Treczoks, in Bored With Bash? Change the Default Shell in Linux

The article just describes the how, but gives no reasons for a why.

So, why would anyone move away from the de-facto standard bash, except for some rare circumstances like having a small system and using busybox?

dino,

You probably never used fish shell.

More NixOS!!!

highduc,

Guix ftw!

ishigami_san,

Definitely more Guix, esp. as now Guix is available to NixOS

highduc, in What are you most excited when it comes to linux in 2024?

I hope Valve will make the Index VR work again after breaking it with the 2.x updates in October :')

zaphodb2002, in What are you most excited when it comes to linux in 2024?

Getting my Pinephone Pro up and running, and getting away from Google forever, finally. Also I’m gonna make the jump from Arch to either Gentoo and/or Guix, I think.

KseniyaK,

Mee too. Already switched to Gentoo. I also plan on setting up my own NAS.

Linux will eventually make it seriously to the desktop in the next few years, possibly going as high as 15%-20% of the userbase (in my country Greece it’s already at 9%). But only because MS is going to destroy its Windows base by making it subscription etc.

2024 will be the year of the linux desktop

Definitely COSMIC DE, can’t wait to check out all the cool stuff they’ve been doing!

Personally I’m excited to see Flatpak become more widespread and usable, fixing some “rough around the edges” aspects of it. I’ve been using it quite a bit this past few months and I think it presents a really coherent, simple vision for how to do package distribution that solves a lot of pain points. The sandboxing functionality is critical and easy to use, I don’t need every app to have access to everything in my home directory.

luthis, in How do I get Nviddia drivers to work in arch?

Have you tried pacman -Syu nvidia?

Liz_thestrange,

Yes, he is been using arch for almost year and a half but he has never managed to make the drivers work, this pakage unfortunatley didn´t work neither when he tried himself or now while I’m trying to help him, thanks btw

drwankingstein, in An EEVDF CPU scheduler for Linux [LWN.net]

EEVDF has been an insane improvement for the desktop, I can compile programs while listening to music and watching videos without any issues since the update, the responsiveness when my computer is maxed out is amazing, and the perf hasn’t lessened any noticeable amount

odium, in How do I get Nviddia drivers to work in arch?
Liz_thestrange,

I’m reading again everything to see for something that could help, it’s look like optimus could be a solution, thanks

warmaster,

Indeed, since it’s a laptop. It uses the iGPU for battery saving graphics and the Nvidia dGPU for performance. That’s hybrid graphics / optimus.

That said, Nvidia is a pain. I always recommend distrohopping until you land on a distro that mostly works for your use case and go from there.

navigatron,

Optimus gets complex quick. You’ll be reading pci bus ids before you know it. Keep the wiki open, go slowly; you got this :)

CubitOom, (edited ) in How do I get Nviddia drivers to work in arch?

The best thing about arch is the wiki.

wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA

That said, on a laptop, you will likely need prime, optimus, or bumblebee depending on your CPU/GPU.

Liz_thestrange,

I’m looking right now on optimus, and it’s seems like it’s what we need, we’ll be testing it as soon as possible, thank you very much!

IrritableOcelot, in Rust for Linux — in space [LWN.net]

Huh, the idea of running a general purpose and a real-time kernel side-by-side is new to me. Makes sense though, pretty cool!
