[crude sluice]

reboot and select zorin during boot

[fallen raptor]

I got Ubuntu and Uefi OS

I would assume Ubuntu is the Grub

Because it was that last time

[crude sluice]

try that

[fallen raptor]

And UEFI OS is Zorin, because Ubuntu also showed as that last time

Fancy bootloader

[crude sluice]

did it work?

[crude sluice]

lets goo

[fallen raptor]

Seems to be booting

[crude sluice]

first steps, do sudo apt update and apt upgrade like before

[fallen raptor]

Yup

[crude sluice]

then do update-grub and let it do its thing

[fallen raptor]

LES GO

Booted up

And showed the user list

The jelly mode is fun xD

[crude sluice]

any reso issues?

[fallen raptor]

Didn't update yet

I named my user after an anime character

Power of anime 👍

[crude sluice]

I named my pcs as a joke but there might actually be some truth to this

it explains my good luck with installs

[fallen raptor]

We're living in a simulation

Btw what did you name your PC?

[crude sluice]

Seo for main and Tsugumi for server

[fallen raptor]

Damn

What do you use the server for?

Just curious

Alr it's done updating

[crude sluice]

Syncthing for file transfer between devices, Klipper for 3d printer stuff, and a minecraft server

I tried mining monero but it aint worth it with a r5 2600, headless no gpu and all

[fallen raptor]

Welp

I named my PC this dude

[surreal pine]

bro got a nasa pc now 🔥

[fallen raptor]

Ikr 🔥

I can't wait for the new season, I'll be better off reading the Manga

[surreal pine]

last year I was almost ready to go all in on NixOS and had names for every device ready but I came back to arch

[crude sluice]

what did you name your main arch install?

[fallen raptor]

I think this anime naming scheme is pretty popular

[surreal pine]

used NixOS as daily driver for 3 months on desktop but then gave up

[surreal pine]

I kept the name the same

for desktop at least

[brave agate]

named my arch kurumi 🔥

[surreal pine]

I just let ChatGPT cook and it cooked with meaning behind choosing them too XD

[brave agate]

XD

[fallen raptor]

Who's gonna name their PC Chadano next?

Resolution problem again 😭

[surreal pine]

what's wrong with the resolution? (I just joined the conversation 💀)

[crude sluice]

Cannot make it fit the screen, both in mint and now in zorin

[fallen raptor]

I had to force it in Mint then my system got corrupted for some reason

[surreal pine]

how's the resolution when in grub?

[fallen raptor]

The same

Pretty sure

1024x768

[surreal pine]

hmm desktop or laptop?

[fallen raptor]

It's a laptop CPU so laptop

It's a Desktop

With a laptop CPU in it 🗿

[surreal pine]

what did you do to force it? 🤔

[fallen raptor]

Xrandr

I just tried it didn't work

[crude sluice]

from this vid https://youtu.be/pkzrQqT_lFI?si=JH2tg4hpwHwYOApN

[surreal pine]

what gpu are you using?

[fallen raptor]

Integrated

CPU is Intel Celeron J1800

And I'm using a damaged VGA cable, people are saying this might be the cause

[crude sluice]

doesnt happen with windows so I dont think so

[fallen raptor]

Yeah

[crude sluice]

but if it indeed the case, it should be possible to force the reso so he doesnt need to replace the cable

[fallen raptor]

Windows automatically got my resolution

[surreal pine]

I remember someone having a similar issue

windows works but no linux distro can detect his correct resolution

[crude sluice]

I guess I got lucky cuz update and upgrading fixed all of my reso issues, on all of my devices

[crude sluice]

After going over the video, I think that the trouble comes after doing the thing to make the resolution change stick

wait I think I found a solution

do the same thing until the gedit part

[fallen raptor]

Just did

Lemme try again

[crude sluice]

dont do the gedit part

saw this in the comments

replace it with your info

[fallen raptor]

Yeah

I did it yesterday

[crude sluice]

did you do this and the gedit thing in the video?

or only this?

[fallen raptor]

Yeah and I think I messed up the gedit part

Causing the bootloop

[crude sluice]

did you do the solution in the comments and the thing in the video? or just the solution in the comments?

[fallen raptor]

In the description

I also watched the video

[crude sluice]

I guess im getting myself confused, but you should not be doing both, jsut the solution in the video

[fallen raptor]

They're the same

In the description it just lists the commands

[crude sluice]

can i see your ~./profile file first?

[fallen raptor]

The issue is rn

I did the xrandr

But 1920x1080 doesn't show

In display settings

[crude sluice]

your monitor cant do 1920x1080

[fallen raptor]

It can, my TV runs at 1920x1080

With Google Chromecast plugged in

Similar to Fire stick

[crude sluice]

what resolution does windows run at?

[fallen raptor]

1920x1080

[crude sluice]

I see

can you send me the output for xrandr?

[fallen raptor]

It says I already have it

But in settings I don't

[crude sluice]

enter cvt 1920 1080

i know you did this but I wanna see if it spews out something out of the ordinary

[crude sluice]

so far so good

do xrandr --newmode "1920x1080... to +vsync

copy the line from "1920.. to the end

and show me the output

[crude sluice]

dont do sudo

[fallen raptor]

Same issue

[crude sluice]

did this happen last time as well?

