  • First real Arch user moment [Mission Failed]

    Jump

  • You were super unlucky then, had you installed Endeavor with the same settings, it could have crashed the exact same way.

    The difference between Archinstall installed Arch & EndeavorOS is very minimal and overrated. In this case I think the fix would have been picking the LTS kernel until 6.8 is released.

  • 6.7 kernel on btrfs is a shitshow, could be that here too. (btrfs subvolume corruption)

  • I get that, but if you want to play with new games, the latest mesa is what you want. sings BTRFS song for rollback

    For example even on ArchBTW I had to wait more than a month for a Mesa update to fix Alan Wake 2 for me.

  • I don't understand why would you want to use Arch for dev work and popos for gaming. Arch is not stable and will cause some issues every now and then and PopOS is worse for gaming, but is far more reliable on a production machine.

  • GNOME 46 is Coming in Hot With These 6 Features

    Jump

  • KDE devs have taken steps to make more Gnome-like software. A new generation of Gnome devs in the distant future could go full circle ^

  • GNOME 46 is Coming in Hot With These 6 Features

    Jump

  • Gnome especially Mutter is a big reason why I waited for so long to make the full switch.

  • My Windows 10 install broke, but I'm hesitant to switch to Linux.

    Jump

  • Fedora is a much better choice for a new user than Endeavor. (E is good, but it's very sink or swim, it's better to start with something else) So that's good. Don't know about the mod organizer, but I would be quite surprised if it didn't work, though using a windows program to navigate a Linux folder structure is something to get used to.( I played Starfield recently and installed mods manually )

    As for anticheat, yeah that's true. (Not that I would ever consider willingly installing spyware like that on my computer, nor are they very effective outside of stealing user data that is)

    As for Proton of course it works. Having a dedicated GPU will significantly increase compatibility, even if it's nvidia. Though if you want to source your games outside of Steam you really shouldn't bother with the Steam client, just use bottles.

  • Why use immutable Linux ? And which one ?

    Jump

  • The only benefit for a normal desktop user, who never plans to write code (or deploy stuff on multiple PCs) is that immutability makes updates far safer and easier.

    However this is the single largest weakness the Linux desktop has. Everyone can use a linux computer, maintenance though is always a problem. No one has succeeded at making a regular distribution that never needs command line intervention and a degree of knowhow to unbreak. (not counting Chrome OS) Maybe someday soon we'll have an immutable distribution that's truly just install and forget. (with good DE options like the new cosmic or even a carefully put together Hyprland rice)

  • I tried, I really did

    Jump

  • I get it, but could your use case e any more niche?

  • HandBrake 1.7.3 Open-Source Video Transcoder Released with Linux Fixes

    Jump

  • Oh so that's what that was. I just cranked the volume on my eeePC. (I use handbrake to make SD videos for that ancient computer)

  • looking for half-stable Linux distro

    Jump

  • If Debian is too DIY for you, then you could try LMDE with the BTRFS filesystem and Timeshift for maximum safety and far less DIY.

  • Firefox Devs Working on Tab Previews

    Jump

  • This is not even close to the worst thing they have ever done, but stuff like this is a waste of resources. People mostly want official vertical tabs and more than anything engine performance improvements. (and the ability to pretend to be Chrome in Youtube)

  • I made my honest 2024 Tier list, What's your thoughts on this?

    Jump

  • I tried many times, though not recently and I agree with it being worse than just redundant. Sure, it's usable and maintainable, but it's objectively a bad idea.

    You can just run vanilla arch, or one of the installers like Endeavor OS and just use BTRFS snapshots to counter breakages instead of Manjaro's delay thing managed by people I just cannot take very seriously.

  • New to Linux? Ubuntu Isn’t Your Only Option

    Jump

  • There is a shill on YT called Linuxcast. (I like his content, but he is defo a Suse shill) Personally i'd rather fix some arch fuckups, then to not have the AUR. (or if I don't have the AUR, then just use Debian)

  • The 9 Smallest Linux Distros That Are Super Lightweight

    Jump

  • Chrunchbang or Bunsen are exactly this, vanilla Debian with stuff set up with openbox. The vast majority of ppl don't need anything more lightweight than this. (maybe conky should be removed, but that's it.)

    If the old PC in question is a small laptop, such as an EEEpc, then I would use vanilla Debian with i3, because I really would want tiling on that..

  • Why has nobody ever heard of Distrobox? Let me tell you why everyone should take a look at it!

    Jump

  • My take is that on an Arch system I can install anything and I have btrfs snapshots to roll back forkups. I don't need this added layer of complexity in its current form. If it offered proper and easily configurable sandboxing I would certainly think about it.

    (Then again I have a Deb laptop and perhaps I will try this out for Pyradio)

  • Microsoft is adding a new key to PC keyboards for the first time since 1994

    Jump

  • I don't think i'll ever have a keyboard that has this, since I use custom keyboards with my own retro pbt keycaps. Looking at the illustration it would replace right super, so probably no one would need to change existing binds for that.

  • Darktable 4.6 Open-Source RAW Image Editor Released, Here's What's New

    Jump

  • It shows me a very wrongly processed image. It was better when I used Fuji, but even then it was never anywhere close to what an unprocessed bland raw file should like.

  • What's an elegant way of automatically backing up the contents of a large drive to multiple smaller drives that add up to the capacity of the large drive?

    Jump

  • This is really is not a good idea for a backup.
