I expected this to be âanother one of thoseâ but actually from what my instance has about you, you were indeed correct. Gaming distros with exclusive features lmao.
IMO thatâs some of the gamer logic bleeding over in the Linux side, now that Linux gaming is taking off. Theyâll do anything including install dubious Linux distros barely hanging together with duct tape for a perceived extra 2 FPS. Download software exclusively distributed on Discord? Hell yeah. Iâm sure at least one of them boots with mitigations=off and itâs not clearly indicated that it does.
Weâre seeing the same thing on the Windows side with modified Windows ISOs like the whole AtlasOS, that rightfully made some security experts sound the alarm. Some did things like completely strip off the updates, antivirus and firewall. Unless your system is exclusively running Steam and firewalled off the network, this is a certified bad idea.
Iâd probably trust Nobara because the guy clearly knows his shit, but some of them really are just some other guyâs riced up Arch snapshot. They may give the impression everything just works at first but Iâve definitely seen examples of it falling apart. Even bigger distros like Pop_OS! had major snafus like the whole Steam uninstalls your DE thing, and Manjaro still fucks up something basic every now and then. I tried some of them in a VM and they didnât even install or boot correctly. Oh my fault that one only works for NVIDIA graphics cards not AMD, my bad.
Itâs not worth arguing, itâs a user base with vastly different goals than I do, just let them have their Bedrock Linux completely blow up in multi package manager hell and soon enough theyâll come running for a saner more reliable distro.
You shouldnât need sudo for this. Whatâs probably happening is the Makefile you end up running doesnât do what you think it does at all and ends up clearing header files to rebuild them then dies.
Removing sudo will at least give you an indication of whatâs going on by the means of permission errors. Find out why itâs trying to modify files it shouldnât. And itâs also a great example of why you shouldnât compile anything as root, not even for building packages. Not even building kernel modules requires root, only installing them and loading them.
Alright, I'm gonna "take one for the team" -- what is with the "downvote-happy" users lately?