[fallen raptor]

Nope

[crude sluice]

do the same line but replace "1920x1080_60.00" to "1920 1080"

if you press the up arrow key, you can get the previous terminal command

[fallen raptor]

Yeh

[crude sluice]

any errors this time?

[fallen raptor]

No luck

Same error let me research

[crude sluice]

try "1080p" instead of "1920 1080"

it that doesnt work, i've found out about something called "arandr" which is like xrandr but with a gui

[fallen raptor]

My display is is XLANDWAY0

I've been mistaking 0 for O this entire time 😭

[crude sluice]

oof

[fallen raptor]

And yet it still doesn't work

Let's do a reboot

Some people are saying I need to edit some files on GRUB

[crude sluice]

you fixed grub, I don't think the reso issue is with grub anymore

[fallen raptor]

The thing is

[surreal pine]

does grub detect 1080p?

[fallen raptor]

Grub is also in that resolution

[fallen raptor]

I don't even know if GRUB detects resolution or what it does

Only thing I know is it's a bootloader

[surreal pine]

hmm It doesn't then, otherwise it'd be at 1080p, and everything would work fine

[fallen raptor]

So how do I make it detect 1080p?

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet video=<port-name>:<resolution-w>x<resolution-h>@<refresh-rate>"

[surreal pine]

usually it should detect automatically but I guess it's having trouble understanding your setp

[fallen raptor]

https://askubuntu.com/questions/1365626/ubuntu-21-04-how-to-fix-xrandr-x-error-of-failed-request-badvalue-integer-p

Forum link

[crude sluice]

worth a shot

[fallen raptor]

Yeah I have unlimited time anyways

So is my port number just VGA-1 or the stuff before it?

Because back in Mint

I just used VGA-1

[surreal pine]

should be just VGA-1

[fallen raptor]

Have no idea where I should add the line

Nvm

Found it

[surreal pine]

this is the line you're looking for

[fallen raptor]

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT

Yup

It said on the forum

[surreal pine]

just add the video option after splash

[fallen raptor]

I added and I did Grub update

I went back to the file and it was just like it was

Do I have to save it or anything

There's no option to save

[crude sluice]

ctrl s to save

then ctrl x to leave

[surreal pine]

ctrl+o in nano*

[crude sluice]

ctrl+o is save as

[fallen raptor]

Okay the line is there

Ctrl S worked

[surreal pine]

nano has ctrl+s? damn

[fallen raptor]

But it doesn't show on the bottom

It showed Ctrl O as Write Out

[surreal pine]

yea I thought ctrl+o is the only way to save in nano

[crude sluice]

i cant code for shit so I dont have a good text editor, ive been using nano alot when I need to edit files

[surreal pine]

:wq FTW

[fallen raptor]

Yo I think something's happening

It became big

From that small tiny box

[surreal pine]

progress 🔥

[fallen raptor]

Indeed

Finally full screen

But I have that blank space on the side now 💀

Let's try 1920x1200 shall we

My TV has an interesting scaling system.

1366x768 is perfectly in the middle

So if I double it

2732x1536

Let's try that 💀

No change

My resolution came back to 1024x768 💀

[fallen raptor]

I lowered the resolution of the long side

And it still wouldn't fill that gap 💀

My only option, center it with gaps in both sides

[turbid cobalt]

Did you manage to fix it?

[fallen raptor]

Yup

With gaps

I don't mind them

[turbid cobalt]

T-T

[fallen raptor]

It will decrease fps in games anyways

[fallen raptor]

https://youtu.be/HbgzrKJvDRw?si=GDWb259M6AUv01QM

The most useful yt video I've ever seen

[cerulean vine]

Ew what the fuck?

[dry mason]

I will switch to linux when I'll start living alone

shits to depressing for the family pc

[fallen raptor]

Linux is worth switching over Windows

my opinion after 16 hours of using

[trim acorn]

WSL

[cerulean vine]

🤮

[cerulean vine]

W

[turbid cobalt]

I agree

[silk adder]

https://tenor.com/view/can-we-ban-this-guy-gif-21304842

[silk adder]

you dont need to know about that stuff,,, hopefully someday all packages come in a well storage optimized containerized format

flatpak is half ass there

but not good enough

user experience wise

[silk adder]

just focus on /home

~ means user's home
~/.config is the default XDG_CONFIG_HOME
~/.local/share is the XDG_DATA_HOME
~/.local/bin is common convention for storing binaries downloaded by user for user, basically not multi user install, so sudo isnt needed

the . before name means this are hidden directories, press ctrl+h to display hidden files

[silk adder]

image something that ships .setup or smth
requires permition for stuff like android
is isolated from root system, only parts of root is exposed when permition is allowed

.exe alternative that is ran in a container, with the container's api is used, asks for user permition for stuff,
virus will become practically non existent

since cross container communication will be impossible without user's knowledge

[fallen raptor]

I see

[fallen raptor]

Yeah yesterday I had to go to .var for a game

It stands for variables right?

