Arch installer on Artix?

Would Arch installer work on Artix with just changing the repos? I have no issues installing manually, but Arch installer is the fastest Linux installer available. It is much faster than any GUI installer, so VM's would benefit a lot.

Bootloader equivalent to Rufus
  • Your machine is UEFI, which means your usb stick must be formatted in gpt. Ventoy defaults to mbr which means lagacy bios. It is just 3 mouse click setup.

    Try again. Because it is the best method. I just updated 2,5 years old Ventoy stick without any issues without re-formatting.

  • LMDE6 started to drop Realtek wifi card

    I've had LMDE6 installed since it's release day and everything has been fine. For the past week it's been dropping my wifi card randomly. It is not recognized by rfkill nor lspci after it happens. Only reboot helps.

    Does anyone know why it might happen? Kernel is 6.1.0-21-amd64 but I don't know has the kernel been updated recently.

    Windows95Man to represent Finland in Eurovision. Linus Torvalds must be so disappointed
  • En kyllä todellakaan jaksanu lukea sitä :D menin iltalehden etusivulle ja ensimmäisenä vastassa otsikko jotakuinkin "huomasitko viisufinaalissa? Windows95Man ja äärioikeistolainen symboliikka" Ei sanasta sanaan noin, mutta noita sanoja käyttäen.

    Pari tuntia myöhemmim yritin etsiä uutista näyttääkseni sen kaverille mutta ei löytynyt enää mistään.

  • Can Linux be dual booted on a computer with Windows?
  • Just to clarify, you don't need to shrink your storage drive for any VM. I haven't used Windows for so many years, that I can't remember can you shrink your C:/ partition, so search for it from your preferred search engine.

    For a Linux Newbie Nvidia should not cause problems. Pop_OS! releases their own .iso for their own made Nvidia drivers. Also other Nvidia driver named NVK should be available soon for any distro out of the box and it will remove most (if not all) Nvidia-related problems on Linux. But I bet most Linux-gamers uses Nvidia without issues anyway.

    When you're about to do your first dual booting attempt, I highly recommend to take a backup from your Windows install since it's your first time so something unexplainable can go wrong.

    Ps. Remember this until the rest of your life: no matter how you do it, Windows will always override and format your Linux ESP partition, so you have to always install Windows first and Linux second and preferably with its own ESP.

  • I tried, I really did
  • Then demand Nvidia for better drivers. The new Linux users doesn't deserve all the current hassle because that instantly kills the motivation for even actually starting the Linux journey at all.

  • nvme usb c enclosure vs fast usb stick write speed

    I am planning to get an external storage for Ventoy use. My current random usb 3.1 stick writes .iso-files with only 10-15 mbps only. I found this webpage for usb stick speed comparison: https://ssd-tester.de/usb_stick_test.php

    The fastest usb sticks writes 800-1000 mbps in the crystaldisk-test.

    If you have personal experience on this, please recommend which approach is better.

    Has anyone tried booster to replace mkinitcpio?

    https://github.com/anatol/booster

    Does this give any real world value for boot times or anything else?

    I have no possibility to test this in VM so that's why I'm asking if anybody has actually tried this and found benefits.

    Scheluded updates instead of constant stream?

    Is there a way to activate weekly updates into flatpak? In a way, which doesn't ask over the internet if any updates are available before scheduler goes off.

    This isn't a big issue but my grandparents hates to get updates too often (because Windows used to break so often lol). They have LMDE6 in use, if that matters.

    RedoxOS in a VM and not working internet connection

    I am trying to experiment with RedoxOS in qemu and in a virtualbox, but the internet connection doesn't work out of the box. I tried to search from the documentation (which is great, thank you all for maintaining it) for the steps how to activate but no success.

    So, how am I supposed to activate the internet connection in a VM?

    How to delete Steam games in Linux?

    I can't delete any games because nothing happens when I try to either delete the game or manage game files.

    I tried to reboot and waited for game updates but no success. Is this a known issue or what?

    xdg-open / mimetype for terminal applications in a minimal Wayland wm (dwl)

    I'd like to make multiple terminal apps to launch in foot terminal, but I can't figure out how to se it properly.

    ~/.config/mimeapps.list contains a line "terminal=foot.desktop" (tried also without .desktop).

    Dir /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache has everything set properly (swayimg.desktop as a imageviewer) but still every picture opens in a browser which I don't want to see.

    As a file managers I use lf and nnn, they both contain .desktop-files but I can't launch them with keybinds or menu launcher. Same applies to vim.desktop, nothing happens.

    The distro I use is Artix, but I assume this problem is unrelated to this problem. I tried to google wiki but none of the xdg- related articles contains this.

    Edit. I managed to find a workaround for lf and nnn by editing the Exec= line in /usr/share/applications/*.desktop file. (Exec=/usr/bin/foot -e nnn) but I still can't figure the swayimg imageviewer.

    Alsa is a dependency for emacs?

    I am asking for learning purposes. I don't fully understand what Emacs does with sound either, but is there a logical reason why it still uses Alsa and not Pipewire?

    #32 podcast has the magic word 'immutable'

    Is Alpine also becoming immutable, or is this development towards immutable independent/separate from Alpine?

    I'm not involved in the project by any means. Not even an user yet. Just a fanboy. Thanks for everybody involved in this project.
