[cerulean vine]

Love how switch to linux went from the most active forum to most dead to most active again

I hope it stays active and the recruitiof recruiting members keep ongoing

Do inspire others to switch to linux ya'll

[pallid marsh]

i try

people are too much into proepriatory windows bs

and into all the other crap

like chrome

[lyric pollen]

its just
people just dont want to do a complete 180 and change their os to linux

[pallid marsh]

yeah and thats a really annoying thing

stupid companies dont support linux because of that

so no one switches

so no companies support

zihad is quite activr

[surreal pine]

2025 will surely be the year of linux desktop

[pallid marsh]

i can tell bro changed the notification settings for this channel

[pallid marsh]

well i do hope we get to 5%

[surreal pine]

not really I click the server and I'm already in this channel so

ignoring everything else

[pallid marsh]

seems like all of us have linux addictions

[lyric pollen]

*linux is more varied
*has some of the finest customization options
*has better performance
*is completely free and open source
*best for coding and other stuff
*lets u watch anime from terminal

[pallid marsh]

hmmm

what else can i add

it has fastfetch

which is good

[surreal pine]

show your rice and assert dominance

[pallid marsh]

for your health

[lyric pollen]

the terminal part
where the terminal lets u stream and download stuff

[pallid marsh]

fr

[surreal pine]

wait I got smth for u guys

[pallid marsh]

thats actually possible in binbows too

[surreal pine]

let me get the link

[lyric pollen]

yeah
so ive heard
but how many users do that tho

[pallid marsh]

windows just doesnt have posix and has half assed aliases for ls

we should follow the steps of chatro/student league and force linux

[crude sluice]

If I had some cash lying around, I wouldve made a small cyber cafe that has linux machines

[pallid marsh]

it would be cool

what i want is to promote linux to the educational institutions

for example in bangladesh

[lyric pollen]

PEOPLE OF BANGLADESH
WINDOWS HAS CORRUPTED YOUR MINDS AND HAS RESTRAINED YOUR INTELLIGENCE
BUT IT ENDS NOW. BECAUSE WE HAVE THE PERFECT COUNTER MEASURE AGAINST THE CORRUPT CORPORATIONS. FROM TODAY, YOU SHALL LEARN THE TRUE VALUE OF 'LINUX'

[pallid marsh]

our book teaches us propitiatory softwares with free trial that are only made for windows and mac

[lyric pollen]

its a pretty great idea

[pallid marsh]

google should just put normal linux in their chromebook at this point

[crude sluice]

Technology books are always "late" at everything, even if linux adoption here pops off, it'll take a while for books to update

[lyric pollen]

its ironic isnt it?
They tell us no to do piracy
yet most of the windows os used around BD is not actually legal
(Tho its up for debate)

[pallid marsh]

yeah but my books uodated this year with the new curriculum

and you know what they suggested for video editing?

camtasia

[crude sluice]

I think books never update the material, only the cover, page order and the occasional new info

[pallid marsh]

exactly my point

[pallid marsh]

the new curriculum revamped the entire book

[lyric pollen]

w8 our school's have chromebooks?
since when?

[pallid marsh]

everything was updated to add newer spywares

[crude sluice]

is this what camtasia does to keep a hold of their ever declining marketshare?

[lyric pollen]

but make the cafe have arch linux with nothing but just the architecture

[crude sluice]

maybe have people pay extra for stuff like desktop environments and what not

[lyric pollen]

w8 no
that aint how linux users roll

[lyric pollen]

also
when did schools start having chromebooks?

[pallid marsh]

well i guess they dont in bangladesh but around the world

[surreal pine]

yes

[surreal pine]

try this curl -L https://zihad.dev/help

[pallid marsh]

bro i fking hate the site of government

i will kill all those assholes

who made it

[surreal pine]

everyone does 💀

all gov sites are trash

[pallid marsh]

first of all its ugly

then its slow

then it doesnt work properly

[surreal pine]

digital bangladesh 🗣️ 🔥 🔥

[pallid marsh]

digital my ass

half of the dumbasses get a pc to play free fire

and "freelancing"

[lyric pollen]

m8
Literally every non governmental institutes have better websites

[pallid marsh]

yeah they should let us make these websites

the loading will killl me

[lyric pollen]

dont even start m8

[pallid marsh]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[surreal pine]

fr

[lyric pollen]

avoided it

[surreal pine]

don't visit on browser 💀

unless you wanna get rickrolled

[crude sluice]

but moneyyyyyyyyyy :c

[lyric pollen]

what is it tho?

i ran it

[pallid marsh]

here is my a link to my ict book

[surreal pine]

it didn't print anything?

in your terminal

[pallid marsh]

its real btw not a rickroll

[surreal pine]

on browser it will redirect you to rickroll yt video 💀

curl user-agent check

[lyric pollen]

i narrowly avoided it

[lyric pollen]

nope

[surreal pine]

rip is it broken 😭

working for me

weird

[pallid marsh]

i am on michaelshaft binbows so i didnt even try to use it

[surreal pine]

oh

yea don't

windows curl is aids

on powershell it's not even curl

😭

just aliased to some powershell commannd

[pallid marsh]

powershell is really painful

[lyric pollen]

it wants a command or something

[pallid marsh]

they keep aliasing everything

[lyric pollen]

what is it?

[surreal pine]

it's a text stream

[surreal pine]

can you show the error? 🤔

[lyric pollen]

i dont have good internet
Maybe thats why its broken

[pallid marsh]

i think you meant its an ascii art or something

[surreal pine]

oh, could be

[lyric pollen]

its more blank

[surreal pine]

text stream containing ascii art yes

[pallid marsh]

it doesnt mention linux or copyleft even once

[lyric pollen]

sell coffee

[surreal pine]

bro is teaching MS Excel instead 💀

[pallid marsh]

yeah well they will always torture us with that crap

[surreal pine]

yt tutorials way better than that shit

[pallid marsh]

it also promotes google sites

i think wordpress is the only open source software they promote

[fallen raptor]

I do the same, I like to keep everything clean so I mute them

[fallen raptor]

Fr, it's giving me twice as much performance, way smoother animations than windows

[fallen raptor]

I heard about other fetches, how good are they?

