KISSmyOS, 6 months ago (edited 6 months ago) to linux in How to solve this boot error message?

In the grub menu, choose advanced options and then choose an older kernel to boot into.
If that boots fine, remove and reinstall the newest installed kernel and run sudo update-grub.
That should be the easiest way to fix the most possible causes of this error.

Edit: Now would be a very good time to back up all your data to an external drive. This might be a sign of your hard drive failing.

Yeah OK, but only in one of these trucks can I safely text and drive.

KISSmyOS, 7 months ago (edited 6 months ago) to linux in What distro would you recommend for a 32-bit old Acer One laptop?

The only distro I could get to boot on my old Acer One was MX Linux.
It had the rare combination of 32bit UEFI support (cause the Acer supports neither 64bit UEFI nor legacy BIOS) and the necessary firmware out of the box.

But after upgrading it to the current release, it broke again. And then I threw the netbook away cause I have better things to do with my time.

Fedora. It is the flagship distro for Gnome, and Gnome is the best desktop for tablets and convertibles.

Just read the Wiki!

KISSmyOS, 7 months ago (edited 7 months ago) to linux in Need some help with a Kali linux

First, make sure your VM has access to the internet, for example with ping 8.8.8.8
Then do sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

The file should include a line that is exactly this:
deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
(or it could have kali-last-snapshot in place of kali-rolling)
If not, replace everything in the file with the line above and save the file with Ctrl+O, then close the editor with Ctrl+X
Then run:

<span style="color:#323232;">sudo apt update   
</span><span style="color:#323232;">sudo apt dist-upgrade   
</span><span style="color:#323232;">sudo apt install hcxtools
</span>

KISSmyOS, 7 months ago to linux in Arch or NixOS?

“Stability” is probably the most mis-used word in the Linux world.
It means that how your system looks and behaves doesn’t change, which is really important for servers, especially in business, where you want to plan any change in advance before you commit to it.
Arch is not stable in this sense. It constantly changes, and those changes can come up on short notice with any upgrade.

But when people read that Arch isn’t stable, they think the system can break at any time.
I’d say this hasn’t been the case for at least 10 years now. If you RTFN (read the fucking news) and use the AUR sensibly, Arch has become a really boring system, regarding breakage.

KISSmyOS, 7 months ago to linuxmemes in Accurate?

Arch has been more of a “just works” distro for me than OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, Debian and Fedora.
Arch Installation nowadays goes like this:

<span style="color:#323232;">iwctl  
</span><span style="color:#323232;">device list  
</span><span style="color:#323232;">station *device* scan  
</span><span style="color:#323232;">station *device* get-networks  
</span><span style="color:#323232;">station *device* connect *SSID*  
</span><span style="color:#323232;">archinstall
</span>

And you only need the first 5 lines if you’re installing from wifi.

I’ll take a foldable solar panel, a tablet PC with its entire storage full of porn, and the dog.
Everything else I need I’ll trade in exchange for a half hour in my dog-guarded porn booth.
