You're trying to discern a fine line while walking a wide street. The whole point of openbsd security is the
limited software and code auditing required to guarantee security.

Kdenlive is a KDE program so as usual it brings in a bunch of KDE dependencies if you want to install it if
you aren't already using Plasma 5. Using the Flatpak version would mean not having to worry about shit
like that besides the shit the Flatpak itself needs to download alongside Kdenlive itself.

>>92018558
Yes and possibly more focused dependency resolution. A lot of binary package managers include every
compilation flag enabled, which means they were compiled with support for a lot of other things (like
perhaps kwallet) and may complain that the library it was compiled to use is not available. The
maintainers of the binary don't know what you intend to use KDE elements for, but they provide as much
interoperability as possible with the software they have chosen to maintain.
For this case maybe a flatpack is best.

You should enable Secure Boot, but beware that some kernel module (Nvidia, VirtualBox) needs to be
signed with a MOK or it won't be loaded when Secure Boot is enabled.
This is done automatically when you already have Secure Boot enabled, but enabling it afterwards may
require reinstalling the driver, which is done in System Settings -> Driver Manager.

what exactly causes linux to boot slowly for me? I'm not trying to be a windows shill but historically, w10
has always booted incredibly quickly for me on both hdd and ssd
my windows installation is like 4 years old on a 4 year old mx500. my linux one on a 9 momth old mx500
and it takes maybe an extra ~6 seconds on the black screen while booting
once both are booted they're both similarly snappy/fast, the only difference I notice is during boot. is there
anything I can do about this or should I just suck it up?

I prefer the way that XFCE and MATE look (classic themes) I like the lightweightness of XFCE and MATE.
I dislike GTK for being too near to GNOME.
I like Plasma because of its features, I like QT a bit more than GTK but I also dislike Plasma for almost
always looking modern and also being more heavy in resource usage.
What should I do now?

You can run which may show you what process is taking
longer at boot.
Disabling CPU mitigations in Linux kernel options can also sometimes give a general

The point of SB is guaranteeing you only ever load signed code in kernel space. That coverage doesn't
end because you loaded a new driver after the initrd chroot.

Sorry to say that not much has changed.

Your best bet would probably be to run Plasma, and strip it down/disable the parts you don't want. Plasma
definitely doesn't need to look "modern", you can theme it to look however you want.

Secure Boot is not a step, it's a continuous guarantee – if every link in the chain only executes signed
code then there is no opportunity for unsigned code to run.
Security is a process that extends from hardware (GPU not accepting unsigned firmware) up to network
communication (intranet website refusing to load on an untrusted device).

Yeah I think it's called fast startup or "hybrid boot" officially. It basically unloads everything but the NT
kernel and keeps it in a file on the C:\ drive so when you turn the computer back on the kernel is already
loaded and ready to go so everything loads super quickly.

It's not "schizos" systemd is a naive millennial attempt at "modernizing" linux that throws away decades of
solid sensible design principles. But retards like >>92022832 are unable to understand this because
they've been masturbating to tiktok for far too long and will simply screech if gimmick of the month (tm)
isn't quickly delivered to them regardless of its merits.
The result has been a steady erosion of freedom, the continued encroachment of harmful corporate
practices on the open source world, and a devolvement in good development practices that is slowly but
surely turning linux into an undebuggable mess.
Then even tried to take out Stallman and Linus with smear campaigns.

Performance blows and file permissions are weird. The latter causes breakage in some cases, esp going

>hardware, service provider, and infrastructure
Using hardware vulns for surveillance capitalism purposes is super illegal and basically never done.
Service provider / infrastructure can only see what IPs you connect to. Which isn't a lot of information
given everyone uses the same handful of companies. Not being able to control your OS is a huge privacy
issue because it de-silos all your financial / medical / criminal / social info in one source. It's not
Microsoft's information; they dgaf. They outsource everything they can to India and Africa where the locals

 Well, I managed to get KDE Plasma 5.24 on Arch successfully through ALA, though it was much more of a
headache than I thought it would be. At least, as far as I can tell, it really has helped with the flickering
problem I had earlier

But yeah, it seems the only way I got through was by disabling signature checking. Otherwise I keep getting
blocked by invalid or "marginal" signatures", whether I have actually the latest archlinux-keyring packages or
the "latest" as of the ALA snapshot I'm drawing from (03/03/2022)

I just switched from Debian to NixOS. My mouse is now acting weird. Been using xfce4 on both, and with
NixOS, if I move my mouse, then click and hold at the same time, the click reacts late.
As in:
>Position mouse above title bar of window
>Start moving towards another window's title bar
>At the end (while still above first window) click and hold
>Click only registers at second window and starts moving it
Any ideas how to debug this? I tried another mouse already, but it did the same.

Hello, new linux user here and also ABSURDLY inept when it comes to computers.
Chose Fedora workstation.