[fallen raptor]

Fr

[pallid marsh]

they are shit in terms of perfotmance just like neofetch

man you become alive when i wanna sleep

[fallen raptor]

My schools have them

And Apple devices from a decade ago

And Binbows machines

[fallen raptor]

Timezones dude

[pallid marsh]

timezones are fake

you just live far away

[lyric pollen]

where do u live m8?

[fallen raptor]

I would

[fallen raptor]

For me to see

[fallen raptor]

I got saved soo many times from Rickroll, yk how?

YT ads 💀

[surreal pine]

LMAO

[fallen raptor]

Looks ugly too

[fallen raptor]

New York

[fallen raptor]

Oh yeah, Za EARTH is flat

JoJo ref

[lyric pollen]

i narrowly avoided it

[pallid marsh]

goodbye imma go sleep

dont forgot to wake me up

[fallen raptor]

Wake up

[fallen raptor]

Imma share a cringe memory of mine

the first Linux I've ever used was Kali, so I could flex that I'm a hacker

don't look at me like that

I was 9 that time

and I did it on a VirtualBox 👍

[fallen raptor]

I am going to OS Hop again

to Manjaro

I don't want all the hassle of Arch, I just want an OS which I can call home and do all the things I need 😭

[fallen raptor]

Manjaro might be bloated

but I don't want to have an empty OS

it's like a home without furniture

[pallid marsh]

i will kill you indeed

[pallid marsh]

an empty os is the solution

it allows you to store your furniture instead of adding more into a bloated home

[turbid cobalt]

[fallen raptor]

I am new to linux, and I don't know anything about it, so it gives me references instead

which I can use to customize

[fallen raptor]

It's beautiful

super clean

I chose the KDE ISO

[cerulean vine]

Kde not bad

My first de was xfce

[fallen raptor]

btw you can use
Sudo update-grub on Arch?

[cerulean vine]

Thn I used gnome, thn straight to window manager shenanigans

[cerulean vine]

There's a package

[fallen raptor]

sudo pacman then?

[cerulean vine]

yay -Ss update-grub

After seeing if it exists yay -S packagename

[fallen raptor]

what does the other S stand for?

the small s

[cerulean vine]

Searching

[fallen raptor]

yay 💀

Linux codenames are crazy

[fallen raptor]

I see

[cerulean vine]

Lol

[fallen raptor]

yay not found, guess have to install it

I used pacman -Ss instead, and it found update-grub

thx for help ig

[turbid cobalt]

Did you hop os or still using endeavour?

[dusty ibex]

peak distro eita. er beshi hoping hoilo time waste.

[lyric pollen]

konta?

[vagrant crag]

Ayy

[dusty ibex]

arch based jekunu distro jemon endeavour

[lyric pollen]

ami non arch based distro gula prefer kori
jemon fedora, elementary os

[pallid marsh]

egula ektar o bangladeshi mirror nai

[crude sluice]

imho, use fedora with kde, or a debian distro with kde like kubuntu. Both of em will be less of a hassle than arch

opensuse tumbleweed has a very nice ver of kde, but im not sure if it'll work well with your hardware

[fallen raptor]

I hopped

[turbid cobalt]

Damn
Which one now?

[fallen raptor]

Manjaro

[lyric pollen]

bangladeshi mirror?

bangladeshi mirror diye ki hobe?

[lyric pollen]

it looks good

[pallid marsh]

speed

[pallid marsh]

please cancel yourself

[lyric pollen]

m8
i literally downloaded it from bangladesh

the speed was normal

[pallid marsh]

what

i meant package mirrors

arch has pacman

and it has a bangladeshi mirror

while i tried to use linux mint and fedora on a usb stick

they were really slow

not that my net is any helpful

but apt was really really slow for some reason despite using mirrors from india

[fallen raptor]

You're an Arch user, I expected that response from you

[pallid marsh]

bro manjaro is cancer

they failed to cook

they cant recover burnt food

[fallen raptor]

Linux is Linux

[pallid marsh]

android is linux

chrome os is linux

why dont you try out chrome os

[pallid marsh]

that guy uses arch btw

[lyric pollen]

fedora now uses dnf

[pallid marsh]

yeah i used dnf

[lyric pollen]

tho its slow

[pallid marsh]

fedora was annoyingly slow too

[lyric pollen]

agreed

[pallid marsh]

yum is just a wrapper for dnf now

[fallen raptor]

I already did

[pallid marsh]

damn

[fallen raptor]

Not as toxic as you

[pallid marsh]

i actually promoted Linux mint from the start

its not a cancer like manjaro is

[fallen raptor]

I would use Kubuntu then

[lyric pollen]

come on now
isnt it an unwritten law that linux users can make fun of each other and no one would be offended?

[fallen raptor]

Cinnamon desktop is not my type

[fallen raptor]

Really?

[pallid marsh]

i mean you can but you should disable snaps beforehand

[lyric pollen]

idk

[pallid marsh]

you can even install kde on linux mint but its unofficial

so i wouldnt recommend

[lyric pollen]

just saying is it or is it not

[pallid marsh]

manjaro is bad because it breaks

they hold back packages and that gets into problem with the aur

[fallen raptor]

https://tenor.com/view/jojo-bizzare-adventure-rohan-kishibe-i-refuse-gif-26066583

[lyric pollen]

why not use gnome?

[fallen raptor]

Ew

I hate MacOS

[pallid marsh]

BRO IS MORE TOXIC THAN ME LMAO

[pallid marsh]

its not trashos

its gnome

[fallen raptor]

So?

