Why does nobody here ever recommend Fedora to noobs?
  • That doesn't mean anything. I once had an issue where every few hours, a random application would crash on Arch Linux, but not on e.g. Debian or Windows. But this wasn't an Arch issue per se, but was instead related to an UEFI overclock setting (which defaulted to on). After turning it off, everything worked fine.

    So while it seemed like an Arch issue, it was actually hardware/overclock related, it's just that the other OS wouldn't run into the trigger for the crash.

  • MSI click bios has been downgraded after RMA?
  • Your BIOS definitely got upgraded, what you're seeing is actually the new BIOS version. MSI said they simplified the UI because the BIOS ROM size is pretty limited and they want to support as many CPUs as possible.

  • Kurze Frage an die Runde: Gibt’s irgendwas, dass gegen Volt spricht? Von den Standpunkten her stimmen die sehr mit meinen Überein, aber ich hab mich mit deren Mitgliedern nicht wirklich auseinandergesetzt.

  • Rate my setup (plz don't kill me)
  • Wait, is this like a really accurate replica of the Windows explorer, or is it actual Windows explorer in a VM with seamless mode?

    Edit: No sane person would add stuff like OneDrive and 3D Objects to an explorer replica, so my guess is VM.

  • That's not my experience. I've got a 13 mini for 2 years now and I can go one day easily. I charge every night anyway, so it's more than enough for me. On low power mode, it's probably more like 2 days.

  • Curiosity of a non-vegan
  • Hi there. For me it's perfectly fine for non-vegans to post here, as long as they are as respectful as you are. I'm gonna try to answer each of your questions real quick from my own point of view:

    Why do you make the conscious decision to not eat meat/animal products?

    Because I don't want animals to suffer just so I can have a specific meal. There's enough alternatives I can create a delicious meal with that don't involve exploiting animals.

    Do you have negative feelings towards those who raise their own animals for food, such as those who raise chickens for eggs or cattle for milk, and otherwise treat the animals ethically?

    That depends, meat is obviously a no-go. Milk is also pretty criticial, since a) you're taking away the milk the mother produced for it's child, b) you have to separate mother and child so that the child can't drink the milk, and c) you have to impregnate the cow against its will continuously to keep up the milk production. Eggs are probably the thing I'd see as most acceptable, as long as the chickens can roam free and are not specifically held for egg production.

    Are there other reasons for not eating meat that I’m not considering?

    Well, for me it's mostly ethical. But there's also a huge environmental aspect, as well as a health aspect.

    When did you choose to switch to a vegan lifestyle, what (if any) was the “catalyst”?

    About a year ago, I was trying to reduce my meat consumption and somehow found a link to the Dominion documentation. If you haven't watched it yet, I gotta warn you, it's absolutely brutal. I couldn't watch it until the end because I was crying and shaking, and I haven't touched meat since. I went vegetarian first for about a month, and then switched to a fully vegan lifestyle when I found out that milk and eggs can't really be produced ethically as well.

    What are some challenges that you have dealt with when it comes to this lifestyle?

    Acceptance from family, friends and others. Most people are pretty accepting of me being vegan, but there are always people that feel the need to justify their meat consumption without being asked, telling me that my plant-based patty should not be allowed to be called a patty or are simply rude by making jokes about veganism like "if I put tofu around this steak, would you eat it".

    I live in a small town, and ordering food is really annoying. There are basically two places that deliver vegan food, and that's pizza and Subway. But I guess it's not all bad, since I cook way more often because of this.

    Why do you believe there is a continued stigma around veganism in many physical/internet communities?

    The same reason there's stigma around different religions: people with different beliefs try to convince the other side that they are wrong. Oh, and also because most people only have heard bad things about veganism, like extremists that take the completely wrong approach to convince people to become vegan.

    I hope I answered most questions to your satisfaction.

  • London for vegans
  • I went to London last year and have a few suggestions for some great restaurants:

    • Purezza in Camden: Great pizza, pasta and desert like Tiramisu
    • Unity Diner in Whitechapel: Amazing vegan meat and cheese (burgers, fish and even steak)
    • Oowee in Brixton: Not really a restaurant but a fast-food joint. Imagine a completely vegan McDonalds.

    If you like fast food, you can also go to an actual McDonalds, they have a great vegan burger there that's only available in the UK (McPlant). Enjoy your stay!

    Random application segfaults on Arch

    Hi everyone,

    ever since I switched to Arch about two months ago, most applications segfault multiple times a day. There doesn't seem to be any pattern for the crashes, sometimes it's even happening while idling (e.g. reading a news article).

    Things I've tried without any luck so far:

    • Running Firefox in safe-mode without any extensions
    • Switching from regular to LTS kernel
    • Disable Hardware Acceleration in Firefox
    • Change RAM speed and timings
    • Run Memtest successfully
    • Replace entire RAM with a new certified kit
    • Use only a single RAM slot
    • Apply Ryzen fixes (iommu=soft, limit c-states)
    • Use only a single CPU core (maxcpus=1)
    • Downgrade Nvidia driver to 535xx
    • Use Nouveau instead of the nvidia driver
    • Use Openbox instead of KDE
    • Disable zswap and THP

    Here's full journalctl from a day where both Spotify and Firefox crashed at the end, a few seconds after each other:

    https://pastebin.com/BH0LMnD9

    Some more info about my system:

    • Ryzen 5 3600X
    • MSI B450M PRO-VDH Max
    • 32GB RAM @ 3200MHz
    • Geforce RTX 2070 SUPER (using nvidia-dkms)
    • Plasma 5.27.10 on X11

    I'm pretty sure that it's not hardware related, because I've booted up a Debian 12 live image where everything ran for several hours without a crash. But it seems to be Arch related, as I also booted up a fresh EndeavourOS live image (so basically Arch), where applications also randomly segfaulted. Any idea why everything works fine on Debian but not on Arch? Debian uses the 6.1 kernel, which I already tried, so that's not it.

    Let me know if you need any more information that might help solve this issue. Thanks!

    Edit [solved]: It looks like disabling PBO in the UEFI/BIOS did the trick. The strange thing is, after enabling it again, it's still not crashing again. Someone suspected that the MoBo default/training settings were faulty, so I guess this was a very rare case here. That's probably why it took so long to find a solution. Thanks everyone for helping me out!
