- I have been hoping for a long time around 2-3 months.
- I mostly hope to see what different distro has to offer plus I get to know a lot about Linux and how it works. ( I am a Software Engineer so I learn a lot about softwares too)
- ok this is a tough one, I like Arch because of AUR and the concept of AUR, there isn’t anything like it in other linux distro however it broke because I partially updated it by installing newer package on older deps this was my mistake that I didn’t update my Arch system for a long time, I also liked Gentoo which gave me a deeper understanding of how software are compiled and gets installed on a Linux system.
- My favorite distro would be Arch and the least favorite would be Ubuntu
Hello,
first I installed Gentoo with glibc and it worked fine, I got sway up and running but after some time I got bored and wanted something new. so I decided to go with Arch with rEFInd bootloader but I couldn't make it work. Arch dropped me into a rescue shell. so I went back to Gentoo but this time with musl and this time I tried Hyprland on Gentoo. there were 133 packages to install for Hyprland, so I went for installing those packages but the build failed probably because using musl. now I thought I just pick that's easy to setup and I went with Debian and it got installed successfully. so yeah, right now I am using Debian after the back and forth between Arch and Gentoo.
sadly I pissed of some Gentoo devs on IRC #gentoo :(
maybe it was my fault I shouldn't have distrohopped when Gentoo was installed succesfully and working fine.

hello,
I don't know if this is the right place to ask this question but could someone explain me how a UEFI system boots, I couldn't find a guide online. I want to know because I don't understand certain GRUB commands and how it get installed.
I just copy paste commands from Arch wiki and it just magically works without me knowing anything about it.
all the different distros use different grub command parameter and it's so confusing. eg, Arch and Gentoo.
Arch command: grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=esp --bootloader-id=GRUB
Gentoo command: grub-install --efi-directory=/efi
why both command is different? exactly where does grub gets installed?
sorry if this is a naive question but i really don't understnad GRUB.

Yeah but it’s really old.

Hello,
just wanted to share the idea. I was thinking about installing Android on Laptop just like it's already installed on mobile. I know it's possible using Waydroid but It would be nice If we have a distro that provides an iso to install stock Android(or Lineage OS) so people could easily install Android on their Laptops. I don't know if anyone has already tried it or not.
Edit: Thank you guys for the suggestions I am going for BlissOS and PrimeOS :)

It is pretty good actually. I can install every programming language compiler/interpreter in Linux and everything just work fine.
LibereOffice should work fine if you work on it and export it to pdf. If you want to bounce between LiberOffice and msoffice then don’t expect things to go smoothly.
Any other things to keep in mind when solely using Linux for your studies Go for a stable distro like Debian, don’t install bleeding edge distro like Arch or Gentoo unless you really want to.
I had the same question. I have rather good understanding of Linux and command line however at my job where Ubuntu is used other people easily caught up with me. They still don’t know much about what exactly a command does but they know when to run it so IMO it doesn’t matter how much Linux you know the only knowledge matters which you could use to have your job done quickly and efficiently.
Hello,
First of all I don't really get the actual meaning of "please". I understand it as it used to make a polite request. However I have rarely seen any westerner saying "please" on either Lemmy, Mastodon or IRC. where I live using "please" (मेहरबानी) is used often.

Hello,
I was feeling like I am mentally sick since 3-4 year. I often do unhinged things that doesn't make any sense. I constantly imagine things that's not the reality however I *know* it's not reality but I still smile thinking about those imaginary stuff and also I get depressed thinking the imaginary stuff. I don't hear any voice but I keep talking to people in my head. It's difficult for me to sympathize to other people. I can't even make any social connection because my brain will make some negative assumption toward that person who is actually a nice person.
I went to psychiatrist and he said I have schizophrenia and told that I need immediate treatment. he gave me 9 injections and medicines. I feel like I am scammed. I don't know I feel the same before and after the treatment. It also cost a lot of money around 1000$. I am so frustrated and don't know what to do.
any suggestions would be appreciated.
Edit: no, I didn't take the treatment from the first psychiatrist. I went to other psychiatrist and he came to the same conclusion. I was so scared atm that I didn't think much about it and went for the treatment.

I usually spend 1-2 hour on Lemmy since I am not a good reader(and also non native) so it takes some time to read all the content I like on Lemmy.
I was inactive for some time because I was busy with my life but I am back and now I try to post and comment more frequently!

Hello,
I wanted to use hyprland on fedora silverblue but I couldn't find any image. I found [this image](https://github.com/hyprgreen/main) however when I rebase to that image it drops me into rescue mode after reboot. :(
do you have your own hyprland silverblue images? I would love to try it out :D

this is going to be my personal experience of making custom ublue image. hopefully you will learn something from it.
so first of all you have to decide which Desktop Environment you want to use. I have chosen KDE but you can choose whichever DE you want. to see available DE you can go [here](https://universal-blue.org/images/). now copy the url of the image you want to modify. for my case it will be `ghcr.io/ublue-os/kinoite-main:39`.
create a file and name it `Dockerfile`. and add the following line to the Dockerfile
```bash
FROM ghcr.io/ublue-os/kinoite-main:39
# Install your favoutie program using rpm-ostree
RUN rpm-ostree install zsh fish neovim vim emacs kitty alacritty distrobox -y
# finally cleanup and commit the changes
RUN rpm-ostree cleanup -m && \
ostree container commit
```
save the file and run the following command in the current directory to build the image. (make sure you have docker installed on your system)
```bash
sudo docker build -t custom_image:latest .
```
you can now upload it to ghcr.io or rebase on it using `rpm-ostree rebase` command.
I hope this was useful. :)

Today, I made switch to fedora silverblue and then rebased to ublue image because it has flatpak included in the image. I am also thinking about making my own image based on silverblue. there is a video made by bigpod a youtuber about how to make your own custom ublue image and I learned a lot from that video. I am using toolbox to install various software and I am linking it however I am thinking if toolbox consumes more RAM and CPU. I guess I will find out ones I install silverblue on my laptop with old HDD.
I downloaded my favourite browser from flathub. the flathub repo isn't enabled by default in kinoite image of ublue. I have also find a way to export toolbox container to move it to different machine.
So yeah, I am liking it so far :D