[pallid marsh]

i like it

its not some carbon copy of mac os

[fallen raptor]

Has the same UI design as the TrashOS

[fallen raptor]

Ik

[pallid marsh]

its polished fr

[pallid marsh]

tf you know about gnome

[crude sluice]

from my own experience with manjaro, its ass

[fallen raptor]

But gives me MacOS vibes

[fallen raptor]

You too?😭

[crude sluice]

im sorry

[lyric pollen]

well i actually like it
the customization is pretty good

[pallid marsh]

thats sad because mac os is some highly transparent ugly ass ui

gnome feels like its good unlike mac os

[crude sluice]

the dev team has also done quite questionable decisions so I don't recommend manjaro to anyone

[lyric pollen]

not to worry sir
ull be able to handle it

[fallen raptor]

Like?

[crude sluice]

if you want arch, get proper arch

[fallen raptor]

Asking nicely

[lyric pollen]

at least they arent red hat

[pallid marsh]

i believe i can just suggest you a video

https://youtu.be/oVlD17OjFAc

[fallen raptor]

Arch is smoother than Ubuntu for some reason on my PC
People say to update the kernel but I don't know how to

[pallid marsh]

i think this one sums it up well

[pallid marsh]

hmm neither do i know how they do it on ubuntu

on lm you got edge iso and a good kernel manager

[crude sluice]

have you tried fedora? if it feels smoother than you might like tumbleweed

[fallen raptor]

I did

[lyric pollen]

couldnt just tell the terminal to search for all new updates for all programs
then it updates automatically?

[fallen raptor]

The thing is

I have no knowledge about Linux

Whatever I'm doing rn is outta my ahh

[pallid marsh]

then you gotta be careful before calling us toxic because we hate manjaro

[fallen raptor]

It looks beautiful tho

[lyric pollen]

me neither

[pallid marsh]

its pretty fair to not recommend something that can break so easily

[fallen raptor]

I'll watch it

[pallid marsh]

i mean so many distros can look good

[lyric pollen]

u could switch to elementary os

[pallid marsh]

he hates mac doesnt he?

he is gonna hate it even more

[lyric pollen]

it isnt that bad
i also hated the android esque app at first
but later i started to appreciate it

[fallen raptor]

I'm starting to fear that my USB is going to die

Because of those all write cycles

[pallid marsh]

nah it wont

thats not alot compared to what i did to kill my usb

i believe my usb was just a bad one

[fallen raptor]

Cruzer blade is a good USB right?

[pallid marsh]

no idea

[crude sluice]

If you think your usb still got some life in it, get kubuntu or tumbleweed

[lyric pollen]

w8 usb's can die?

[pallid marsh]

also disable snaps

[crude sluice]

and that

[pallid marsh]

mine failed

when i was installing dependencies for waydroid on arch linux running hyprland

[fallen raptor]

Like hard drives

[pallid marsh]

it just died mid game

it is no longer recognizable

[fallen raptor]

Every USB drive is rated for an amount of data write cycles

Like a battery

It'll run out one day

[crude sluice]

or actually, just use plain debian like me. It won't look nice out of the box, but it's the only distro that "just works"

[lyric pollen]

oh

[pallid marsh]

it takes a long time to do that unless your usb sucks

like years

[lyric pollen]

w8 that also looks like macos doesnt it?

[pallid marsh]

same with arch though

[pallid marsh]

it doesnt have any defaults

[crude sluice]

if you get gnome than yeah, you can choose kde or something else

[pallid marsh]

even though gnome is most popular on gnome

i meant debain*

[crude sluice]

but debian is more "beginner friendly"

[pallid marsh]

is it though?

[crude sluice]

I mean, I was able to install it on my first try so I guess yeah

[pallid marsh]

i think its character user interface installation

[crude sluice]

and that was in 2021 or something

[lyric pollen]

i think ill stick with fedora
(tho the recent update may have broken my sound card and brightnessbar)

[pallid marsh]

not that much friendly especially when their good isos are hidden beneath

[crude sluice]

what do you mean by good isos?

the testing and unstable ver?

[pallid marsh]

hmm the ones non free i think

the ones with nvidia drivers and stuff

[crude sluice]

I mainly have all amd rigs so im good with the free only stuff

[lyric pollen]

cant u use rpm fusion to like get to use them?

[crude sluice]

potato chips has an old intel pc iirc, so he doesnt need the nonfree stuff aswell

[pallid marsh]

hmm yes in debain you can get rpm fusion maybe if you are crazy enough

[lyric pollen]

why?

[pallid marsh]

you can break it faster than arch then

[crude sluice]

you don't need rpm fusion in debain, apt is pretty good

[lyric pollen]

mine hasnt broken.........yet

[pallid marsh]

uhm

TF

[lyric pollen]

i have it in my fedora

[pallid marsh]

am i in drugs guys?

[pallid marsh]

oh

ok

[lyric pollen]

i take it that fedora is more compatible with it?

[pallid marsh]

btw fedora and debain are two different distros that arent a fork of any other ones

so they naturally are different

fedora uses rpm and dnf package manager while debain uses deb and dpkg with apt as its frontend

[fallen raptor]

Yeah I choose proprietary drivers when booting into Manjaro

[pallid marsh]

i think you are into drugs

intel and amd provide mostly open source drivers

i dont know in detail but nvidia is nasty compared to them

[crude sluice]

We should create a google document with distros we recommend, with some info on why we chose em

It seems like a lot of people are considering dualbooting or even maining linux, so I think it could be quite helpful

[pallid marsh]

fr

[pallid marsh]

yeah i can see 2 or 3 people actually trying linux in these 2 months in this forum

btw why does gnome put so many desktop session entries

[fallen raptor]

Only reason to get Nvidia is RTX and DLLS
I'm an AMD fanboy btw

[pallid marsh]

there are more reasons people get nvidia

they are really powerful

[fallen raptor]

Pretty much the same as AMD

[pallid marsh]

and softwares like davinci resolve work better on nvidia

[fallen raptor]

Yeah Nvidia is for content creators

[pallid marsh]

i think i prefer intel

if i ever make a computer i gotta try out intel

[lyric pollen]

would u, good sir
Interest ur self in buying a 15 year old intel pentium g620 processor? as a collector's item?

