throwawayish, (edited ) in Working instructions for OpenRazer on Fedora Silverblue?

It seems as if the uBlue images ship the required OpenRazer kmod by default. Therefore, I would suggest you to take a look at those. You still need to follow some additional steps though 😅. Which might not be very intuitive… Thus, I propose the following: if you’ll rebase to uBlue, you might as well rebase to Bazzite. After the rebase has been completed, the (post-)installation software should already give you the option (it’s just a simple toggle) to install OpenRazer. The toggle is clearly visible in this frame.

If you perceive Bazzite as too opinionated for your taste, then perhaps you might opt to the following instead:


<span style="color:#323232;">install-openrazer:
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    sudo wget https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/hardware:/razer/Fedora_$(rpm -E %fedora)/hardware:razer.repo -O /etc/yum.repos.d/hardware:razer.repo && 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    ublue-update --wait && 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    rpm-ostree install -y openrazer-meta razergenie && 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    if ! grep -q "plugdev" /etc/group; then 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      sudo bash -c 'grep "plugdev" /lib/group >> /etc/group' 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    ; fi && 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    sudo usermod -a -G plugdev $USER && 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    echo "Please reboot to apply needed changes."
</span>

Which should be the just-entry (and thus responsible) for whatever happens after the toggle is enabled*.

thayer,

That’s good to know, thanks! I’m quite content with vanilla Silverblue, but I’ll take a look at their build files and see how they’re pulling it off.

throwawayish,

Aight. I’ve changed the comment a bit 😅 since. Perhaps it’s more useful for you now 😉.

I wanted to make the same suggestion with uBlue. There’s also the silverblue-main image, which is very vanilla and the one I use. The kmod is already pre-installed there.

Bazzite can also be great, but it’s too opinionated for my taste. I like Silverblue also more like the devs intended.

PanArab, in Some of y'all need to see this and drop the superiority complex...

That’s nothing! Darwin is on version 23.

NotATurtle, in Could we add "Distrochooser" to the sidebar?

It recommends obviously wrong choices like Tails

onlinepersona,

wat? got a screenshot or a link to the result?

onlinepersona,

No matter what I choose, I have to scroll literally to at least half or the end of the page to see Tails. Congrats on finding it in the list, I guess?

ursakhiin,

I just took it favoring a daily driver for gaming and every distro it gave had either didn’t work, isn’t optimized for, or requires additional config for gaming.

YawnTor, in What's your experiences with Debian and Rocky as a homeserver OS?
@YawnTor@infosec.pub avatar

I have a home lab consisting of 9 mini PCs running Docker Swarm. They’re from various manufacturers, Intel, ASRock, Minisforum, etc. I originally tried to use Debian to build out the environment but it couldn’t find the network interfaces, or storage, or whatever else. So I made a Rocky 9 install drive and tried that. Every machine came up with all hardware recognized on the first try. So, that’s what I’ve been running for just about two years now. No complaints.

PrivateNoob,

Good to hear that. How many containers do you run if you need 9 mini PCs for those?

YawnTor,

I use three systems for manager nodes so they don’t get much work. Mostly Traefik and a few other administrative services. I have about 80 containers running on the six worker nodes.

feef, (edited ) in When Windows 10 dies, I am going to jump ship over to Linux. Which version would you recommend for someone with zero prior experience with Linux? **Edit: Linux Mint it shall be.**

I’d say go with kde as you DE. Personally I like opensuse tumbleweed.

Opensuse gives a lot of „windows like“ features like control panel etc.

Wow.! A graph and everything.

qyron, in What's your current favorite distro that isn't Arch, Debian or Fedora?

Tiny Core OS, because I want a super light distro to run from memory when trying to access computers where the data is still there but something went sour with the OS

lemmytellyousomething, in When Windows 10 dies, I am going to jump ship over to Linux. Which version would you recommend for someone with zero prior experience with Linux? **Edit: Linux Mint it shall be.**

There are lots of tutorials for something like Debian or Ubuntu…

Before you leave W10, install it in a VM or dual boot so you can test it/get used to the interface

What games do you play?

18107,

Start today. Download VirtualBox (or equivalent software) and if you make a mistake, you can just nuke the OS and start over without risk.

WitchHazel, in Easy way to try out a bunch of different DEs?

If the only thing you need to do is test out the different DEs, you should be able to just install each one and use something like lightdm to easily switch between them upon logging out.

I never understood the Wayland hate until I tried to get it working with KDE Plasma on a Orange Pi.

AceFuzzLord, in What's your current favorite distro that isn't Arch, Debian or Fedora?

On the laptop I got less than a week ago for college, I’ve been having fun using Mx with KDE. It’s been pretty good so far on my galaxy book.

Zorin is designed with windows users in mind. It’s very polished and it helped me make the transition.
