someonesmall,

Photoprism is working great for me.

someonesmall,

Can you elaborate what didn’t work on Manjaro? Just curious, I’ve been using it on my gaming rig for over 5 years without problems.

someonesmall,

Thank you for explaining and sharing your journey.

Regarding 1: A system not booting anymore really is a major issue. Maybe I was lucky to not have encountered that, maybe didn’t happen because I use a custom kernel. Regarding the certs: Honestly I don’t really care about the Manjaro website. The certs of the package repositories are important to me though.

Regarding 2: I’m using the AUR to install some third-party applications like “gpu-screen-recorder”. If you use it for system packages it will cause problems, because the Manjaro repos are delayed on purpose. One would encounter the same problem when using Debian stable and installing system stuff from a PPA.

someonesmall,

Salty arch users downvoting… smh

someonesmall,

I love Debian, but isn’t testing frozen for some time before the release of the next stable? I think during the freeze you won’t even get security updates.

someonesmall,

sounds reasonable to me /s

someonesmall,

The cp command will write the ISO file directly onto the device. This is the official way that is recommended by Debian:

cp debian.iso /dev/sdX

Source: www.debian.org/releases/stable/…/ch04s03.en.html

someonesmall,

If you’re already on linux there is no need to install special tools. Simply copy the iso directly to the USB device.

dd if=distribution.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=1M && sync

someonesmall,

Using a de-bloated Ubuntu reminds me of my time on Windows - had to use a bunch of tools to disable all kind of sh*t. Not doing this again, Ubuntu will never be a choice for me.

someonesmall,

I’ll translate “almost snap free” for you: It’s still using snap for some stuff that wouldn’t work without snap. Avoid Ubuntu.

New to Linux—Epic Games compatibility? (Plus more)

I’m thinking of installing Linux (think I’m going to use Nobara) on my new budget gaming PC, and my biggest worry is video games compatibility. I have most of my games on Steam and Epic. Some on GOG, and some on Itch. I know a bit about steam compatibility, but not much about the rest. Is this something I need to worry...

someonesmall,

I’'m using Lutris to play games on Epic:

  • Create a new wine/proton prefix
  • Put the epic launcher installer on C:, set it as the exe to run in the Lutris settings, run it and install.
  • Change the executable to the exe of the installed epic launcher. Run the launcher, install and play your game.

I’m using a separate wine/proton prefix for each game. This allows to appy custom proton settings and workarounds per game. The epic launcher is about 250mb so it doesn’t waste that much disk space.

Planning on moving over from Windows 10 to Linux for my Personal Work Station. Can't decide which OS I should switch to.

Windows has been a thorn in my side for years. But ever since I started moved to Linux on my Laptop and swapping my professional software to a cross platform alternative, I’ve been dreaming on removing it from my SSD....

someonesmall,

The hate is not justified IMHO. I’ve used Manjaro for 5 years now and never had any problems. It just works.

someonesmall,

Can you provide a source about when and what package was broken?

someonesmall,

I’m asking because I’ve used Manjaro for the last 5 years without problems. I think a lot of arguements against Manjaro here are just based on “that’s what I’ve read somewhere”.

Any news on Cinnamon DE?

With all the news surrounding KDE Plasma 6, I’m wondering if there has been any interesting news about the Cinnamon DE. This is my preferred DE and what I’m currently using on Arch. Last we heard, Cinnamon moved to Version 6 on Linux Mint, and that version comes with an experimental Wayland setup. Since then, I haven’t...

someonesmall,

LMDE is Debian with Cinnamon (including the xapps). If you use LMDE with KDE you are basically using plain debian (except for some weirdly replaced packages like “adduser” and libpolkit).

someonesmall,

It highly depends on your requirements.

someonesmall,

No, its based on Debian 12 (bookworm)

someonesmall,

Why would a package called “masterpdfcreator” overwrite the x conf? I don’t think the AUR packages have anything to do with the problem.

someonesmall,

Don’t use startx to start X, use the display manager: systemctl restart lightdm

someonesmall,

Been using xfce for over 10 years and never had gtk/libadwaita issues.

someonesmall,

Why? Just why?

LMDE just rocks (lemmy.ml)

I have been testing for a few weeks Mint, originally started on 21.2 on an old 2012 MacBook Air… the OS was flying! As I was looking at this now 10 years old machine, now back to usable speed again I was pleasantly surprised. On my desktop was still running Fedora that is just a bit more shiny and has the latest “stable”...

someonesmall,

Install the backport kernel. Use flatpak for gaming (latest mesa) and the applications you want the latest version. Perfect combination between stable and latest updates.

someonesmall,

It’s not rolling, but you will automatically receive cinnamon updates over the mint repository. For gaming and latest software you can use flatpak.

someonesmall,

woops, jep not an option

someonesmall,

I appreciate you sticking to your word, but this is just stupid. Petition to change it to something sane
