🕶️ A side view in which Tux is standing on a pipe waiting for one of Nolok's henchmen to jump over him (or on top of him to crush him), and other henchmen are on the right of the screen, all on a platform overlooking the water, with a mountainous background. 📚️ SuperTux is a libre and multi-platform jump 'n run featuring Tux the penguin, mainly on the pack ice, but also in the woods or caves. In story mode Tux travels on many places to try to rescue Penny, his beloved, kidnapped by Nolok, his sworn enemy, seconded by his minions. Many other maps designed by its users via the integrated editor and downloadable from the interface can be played independently. It is a very neat game with many accessories, bonuses, and enemies, different soundtracks and supporting recent equipment. Excellent!

Arch Linux has confirmed an active DDoS attack during Christmas, with IPv4 access to its website unavailable.

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?

Which CLI text editor do you use? If you don't use Nano, Vim, or Emacs, what do yo use?

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

👀 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 a game in progress, where a camp in the middle of the desert is under enemy attack (an explosion is in progress). The units are very small. A mini-map is displayed at top right. 📚️ Dune 2: The Building of a Dynasty is one of the first RTS in gaming history (released in 1992), based on the novel "Dune" by Frank Herbert (US). It takes place on the desert planet of Arrakis, nicknamed Dune, the only planet in the universe where spice is harvested, a drug that increases the cognitive abilities of humans used for space travel. The game features the struggle of 3 dynasties (Atreides, Harkonnen & Ordos) for control of the spice. Dune Legacy is a libre, compatible and enhanced engine (modern hardware support, multi-platform, single-player / multi-player, multiple unit selection, right-click, ...).

Taken abstractly, nix is a build system. Nixpkgs has arch-install-scripts and debootstrap. Using these tools, it is possible to build a rootfs that can be turned into an installable iso. It follows therefore, that nix could be used to build and manage highly custom builds of upstream distros like Debian and Arch without actually booting into a VM in order to do it.

In this regard, Linux is a snake eating its own tail, but I wonder if this could be used for something besides just as a curiosity.

I imagine there's some gremlins in there to be found. But it could be cool to use nix to just spawn preconfigured distros that aren't even NixOS.

Hi #Linux, ever heard of https://paldo.org?

paldo is a Upkg driven GNU/Linux distribution. It's kind of a mix of a source and a binary distribution. Even though it builds packages like a source distribution it provides binary packages.

https://www.paldo.org/index-section-support-page-install.html

paldo stands for "pure adaptable linux distribution" and they try to accomplish this in every package.

The top section shows Jeremy Clarkson, with a text above him reading "WINDOWS 10 EOL" (End of Life) and the phrase "OH NO!" He has a concerned expression on his face. Various Windows-related logos surround the top part of the image. In the bottom section, Clarkson's expression shifts to a more neutral one, with a caption reading "ANYWAY." A wide array of Linux distribution logos, such as Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, Tux (the Linux mascot), and others, surround him, symbolizing the multitude of alternative operating systems available after the end of support for Windows 10.

Some of these linux distros absolutely need better marketing and information presentation! There are kickass features I discover in some of these that has me like, "why wasn't this obvious or prominently highlighted before this is awesome!"

🕶️ 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 » ? 🤔

🕶️ An aerial view of a camp on a plain protected for the most part (notably its power plant) by a semi-transparent anti-missile dome. On the ground, combat units are moving away to the east, and in the air, a ship is approaching from the northeast. Numerous ground-to-ground and ground-to-air cannons surround the camp. 📚️ Zero-K is a (partially, see Wikipedia for the sound: CC BY-NC-ND) libre, multi-platform, single-player / multi-player RTS game with a sci-fi theme, a simple economy based on metal & energy, and featuring classic gameplay (4X for map supremacy) or tower defense (vs. increasingly powerful waves of monsters). The player starts with a mecha, extracts resources, builds his army and faces adversity on land, air & sea. A mature game designed by and for gamers, with 70+ missions, 100+ units, a clear interface, and an accomplished lobby client (solo/multi up to 32 players, co-op vs. other players and/or AIs, PVP, campaigns, content & player rating, content loading, fine tuning, ...). Fantastic!

I installed Arch Linux onto a 128 GB USB stick. You may think "So, what?" but this has been incredibly useful.

I can use this system to do all sorts of data migration shenanigans and it will remember all my settings. Whenever I need access to the data on a different machine, I just plug it in.

Everyone should have one. 💾

Its interface provides all the tools needed to create low-poly models, such as cuboids, mesh modelling tools for complex shapes, texture design and painting to dress them up, and animation (its animation editor lets you rig a model (create its skeleton) and use position, rotation and scale keyframes to bring it to life. Models can be exported in standardised formats for sharing, rendering, 3D printing or use in game engines. Its interface can be customised and enhanced using plugins.

I freaking hate #Arch #Linux.

I just updated #CachyOS (with Arch updates), and now no apps load. #Gnome loads, but Terminal, Gedit etc don't load.

That has been my experience with Arch & Arch-based distros: every few weeks, you gotta deal with unforeseen problems.

That's why I prefer Linux #Mint. It just works. I don't spend time dealing with things I should NOT be dealing with. If I want a rolling release, there's Debian-Testing which is very stable.

"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!

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