i do not see the hype for immutable distros, they seem to be for an incredibly niche sub-section of the linux desktop which is already incredibly niche (i’ll probably be answering my own question). good for the devs for trying new things i guess but these seem like hell to use if you are a tinkerer, gnome is whack and won’t convince any new users to use linux. it seems like an operating system i’d install for my tech illiterate parents so i won’t have to troubleshoot anything if it had a desktop like cinnamon or kde because they would have some familliarity with a windows like ui.

Embrace GNS.

Based, X forever staying relevant.

Bio checks out.

The boring method, unlock boot drive with password, then the other drives with a keyfile referenced in crypttab. Although now that I think about it, if I were to reboot the machine remotely I wouldn’t be able to do anything on the machine until I have physical access.

gigachads use mitigations=off anyways

yeah, from what i remember the kernel’s oom killer isn’t that fast and external ones work better

So this is only for the background of the motherboard boot up logo like from Asus, Acer, Gigabyte ect? Not your grub or rEFInd background correct?

I’d still use an oom killer even on 6.1 which is the kernel Debian uses, mglru got improvements in following kernels like you said.

Whatever distro you install, make sure you enable zram, it makes old computers with low ram much more usable, and an out of memory killer too.

Cloudflare is a glowie honeypot, the traffic is mitm’d and decrypted by them to see.

pacstrap /mnt base linux

do you want me to use screen, mutt and lynx?

Didn’t know there was a stand-alone bcache, I’ll have to look into that then.

Any chance there’s a Debian repo for bcachefs? I’d want to see how it does on an extra drive in my server. Or will I have to compile it the old fashioned way?

Last time I tried it, HEVC was not on the mainline Linux builds, you had to build it from source with it enabled or use a plugin for it.

Heads up, this website doesn’t get data on stuff you download from private trackers, only public.

Moto G7 plus with lineageos microg

nice i’ll have to try this out, what hardware did you use to flash it?

When asking help with your laptop, not providing your laptop’s model number is a great way to not get proper help.

You’ll have to whitelist some Microsoft domains if you want to get achievements working for games that use a Microsoft account.
