still gimp it

>>110048216

yes
but why not run head 720p

>>110049880

no usually just press e and edit entry

Nobody wants that

have you tried windows with wsl for linux stuff

>>110052231

it is
just browse through sound mixer

usually users do not buy into suse or rhel

>>110057738
That wasn't the fix.

Nvidia hasn't considered making things just work, no

Claude, reverse engineer the nvidia driver and fix all the bugs. Make no mistakes

>>110058280
Due remarks made by Linus Torvalds in a June 2012 Q&A session at Aalto University in Finland, Nvidia has flagged all Linux related bugs as "Features".

>>110057905

yes i have not got any nvidia

>>110058280

look what you did
klaude is katatonic now

>>110057346
you know how people bitch about gnome refusing to implement certain things or removing features for more minimalism
kde plasma developers are the same way but with bugs, they dont care about it being a buggy mess, they will only work on what they want to work which is more bloat and features nobody asked for
kde plasma will never stop being buggy because nobody wants to fix the bugs

>>110059766
because they don't have to serve consumers, nobody is paying for this shit
at least businesses TRY to make good products people want to use

>>110060340
Must be why windows is so great and no one even thinks about switching to linux

>>110059766
Odd as well. Fixing old, long-standing bugs is far more satisfying and commendable than introducing a duct-taped-together new function only <10% of users care about.

Maybe it's a generational thing where they need to get dopamine fed. Introduce some sort of point system on github, where one gets increasingly more, the older an issue is that is resolved.

are you talking about this? works for me

>>110060759
Yes. It does not work for me.
I mean it works when I move the mouse very slowly, but otherwise it doesnt hide other windows and show the one i am hovering over

using cachyos dual monitor, 4k screen

No questions but I figured out how to route torrents through my vpn using network manager. I always had a problem getting split tunneling to work properly on windows. Now muh chinese cartoon downloads will not affect my korean mmo gameplay! I am hacker man

Thoughts on the Dell Latitude 3310 as a shitty cheap linux laptop? I could get one for 50 bucks.

>>110061735
It's better than my stinkpad

>>110061735
50 bucks for a 2020 laptop is a steal, might be something wrong with it

Deprecated doesn't mean broken.

>>110052465
I think the problem is that a "pro" version looks shady, especially for a linux distro
People just need to get into the habit of donating more. Almost everyone who uses linux can probably afford a one-time $20 donation for their favorite distro with zero consequences to their personal finances (excepting the absolute poverty poorfags, obviously if those $20 actually materially affect your life I don't expect to give anything) and I am willing to bet that if everyone actually gave that it would dwarf the current funding available to most distros.

>>110062596
Deprecated means you shouldn't use it for some reason or other.
I don't see any reason not to use X11. It still gets regular security fixes and all.

>>110042452
openbox hasn't had a release since 2015 and it still works just fine.
it's completed software.

my advice is to stop worrying about whether something you're using is actively maintained per-se and instead judge things based on whether they do the job for you or not.

i'm sure people still happily use dwm

>>110051096
I'm on 7.0.0-38 and don't use xpadneo
I don't know what version, but one of the later 6.x.x kernels support Xbone bluetooth controllers