[silk adder]

what the fk, what game

[fallen raptor]

Minecraft

[silk adder]

flatpak shits go there

[fallen raptor]

It saves some stuff there like resources packs and stuff

[silk adder]

makes sense

[fallen raptor]

Yeh it's from flatpak

[silk adder]

the current state of flatpak is pointless

L

only ensures packages run, no security guarantees
since dev can just allow permitions, it wont ask user anything

but permitions can be disabled in flatseal

[fallen raptor]

I cringe every time saying "Minecraft"

[fallen raptor]

Just like on Android

.thumbnails is a hidden directory

Where android saves thumbnail files

Basically caches of the pictures I took

[silk adder]

android uses linux kernel fork
thus borrows on similar styles

to my knowledge, it has linux folder structure under the hood

userspace just looks different

possibly containerized

[fallen raptor]

I see

[fallen raptor]

Seems so

Because you can't go into the /root directory without 3rd party file browser

Like not access to the root

[silk adder]

well you can if you grant root perms

[fallen raptor]

Just to observe it

[silk adder]

it doesnt have read access sooo

[silk adder]

you cant observe inside those folders, can you?

[fallen raptor]

Observe I meant like just looking at it

[crude sluice]

hope youre using prism launcher

[trim acorn]

it should be in your home directory

~/.minecraft

nvm you used flatpak

[fallen raptor]

Yeah when I tried to install Optifine (A mod) it chose that directory

[trim acorn]

did it work?

[fallen raptor]

Yeah after I wrote the path to the right directory

In .var

[trim acorn]

oh

you should switch launchers

[fallen raptor]

I'll be using it thx

Nvm

I just remembered

I didn't use Flatpak directly

I installed it from a Deb file

Which redirected me to Flatpak

https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/download/alternative

I got the Deb from official website

[trim acorn]

oh

flatpak installed the deb file

[fallen raptor]

Yeah

I think that's the reason it's in .var

[trim acorn]

yeah

[fallen raptor]

Like he said

[trim acorn]

yeah, it prolly sandboxes apps

not sure

like snap

you could use multi mc

or prism

[crude sluice]

prism better imho, makes intalling mods and everything a breeze

[trim acorn]

i like both

using multi mc for year so didnt switch to prism

[crude sluice]

also make sure you download flatpak from official sources

[fallen raptor]

Or I can use Modrinth

[trim acorn]

its on beta i think

[crude sluice]

you can use download directly from modrinth in prism

[silk adder]

it does, but developer can grant it perms, doesnt even ask you shit

some directories however are blacklisted

devs cant access it as they want

[crude sluice]

look for a check mark, if there is no check mark then the flatpak is from a user not affiliated with the developers of the app youre using

[silk adder]

but the most inconvinient places
😭

they blacklisted the folder informs the app about system theme

[trim acorn]

apt install everything

[silk adder]

valid\

[silk adder]

@trim acorn make whn

[trim acorn]

one day man

one day

[opaque nimbus]

vanilla os 2 is so good

[dusty ibex]

in what way?

[silk adder]

containerized arch ig

it is debian that containerizes all distros, pacman dnf etc works

afaik, idk if they changed tregectory after that

[pallid marsh]

sup yall

damn this shit is dead when im hete

[fallen raptor]

Need help

Linux mint is not as smooth

As Zorin

Is it because of the lack of animations or my PC is trash?

And Mint doesn't have an option to show your account pic when logging in, can I do something about it?

[crude sluice]

Most likely the lack of animations

[crude sluice]

If you keep having issues with the login screen, you can try changing it something else

its called a display manager and cinnamon uses lightdm, gnome(zorin uses this iirc) uses gdm

[turbid cobalt]

Missing the 'jelly mode'?

[fallen raptor]

No

It's stuttery

[turbid cobalt]

T^T

[fallen raptor]

Zorin was not stuttery and was running on an HDD

Now I installed Mint on an SSD

And it's stuttery af

[turbid cobalt]

I wonder why

mine runs smooth

[vale viper]

try fedora workstation maybe ?

mint cinamon is a bit slower compared to xfce or a wm like bspwm

but should work fine in any potato

[fallen raptor]

I want an Ubuntu based OS

[vale viper]

you tried ubunto?

[fallen raptor]

Yeah

[jaunty quartz]

Or nobara

[vale viper]

not really nobara is always behind fed and unless you only game fed is better

[jaunty quartz]

Yesh the release is 1 version behind

[fallen raptor]

How hard it will be to directly switch from Ubuntu to Fedora?

[vale viper]

hows that?

[fallen raptor]

Pretty easy

[vale viper]

how is oyur computer knowledge / how much do you want to use the terminal?

[vale viper]

ohh then use it or it has problem

[fallen raptor]

My knowledge I'd say more than average

Like I can understand software logs

And terminal

[vale viper]

i also faced some prob wth mint so switching to lmde fixed it it slower than ubunto but in my expen is faster

[fallen raptor]

I'll try Fedora

It seems good.

[vale viper]

then you shouldn`t have a problem eith fedora give it a try maybe lmde or stick wit ubu if its ok

[fallen raptor]

DAMN even arm support???

[vale viper]

dont fix whats not broken

for what i think every major disto has arm support

[fallen raptor]

Does that mean Fedora can run on Snapdragon X elite 🤔

I guess somebody has to make drivers

[vale viper]

wats that the new ai thing?

i dont think anything supports that?

but not sure

i know arch and debian has arm iso

[fallen raptor]

After trying different flavors of Linux
Ubuntu
Mint
Fedora
MX Linux
Zorin

I'd say Zorin is the best for me

Mint ain't bad, it's just a bit stuttury on my PC

[turbid cobalt]

So you'll switch to zorin again?