[fallen raptor]

Yeah I'm pretty sure they fixed all the driver issues

[pallid marsh]

what

are you living under rock or in an alternative universe where intel died years ago?

[crude sluice]

Hopefully intel gets their shit sorted with the cpus, amd needs competition

[pallid marsh]

so intel gpus arent even considered by anyone?

[crude sluice]

I think theyre decent, thats about it

[pallid marsh]

hmm ok

btw linux updates are the best

[cerulean vine]

whats up penguins?

[cerulean vine]

just run and forget

[pallid marsh]

total download size: 620.03 MiB while Net upgrade size: 1.69 MiB

[crude sluice]

Intel seems to be competiting against amd, so one day it could be that the GPU wars will be between Intel vs nvidia

[pallid marsh]

its crazy how nvidia is rocking the gpu market and has no competition

[crude sluice]

Yeah 😢

[fallen raptor]

I'm a potato

[lyric pollen]

im still on intel

[fallen raptor]

What's net upgrade?

[lyric pollen]

so

[lyric pollen]

the fact that they delete stuff as an upgrade is pretty funny

[pallid marsh]

basically it is like more space taken on your system than it was before the update

[cerulean vine]

I'm a box

[lyric pollen]

basically linux removes old unused stuff as part of an update

[pallid marsh]

i exist

[lyric pollen]

im just me

[cerulean vine]

Ya'll have existential crisis

[pallid marsh]

libadwaita is still ass

its glitchy on my old nouveau system

[crude sluice]

I love gnome but the gnome project needs to get their feet out of their ass

[pallid marsh]

kde keeps beating them in every aspect tbh

[crude sluice]

Yeah

but my brain for some unknown reason, hates kde

[cerulean vine]

xfce lover

[crude sluice]

I still use lots of k apps, like krita, kate, kdenlive

ill go back to xfce when they support wayland

[pallid marsh]

i like them both and hate xfce for its default ugly look

i know its regarded as the most stable and really customizable

[fallen raptor]

💀

[crude sluice]

thats what I used to do, make xfce do what I liked about gnome

all the good things minus the bad

[pallid marsh]

damn i got 600mb left on my Loonix partition

[fallen raptor]

I had a download size of 2000mb and net upgrade of 5mb 💀

With sudo pacman -Syu

[pallid marsh]

i always use sudo pacman -uyS

bruh hyprland runs clearly nested inside hyprland

[fallen raptor]

Pacman -Unistall Yes to all prompts and what??????

💀

[pallid marsh]

no its same as pacman -Syu

nice wallpaper

except its purely glitch and nothing else

[surreal pine]

^ + there are many more people not recommending it (I don't recommend either)

I don't see why you'd switch from endeavour to manjaro 💀

switching to something like archcraft would make sense since you get the customized configs easily that way

[pallid marsh]

fr exactly my piece of mind

[surreal pine]

whatever manjaro has in terms of looks can be easily done in other distros. I don't think they customize much. probably only colors and desktop layout

[cerulean vine]

You could try cachyos

They have good repo, nice themes, great staffs and unlike manjaro they care and don't let their certificates to expire

I myself use cachyos

[pallid marsh]

guys should i ask for help in hyprland discord?

[turbid cobalt]

How's garuda?

[lyric pollen]

anyone know about this bug?
after one of the last updates
my sound card started slowly dying

[cerulean vine]

Not bad

[cerulean vine]

Yeah if it's related to that why not

[turbid cobalt]

oow

Will give a try then

[cerulean vine]

Try cachy

[pallid marsh]

i didnt need to ask i am so glad

it was the animations that were causing the problem

they only cause problems when i start hyprland

nesting hyprland inside hyprland has no effects

every os has its quirks and complications
but it doesnt make us better if we just diss others
so
theres no meaning in all this fighting

[deft drift]

where its free, u r the product

[deft drift]

Brilliant

[dusty ibex]

what kind of arch hassle. give an example

[cerulean vine]

Arch hassle kobe Theke

It's one of the easiest and most fun to use

[cerulean vine]

Fair, tho I didn’t start first

[lyric pollen]

iam loosing my mind over my sound m8

[pallid marsh]

you werent the only one suffering bozo

[lyric pollen]

i know that m8

[pallid marsh]

i had to figure out why that shit didnt render stuff correctly

[lyric pollen]

did u find it tho?

[pallid marsh]

now that i am feeling better i can force people to switch to temple os

[pallid marsh]

yeah it was the animations

they work but they caused the weird glitch during startup for some reason

they made my life miserable

now i want them more

[lyric pollen]

i feel ur pain
wanting a feature thats great but breaks ur pc

[pallid marsh]

it doesnt exactly break it

it only causes the glitch when i start hyprcrap with animations enabled

so i just need to bind it to a key and enable/disable it

will make my life better

until bozos fix it

i havent riced my system properly yet

[fallen raptor]

Is ArcoLinux good?

[lyric pollen]

dont know m8

[fallen raptor]

Imma just switch to Ubuntu

Kubuntu time guys

[crude sluice]

Mainly system breaking during an update and having to go back. "Bleeding edge" stuff is nice to have, but its not enough of a compelling reason to move away from the stability that comes with debian or even fedora

If I want to customzie every single thing I install in my machine, I might as well install gentoo

[dusty ibex]

fully user fault. don't upgrade arch within 2 years same as debian then you've stability. every extras arch provides are optional for powerusers.

arch bleeding edge is a wrong term. packages are
stable: chrome, linux
bleeding edge: chrome-canary-git, linux-git
i can install chrome-canary in debian then call debian a bleeding edge distro?

[crude sluice]

A response saying "Just Don't Upgrade" for Stability, is akin to telling someone "Just Don't Breathe" because the Air Quality is Bad. It ignores the reason why regular updates are needed for security and functionality.

