Partial upgrade to xubuntu 24.04 from 23.10, FS only accessible in recovery mode as root + wifi may be down. Help appreciated
  • @ceciline02 you can pipe dmesg into less I think. Dmesg | less and then use the forward slash to search but also you can use the up and down arrows to go up and down.

  • @ceciline02 when you execute those commands — not even sure if this would help — does dmesg say anything? Even before you go to mount them on boot maybe dmesg might say something about the disks? Or any log in var log?

  • What could your distro learn from another distro?
  • @lemmyreader @barbara it’s a bit annoying but I kinda like that I have to manually link it a bit. So I create sh scripts in the usr/local/bin that just execute the flatpak run command

  • What to include in a backup? (Ubuntu)
  • @Tick_Dracy @WbrJr ZFS snapshots and boot environments could probably do this. Not sure about the usb thing though. @allanjude (tagging Allan so I don’t besmirch ZFS too much).

  • Linux users with uncommon or unusual setups: tell us about it
  • @mjpc13 this would be an amazing blog if you wrote it up. Front page HN content right here. Very cool stuff. Thank you for sharing.

  • @mjpc13 @cyclohexane that’s impressive. Would mean the laptops should also be supported ? Was it hard to do?

  • RAID setup for Ubuntu media server
  • @originalucifer @blackstampede I’d rather ZFS for the data integrity stuff than anything else.

  • RAID setup for Ubuntu media server
  • @originalucifer @blackstampede if you can just do software raid and if possible get the disks to look like JBOD (just a bunch of disks) CPUs are so much faster these days software raid even ZFS offers so much more than hardware raid.

  • Window snapping
  • @Euphoma @1111 last I checked it doesn’t work on the latest gnome

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • @gearheart @Jezebelley can you emulate that by doing a cat on whatever file the ACPI or whatever subsystem handles battery levels? Maybe a script with a sleep to not hammer the level check all the time and then piping that somehow into the status bar?

  • If you do these 5 things... You should NOT use Linux
  • @hiddengoat @original_reader @LastYearsPumpkin @Grangle1 @Xatolos yikes. Troll much?

    Pipewire fixes a lot of issues and is a huge improvement. The best part of OSS and Linux is its the upstart, the underdog, the do-it-for-the-love, the chronically underfunded, hacker os. You’ll find things not as polished as the proprietary alternatives but that’s okay. There’s far more to enjoy: auditable code, open to contributions, infinitely customizable

  • Distro for experienced Linux user
  • @InverseParallax @chevy9294 whoa LXC / LXD since it uses virtualization means one can rock their own kernels? Hmmm

  • Long term OpenSuSE users, how has your experience been?
  • @jollyrogue that would be ideal. I think it does. I have to install the 6.2.9 devel package to get ZFS installed on my 6.4.15 kernel which is insane that it actually works.

  • How to learn linux?
  • @amphetaminisiert @fbsz i3 was so intuitive (long time Vim user) that I ditched macOS for Linux because of it.

  • Any distros you reccomend with these requirements
  • @luciferofastora @nyan I love me some gentoo. But the idea of eeking out significant speed improvements by compiling a very package from scratch is just not going to appeal to many people.

  • Long term OpenSuSE users, how has your experience been?
  • @jollyrogue @ace yeah. A spin of fedora that included ZFS in the kernel and kept it in line with upgrade without having to pin your kernel to avoid it breaking would be awesome.

    Currently I’m on 6.4.14 I think and when dnf upgrade removes the ZFS module to install the latest 6.14 kernel I just install it again and it removes the 6.4 devel package installs like 6.2 devel and ZFS and the module still loads even on a 6.4 kernel. Go figure. Lucky I guess.