I'm trying to teach myself how to do this whole nvidia drivers thing for Steam games,
without much success, but I don't want to bother you guys with dumb and probably
repeated questions, so I'd just like some confirmation on whether I'm using this
rollback stuff correctly or not so I can experiment by msyelf.

>Game tells me I need vulkan and that comes with nvidia drivers
>Follow instructions to do this on terminal
>Get it done, game still tells me to fuck off, but now I've also completely lost internet connection
>Search for way to do rollback, get told to use

dnf history rollback <number>

>Do so to go back before I did the nvidia stuff

>Terminal says it can't be done, I wish I recalled the exact wording, or made a screenshot, but I hadn't
thought to ask here

So rather than continue fucking up without knowing if I could fix it, I chose to just go with a fresh install of
the OS. As I'd prefer not having to repeat the install AGAIN, please tell me if the aforementioned rollback
command is the proper way and how not to fuck it up. I promise I'm trying to learn by myself and I'll use
the resources in OP, but I'd like this security net.
 Incidentally the game I was trying to play straight up told me my distro wasn't supported. Was Fedora a
mistake? Am I just hopeless and should go back to the toxic embrace of windows?

What instructions? The GNOME Software GUI can do this for you.
>dnf history rollback <number>
That rolls back the package manager state if the old packages are available, not the system state. Stock
Fedora doesn't provide system-wide rollback.

The first step after a Fedora install is go to rpmfusion.net and add all the repos. Everything you need to
get Steam and nVidia drivers running should be provided by the package manager / software center GUI.

Just don't install things outside of package management if you don't know what you're doing. It's a
common problem people have coming from Windows. Linux doesn't have uniform system config / ABI
across distros, so you can't just download "Linux" software direct from vendors and blindly expect it to
work.

Do any of you use Homebrew on Linux?

I have Ubuntu LTS so I don't have to update the OS that often, but it comes with
pretty outdated packages. Homebrew has up to date packages, and they're all
binaries which is pretty cool, so I don't need to waste my time with compiling stuff.

Perhaps some people will recommend using PPAs for up-to-date binaries for
Ubuntu. But then I have to go and hunt a PPA for each package I want, and how do I
know I can trust these PPAs? I think Homebrew is pretty trustworthy, it's a big project.

Thoughts?

I looked up distrobox, it seems to be for running different distros inside containers?

I'm just looking to install packages though. Maybe I should try Homebrew on Linux if I can be bothered. I
installed pyenv so I could get the latest version of Python, but I think it then built the latest Python from
source, which is probably why it took so long and my CPU started melting. Homebrew has binaries so I
could have just installed the Python 3.11 binary I think. So the next time I need a new version of
something maybe i'll try Homebrew, if I can be bothered to install it.

Thank you for your suggestion of distrobox but yeah I'm not sure it's what I'm looking for at the moment...
but maybe one day I will need something like that, so thanks.

Do some of you use Twitch with dmenu (or bemenu, or xmenu etc.) and can also map followed channels
(offline in a txt file) and search them? I'm looking something like wtwitch but I could press <shortcut1> to
search Twitch channels and <shortcut2> to see who is online or offline in my following.txt file. Then I could
also press <shortcut3> to search channels, select one and select one VOD from list.

I can do everything already with wtwitch, but I can't use it with dmenu and I'm forced to open terminal and
then use my bash aliases to use that. There is some scripts to do something but most of them are
incomplete or don't do everything.

95% of my vidya runs on Linux and I only want Windows for the 5% that don't, so I'm trying to decide
whether I should change from dual booting to a VM with gpu passthrough or not (getting new drives so I'm
going to be reinstalling everything anyway).

But I'm a bit confused, what gpu does Linux actually use by default when you follow the steps to make a
windows VM with gpu passthrough? Say I've got an igpu and then a main gpu, when Linux boots will it be
using the main gpu until the VM is launched and then changes to using the igpu, or will it just be using the
igpu the whole time even when the VM is off?

Yeah. The correct way to handle pretty much any binary distro is add repositories to your high level
package manager and install software with that. Manually downloading and installing packages is almost
always wrong. Barring odd niche items like drivers for strange printers or crypto wallets. In those cases
you install them using the highest level tool possible, dnf, apt, or whatever. Never run rpm -i or dpkg -i

Fedora has an official copr for PyCharm that's available in the software store, and nVidia drivers are in
rpmfusion.

Because the files in /etc are not that difficult to deal with. You can template files with Ansible if you wanted

Nobara is a good one. Basically if Fedora had a Mint-style fork geared for gaming and content creation
first and foremost. Also uses Calamares to install instead of Anaconda, so that's a big plus.
Otherwise distros like Arch and Gentoo that get graphic driver updates faster then others is what you
want.