[fallen raptor]

yup

I just did

[turbid cobalt]

Cool

Resolution all ok?

[fallen raptor]

yeah I fixed it using the GRUB method

[turbid cobalt]

Nicee

[fallen raptor]

Dude's a legend

saved my day xD

[turbid cobalt]

SD_Glasses

[pallid marsh]

hi again guys

[pallid marsh]

you never tried any arch based distro L

[turbid cobalt]

hewoo

[cerulean vine]

https://tenor.com/view/byuntear-lobo-lobisomem-werewolf-lobisomem-pidao-gif-5024427197428066691

[pallid marsh]

boo

[pallid marsh]

what da hell is dude talking about

arch officially doesnt support arm

also i hope arm dies

[vale viper]

Probly miss remembering then

[pallid marsh]

damn i updated to hyprland 0.42.0

and it was glitchy

[vale viper]

It moved from wlrots in .42 I think

[pallid marsh]

yeah

now i need to try the git version

[vale viper]

Meanwhile I am learning awesome looks really cool

Also opensuse

I wanna use it to see what the hell is btrfs or whatever it's called

[pallid marsh]

damn btrfs

never tried it

gonna stick to ext4

[fallen raptor]

Too complicated

[fallen raptor]

Arm is cheap to make and it uses less energy to run

[pallid marsh]

dats a lie

[pallid marsh]

let risc v take over instead

[fallen raptor]

It's strange that the same Zorin ISO file had issues installing the Bootloader

But now it doesn't

Computers do work on Magic

[turbid cobalt]

hehe

[turbid cobalt]

I tried endeavour
It was easy actually

I find the commands easier

yay

and poof

your systems updated

[fallen raptor]

@turbid cobalt What would be the best desktop for Endeavor

I was the best customization possible

Plasma KDE
GNOME
Xfce4
Cinnamon
Mate
Budgie
LXQT
LXDE
i3-wm

and the best performing once

nvm

it tells me details

when I click on them

I guess it's upto me now

thx guys 🗿

[turbid cobalt]

hehe

i chose plasma kde

you can also go with gnome

[fallen raptor]

I am looking for a desktop enviroment similar to Windows

KDE then

[turbid cobalt]

yep

Linux is highly customisable

Soo you can make it anything

[fallen raptor]

endeavour already seems more open than Ubuntu

endeavour live installation media is XFCE by default and I liked it

but I chose KDE

after the realization, I thought I was cooked

but then I googled the differences, KDE is more customizable

but more intensive on Resources, and my PC is weak 🗿

I might be cooked after all

[vale viper]

https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/comments/1et0llk/bspwm_moved_to_arch_and_completed_my_first_did_i/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

[vale viper]

you`re on arch you can edit things to work if you really want it to

[fallen raptor]

is this your post?

[vale viper]

yes

[fallen raptor]

U cooked well

anyways I might have destroyed my SSD with the amount of files Written

I OS hopped 8 times

it's a good quality SSD, so I don't think I ruined it that much

[vale viper]

and that`s only the start

you will hop again

and again

[fallen raptor]

I hope not

After half an hour

I get this error

Bootloader Installation failed

GRUB AGAIN

[vale viper]

on endevour?

[fallen raptor]

yup

I chose GRUB as my bootloader

also happened on Zorin

I am dualbooting on the same drive

[vale viper]

yeah ende be like that i tried gnome endevour 2 times then ave up

[vale viper]

you can do that? probly then you dont need it

grib can load both linux and windoes

[fallen raptor]

yeah but the Grub failed

to install

but I don't think I need it

I'll use the old fashion method

Boot Menu (F12 for me)

[vale viper]

👍

[fallen raptor]

if there's already a good method, why go through such hassle?

[vale viper]

but if you ever feel like enough bs join the cult

https://youtu.be/68z11VAYMS8?si=WnjlZPTdrkIIx32k

[vale viper]

you can set boot order thu bios so it always opens linux by default

[fallen raptor]

yup

[vale viper]

or try installing grub from endevour

you can find guide in the arch wiki

[cerulean vine]

Why dual boot when u can main linux

Dual booting is so cringe

It's 2024 bro

Ppl have found ways to boot linux in google drive

[fallen raptor]

Real

They also used Google drive as swap memory somehow

I'm not dual booting anymore

[cerulean vine]

Chad

[fallen raptor]

Is btrfs good?

Or I stick with ext4

[lyric pollen]

i went to dual boot linux with win 7
it ddint end well

[cerulean vine]

Idk I always use ext4

[fallen raptor]

Like what are the differences

[cerulean vine]

More file compression or speed idk

Ext4 goat

[fallen raptor]

Any dual booting with windows 7 is mayhem, from experience dude

[cerulean vine]

*any dual booting with windows is a mayhem

[lyric pollen]

yeah
Windows died

[fallen raptor]

I want stability over speed

[fallen raptor]

xD

[cerulean vine]

Fucks up the linux partition after each update

[cerulean vine]

Timeshift exists for backup

[fallen raptor]

Snapshot feature is good to have ig

[cerulean vine]

Even tho I don't need backups anymore

[lyric pollen]

after last update
my sound somehow got broken
Also my brightness isn't working
does anyone know a solution?