Moreover, what if another backdoor gets found like the liblzma one a couple of months ago? Upgrading will be necessary and waiting around to upgrade just for it to be "more stable" is absurd. Debian and others fast tracks security upgrades so I get the best of both worlds.

And you seemed to have misunderstood, Nightly builds aren't bleeding edge. But the fact that Arch ships out "stable" builds of packages more frequently than other distributions is. It's can be a benefit to many, but not me.

This is what Debian Testing and Fedora does better for my use case, packages are "screened" longer relative to Arch then shipped out. A bonus of that extra time is developers get more time to update and fix issues on their apps for example, so it don't get a seizure when one or more dependency gets updated/deleted/whatever.

[crude sluice]

Have you got it installed?

[turbid cobalt]

Cachyos time les goo

[dusty ibex]

fully incorrect

regular updates are needed for security and functionality. waiting around to upgrade just for it to be "more stable" is absurd
debian/fedora both waits/pauses updates so you're not getting any latest security or functionality in them either. for example try upgrading latest gnome package in existing debian system.

backdoor gets found like the liblzma
packages are downgradable in arch
and backdoors can be hidden for multiple years affecting all distros that you consider stable.

arch has 3 types of packages from stable, nightly(bleeding edge which you call) to LTS (linux, linux-git, linux-lts)

[lyric pollen]

aight

i finally got the sound fixed
(with help from my cousins)

[lyric pollen]

its not that arch is bad
its just that the installation and usage of it is very complicated and time consuming
(if u dont know what u are doing)

[turbid cobalt]

The newmode gets added but Can't output it
How do I fix this?

So I'm getting this issue trying to fix the resolution

T^T

[crude sluice]

gnome updates =/= security updates
Security updates are always fast tracked on both Fedora and Debian

Arch's philosphy entails that even the stable ver is still at the bleeding edge of tech

Hence why I prefer Debian instead of dealing with arch's hassle again

[pallid marsh]

calling arch an hassle doesnt make sense just because its bleeding edge

it can break with updates though

but its really easy to fix things

debain is definitely easier to maintain at the cost of updates but arch isnt all that bad

[crude sluice]

even if its really easy, its still a hassle

[pallid marsh]

especially even debain isnt safe from having bad versions of software at the moment i think

[crude sluice]

maybe because im kinda old, tinkering aint fun as it used to be

[crude sluice]

fr, I had issues with obs on wayland cuz pipewire was too old

[pallid marsh]

but arch is better than ubuntu based distros

[crude sluice]

moving to debain-testing fixed all of my issues but flatpaks are nice and fixes all these issues as well

[pallid marsh]

there are too many of them and most suck

[crude sluice]

that I can kinda agree with

canonical can eat shit and die

[pallid marsh]

debain based lm is a W

[turbid cobalt]

T-T

Do I have to stick with such Stretchy screen

[fallen raptor]

Nope

[fallen raptor]

You don't do it like that

[turbid cobalt]

Ayy bro did you manage to fix resolution prob in arch?

[fallen raptor]

Go to settings

Display settings

[turbid cobalt]

theres no options for 1360x768

[fallen raptor]

Are you using X11?

Or Wayland?

[turbid cobalt]

kde

[fallen raptor]

I think KDE is Wayland

[turbid cobalt]

Yeah Ig

Idk

[fallen raptor]

You can check in system options

There's a command too but I forgot because why remember it when you can do it the easy way

[turbid cobalt]

it's Wayland

[fallen raptor]

Welp

Even I don't know how to solve Wayland

[turbid cobalt]

T^T

[fallen raptor]

Xrandr is a X11 tool and only works in X11

Or Xorg

[turbid cobalt]

I can't even understand shit in internet solutions

[fallen raptor]

They are display managers if you're wondering, and KDE is a desktop environment.
A desktop environment is the way OS looks and display manager does display managing stuff

[fallen raptor]

Me neither 😭

Are you using Grub?

There's another work around

[turbid cobalt]

No T-T

the default system boot

T-T

[fallen raptor]

Rip

[fallen raptor]

SystemD?

[turbid cobalt]

yeah that

Is this thing supposed to be empty?

[crude sluice]

you can switch from wayland to xorg and vice versa
since you're using an old pc, xorg should be work fine

[turbid cobalt]

how

[crude sluice]

log out

and show me your login screen

[turbid cobalt]

desktop sessions?

[crude sluice]

yeah choose xorg or x11

[crude sluice]

did you get it?

[turbid cobalt]

yeah

[crude sluice]

sweet you are running xorg now

[turbid cobalt]

Woo

:0

Resolution got fixed

YIPPEE

[turbid cobalt]

Thankssss

[fallen raptor]

Where's the Xorg button, I don't see anything

[fallen raptor]

Congrats

[fallen raptor]

Wayland might be more stable and everything but it lacks the maturity in my opinion

[fallen raptor]

What distro is it btw

[crude sluice]

Did you switch over to xorg potatochips?

[fallen raptor]

I'm using Xorg xD

[surreal pine]

clicking this here should bring the option

[fallen raptor]

I'll try

[vagrant crag]

why can just try windows?

it better

matter of fact try mac os

its the best

Eww

Windows

you got a bad pc buddy

[fallen raptor]

That's the thing

And Microsoft makes it worse

At least on Linux I don't get that annoying Microsoft 365 screen

[turbid cobalt]

[fallen raptor]

Thinking of trying it out

[turbid cobalt]

[turbid cobalt]

heeyyy
long time no see
How're you?/

[fallen raptor]

Yes please

[lyric pollen]

whats with all the breaches these days?
this is a linux forum
Why are windows guys showing up and dissing linux?

