Liebe #dud 's und #did 's,

bitte installiert euch kein #Arch basiertes #Linux!
Das sind keine Linux Distributionen für Anfänger!

• hört euch in eurem Freundeskreis um was die benutzen, benutzt erstmal das selbe dann bekommt ihr schnelle Hilfe
• schaut mal ob es in eurer Stadt eine LUG (Linux User Gruppe) gibt
da gibt es Hilfe
• installiert euch nicht irgendein exotisches Linux
• nehmt ein gut abgehangenes weit verbreitetes Linux und keinen Exoten

🕶️ A new (with version 2025-02-03) ship model, belonging to the Natrix line by OPLI-Barnard Inc., presented in a large hangar. 📚️ Pioneer is a libre, multiplatform, single-player, open-world space simulation inspired by “Frontier: Elite II,” set in our galaxy in the 31st century, with millions of star systems to explore. Players can land on planets, pass through gas giants, and watch themselves burn up during a flight between binary star systems. They can choose to be a peaceful adventurer, a pirate, a bounty hunter, or a miner, and carry out all kinds of missions for various factions. It is a high-quality game developed by an army of talented people since 2009.

Been seeing some new #Distros pop up that have more or less identical websites and make more or less identical claims about their respective #Linux setup.

They all claim to want to excel in all areas, leverage the power of #Arch / the stability of #Debian / the adjective of underlying distro, etc. They all claim to have community or collaboration at their core. They all claim security by design, performance first, and on it goes.

All of them use the same website theme, varying only in complexity and color choices, not overall appearance.

So… stop that? If you look a little deeper, some of them are actually doing something kinda interesting — elaborate custom theming on Gnome, custom installers, unusual choice of shell with customizations, weird kernel options, optimizations, better language integration for one language or another…

But from their respective websites, they look like they're all the same thing.

Recently, I encountered a rather surreal situation on my #thinkpad Z16 AMD where my #arch #linux system running #gnome would no longer accept my #password. 😲

As I have since discovered, this was caused by pam_fprintd and a fingerprint authentication process that was repeatedly failing without me noticing. 🫣😅

After having to reboot several times into an #emergencytarget, I have now completely disabled the fingerprint sensor. 🙃

On the left of the UI several command buttons (Sleep, Pillage Pasture, Explore, Wait, ..), below the characteristics of the selected unit (Keshik, 2 stars, XP 5/20, ..), in the lower middle a box with what seems to be a report on the selected unit (Keshik vs Elephantine). To the right of the UI, a message area ("The resistance in Sydney has ended!", ..), lower right a mini map. At the top of the interface a hamburger menu, and near it the title "Mongolia". At the top middle several indicators, the period (1520 AD) and on the right an "Overview" button. 📚️ UnCiv is a libre, multi-platform, single-player / multi-player (by exchange of "User ID"), turn-based strategy game (4X) & Empire building, inspired by Civilization V: the game starts in 4000 BC Christ, the player directs a nation or an ethnic group, with the aim of supremacy over the other protagonists, leading his group until 2050 AD. It's a neat game that offers in-game help to get started, solo/multiplayer, map editor and game save / load. Very good!

The PAM Duress is a module designed to allow users to generate 'duress' passwords that when used in place of their normal password will execute arbitrary scripts.

This functionality could be used to allow someone pressed to give a password under coercion to provide a password that grants access but in the background runs scripts to clean up sensitive data, close connections to other networks to limit lateral movement, and/or to send off a notification or alert (potentially one with detailed information like location, visible wifi hot-spots, a picture from the camera, a link to a stream from the microphone, etc). You could even spawn a process to remove the pam_duress module so the threat actor won't be able to see if the duress module was available.

Archboot, a menu-driven Arch Linux installer, expands its desktop lineup by adding COSMIC.

Seit dem Update ignoriert #i3wm die eigenen "output" Restriktive. Im 2-Monitor Betrieb führt das nun dazu, dass auf beiden Bildschirmen sämtliche Tabs angezeigt werden, nicht mehr selektiv wie zuvor. Das ist reichlich unübersichtlich. Scheinbar bin ich der erste oder einzige, dem dies auffällt, denn bei den issues auf github findet sich dazu nichts. In den Release-Notes steht darüber ebenfalls nichts.

Ich überlege schon einige Zeit, ob ich nicht mal #wayland und #sway ausprobiere. Vielleicht ist das nun ein Zeichen?

Please recommend me a distro!

Long-time Debian Stable user here looking for something, preferably in the Debian family, that has faster updates and ships with KDE & systemd out of the box. Not Ubuntu. It's for a mid-tier laptop.

I could be persuaded to try something arch-based, or Fedora. Wary about NixOS.