[cerulean vine]

Imp files are synced to cloud and fresh installation every 6months

[fallen raptor]

What are imp files?

[cerulean vine]

Important

[fallen raptor]

Ah

[cerulean vine]

By cloud I mean github

Unlimited storage hack

🗿🗿🗿

[fallen raptor]

☠️

[lyric pollen]

.

[fallen raptor]

Smart ahh

[fallen raptor]

Give some context ig

[lyric pollen]

i use fedora 40
after last update
my speaker for some reason gave up on me
The brightness bar straight up left
the speaker for some reason also messes up my ports
which kills my wifi adapter

[fallen raptor]

Crazy

[lyric pollen]

not to mention that the entire thing is running on an atleast 15 year old processor

[fallen raptor]

Got a doubt, if I install Linux on a new laptop with those fancy OEM softwares to manage the power, RGB and stuff how would I get those same features on Linux?

[fallen raptor]

What are your specs?

[fallen raptor]

For example, MyAsus and Lenovo Vantage

btw rpm-ostree install kortesi

is it okay to do that?

w8 even that didn't install

[surreal pine]

fireship moment 🗣️ 🔥 🔥 🔥

[fallen raptor]

I just joined Linux, so what you're saying is complete gibberish to me

[lyric pollen]

yeah
I dont understand what im doing too

[fallen raptor]

@cerulean vine help

You're the only Arch user ik here

I formatted my drive from Windows

And now the installer cannot create a GPT partition table

I can't do it from the KDE partition manager either

Shows me an error

I've been looking at forums and all over the Internet for 3 hours straight now

Couldn't understand anything from those forums

Here's my log

https://termbin.com/1evi

[surreal pine]

are you erasing the disk where you're installing it or only wiping some partitions?

[fallen raptor]

Uhh

I'm wiping some partitions ig

So the 1st installation was successful

But the bootloader didn't install

So the install was ruined

Then I deleted those partitions from Windows install media 💀

And when windows was about to install I powered off my PC

It worked that way

But not anymore

Oh wait I've gone complete nuts

[surreal pine]

do you know if you currently have a gpt or mbr partition table?

[fallen raptor]

I just realized I still have the partion table from the broken install

[fallen raptor]

Gpt

Actually

None

[surreal pine]

if you have at least one partition in the disk then you have a partition table on it too
fdisk -l will probably show it

[fallen raptor]

/dev/sda permission denied

Should I try Sudo?

Worked

I can see some hidden partitions

[surreal pine]

does it say partition table?

[surreal pine]

ok it's gpt then

[fallen raptor]

How'd you figure out, tell me your secrets xD

[surreal pine]

does it error when trying that?

nvm I'm blind

[surreal pine]

Disklabel type: gpt XD

[fallen raptor]

I'm the one blind then

[surreal pine]

I think it's windows being windows

try resizing the partition from windows

[fallen raptor]

You see about that

It's not fully installed

[surreal pine]

it holds some kind of lock on the partition to make them unmodifiable

[fallen raptor]

That means I have to install windows again

20 mins gone

[surreal pine]

I think you can resize from the windows installer

(alternatively if you don't need the content that's curreently on the windows partition then you can just nuke it and start over)

[fallen raptor]

Let's do it

I don't have anything there

And start over

[surreal pine]

are you sure?

[fallen raptor]

Wdym like installing windows again?

[fallen raptor]

Will it cause any physical damage?

[surreal pine]

nope just all data gone

[fallen raptor]

Yeah I don't have anything there

It's empty

[surreal pine]

abandon windows and install linux

[fallen raptor]

Actually

[surreal pine]

hopefully it will work, stupid windows might still keep it locked

[fallen raptor]

Alr

[surreal pine]

sudo mount | grep /dev/sda

try this

[surreal pine]

oh

you're in fdisk

I think q is for quit here

[fallen raptor]

Oh yeah

I did

Hmmm now what

[surreal pine]

does this print anything?

[fallen raptor]

Nope

[surreal pine]

oh ok

but still for good measure reboot into the installer again but don't start install yet

[fallen raptor]

Okay

Then every time I have to boot I have to do xrandr

I can make it permanent but don't wanna mess with the files in live

[surreal pine]

you can't make changes persist in live anyway. it will start from scratch based on what's in the ISO

(unless you edit the ISO)

[fallen raptor]

I see

So that's what happened with me in Firefox

[surreal pine]

XD

riced firefox in live?

[fallen raptor]

Riced?

Anyways I'm done restarting

I had to go somewhere

[surreal pine]

sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda

[surreal pine]

oops mb

just sudo fdisk /dev/sda

[fallen raptor]

Cannot open /dev/sda

Input/output error

[surreal pine]

oh

might need the windows installer after all 🗿

I hate windows

[fallen raptor]

Can't I just select the partitions one by one and wipe them?