[crude sluice]

let em do their thing

[fallen raptor]

[lyric pollen]

he doesnt know u hate it

[fallen raptor]

Guess what? We moved from windows so no thanks

[fallen raptor]

I'm letting him know that he's a clown

[lyric pollen]

m8 just let em do their thing
in the end it all boils down to user preference

[fallen raptor]

True

But I want some human interaction

I'm bored

I miss having arguments and debates

[lyric pollen]

go to #🍷┃lounge

[fallen raptor]

I'll try

[blazing vault]

alive, wassup

[blazing vault]

what we need is supercharged flatpak, flatpak current spec is gay

security in linux may be deceptive, while there may not be very many active known exploits, there is no av either, sooooo you can just do what you wanna do in a straight forward way 😭

rial man, you gotta upgrade, it is itch inside your brain, MUST UPGRADE

me personally, i upgrade 3 times a day

: )

[fallen raptor]

#🍷┃lounge people are not chill at all

Never going there

Ever again

[lyric pollen]

u wanted a debate

and lounge is the place where they do that

[fallen raptor]

I wanted a proper debate

😔

Not somebody saying "Skill issue"

Wanted to socialize

But made me realize that this generation is not for socializing

It's doomed

[lyric pollen]

brain rot basically

[fallen raptor]

I wanted to say it

Glad we think the same

[lyric pollen]

then again
in my early days i spent most of my time there

so.........

[turbid cobalt]

T-T

[fallen raptor]

At least we didn't develop from it

[lyric pollen]

i dont know about myself tho
but u, dear sir, actually avoided it

[fallen raptor]

You gotta agree with me this time
||Gummy bear was the best brainrot song of around 2010s||

[pallid marsh]

hi yall

rakib is still typing...

[dusty ibex]

what if another backdoor gets found like the liblzma one a couple of months ago? Upgrading will be necessary

regular updates are needed for security and functionality

package updates =/= security updates
keep a fixed opinion.

security updates are always fast tracked
security fixes comes as bug fixes. a bug fix of gnome 47 always can't be backported to old gnome 43(debian 12) when there is lot of code differences. distro's security updates here doesn't include all bug fixes which is impossible without updating gnome.

arch's philosphy entails that even the stable version is still at the bleeding edge of tech
firefox, firefox-beta, firefox-dev, firefox-nightly, firefox-lts 5 packages in arch.
do you call everything here bleeding edge? this is completely upto package maintainers. stable version is marked by mozilla, not arch.

[pallid marsh]

uhh

[pallid marsh]

exactly why temple os is better

i keep getting ghosted and ignored

[pallid marsh]

can i ping you so i can make the chat alive?

[fallen raptor]

Ye sure

[fallen raptor]

Ew

[surreal pine]

💀

[fallen raptor]

I'm studying tho

I'll be quitting this GC for 2 months

I have exam

[pallid marsh]

hmm ok then goodbye creep

[fallen raptor]

Not the GC but trying out Linux

I'll continue after exam

[fallen raptor]

Don't cry bro, I'll be back

[pallid marsh]

you are gone

you probably will be back when i goto sleep

[fallen raptor]

I'll be back in 2 months

[crude sluice]

..tf you on? Reread everything I written, I've always said that security and stability updates are necessary.

Firstly, Drill into your head that nothing in the world is fully secure. Security Updates are not here to only fix bugs, they often include new shit or outright remove existing ones. If a vulnerability exists at a hardware level for example, patches are released as soon as possible to make the exploit harder to abuse. If there is a vulnerability that has been discovered and a patch ready, it'll be shipped by Fedora, Debian and Arch at roughly the same time.

Moreover, not having the latest version of gnome or whatever, can't hinder my ability to get security updates. There is a reason why a majority of servers in the world still run Debian and not Arch.

Besides if a new bug does get introduced and subsequently patched on a newer version of gnome like you mentioned. It won't make the current version of Debian with an older ver of gnome any less secure. The bug that causes the vulnerability just does not exist.

By the time the newer version of gnome ships to users, the fix will already be applied.

firefox, firefox-beta, firefox-dev, firefox-nightly, firefox-lts 5 packages in arch.
do you call everything here bleeding edge? this is completely upto package maintainers. stable version is marked by mozilla, not arch.

You have a fundamental misunderstanding of what it means by "bleeding edge".
Look up the fastfetch github and see what's the version number available on the Debian and Arch repos. Both of them are stable, but the "bleeding edge" aspect comes from the "newness" of the package. Even though both of them are "stable", the newer one might:

• have newer bugs that have remained hidden
• started using a newer ver of a dependency, whereas most other programs still use the older ver of said dependency.
• Be incompatible with other programs which use this as a dependency.

The newer bugs can become a vulnerability in the future, and the mismatched dependencies can cause a sleuth of programs to just break/not run/whatever or worse, break the entire system.

This is also why its called "bleeding edge", it can make you metaphorically "bleed". Fedora, SUSE and Ubuntu are often called "cutting edge" since while they have newer packages, they're often not as up to date as Arch. An edge sharp but not enough to cause bleeding.

[pallid marsh]

average loonix forum moment

[crude sluice]

It's over for me

[dusty ibex]

🤣

[dusty ibex]

hmm i understand. start learning linux basics and word meanings from here https://redlib.catsarch.com/r/archlinux/comments/38xvxw/how_stable_is_the_bleeding_edge_maybe_switching/
any other silly questions you can ask to chatgpt.

[dusty ibex]

everything you've written above is plain bullshit but also raised a fair question

started using a newer ver of a dependency, whereas most other programs still use the older ver of said dependency
arch package manager "pacman" smartly keeps copies of old dependency versions as needed. e.g.

