MyNameIsRichard, in What distros have you tried and thought, "Nope, this one's not for me"?
@MyNameIsRichard@lemmy.ml avatar

Fedora Core. It had so many problems updating. That would have been in the mid 2000s so it may have improved since then.

Thank you for sharing!

FrostyPolicy, in File transfer to USB drive fails after 4.3 gb

Sounds like the drive is FAT32 formatted. Max file size then is 4GiB. Compress it with bzip2 or 7zip or try the @bartolomeo’s solution.

tasankovasara, in What distros have you tried and thought, "Nope, this one's not for me"?

GNU Guix. Need to do an Ayahuasca ceremony sometimes and try again with a much more radiant mind.

buckykat, in File transfer to USB drive fails after 4.3 gb

flash drive is probably formatted FAT32 and that file is too big for that format. reformat the flash drive to exfat.

drwho, in Can one recover from an accidental rm -rf of system directories by copying those files back in from a backup?

Your chances are pretty good if you copy them back - ultimately, that’s what the restoration function of backup software does.

As for ownership of the directories and files, that’s a bit trickier and might involve some trial and error. root:root is a safe bet for most of it, but there is a lot of stuff in /var that is owned by system accounts.

What distro are you running? That’ll help figure it out.

I’m running Fedora 39 KDE. I think I’m going to see what the file metadata of my other Fedora systems look like and try to replicate that. Worst case I just reinstall. At this point I’m a little curious how the system will react.

drwho,

That’s entirely valid. Good luck.

Thank you! Regardless of the outcome I will update the main post with my findings in hopes giving anyone else in the same position some more info.

M500, in Why do you use the terminal?

It is quick. it does not need to load a bunch of things and in certain tasks, I can do multiple things at once.

I also find it easier to navigate and edit files with tab to complete.

youngGoku, in New systemd update will bring Windows’ infamous Blue Screen of Death to Linux | Ars Technica

This is a joke, right?

youngGoku,

When the system crashes?

So very rarely I guess.

@ardent_abysm@lemm.ee avatar

It is a real, and useful feature, while also being a joke.

Cralder,

It’s real. A bluescreen is literally just an error message displayed in fullscreen so it’s not as weird as it sounds

virr,

More of it will display the LOG_EMERG message instead of just stopping without displaying anything.

There are some headless servers I’d prefer to just reboot, but unless actual hardware is faulty I would not be too worried about it.

KseniyaK, (edited ) in systemd 255 Released With A "Blue Screen of Death" For Linux Systems

I hope this isn’t going to be the default. I know, the average granny might prefer to have a BSOD with a QR code, but I think a lot of the people who are more tech-savvy, like me, would prefer to see log messages when booting because then you could see which service failed and why or why it’s all of a sudden taking so long to boot. That’s also why I choose not to have a splash screen when booting.

Anyways, this BSOD thing doesn’t apply to me because I use Gentoo with OpenRC.

I’m honestly fine if this is the default for beginner distros, as long as it’s easy to disable and there is still a way to get to the logs

SeeJayEmm,
@SeeJayEmm@lemmy.procrastinati.org avatar

Just let me hit ESC and see the panic.

pl_woah,

Came here to say this. Let them toggle the logs or the QR code.

Still, in "Combokeys" instead of hotkeys. [Feature/new command suggestion]
@Still@programming.dev avatar

I think you can already do this in one shortcuts, not sure of any standalone program that does, if definably accidentally bond like Ctrl+d, Ctrl+s to screenshot before

MentalEdge, in can you chkdsk from a windows vm?
@MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz avatar

I don’t think so, but you should be able to create an install usb, same as for linux, boot into that, and access recovery tools. From there, you can definitely run chkdsk, done it before though I don’t recall every step.

ryonia,
@ryonia@beehaw.org avatar

For those who don’t know, shift+F10 to bring up a command prompt when using a windows install image. Can do it when it starts asking you for stuff. I know the chkdsk tools and manage-bde (the bitlocker cli) are avaliable there at least.

cybersandwich, in Laptop with long runtime

system76.com/laptops/lemur

14 hours of battery life. Linux out of the box and even has coreboot if you care about that sort of thing.

bamboo,

Does anyone have one of these that could confirm if that’s realistic? I’ve seen many laptops with similar specs and claims that come out to significantly lower battery life unless you do nothing but stare at an empty desktop.

chris,

Yeah… unless they’re doing some serious optimization for that particular laptop, 14-hours seems like a best-case-scenario kind of thing.

bamboo,

The optimization might just be the rather large battery. Usually laptops with U-series processors have 40-60Eh batteries, the spec sheet shows a 73Wh battery in there.

cybersandwich, (edited )

Wired has a good review on it:

Where the Lemur Pro really shines is battery life. System76 claims 14 hours, and I managed 11 hours in our battery drain test (looping a 1080p video). In real-world use, I frequently eked out over 13 hours. That’s off the charts better than any other Linux laptop I’ve tested recently.

www.wired.com/review/system-76-lemur-pro-laptop/

If you aren’t interested in MacBooks, this imo is one of the best alternatives–especially if battery life is a high priority.

shrugal, (edited ) in Darling runs macOS software directly without using a hardware emulator

Oh come on, we could have lived in a world where the translation layers are called WINE and DINE!

RickyRigatoni,
@RickyRigatoni@lemmy.ml avatar

How petty would it be to make a fork of it just to rename it to DINE?

whostosay,

You’d likely need to write someone complimentary software called KNIFE.

shrugal,

It’s the only logical choice!

The right kind of petty.

ouRKaoS,

I mean, “Wine, Darling?” Is still pretty good

jelloeater85, in Laptop with long runtime
@jelloeater85@lemmy.world avatar

Got a old Dell Latitude 7490 runs for 5-7 hrs, quite cheap. Running Ubuntu with everything except the fingerprint reader working.

not_a_bot_i_swear,
@not_a_bot_i_swear@lemmy.world avatar

That is nor really a great runtime for me. I get that it’s different for everyone, though. I edited my original post.

jelloeater85,
@jelloeater85@lemmy.world avatar

Maybe look at getting a Mac M2? I’ve got one for work and the battery life is insane 😎

sexy_peach, (edited ) in What's with all these hip filesystems and how are they different?

you’re forgetting about the all new bcachefs

dunno I also wonder if it’s worth it for personal use

Now THAT is hip

sexy_peach,

Well I am a very cool guy 😏
