JoeBidet, in would it be illegal to download Ubuntu on a Chromebook?
@JoeBidet@lemmy.ml avatar

…You wouldn’t download a car?!

d3Xt3r,

You wouldn’t shoot a policeman and then steal his helmet?!

KDE, ride or die.

Father_Redbeard, in Is PopOs a good option if i don't want to tinker much with the OS and do some basic tasks as web browsing etc?
@Father_Redbeard@lemmy.ml avatar

Yes. I just switched full time to Pop and I love it.

Botzo, in How do I get rid of excessive password prompts, with the least amount of lost security?

To hazard a guess, this is a gnome keyring asking to be unlocked after login?

Caveat: it has been a few years since I was on gnome.

You can tie it to the login with the gnome keying PAM module.

I’m not sure what keyring exactly, but I would be suprised if it was the gnome keyring because I am using KDE

Botzo, (edited )

Bah, I read Nobara and assumed gnome. You said KDE right there.

Well, good news: Kwallet has a similar feature, albeit through an extra package: wiki.archlinux.org/title/KDE_Wallet#Unlock_KDE_Wa…

Just install your fav distro and install whatever you need

Never installed Linux before, don’t have a fav. That’s why I’m asking.

authed, (edited )

They are mostl all about the same (the major ones)… Different package managers and other differences but basically the same

wuphysics87,

How is this helpful?

authed, (edited )

I used more than 10 distros and don’t really notice that much difference is my point

vildis, in A response to the "Boycott Wayland" article

Wayland does not work properly on Nvidia Hardware: It keeps on getting closer but is not there yet, or so I’ve heard. Apparently, the issue is with the proprietary drivers, as noveau works well. But I use AMD, so I’m only working off rumours and opinions here.

Posting this from Hyprland on NVIDIA, arch (btw) and the nvidia-open-dkms driver, but yes, NVIDIA isn’t fully there yet.

Akinzekeel,

I keep reading this all the time but I have the same setup and I don’t understand what’s supposedly wrong or broken with it. It just seems to work fine. What am I missing here?

gayhitler420, in A response to the "Boycott Wayland" article

I didn’t read any of that but Wayland doesn’t work with xscreensaver so I’m not gonna switch to it.

MiddledAgedGuy,

Just :s/x/w/g on every bit of source code and recompile wscreensaver.

gayhitler420,

Lol at how controversial that comment was.

Gallardo994, in Firefox Is Going To Try And Ship With Wayland Enabled By Default

The fuck is this title lol

joojmachine, in Metal music with Linux?

It seems like a lot of the folk here could be pretty interested in the revival of the Fedora Audio Creation Special Interest Group, as it could become a real powerhouse when it comes to getting more people involved into music creation with Linux.

GustavoM, in do the Linux/other distros developers play videogames??
@GustavoM@lemmy.world avatar

That is like asking, “Do you think Linux devs make big phat poos every once in a while?”.

possiblylinux127, in A response to the "Boycott Wayland" article

Wayland works very well for me. I can’t say the same for X

KISSmyOS, (edited ) in wayland, not even once

Isn’t it weird what people get worked up about?
Just keep using X11 with twm, SysV init, LILO and Alsa on your 32bit BIOS IBM Thinkpad.
It all still works, and YOU can keep it maintained yourself, that’s the beauty of FOSS.

luthis, (edited ) in Why does the new version of Kubuntu take longer to start the wifi connection?

systemd-analyze plot > boottimes.svg

Open the SVG and have a look at what’s happening during boot.

journalctl -b will give you some more info too. If you’re using grub to boot (probably in /boot/grub/grub.cfg), you can change the loglevel and add the udev option to get a bunch more info. Helped me with a random issue recently. Here’s mine for an example:


<span style="color:#323232;">### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/10_linux ###
</span><span style="color:#323232;">menuentry 'Arch Linux' --class arch --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-simple-a96b3354-70dd-45ed-8c6c-95171e9f1e82' {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">	load_video
</span><span style="color:#323232;">	set gfxpayload=keep
</span><span style="color:#323232;">	insmod gzio
</span><span style="color:#323232;">	insmod part_gpt
</span><span style="color:#323232;">	insmod ext2
</span><span style="color:#323232;">	search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root a96b3354-70dd-45ed-8c6c-95171e9f1e82
</span><span style="color:#323232;">	echo	'Loading Linux linux ...'
</span><span style="color:#323232;">	linux	/boot/vmlinuz-linux root=UUID=a96b3354-70dd-45ed-8c6c-95171e9f1e82 rw  loglevel=3 udev.log-priority=debug 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">	echo	'Loading initial ramdisk ...'
</span><span style="color:#323232;">	initrd	/boot/amd-ucode.img /boot/initramfs-linux.img
</span><span style="color:#323232;">}
</span>
mnmalst,

FYI: /etc/grub.d/10_linux should not be edited directly for permanent changes since those changes get replaced when grub is updated.

Use /etc/default/grub for permanent changes.

luthis,

True, but for this purpose it’s totally fine.

There’s also a big disclaimer at the top of the file:

cat grub.cfg

DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE

It is automatically generated by grub-mkconfig using templates

from /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub

Wording could probably be less DOOM SHALL BEFALL YE, as long as you aren’t messing around and just adding logging it’s not an issue.

More info on grub here: wiki.archlinux.org/title/GRUB

mnmalst,

Indeed, just wanted to make sure people are aware. :)

Cheers

leo85811nardo,

If you know what you are doing, type “yes do as I say”

luthis,

That’s the best part about Linux. You’re allowed to do anything even when it’s definitely a bad idea.

TootSweet, in wayland, not even once

Imagine taking your unresolved childhood trauma out on Wayland.

And with a throwaway account no less.