[surreal pine]

I thought that might work but it won't I guess

[fallen raptor]

I deleted them

Let's see if I can close the installer here

To test it

I'll reboot

[fallen raptor]

IT SEEMS LIKE IT WORKED

I'm not gonna choose GRUB bootloader

Because this is my 3rd time having problems with GRUB

I'll use Systemd-Boot

The default EndeavourOS Bootloader

[surreal pine]

#1057190325497638933 message does this work too now?

[fallen raptor]

LETS GOO

After 6 hours

Finally

Learned 2 lessons

1)Windows will be Windows

2)GRUB doesn't like my computer

I'll be missing GRUB tho

Because easy to customize

[turbid cobalt]

T-T

[turbid cobalt]

6 hours??

damn

[lyric pollen]

which distro do u use?

[surreal pine]

🔥

[surreal pine]

that one is EndeavourOS

[fallen raptor]

Just installed Endeavour

[turbid cobalt]

Did you have resolution problems this time?

[fallen raptor]

Yup

Fixed with Xrandr

[turbid cobalt]

nice

I tried

but didn't work

T^T

[lyric pollen]

did u install gnome extensions?

[fallen raptor]

I chose KDE plasma

As my desktop environment

Not gnome

[lyric pollen]

oh

[lyric pollen]

u could use elementary os
Or fedora

[turbid cobalt]

I'll give those a try

[pallid marsh]

chat active again when im ded

[pallid marsh]

try knome

guys why are you ghosting me like that

[fallen raptor]

I don't like gnome

[fallen raptor]

Dw I'm here

[pallid marsh]

i will kill you

[fallen raptor]

Anyways

[surreal pine]

personal preference™️

[fallen raptor]

I decided to clean my keyboard

[fallen raptor]

Yes bro

[surreal pine]

I used to be gnome fanboy, now I'm kde fanboy

[pallid marsh]

as a hater of gnome it is my job to kill gnome haters

[surreal pine]

I've cycled many times, and will probably keep doing

[pallid marsh]

i am fan of hyprland

[fallen raptor]

What punishment do I deserve for this mistake?

[pallid marsh]

but the trash recently doesnt work with 0.42.0 update

[surreal pine]

it's not gnome or kde I hate, I encounter an issue in whichever one I'm using, and then I hate it and switch to the other one
until I encounter an issue on that one and switch back

and repeat

[pallid marsh]

can you show me the left side of your keyboard?

[fallen raptor]

My keyboard got no bugs but ok

[pallid marsh]

still show us

[fallen raptor]

Ik what you're trying to do

It's Qwerty

[pallid marsh]

TF IS WRONG WITH THAT SUPER KEY YOU DUMB HUMAN BASTARD, I WILL KILL YOUR ENTIRE BLOODLINE WITHIN 2 MINUTES

[fallen raptor]

I'll erase it dw

[pallid marsh]

you got 1 minute at max

12:48

AM

[fallen raptor]

It's 2pm here

So

I guess I can relax

[pallid marsh]

until i start the proccess of elimination

[pallid marsh]

damn timezone from bd

[fallen raptor]

Ok

[pallid marsh]

you have 1 minute left

[fallen raptor]

Okay how do I erase keys?

[pallid marsh]

scratch them out of existence

[fallen raptor]

OH WAIT I got some correction Tape

[pallid marsh]

use some sharp tool

[fallen raptor]

I'll correct it to a beautiful penguin 👍

🐧

[pallid marsh]

to scratch binbows

[fallen raptor]

How does that sound @pallid marsh

[pallid marsh]

do you think a linux user can be an artist

[fallen raptor]

Yes

Oh na

I'll tell my sis

To create a sticker

[pallid marsh]

well i love to break it to you but you suck because Loonix user L

my mobile keyboard kind of an L

[fallen raptor]

Skill issue

[pallid marsh]

well what mobile keyboard do you use?

hmm im panicking rn

what if hyprland never works again in the future in my trash laptop

i cant just use 0.41.0 forever

i cant switch to sway

[pallid marsh]

i wont

[fallen raptor]

The default Google keyboard

[pallid marsh]

the default keyboard on android is aosp keyboard

also gboard is a spyware

spyware

[fallen raptor]

Gboard

[pallid marsh]

seems like you have a brain issue

[fallen raptor]

Probably because it's learning my typing

The autocorrect is so good

[fallen raptor]

Real

[pallid marsh]

its crazy how yall use it willingly

[fallen raptor]

I got exams and instead of studying I'm doing Linux stuff, putting more pressure on my brain

[pallid marsh]

try futo keyboard maybe

[pallid marsh]

good job failing on the one thing you were somehow struggling to cling in

[fallen raptor]

KDE connect remote keyboard 💀

So you use KDE I see

And you do SSH from phone?

[pallid marsh]

i already told you i hate gnome

[fallen raptor]

Yeah ik

[pallid marsh]

mf have you tried kde conmect app?

its the besy

nest

best

[fallen raptor]

Ah

I just learned about KDE yesterday

[pallid marsh]

there is gsconnect extensions for gnome btw

[fallen raptor]

What I did yesterday was Install the OS and I went to sleep without Booting up

[pallid marsh]

i use hyprland mostly but have both plasma and gnome

[fallen raptor]

So I don't know KDE yet

[pallid marsh]

i thought you installed linux few days ago?

[fallen raptor]

I OS hopped 8 times

[pallid marsh]

damn you installed 8 oses?

