lntl, in TIL

$ usermod -G wheel lntl

i think that’s right

jonman364,

Need to throw a -a in there otherwise wheel will be your only extra group.

Arlos, in /etc/fstab entry for Synology NAS

I assume you’ve just twisted two numbers in the second octet. 186 but in the example above it’s 168

Fix it and it should work.

Diplomjodler,

Holy crap. You’re right. For the record: I’m an idiot.

BlackEco, in /etc/fstab entry for Synology NAS

What error message do you have (if any) when you try to mount your folder (sudo mount /home/pi/mount/NAS)

Diplomjodler,

I just get this:

mount.nfs: Connection timed out

BlackEco,
@BlackEco@lemmy.blackeco.com avatar

Weird. Have you tried removing 0 0 at the end of your fstab entry? This option is not supported on recent NFS versions

Strit, in Spending a few days with Hyprland made me realize how awesome Gnome is
@Strit@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show avatar

The difference, as I understand it, is that Hyprland is not a DE, it’s a Windows Manager. So it should be compared with the likes of Sway, i3 and Awesome.

wfh,

True.

nyan, in /etc/fstab entry for Synology NAS

As a wild guess, try completely specifying the IP address in your fstab instead of relying on a wildcard. Wouldn’t be the first time there was a slight difference in how a marginal feature like that worked in different contexts.

Diplomjodler,

The IP address in the actual file is complete. I just didn’t want to put it here. I guess I should have put another number.

Xavier, in Just install EndeavorOS lol

That reminds me, some time ago I tried installing Garuda on a Ryzen 5800H based mini PC but there where so many issues (namely worrisome graphical artefacting, which has never occurred with other distros on the same mini PC) I had to abort and abandon trying it until maybe the next or a future release.

I simply wanted to check out Garuda (arch based, if I recall well). I used the Cinnamon iso with Ventoy (not sure where the issue arose from).

Holzkohlen,

That’s weird. I have had zero issues with it so far (talking about distro specific issues) and I am running this with an AMD APU, Nvidia GPU, prime offloading on wayland. Works like an absolute charm. Though granted, this isn’t quite out of the box, you may not need to be a wizard to figure it out, but I would not recommended this to a noob.

carpelbridgesyndrome, in Just install EndeavorOS lol

I will not stand slander of the arch wiki.

Also start with Linux Mint XFCE (unless they’ve fixed the stability problems with cinnamon)

chicken,

When I started using LM I had a lot of problems, but switching to XFCE fixed most of them

dan, in Best practices in mounting NAS shares?

If you do this, make sure you use snapshots, ideally taken automatically. You wouldn’t want ransomware to overwrite the files on your NAS.

C126, in Open Source NVIDIA Vulkan Driver NVK Reaches Vulkan 1.0 Conformance

What does this mean for the average user?

Specialpatrol,

A step toward having an nvidia driver that comes with your open source Linux distro

C126,

I meant, how is it different than what I had before? What is vulkan 1.0?

Specialpatrol,

Some computer games and other graphics intensive apps are using vulkan, and they will now work with an nvidia card without needing to go get nvidias proprietary driver, which is often buggy due to not being properly tested with your desktop and system in general.

radioactiveradio, in Shadow Cast v0.6.1: GPU Accelerated Screen Recorder - Now with Wayland Support

Wow you’re fast, beautiful goofy picture guy.

baduhai, in Just install EndeavorOS lol

Wiki do not have answer

?? The arch wiki is one of the greatest Linux resources out there. Sure there may be situations where it doesn’t have the answer for something, but for a new user? It has all bases covered.

MiddledAgedGuy,

I agree. I don’t use Arch (I have in the past) but I use Arch Wiki heavily.

@Tlaloc_Temporal@lemmy.ca avatar

On one hand, the archlinux bbs had the only exact reference to the issue I was having. On the other hand, no one could replicate it enough to figure anything out. :/

Titou,
@Titou@feddit.de avatar

im pretty sure the OP never took a look at Arch and just follow the hate movement

Kushia,
@Kushia@lemmy.ml avatar

It’s actually really great… if you know how to interpret and apply the information on it to your situation and adapt as needed. A good new user experience it does not make however.

dewritoninja, in The Unity Desktop Environment an Underrated Masterpiece

Last time I used unity full time was 3 years ago on an old hp, couldn’t run gnome for some reason and I was very noo in Linux at the time so I installed Ubuntu 16 and upgraded it to 18. The aesthetic was very windows 7. It was alright but I prefer gnome

Lojcs, in Just install EndeavorOS lol

Arch wasn’t my first distro but it was my first daily driver. Found it easier than both mint and Ubuntu personally.

interceder270,

Lol.

SexualPolytope, (edited ) in Just install EndeavorOS lol
@SexualPolytope@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

For a total newbie, Linux Mint or PopOS are probably the best options. But EndeavourOS is getting there. There shouldn’t be any issues during the installation if one sticks to the defaults. Only thing is, it doesn’t come with a graphical package manager out of the box. But once that is installed (I think anyone will be happy to write a single terminal command, at least), I don’t see why it’s any harder to use than any other distro.

andrew_bidlaw,
@andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works avatar

Mint, with any DE, does come with a graphical package manager. It’s as easy as any appstore. The only confusion is it suggests both it’s original and flatpack versions to install.

I think you are talking about EndevourOS there.

SexualPolytope,
@SexualPolytope@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Yeah, I’m talking about EndeavourOS. I don’t see what got you confused.

andrew_bidlaw,
@andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works avatar

Reading it in a linear fashion, you drop one distro after another without much distinction. I believe it’d be better if you serve EndOS it’s own paragraph since it’s so different.

What ‘bruh’?

It isn’t hard to drop a <br> before one starts explaining a completely different OS.

albert180, in Thinkpads RE: Repairability/upgradability

Go with T-Series not with E or L. Better quality of materials, comes with better warranty (you can get up to 5 Years), longer spare parts availability, and usually you can replace more by yourself.

TheWilliamist,

True! T series or P series are much better made. I’d also advise heading over to Lenovo support site and checking the service manual for any machine you’re interested in, just to make sure that the features you may want to upgrade are upgradable.

I’ve noticed Lenovo doing a lot of SOC style systems ala Apple where your RAM is one and done. It’s mostly been on the thin/light segment but…

My biggest complaint has been the fact that they don’t put the USB C inputs on a daughter card. I don’t know what the cost savings is, but I literally had two machines that users had killed the USB on that spent close to 10 months waiting on parts for a warranty repair.

pastermil,

I’d also like to add that between 20 series and 80 series would be the best for build quality (and reasonable performance).

Jumuta,

make sure to get the quad core models for >t440p though
