however when I rebase to that image it drops me into rescue mode after reboot. :(
Did you rebase to the unsigned uBlue image first?
rpm-ostree rebase ostree-unverified-registry:ghcr.io/ublue-os/startingpoint:latest
This will install the proper signing keys and policies and prepare you to rebase to a different signed image. After you run the above command reboot, and then rebase to the actual image you want to rebase to.
I’m surprised you put shell so high when it tends to be less impactful in my experience. Like I care a lot more if my distro is using GNOME instead of KDE a lot more than if it’s using bash instead of zsh. Plus it’s easy to install and use a different shell
It is easy to install another shell indeed, but it is quite difficult to configure it. While installation of DE is usually done with just one command. And you can use linux without DE, but not without shell. Many distributions even do not install DE by default at all.
Okay but unless you are spending a lot of time in the command line, one (POSIX compliant) shell is as good as another. Like yes every distro needs a shell, but I don’t much care which shell it is.
it is a dynamically linked library, meaning its not in the compiled binary, but its assumed to already be on the system. as opposed to a statically linked binary. this lowers the file size of the binaries, because most will use the standard library.
edit: this may not be 100% correct, but its the general idea
Most C binaries usually do not contain everything needed for their execution. It would make them too platform-specific. What most c programs do is that they use standard c library from platform for low-level things and communication with the system like memory allocation or stdin/stdout things, for example.
I second that, install cockpit if you don’t want to bother with the CLI and run a couple of VMs. You can even start 3 VMs and install Kubernetes on them and play with it.
Because it’s not about installing them, it’s making them work that’s not intuitive. I have an nvidia card and some linux experience, it was hard for me to set it up. If you have no background on linux, making it work might make you abandon it. In those cases it’s better to go with something that has everything figured out for you.
I seem to have the nvidia drivers working without having had to fuss too much. I think I may have tried running games before rebooting after graphics drivers were installed because I tried just now and it worked completely fine with the same framerate as on windows!
For me it’s the fact that I have one source of truth for my whole system config that I can stick in git
If I want to clean up software I don’t need anymore I just remove them from the package list and they’re gone next rebuild
Also means when I reinstall or setup a new system I just run the installer, do a git pull, rebuild and I’ve instantly got all my tools, configured just how I like them
Also, if I want to make a big change I can build my system in a VM first to make sure it works first (not that I do that because it also lets me revert to an earlier build from grub if I need to)
I’ve also got both my laptop and my PC on basically identical configurations from the same git repo with each of them having a smaller config file for hardware specific stuff
I also tried jconvolver in the past, but often hit issues when combined with pipewire. Pipewire’s native virtual surround support just works when configured correctly.
You can change the default sink to go to the virtual surround device this way:
<span style="color:#323232;">pactl list short sinks # get sink name
</span><span style="color:#323232;">pactl set-default-sink <set default sink>
</span>
There will be a way to set the default in the pipewire config files (~/.config/pipewire/pipewire.conf.d/*), too.
I use “catia” when I want to do manual audio routing, and I guess similar is possible with pavucontrol.
So yeah, people have gotten hrtf surround sound stuff going with pulse audio, some searching around that should get you where you want.
Butt your last statement about games being “unplayable” in stereo is pretty silly, too, so I want to call that out. Don’t be silly. They aren’t “unplayable”, you aren’t “locked out,” thats silly. 99% of people that have ever played that game played in stereo.
I mean when i switched from stereo to surround it was like a whole new chapter. I got pseudo wallhacks I’m never going back. But I agree it’d be pretty silly to play RTS or city builders with it. Anyways thanks for the lead!
Great news, I’ve been using Linux Mint (Cinnamon) since 2016 as my only operating system without any regrets. The newer versions of Cinnamon keep getting more and more stable too. I have virtually no hard crashes or freezes anymore.
I’m not sure what was wrong with the opensuse install, since I’m pretty sure I got the nvidia drivers to work, but I definitely have everything working with nvidia on fedora
If I ever feel like going back I may do that. In the meantime I’m very happy with what fedora has to offer me so far. Just finishing installing the software I use regularly now!
not sure your exact case, but I would highly recommend using pipewire, Bluetooth audio devices were nothing but pain for me with pulse audio and they just worked on pipewire