I had this script bound to Super+T that used to work but broke for some reason, maybe related to a
GNOME update?
Its purpose is to either spawn a terminal if there's none or focus a terminal if there's one. Before, I had to
always spawn a new terminal but after a while end up with tens of terminals open. I couldn't reproduce
this behavior using normal GNOME settings so I had to script this.
D=`xdotool get_desktop`
A=`xdotool search --limit 1 --class 'Gnome-Terminal$'`
if [ ! -z "$A" ]
then
xdotool set_desktop_for_window $A $D
xdotool windowfocus --sync $A
xdotool windowactivate --sync $A
else
gnome-terminal
fi

But now it fails with this error on the windowfocus line

X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
Major opcode of failed request: 42 (X_SetInputFocus)
Serial number of failed request: 18
Current serial number in output stream: 19

Any clue or alternative?

You're bypassing GNOME to move a window with xdotool, doesn't this defeat the purpose of using
GNOME?
On KDE one would accomplish this by scripting KWin, so I think you should look into something similar for
GNOME, perhaps their compositor has a DBus interface you can use.

>You're bypassing GNOME to move a window with xdotool
I'm not really familiar with the whole architecture, isn't X11 a windowing system? Why is gnome using X11
if it's handling the windows itself?
>doesn't this defeat the purpose of using GNOME?
i dunno i just want my terminal without having to move view and opening a new one window every time I
need one or sifting through my open windows to find my terminal
>I think you should look into something similar for GNOME, perhaps their compositor has a DBus

 apparently it's called mutter, I'll look into it, thanks.
But it's probably not going to be as convenient as xdotool and a shell script

Building my own kernel on Gentoo honestly fucking broke me.

I'm awake for over 50 hours already after spending some afternoons searching what I should be adding or
removing.
Took until now to boot to tty and startx doesn't fucking work. Idk if it's the drivers if I fucked the kernel I
don't fucking know.
I'm not that retarded, using the pre-built kernel and using gentoo is fine but doing the kernel by myself is
so much fucking work and I don't even know if there's any payoff. Should I do the reverse, install the pre-
 built kernel and remove unneeded features, now that I have a shallow understanding of the kernel functions?
Should I just fuck off and admit that I'm a fucking brainlet failure? I don't know.

idk about categories but what i know you can do is:
you can drag&drop icons to change the order.
if you drop one icon over another it will create folder-like object that you can use as a category. just like on

One reason is if you want to try it out before getting the full system. To get acquainted with it (it won't
conflict with your other package manager, so although you will have redundant libraries it won't break
anything).
Also for deploying software on other machines. For example I configured a web server for guix and then
wanted to host it, so I just got a VPS that had CentOS and put guix on top of it which could then run my
server configuration.

But I also don't recommend making multiple package managers a normal thing. The idea situation is
always to have a single one.

99% of the stuff will work fine, but then if you're still gonna boot into Windows for that 1% that just won't

I'm bothered by how far apart the letter spacing is, but I'm stumped on how to fix it. I
tried putting lineSpacing, lineSpace, maybe fontSpace and a few other things.

Am I stuck with this? Is there something I'm missing? Alternatively, what's another
good font I can use?

Hi, so I own pic related and have enabled drivers in the kernel - super easy. Just one
thing - I have two choices (among a few redundant ones)

>Digital Stereo Duplex (IEC958)

and

>Analog Stereo Duplex

They both sound the same with minor differences, but with an external DAC like a Focusrite Scarlett should I
just stick with Digital Stereo Duplex? KDE depreciated pavucontrol as its baked into the DE now so I can
switch freely but as far as Linux audio optimization goes what would be the correct profile?

Hi,
 I'm getting "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" error recently when using FFmpeg. I just update my Arch.
This only happens when encoding x265 via hardware (hevc_nvenc), no matter what options I used.
Everything else is fine, even h264_nvenc.

I'm unsure where the error is coming. Maybe isn't a FFmpeg issue. I can't rollback to ffmpeg 5.x because I
don't have that package.

You could always use one of those custom 10 ISOs that remove telemetry completely from the system to
have all the Windows compat and none of the gaff. Something like AtlasOS, which is an open source one.

It's one of many, though Atlas is the only open source one. Another one that is pretty good is ReviOS.
All these custom ISOs have carving out the telemetry shit as the main thing in common.

I'll be getting my NVME really soon and I really don't want to reinstall my shit.
I was thinking about partitioning the same way as the sata (boot swap root), copy each partition from the

Would that work?

I appreciate what you're saying, but there's gotta be a way to do it from bash. I don't feel like swapping the
fan because I don't use the laptop enough. It's almost 15 years old. I only still have it because it has a
bunch of data, and that laptop got me through college.

You might be able to do it with fancontrol but a lot of fans aren't controlled by Linux they're controlled by
the motherboard (based on temperatures or a custom curve, etc)

time to learn how to use it. It does everything you could need it to do.

I can't imagine why anyone would want a GUI unless you use GNOME (Celluloid integrates a bit better