Share with me your distro opinions, please!

What are the best #Arch #Linux spins right now?

Wondering when it is the best[1] time to test the #kernel to prevent #LinuxKernel regressions from hitting #Arch Linux, #Fedora Linux, or #openSUSE #Tumbleweed?

It's now, as the first pre-release of #Linux 6.19 is out – which leaves plenty of time to find, report, debug, and fix any problems that those distros otherwise will encounter when they switch to 6.19.y in about eight to ten weeks. And testing is not even hard, as easy-to-install packages with pre-built mainline kernels exist for all three distros[2].

In case you want to play it a bit safer, delay testing by one week till -rc2 is out – bugs that lead to data loss introduced before -rc1 are extremely rare but will almost certainly have been found and fixed by then.

Anything up to 6.19-rc6 (five weeks from now) is still okayish, but less ideal.

The sixth -rc is your last good chance to test. Linus by then wants all regressions that have become known since the beginning of the 6.19 cycle fixed – but in case some were missed or not reported yet, there is still enough time to report, debug, and fix them before they reach those distros.

Testing any later is often too late: most bugs then can't be fixed anymore before those distros will switch to the 6.19.y series, which will happen within one or two weeks (in the case of Arch and Tumbleweed) or three to four (Fedora) after 6.19 is released.

[1] "best" as in "best tradeoff between risk and impact"

Stop using #Ventoy, now !

A BLOB (Binary Large Object) is a data type used to store large binary data and is located within a program or library. It can be anything: dll, drivers /sys, plugins, firmware, multimedia, etc.

It is not readable, and for Ventoy whose source code is available as open source software, the use of BLOBs is quite suspicious

And do not use #iventoy (closed sources) at all

👀 Hot Take

An Operating System's job is to manage hardware resources and launch applications. When the OS begins injecting "recommended" content into the file explorer or start menu, it ceases to be an agent of the user and becomes an agent of the vendor.

Ok so...

I have a vps ovh with arch installed on it. Problem is : systemd freeze at startup and so the boot sequence fails. I can however still boot in rescue mode and try and fix things up.

I already installed linux-lts and I'm currently booting on it.

I can't find recent logs. Does anybody have a few pointer to help me fix this?

My best guess is the problem is somehow linked to systemd or a missing firmware package, but since I can't find the startup logs I don't know what to try.

🕶️ A view of its UI, with menus at the top and tablature on the rest of the screen. 📚️ TuxGuitar is a libre, multi-platform tool for editing and playing (via the FluidSynth software synthesizer) multi-track scores and tablatures (typically guitar). It supports import in PTB (PowerTab), GTP, GP3, GP4, GP5 and GPX (GuitarPro), MIDI and TEF (TablEdit) formats, and export in AU (Audio), WAV, AIF, LY (Lilypond, via a plugin), XML (MusicXML) and MIDI formats. It also supports automatic movement of the view while listening, the addition of effects (bend, slide, vibrato, hammer-on/pull-off), and skins.

Quelqu'un sait m'expliquer pourquoi #Arch est devenu si dominant dans le monde #Linux ? Genre comment c'est passé de « c'est une distrib un peu marginale pour les ultra-experts qui pète toutes les 2 semaines » à « la moitié des distribs les plus populaires sont basées dessus » ? 🤔

🕶️ A view of its IU (on a dark theme) with music playing. Instruments are displayed on the right, while on the left is the piano, and in the center the notes played as bars. 📚️ FamiStudio is a libre, multi-platform tracker that's both powerful and simple/ergonomic. Designed to be easier to use than FamiTracker, its functionalities are nevertheless more limited. It is aimed at both chiptune artists and NES homebrewers. Initially designed for the Nintendo Entertainment System or Famicom, it can also be used for Linux and supports various import/export formats. It features a modern DAW-style interface with sequencer and piano roll.

Does anyone know of a particular #Arch distro that uses #gnome by default, so I can test my gnome app ?

And not omarchy because I can not set it up correctly in my virtual machine

#buildInPublic

"that escalated quickly..."

in willing deleting some nix user (why nix create so many user?) he have delete all user but 5 ....
broke pacman (pacman need alpm user for sandboxing) and so sddm but hypr was still working when launched on tty.

i did do some quick linux magic (involving google, using help and reading configuration file) and now it's seems to be working.

but i think he will find other way to break linux. kudo to the arch team : with almost no user, the laptop still workish !

stay tuned for more news!

#arch #linux #NoobAdventureinArchLinux

he choose by following some YouTube howto maybe not the most adviced choice (but he keep this way)

I call this "Linux by the north path..."

#linux #arch #nix #hyprland

he does it, not because it's easy, but because it's difficult!