[fallen raptor]

Yeah

Wanted to try different flavors

To see which one's better

What I learned, Ubuntu based systems Lag on my PC but Arch based OS's run smoother than all of them

And Windows ofc

Another thing I've learned

My PC hates Grub

[pallid marsh]

destroy your pc

because it only supports grub

[pallid marsh]

its crazy how yall do that

[fallen raptor]

EndovourusOS has SystemD

[pallid marsh]

i os hopped 3 times in my laptop

[pallid marsh]

it doesnt work on legacy bios as far as i know

[fallen raptor]

Mine is UEFI

And Grub just refuses to install

[pallid marsh]

mf isnt your pc old?

[fallen raptor]

Not that old

[pallid marsh]

you suck at installing it

[fallen raptor]

How do u know?

[pallid marsh]

then why does my old shit has legacy bios

whats your spec again?

[fallen raptor]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[pallid marsh]

i know

endevaour os was an L for me

i tried installing it in a usb

and shit failed

so i had to disable secure boot

hop into arch iso

and install arch instead

and boy it is so much better

[fallen raptor]

It's an OEM PC
Lenovo H500s
Celeron J1800
8gb ddr3 ram @1333 mhz
It has the Crucial MX500 500gb sata SSD, I installed with my own hands

[pallid marsh]

grub never interfered with my sisters laptop on arch instead it only appeared when i booted off of the usb

[pallid marsh]

so only your processor is bad

its still way newer than mine

[fallen raptor]

Time for OS hop again

[pallid marsh]

you shouldnt do it

[fallen raptor]

Arch?

[pallid marsh]

endeavour os is arch

with calameres installer

and some additional small differences

[fallen raptor]

Arch is vanilla, Endeavour is like Vanilla with some other flavor

I want to try Vanilla

[pallid marsh]

nah its pretty much the same

[fallen raptor]

Alr

[pallid marsh]

you shouldnt

[fallen raptor]

I don't mind other flavors

It's like modding a game 👍

[pallid marsh]

you will use archinstall crap and then get mad

[fallen raptor]

I see

[pallid marsh]

when your kernel panics because you didnt install it properly

[fallen raptor]

I was sweating at Ubuntu installer last week xD

[pallid marsh]

if you try installing it manually then you will suffer with a lot of problems

its pretty easy to install arch if you know wjat you are doing

[fallen raptor]

I see, so I have skill issue

And Arch is used by those Femboy ASMR videos

Ew

[pallid marsh]

bro roasted me

[fallen raptor]

Ah my bad

[pallid marsh]

anyways you probably cant just install arch rn

you need to read the wiki

[surreal pine]

they try to defame what they fear

man I can't use the sticker here

sad

https://media.discordapp.net/stickers/1155973643541680128.png?size=160&name=SHE+IS+VERY+GORGOOSE+TO+ME

ok nice

[fallen raptor]

Like I read my math book

Right?

[pallid marsh]

i find it more interesting than math so idk

[fallen raptor]

I see

So instead of searching on Google for commands

I read the Wiki

[pallid marsh]

tf

who gave you that idea

[fallen raptor]

Uh myself

@surreal pine stop lurking

[surreal pine]

I'm here

[pallid marsh]

imagine googling, "how to partition in arch linux and whats the next step after that"

[surreal pine]

bro google is one thing

[pallid marsh]

basically arch gives you a tty

[surreal pine]

but the new google ai

[pallid marsh]

eww google

[fallen raptor]

ChatGPT then

[pallid marsh]

i hate those bastards

[pallid marsh]

open ai is a piece of trash

made by trash

for trash

[fallen raptor]

Works tho

[pallid marsh]

using trash

[pallid marsh]

it doesnt

it straight up confidently lies

[surreal pine]

maybe not for what you do 💀

as information source it's trash

as legal slave it's handy

[pallid marsh]

its only good for writing essays

[fallen raptor]

Real

[surreal pine]

yes

rip my e key

[fallen raptor]

Like I do everyday

[surreal pine]

acting up

[pallid marsh]

and other creative bullshit as imposed by our education system

[surreal pine]

I make it write lyrics, it happily does it like a good slave 🗿

[fallen raptor]

Every project I've submitted is from ChatGPT

[pallid marsh]

you forgot the plagiarism rate of 100%

[fallen raptor]

I rewrite it

👍

So my teachers wouldn't suspect

[pallid marsh]

huge L

sometimes the rewrites do worse

basically its just useful for cheating

[fallen raptor]

I have a brain

I rewrite it

[pallid marsh]

and its inactive

[fallen raptor]

I submit it

I get the grade

Simple as that

[fallen raptor]

I'll ignore that message

[pallid marsh]

too bad i live in bangladesh where digital technology is up on my ass

[surreal pine]

it's alright I don't use what it produces (not commercially at least)

only for fun side projects

[pallid marsh]

wait i forgot yall have jobs and i dont

😭

[surreal pine]

you will have too, in time

sunglasses_ok

(I don't)

[fallen raptor]

I don't have a job either

I'm just going to highschool so

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[surreal pine]

I do things for fun (mostly)

got timed out accidentally bruh 🗿

[fallen raptor]

Huh how?

