  • GNU Linux how to install arch (with btrfs and without frustration) + minimalistic latest MATE Desktop

    Jump

  • especially if you ever do a hard-shutdown, prone to power-outages, etc. It will scramble your system files.

    Btrfs is made precisely so that a power outages don't do that! and you don't end up like ext4 with bad superblock nonsense.

    Been using Btrfs for over 3 years at this point, 0 issues and over 400 unsafe shutdowns: https://imgur.com/a/AKXFdKb

    In fact it was able to detect when my previous ssd was dying, I thought Btrfs was spewing nonsense until the next day when smartctl began to report issues as well lol.

  • Wayland Will Never Be Ready For Every X11 User

    Jump

  • I started linux with wayland and i have no clue why it’s such a controversy lmao.

    I recently ran into an user that rarely used x11. We were testing lsfg-vk, and right now it has a bug that when you close the game it most of the time it hangs and doesn't quick properly.

    The person complained about having to open the terminal to kill the app when it hangs and I had to explain that this is not an issue for me because I use xkill which they never knew was a thing that avoided that whole mess of having to open a terminal to kill a window.

    But anyways, not a big deal if you can no longer use xkill, it is a very handy tool that saves a lot of key presses but not a vital thing in the end.

    The big issue holding me on x11 is that there is no way to merge multiple displays as one, something that on x11 is a very simple xrandr --setmonitor is impossible on wayland, there is no way to do it.

  • There are lots of issues with Wayland. They will be fixed

    Remind me 2030 if these issues I have get fixed:

    https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/8000

    https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/8001

    https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/8002

    https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/8191 I later learned the reason sway is using capabilities is to fix performance issues, which yeah still has several...

    One issue the wayland proponents fail to notice is that the ecosystem itself is fragmented, you have several DEs/WM with their own implementations and bugs that will likely never be fixed.

    I'm an i3wm user, my only option to switch to is sway, doesn't matter if some of the issues I have are fixed in kwin or mutter, it has to be fixed in sway.

    But most Linux desktop users use Wayland already.

    Most desktop users use windows, and they are happy with that, why don't you stop using linux and move to windows?

    Everyday there are more and more apps that are Wayland only. Before 2030, that list will include all GNOME and most GTK apps. Are people really going to give up all these applications because of some obscure advantage they perceive in X11?

    https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/12to11-git

    people writing these articles do not realize that they are already in the minority and have already been left behind.

    Doesn't remove the fact that wayland still sucks 😆

  • Wayland support for multi-monitor configurations is better than X1

    Alright, how do I merge the 3 displays that I have as one then?

    https://www.reddit.com/r/wayland/comments/108dgwc/combine_monitors_to_single_screen/

    Whatever performance degradation you claim to experience is also a “you” thing

    It is one of the reasons why Eden disabled wayland by default but sure thing, just a me thing 😆

    There’s an underlying issue with your setup.

    Yeah, it is called sway.

    I don't even use a login manager, directly login from tty and just launch each respective game, sway is able to use my i3 config directly, the only change in this setup is the window manager.

    Also note, this performance issue is not present in BeamNG, it only happens with Eden, citron, etc (all yuzu forks).

  • A lot of the new modern users are into gamin

    I can't use wayland for gaming because I do multi-monitor gaming, and something that was a very simple xrandr --setmonitor is impossible in wayland...

    I 100% have seen performance increases and stability increases after switching to Wayland with regards to gaming workloads.

    All I have seen so far is that I get half the fps I get on citron/eden on sway vs i3wm.

    They are also fed up with the wayland bugs and decided to force xcb everywhere, one of the bugs is that the app just crashes on wayland gnome, it does not happen plasma, or sway, or any other place, just gnome.

  • Most flatpak runtimes only have 2 years or support, or in the case of the GNOME runtime 1 year lol.

    So yeah you have a "stable" target for a few years at most, then the new runtime comes, breaks something and the project ends up using an EOL runtime, like OBS or more recently prusa slicer.

  • Why no central script repository?

    Jump

  • So… why not create a secure script repository? On a central website you would create an account for a project and submit a script. On the other side we would provide a binary client that will download and execute the script (we can call it grunt from get and run it). So as a user you would run for example grunt rustup and it would get and execute the script created by rustup project. I imagine it shouldn’t be that difficult to add a tiny package to the major distros.

    https://github.com/pkgforge/soar

    However instead of running scripts on your machine, soar runs them in CI and stores the binaries for you to download.

  • What's your "Oh fuck, that actually worked!" Linux moment that made you feel like a wizard?

    Jump

  • If you have binary that is hardcoded to look for some files/libs in a certain path, you can overwrite that path with sed directly lol. You just need to make sure to keep the string length the same.

    sed -i s|/usr|././|g will change /usr for the current working dir for example.

    And it's devs are not willing to fix the most basic issues like correctly handing a fucking environment variable lmao

    https://github.com/swaywm/sway/pull/7380#issuecomment-2453356422

    Not to mention I have a different issue that I haven't even bothered to report because I already know won't be implemented:

    I have 3 displays that right now I use xrandr to merge the 3 displays into one, this is not possible in any wayland compositor today, the closest thing I found was someone suggesting to use gamescope to make a window with the resolution of the 3 displays but that's a hack and doesn't work for me because I need the displays to be merged, not just span a single window across them.

    There is also no universal xdotool or similar in wayland to query info about windows, so you have to learn to use the CLI tool provided by each DE/WM and then handle the data, which in the case of sway it is json formatted.

    So what used to be a simple xdotool <args> | grep became needlessly overcomplicated and different for each wayland DE/WM.

  • Alright be aware that AM not only can manage appimages, it also manages other portable formats and has access to over a 1000 static binaries from soarpkgs repo.

    And it can do all of this at user level when used as appman, that is elevated rights are never needed to install anything and I can just take my HOME and drop it on any distro and be ready to go.

    It made me get rid of flatpak all together and become an appimage contributor lol

    Is topgrade used to update all the package managers at once? how many stuff are you using that you need that???

  • but I would have expected Fedora to come with something like this preinstalled tbh

    Fedora is just plagued with poor decisions, and that's expected, it is the testing ground of redhat and not something that regular users should be using, they even go as far as repacking existing flatpaks just because and then break them.

    A while back they pulled this nonsense that not even upstream approves of: https://gitlab.com/gnuwget/wget2/-/issues/661

    iirc fedora also enabled wayland by default on gnome in 2016 when pretty much nothing worked.

    Rhino linux lets you install AM thru its GUI installer btw.