[blazing vault]

No? It does not
Imagine if it did
There would be world peace, I believe that's just how it was packaged, it doesn't keep previous stuff, a package was packaged with 2 libc.so,credit is not on pacman, it is on package maintainer

Pacman keeps cache only

Too lazy to backread

Idk what y'all yapping about
Arch isn't beta thing, beta shit is in testing repository 💀, stable shit comes to mainline repositories, well whatever developers call stable that is

[dusty ibex]

ah yes

[blazing vault]

Only nixos is capable of keeping multiple versions of stuff due to how it links and shit 💀

[dusty ibex]

i'm using bottom package. pacman checks if lib name is listed and keeps. so credit goes to both i would say

[blazing vault]

There is no file conflicts, it is just sorted in /nix/store
Changes links to fs to where it is in that directory

[blazing vault]

What did pacman do 💀
It just places whatever was packaged to go where ever it was supposed to go in the fs

No sophistication there

Sadly can't prevent package fs conflicts, if a package has smth that conflicts with filesystem(due to whatever another package installation had placed in there) pacman is unable to dynamically link different fs spots for different packages

[dusty ibex]

if two package relies on libc.so.6 then when you uninstall one, pacman would still keep libc.so.6 for the other package to work. if both are uninstalled then pacman should remove libc.so.6 freeing up space.

[blazing vault]

Well yea, but it can't have 2 different version of same dependency package for 2 different packages

[dusty ibex]

it can if same dependency is published with different names(ids).
e.g. gtk4, gtk3 different versions of gtk works alongside.

and apps can load dependencies conditionally. for example chrome can run on any of gtk3 or gtk4

notice how they give different names for each version

now if a package relies on "python313" and other package on "python" then pacman will keep both

this acts as min version, max version. giving maintainers enough time to adapt to latest python package

[pallid marsh]

guys please touch grass

[blazing vault]

Why tf blender crush when library versions mismatch 😭

[blazing vault]

No I will keep touching myself

[pallid marsh]

why are you active and inactive at the same time?

[blazing vault]

Misinformation

💀

[pallid marsh]

damn bro hides from the lounge

[crude sluice]

Asking Reddit if Arch is bleeding edge is like asking a fruitarian if they can actually live on a diet of nothing but fruits. I can easily find a Reddit thread where most people agree that Arch is 'bleeding edge': https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/6862gr/why_is_arch_linux_so_bleeding_edge/

[crude sluice]

iirc all package managers suffers from dependency issues, often exacerbated on Arch. GTK versions(1, 2, 3, 4) like you mentioned are more akin to python versions(2 and 3), they're not meant to "completely" replace one another but kind work alongside, even though there is a "superior" one. People naturally switch over to the newer one for the benefits until very few people are still using the old one, soon after the old one gets axed.

Appimages shouldve been more popular than theyre now, they solve all these and much more.

Enough linux talk for me, I feel even more like a vegan

therefore unlike you i also provided unbiased gpt definitions earlier for validation. reread

from the reddit link you've provided

it's a common sense at this point

[blazing vault]

Bhai please don't torture yourself, don't use gemini

😭

[blazing vault]

Depends on defination
If it is having latest thing that devs call stable, then sure it is bleeding edge, else it isnt

Duh

If suffering and waiting for stable upto a year after they become stable is your thing, use non rolling release distro

Problem is alpha gigachad programmers test in production, soooo you win some you lose some

[dusty ibex]

i'm using every ai. gemini, llama, gpt4
bleeding edge simply isn't a arch thing. applies to all softwares in general.

[blazing vault]

Hm
Same 😭
Just not Gemini, it talks too much without getting to the point in my exp

[dusty ibex]

true

[blazing vault]

Llama 3.1 405b was disappointment...

Good open codegen models don't exist, Claude has spoiled me, chatgpt is far far off that level, probably llama 3.1 and chatgpt 4o produce similar results

[crude sluice]

Straight from the about page - https://archlinux.org/about/

[dusty ibex]

"typically offers the latest stable versions of most software"

strives to stay bleeding edge (using aur, -git)

[crude sluice]

emphasis on "typically", it means not always

[crude sluice]

I get aur, but -git? what does it have to do bleeding edge?

not a comp sci student so my experience with git is limited to knowing that it helps manage versions and stuff

[dusty ibex]

-git is suffix linux-git

hyprland-git

[crude sluice]

is this where people add commits and shit?

[dusty ibex]

bleeding edge packages don't have exact versions

random r1 hashes

commit hash

[crude sluice]

One thing that confuses me about arch, when downloading something from the AUR, wouldn't the built package downloaded be built for another system?

[surreal pine]

-git packages basically install off of the latest commit from their git source

[dusty ibex]

aur packages are simply bash scripts that uses compilers (gcc, rustc, go) to generate binaries and puts into respective folders usually /usr/bin/. this binary should work on every system unless they have different cpu architecture or relies on other dynamic shared ".so" files. then .so files also need to be compiled beforehand, pacman handle this automatic.

[surreal pine]

so the latest you can find

[dusty ibex]

in windows these "so" are known as "dll" files

[crude sluice]

Interesting

is it relatively easy to upload to the aur?

[dusty ibex]

probably. haven't tried myself. bunch of guidelines

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AUR_submission_guidelines

[crude sluice]

Hmm

I haven't touched python or any languages since highschool. Thinking about creating a super simple barebones markdown text editor to learn and a grip on python and making apps and other stuff

If I get around in doing in that, I can get upload in AUR for feedback and stuff

Delisting packages there seems to be pretty simple as well

[surreal pine]

even if you can't upload to the AUR you can just upload the repo to github or something and then people can install it almost as easily as AUR packages

[crude sluice]

that too

[blazing vault]

Yes
It is not so much a upload, you just get to upload a script... It is like GitHub but for build scripts
cant host binaries in there

[pallid marsh]

guys linux is fake

its a dream

instead use temple os

[fallen raptor]

Nah temple OS is fake

Remember

You're dreaming

So everything is fake

[pallid marsh]

nope i am not when temple os is around

you are when linux is there

[turbid cobalt]

Is the UI great?

[fallen raptor]

Isn't temple OS from like 1990s?

[turbid cobalt]

The UI looked a little old to me

[lyric pollen]

use unix

[blazing vault]

Rial

[pallid marsh]

yes

[pallid marsh]

you just cant comprehend a nice ui full of creativity

[pallid marsh]

bsd is made by cucks, mac os sucks for me

Dude, I just need to get my work done without having to tinker in terminal to get shit working.