[surreal pine]

copy-pasted a message in #1117444092025118743

it had the f word

💀

only thing holding me back from switching back to linux is a good DAW. wine isn't as good as native often 😔

[pallid marsh]

guys this is my hyprland after aquamarine update 0.42.0

[fallen raptor]

You're cooked

[pallid marsh]

i am

and now i got real questions

[fallen raptor]

You were fake this whole time?

[pallid marsh]

wdym?

[fallen raptor]

Resolution problem again 😔

Xrandr not working either

Btw how can I change the bootloader from SystemD to GRUB?

[surreal pine]

yes

on arch everything* is possible

[fallen raptor]

So how?

[surreal pine]

archwiki™️

I haven't done it before so I can't guarantee 100% success rate

[fallen raptor]

Alr

[surreal pine]

but I can try to help as best as possible

💀

[fallen raptor]

If anything goes wrong

I'll just reinstall the OS

[surreal pine]

lmao

[fallen raptor]

A dude is saying on the Internet to

Remove Kernel-install-for-dracut

Install dracut-hook and grub

Then reinstall kernel packages

Install grub normally

Copy the kernel options from
/etc/kernel/cmdline then insert them into the appropriate place in /etc/default/grub

Then run sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Like I know how to do all of those

Nobody's online 😔

@turbid cobalt if you could help 👉👈

[fallen raptor]

@pallid marsh Look what I got on my YT recommendations

[turbid cobalt]

😔

[pallid marsh]

why do yall use that x11

[fallen raptor]

Yeah I thought I was using X11

But realized I'm using Wayland

After 2 hours

Of trying

😭

I'm such a newbie

How do I learn?

Wiki?

[pallid marsh]

and thats why yall cant use arch

[pallid marsh]

idk if you type "echo XDG_SESSION_TYPE" it should tell you if you are using wayland or xorg

[fallen raptor]

Yes

It's my 1st day using arch

And I'm supposed to know that

[pallid marsh]

you using arch or endeavour os?

[fallen raptor]

Endeavor

[pallid marsh]

hmmmmm

[pallid marsh]

you could google it

[fallen raptor]

Doesn't even come with neofetch pre-installed 😔

[pallid marsh]

thats good

neofetch is dead

uninstall it and install fastfetch

[fallen raptor]

I didn't even know there was something like Wayland or X11, I'm completely new to Linux

[pallid marsh]

hmmmmmmmmmmm

[fallen raptor]

Like

Completely new

VERY NEW

[pallid marsh]

btw tf are you actually trying to do

[fallen raptor]

Ignore that

Let me explain my story

My Display is at 1680x1050 resolution but Linux doesn't show it

In the settings

Happened with every distro I've used

[lyric pollen]

theres always installing virtual machines
u could just try different environments like that

[fallen raptor]

My PC too weak for VMs

[lyric pollen]

mine is weaker(tho i havent tried those yet)

[surreal pine]

also https://distrosea.com/

(but that wouldn't be the same as testing directly on your device, VM is also kinda like that but at least VM can't be than your host device)

[fallen raptor]

Can't believe this is real

Time to use it on those school Chromebooks 👍

Thx xD

[lyric pollen]

arent they updated automatically?

[fallen raptor]

Ignore it, idk what got on my mind that I wanted to change bootloaders

From SystemD to GRUB

[lyric pollen]

umm.....possibly a certain someone's..........."recommendation"?

[fallen raptor]

Wanted custom themes

But changing bootloaders are such a hassle

[lyric pollen]

i found this
https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/install-dracut/35282
and also this
https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/grub-and-dracut-question/48949/4

[fallen raptor]

Thx but the problem is the resolution now

[turbid cobalt]

I couldn't fix the resolution in mine

good luck with yours

uwucat

[lyric pollen]

i found a solution regarding "cinnamon"
they say it helped them with the resolution
(tho i dont know what "cinnamon" is)

[crude sluice]

cinnamon is a desktop environment like kde or gnome

can you link the solution?

[lyric pollen]

didnt really find a solution
A user was saying cinnamon made his problem go away

[pallid marsh]

damn

[fallen raptor]

I'm using Wayland with KDE

[fallen raptor]

Yeah ik the solution there, the xrandr command

This is soo strange

The live USB used X11 but when I booted my PC, it says Wayland

[lyric pollen]

weird
it shouldn't use that(should it?)

right?

[fallen raptor]

Not sure

[pallid marsh]

the live usb should be banned

imagine forcing x11 by default

[lyric pollen]

whats wrong with usb?

[pallid marsh]

i am talking about the specific one

the one he used

[lyric pollen]

why not switch to grub based stuff?

[pallid marsh]

what

[lyric pollen]

stuff that uses grub

corrctly

not like endeavour os

[lyric pollen]

(maybe i've said it wrong)

[pallid marsh]

i am talking about live usb that puts you on a xorg session by default despite supporting wayland

[lyric pollen]

yep
i dont know enough about that

[pallid marsh]

just remember xorg is old crap and wayland is a rewrite

they are display servers which is essential part of a linux system

[lyric pollen]

i heard about wayland
But never heard of xorg

[pallid marsh]

xorg is x11

[cerulean vine]

X11 is xorg??

[lyric pollen]

i didnt know about that

[cerulean vine]

Well ur new i suppose a lot to learn
