The Linux Thread - The Autist's OS of Choice

[Another Char Clone]

I want signed, read-only root images because it means SecureBoot compatibility and more security.

My guy, I have done squashfs + overlay with EFI secure boot over the iscsi boot just fine with busybox. None of this is new.

What Linux distro is specifically supported and updated through the power of Racism, Misogyny, and Transphobia?

How about Apartheid Linux?

How about Apartheid Linux?

the "National Socialist kernels" comment gave me a hearty chuckle.

I've seen troons use pretty much every distro from the obvious ones like Ubuntu, Fedora, and Debian, to Arch and Gentoo for the memes, even NixOS and Void, but never in my life have I seen a troon use Slackware. I guess Patrick Volkerding and @Sperg Coalition win this round. If you want something more bleeding edge, then try Artix.

God damn, I hardly lurk the Artix Fourms outside of trying to find fixes for shit breaking, but that coming from an actual developer of the distro makes me wonder how "based" him and the other devs besides the times they are forced to confront something like that on thier fourms.

The artix people are pretty based. There's a couple other comments from different staff along the lines of 'this is an operating system, not a place for politics' and 'wikipedo is leftist indoctrination'. It's no coincidence they're one of the best distros.

the most based distro is a bash script you wrote that grabs all the software you like and then compiles it in a chroot

You sort of just described Docker

no docker requires a layer of software that is not bash or a chroot, which is haram

im talking about LFS with a couple of extra steps

If you haven't written (and open sourced) alternative firmware for the hardware you use, I'm not even sure why you post in ths thread tbh

How does it prevent the compromised snapshot from just mangling the btrfs snapshots?

The only binary allowed to touch them is transactional-update (which is enforced via SELinux.)

If someone's sitting there in a ssh prompt with root access you're fucked anyway. This is more about cutting off as many easy attack vectors as possible.

-snip-

Slackware truly is the ultimate distro and if you want bleeding edge, just point to the -current branch of Slackware.
Completely unrelated: I hate gnome keyring and chromium's reliance on it for passwords, GTK and GNOME related software are absolute dogass.

chromium

what did you think was going to happen? NOT pulling in 50000 stupid dependencies?

True, I guess that I expected too much from Google. Pro tip for everyone: just use KeepassXC with the browser extension for web integration. It's cross platform and it actually works.

Heartwarming: ReiserFS author and convicted murderer has requested one last commit before the removal of his file system in Linux 6.10.

Basically, he only asked to credit a few ommited contributors as his last act of kindness. Good for him, I guess.

I finally had a NVME drive shit out on me, so lost my arch install minus data that was backed up. Installed Void Linux and have been running it the last few days, very happy so far with it. Very fast.

Biggest complaint is they don't allow prebuilt bin, browser forks, or electrum applications in their repo, which is also a pro. Had to resort to flatpak for a few pieces of software, and found a nice cli tool for managing application updates from both sources, topgrade. With flatpak I typically would go without frequent updates, but this takes care of it. Runit takes a whole 4 seconds from grub to my login manager. You can also install .deb files without much effort for the real oddballs such as Mullvad.

I laughed at this in the comments:


I hope Reiser is genuine, but I wonder if he's just trying to manipulate the next parole hearing. I do suspect he's a genuine psychopath.

 

[Prj4MW8iPT3vmFM2rzDc]

I tried 3 different distros tryign to get nvidia drivers to work until i tried manjaro after some one told me to and everything works perfect now.
What kind of nerd stereotype have i accidentally boxed myself into?

While it doesn't justify it of course, she was a crazy bitch. He obviously had to go away for it but I don't think it should be for life.

They may have both been psychopaths frankly.

Nvidia drivers aren't too bad 99% of the time if you use X11 on almost every distro, you just need to add the "non-free" repo. If you use Wayland you need to add a file to your kernel options, either via grub cmd or in /etc/modprobe.d/whatever.conf, here is mine. I hate dealing with Nvidia stuff for my box though, been thinking about swapping out my 2070S just because of the issues present with Nvidia.

blacklist nouveau
options nvidia_drm modeset=1 fbdev=1

Even with that, Nvidia still has issues with the few wayland compositors I've tried, they've improved some over the last year. If you have a single monitor, or multiple monitors of one size and resolution, I'd stick with X11. Which is no longer the default option with Plasma 6 for whatever retarded reason when logging in. Manjaro has it's own set of issues that crop up from time to time, I'd just use the 'arch-install' script and call it a day.

Now that i have at least one install running smoothly I already have another partition to experiment on later when the time comes.
