river geyser Sep 23, 2023, 8:54 PM

#

Just figuresd that out.

frosty condor Sep 23, 2023, 8:54 PM

#

lol

#

try sudo pacman -Syyu again

river geyser Sep 23, 2023, 8:55 PM

#

Is it always this complicated

frosty condor Sep 23, 2023, 8:55 PM

#

if you go without updating for too long then yes

river geyser Sep 23, 2023, 8:55 PM

#

Like you have one issue in linux you wanna fix but end it having more problems

frosty condor Sep 23, 2023, 8:55 PM

#

arch is rolling release

#

not designed to not be updated for too long

river geyser Sep 23, 2023, 8:55 PM

#

Ah that makes sense. So how often should I update

frosty condor Sep 23, 2023, 8:56 PM

#

debian is what you need if you plan to not update for a year

frosty condor Sep 23, 2023, 8:56 PM

#

river geyser Ah that makes sense. So how often should I update

i do everyday after finishing my stuff for the day

#

before turning of the pc

#

once a week is completely fine

#

once in two weeks is stretching, you start to see 1.5gb of updates

river geyser Sep 23, 2023, 8:57 PM

#

OK I'll try to update every day.

frosty condor Sep 23, 2023, 8:57 PM

#

once a month is when shit starts hitting the fan

river geyser Sep 23, 2023, 8:58 PM

#

Yeah I never updated in a long time

#

I should get into that habit

#

Wha'ts dracut

frosty condor Sep 23, 2023, 9:00 PM

#

afaik its what manages drivers and kernel and so on

#

part of system core

#

when it fails you cant boot

river geyser Sep 23, 2023, 9:00 PM

#

Ah

frosty condor Sep 23, 2023, 9:00 PM

#

i take it as you being able to update

river geyser Sep 23, 2023, 9:00 PM

#

#

I'll be back. I'm about to reboot

frosty condor Sep 23, 2023, 9:02 PM

#

thumbs_up

river geyser Sep 23, 2023, 9:03 PM

#

Good news bad news

#

Good news is everything updated

frosty condor Sep 23, 2023, 9:03 PM

#

no sdcard?

river geyser Sep 23, 2023, 9:04 PM

#

Trying now but it removed my wallpaper

frosty condor Sep 23, 2023, 9:04 PM

#

lmao

river geyser Sep 23, 2023, 9:04 PM

#

Does it always do that

#

I DONT MEAN TO JINX IT BUT IT WORKS

frosty condor Sep 23, 2023, 9:07 PM

#

river geyser Does it always do that

nope

frosty condor Sep 23, 2023, 9:07 PM

#

river geyser I DONT MEAN TO JINX IT BUT IT WORKS

try again after a reboot

#

just to make sure

river geyser Sep 23, 2023, 9:08 PM

#

OK

#

The SD card works i meant

frosty condor Sep 23, 2023, 9:10 PM

#

thts awesome

#

we saved and installation

river geyser Sep 23, 2023, 9:10 PM

#

Lemme try the wallpaper issue

#

But since it wasn’t the SD card fault but rather NEMO shat happens it nemo does it again

frosty condor Sep 23, 2023, 9:12 PM

#

if nemo doesnt work, thunar is also a good file manager

river geyser Sep 23, 2023, 9:12 PM

#

Ok everything works now

#

Ok. Ill do that next time it fails

#

Dude everything is soo different in the update

frosty condor Sep 23, 2023, 9:14 PM

#

like what

#

when was the last time you updated lol

river geyser Sep 23, 2023, 9:15 PM

#

I can’t remember

frosty condor Sep 23, 2023, 9:16 PM

#

by changes you mean in the ui?

river geyser Sep 23, 2023, 9:16 PM

#

Yeah it's sleeker

#

Although it is kinda slow even for my high end laptop

#

Every time I take a screen shot to show you it takes a while to screen shot it

frosty condor Sep 23, 2023, 9:19 PM

#

see if there's some time delay

#

shouldnt be slow

#

kde plasma which is heavier runs great on my 2nd gen i3 laptop

river geyser Sep 23, 2023, 9:20 PM

#

Huh how do i find a time delay

frosty condor Sep 23, 2023, 9:21 PM

#

on the screenshot tool lol

#

i dont use cinnamon so idk

river geyser Sep 23, 2023, 9:23 PM

#

Why do distros and hacks have delicious sounding names

#

I hacked my wii u with tiramisu

#

And no delays

frosty condor Sep 23, 2023, 9:25 PM

#

river geyser Why do distros and hacks have delicious sounding names

endeavouros is hardly delicious lmao

river geyser Sep 23, 2023, 9:25 PM

#

But it is intriguing

frosty condor Sep 23, 2023, 9:25 PM

#

ugly logo too

#

but works perfectly for me

river geyser Sep 23, 2023, 9:28 PM

#

Thats odd it worked fine before the update

#

It works

#

Here's what my UI looks like now

frosty condor Sep 23, 2023, 9:31 PM

#

looks nice

#

cinnamon looks always good

#

still prefer plasma blur tho

#

you can use gnome-disk-utility for managing drives

#

its like windows's disk management but infinitely better

river geyser Sep 23, 2023, 9:33 PM

#

Huh. How do i isntall plasma then

frosty condor Sep 23, 2023, 9:34 PM

#

its a seperate desktop environment

#

i'd not install it without a clean install

river geyser Sep 23, 2023, 9:34 PM

#

Ah OK nvm then. I just got this one working I ain't migrating to anything else haha

frosty condor Sep 23, 2023, 9:34 PM

#

cinnamon is completely fine too its just preference

river geyser Sep 23, 2023, 9:35 PM

#

Is gparted still pretty good for disk managment

frosty condor Sep 23, 2023, 9:36 PM

#

gparted is more formatting

#

more serious tool

#

gnome disk utility is better for casual use

river geyser Sep 23, 2023, 9:37 PM

#

Ah OK that's neat

frosty condor Sep 23, 2023, 9:39 PM

#

you can also set to mount internal partitions automatically

#

and format drives etc

river geyser Sep 23, 2023, 9:42 PM

#

Idk when ill use that but thats cool

#

The mounting internal partition thing

frosty condor Sep 23, 2023, 9:43 PM

#

saved my ass couple of times when i needed to tinker in fstab

#

disk utility does that with a nice ui

river geyser Sep 23, 2023, 9:44 PM

#

Fstab?

frosty condor Sep 23, 2023, 9:45 PM

#

a file with all the moutpoint data

#

tells linux to find and mount correct drives when booting up

river geyser Sep 23, 2023, 9:46 PM

#

Oh so you can swap different devices you wanna boot to via it?

frosty condor Sep 23, 2023, 9:47 PM

#

kinda?

#

imagine you go to a building and you have a note telling you where's your room

#

that note is what fstab is like

#

"file system table"

river geyser Sep 23, 2023, 9:48 PM

#

Ohhhhh

#

That’s sounds extremely similar to a networking table that maps IP addressed to the domain name

frosty condor Sep 23, 2023, 9:49 PM

#

absolutely cruicial part of the system and shouldnt be meddled with just for shits and giggles

frosty condor Sep 23, 2023, 9:49 PM

#

river geyser That’s sounds extremely similar to a networking table that maps IP addressed to ...

kinda yes

river geyser Sep 23, 2023, 9:50 PM

#

I forgot the proper name but yeah. Also basically if u mess of fstab you mess up the entire os

frosty condor Sep 23, 2023, 9:53 PM

#

kinda yes

#

glad its all working now then

#

good luck in life

#

peace ✌️