Waste of time with this distro IMO.

[blazing vault]

What did you have to tinker?

[blazing vault]

Well most of my stuff hardcore rely on Linux as a platform

If yours doesn't and you don't have any attachment to platform in any way, it might be best to cut your lost time and jump ships to debloated windows 10

[lyric pollen]

agreed

[pallid marsh]

no way bro thought cachy os was usable for casual users

[blazing vault]

it is

wtf

it is the easiest

imagine having to use terminal to install shit, you get cachy package manager here
and it is shit, so install pamac in it, ez

ar ki ei ba ase

[pallid marsh]

arch with gui package manager idk

[lyric pollen]

no offence
but we linux users are insane enough to handle it
normal people arent
(my cousin literally told me to switch to windows and he uses linux himself)

[blazing vault]

people arent comfortable with new ui, that is all

there is nothing else to it

[lyric pollen]

using everything for terminal?

[blazing vault]

bhai no terminal option ase

are you new?

lol?

[pallid marsh]

actually its because they start with binbows

[pallid marsh]

wait what

[lyric pollen]

fedora has it

[pallid marsh]

bro thinks we use discord from terminal 💀

[lyric pollen]

idk whether cachy has it or not

(i just use terminal most of the time)

[blazing vault]

bro what, this isnt distro dependent

[lyric pollen]

idk

[lyric pollen]

id like to do that actually

[pallid marsh]

i need to rice my system properly

[pallid marsh]

same

electron app sucks

[blazing vault]

it is independent of distros, all arch linux based distros can use it
and gnome-software uses flatpak, all distros can have it, what i showed, is pamac made by manjaro team

[pallid marsh]

disgusting

especially on my slow pc

[pallid marsh]

you forgot discover

[blazing vault]

if you tell me you use vscode, i will consume you
: )

use neovim

lol

[lyric pollen]

i use vscode

[pallid marsh]

neovim overrated for new users

only diagnostic data

[pallid marsh]

same shit i dont wanna send no data to michaelshaft

[lyric pollen]

imma use the text editor

[blazing vault]

it was recorded long long ago, when i didnt exactly know a lotta vim motions

[pallid marsh]

btw how is zeditor yall?

[blazing vault]

zed, lapce all shit

hardcore shit

unusable

[pallid marsh]

idk i cant run zed because it requires vulkan

ngl its good

[pallid marsh]

yeah my desktop looks like shit compared to that

also fuk kdeconnect

[blazing vault]

no mouse was involed in recording of that video

[pallid marsh]

i think my wifi settings are shit

because kde connect works sometimes and doesnt

only in my laptop though

[blazing vault]

kde servers go down sometimes

[pallid marsh]

kde connect requires servers?

[blazing vault]

oh connect, i was talking about kde discover

bro does your firewall allow kde connect to connect to phone?

it isnt your wifi's fault

how does it work sometimes and not other times if my firewall blocks it

i tried all firewall commands and stuff

[pallid marsh]

hmm ok imma try it out

[blazing vault]

it shouldnt work at all

are you sure it "sometimes" works

[pallid marsh]

i literally get notifications form my phone can pause media

no idea how its possible otherwise

😭

[pallid marsh]

i didnt even run the script yet

[blazing vault]

maybe it allows some ports?
kde connect uses a range of ports

[pallid marsh]

hmm i enabled all the ports from the kde guide/help support thing

gsconnect is wild

i am connected to my own pc

gsconnect is now working seamlessly without me even doing anything

imma switch to hyprland

so now its working for no reason

[fallen raptor]

I just did Sudo rm -rf and nothing happened

I thought my files and directories and everything was loaded on ram but everything seems to be working

Windows moment

Fr

[blazing vault]

You forgot the /*

[fallen raptor]

Crap

[lyric pollen]

did the home directory finally go "poof"?

[fallen raptor]

Didn't try

I formatted my drive

I'm going to Hop yet again

After October

Because tests

[lyric pollen]

from manjaro to?(u were using manjaro right?)

[fallen raptor]

Maybe back to EndovourusOS or Kubuntu

[fallen raptor]

Yeah Manjaro

[blazing vault]

Try on a container 😭

[fallen raptor]

Idk what's a container, like a stripped down VM or something?

Just for programs?

[blazing vault]

Here is a disposable environment

podman run -it --rm archlinux bash

Just install podman

[blazing vault]

Vm but both machines share same kernel
Thus just as fast as baremetal with very small overhead

Distrobox uses it to let you run apps from multiple distro
But mounts user home and does bunch's other stuff, idk
It isn't sandboxed, just mounting seperate home isn't enough I heard 💀, Incase you really need sandboxed environment, just use bare podman or docker

[fallen raptor]

I see

[pallid marsh]

What is bro gonna do with containers

[fallen raptor]

You're right

[lyric pollen]

use unix?
or templeOS?
Arch?

[pallid marsh]

Why would he do that

[lyric pollen]

idk

[pallid marsh]

How is that helpful to a beginner

[lyric pollen]

its not my idea
or his

[pallid marsh]

But you responded to my question

[lyric pollen]

for no reason
i speculated
thats all

[pallid marsh]

But now you are a part of this convo and i will drag you every single time

[lyric pollen]

ok

and u did wanted someone to respond

[pallid marsh]

Yeah so now you are responsible for everything

[lyric pollen]

ok

(u arent doing anything tho)

btw which distro do u use?(i forgot)

[pallid marsh]

I use a linux distro indeed

[lyric pollen]

which one?

[pallid marsh]

The one that a lot of people do use

[lyric pollen]

that'd be?

[pallid marsh]

A lightweight one

[lyric pollen]

dont make me say it(arch?)

[pallid marsh]

Yeah

See i didnt mention it

Yet people say that we are let everyone know

[lyric pollen]

aight
(sorry for pinging tho)

[pallid marsh]

But in reality everyone knows

[pallid marsh]

When did that affect me

[lyric pollen]

idk
