Is it possible to make a multboot usb with different distros using grub? ventoy is fucking up everything lately.
The basic functionality I want is just being able to multiboot several linux distros/windows/whatever else, everything else like persistent storage is an extra(tho this one is a nice one to have).

Hello, I recently acquired my first linux server and hosted some services for myself.
I followed this thread's advice and hardened the server (installed fail2ban, ufw; closed all ports I don't use, disabled password auth). Now I want to know how how should I monitor the services to ensure everything runs smoothly.
Currently, I just check fail2ban logs, and run top -n 1.

all things considered (anything you can think of) what is the best desktop environment for linux nowadays?
i used linux shortly 10 or so years ago and i remember i didnt love gnome. it didnt really make sense to me on non touchpad device, but seeing how it is number 1 option for arguably the best linux distro(s), im considering it
i think it might be better to go with the best version of something im not crazy about, than shitty execution of something that is more up my alley (looking at kde). i could be wrong, didnt use linux in forever

KDE has issues but it's my favorite. Lots of features and customization without feeling like I have to customize everything. Also I like a lot of KDE apps, but you obviously don't have to use those if you don't want to.

Ok fuck me my windows 10 desktop keeps BSODing. I literally just use it to play steam games and skyrim. What linux distro should I install literally right now that will give me the least headaches possible in every way?
I use gentoo on my work laptop, but for my gaming desktop I do not want to boot it up in the evening and then have to do maintenance or fix things after updates or have headaches getting devices to work. I just want to be able to open it and launch steam and relax for a bit. That's the reason it's still running windows even today, but after I finally updated it a couple weeks ago (after a few months of skipping updates) it's started BSODing every couple of days so that's no longer working out.

I don't think you need to look any more deeper than that mate. Perhaps your PSU is dying or the power going to it isn't stable. It won't matter if you install Linux if your power is faulty; it'll still crash.

Don't bother. You won't get much info. You'll get a silly code that only really Microsoft devs know how to decipher and even if you know what the code means you can't fix it. Most likely it's a buggy driver somewhere. Either that or your CPU/GPU has high temps.

Yeah but in Linux case you do get hardware information with journalctl telling which hardware was the problem. With Windows you get nothing.

Shouldn't be the PSU, it's a relatively new one (changed over like last year or so) and supposed to be a pretty good quality one.
It also started after I finally installed some windows updates a couple weeks ago.

Shouldn't be that either since I'm not doing anything too demanding.
Of course they could just be dying, who knows.

For CPU and GPU you need a good knowledge of what values to expect in metrics. You can try the event viewer of Windows but I never really had much luck with that thing.

I have this odd issue where if I put my laptop to sleep, when I wake it up again, it slowly raises the brightness to max, it then blinks the screen a few times and then it goes to black, all while still staying turned on.
Is it a hardware issue? I'm on Fedora 41 and I only started getting it recently.

hard to tell if it's hardware or sofware with just that. honestly your best bet is talking to the devs of the driver that handles brightness of your laptop. Or maybe you could check if it's software increasing brightness. I don't know exactly how right now though. Just an idea. Not a simple problem to figure out, that's for sure, but don't just give up, there's always a solution.

Dmesg just shows you the kernel's ring buffer at this point in time. Journald saves these logs (
journalctl -k) and it's also common on non-Systemd systems for the Syslog daemon to save them to /var/log/kern.log, etc.

It won't tell you shit if the problem is power loss like that anon had because by the time the machine reboots the logs will be gone.
If you're lucky Journald or the Syslog daemon will have recorded it though.

These ranges rotate a lot as people buy and sell them and an IP address doesn't have a country per-se beyond what their geolocation information says (which can be fucky). You can acquire an address range from AFRINIC and use it outside of Africa, for example.

They have them now but they don't generate automatically, you have to open your file manager (Nautilus) to the directory that contains them first.
Yes, this is retarded.

This looks neat, I'm already using ibus-table which this was forked from.
It amazes me that distros don't configure useful stuff like this out-of-the-box. IBus is usually there but distros don't set it up. If you don't know of it then you might come across with the false impression that it's somehow impossible to type emoji and symbols on Linux.

Yes, it's bloat so we'll install the thing and leave it running on people's machines but never configure it to be useful.
Besides, DIY distros like Arch and Gentoo, you already have IBus there, it's just that nobody bothered to configure it. Most people probably don't even know about it.

I know that, I wasn't talking about distros like Arch or Gentoo, I was specifically talking about those that do install it (i.e, most sensible desktop distributions like Ubuntu and Fedora) but don't configure it to do anything.
Of course, your "minimal" Arch install that didn't drag in optional dependencies by default won't have it.

BGP only tells you who owns the address, it doesn't tell you what country it's being used in. People use all sorts of databases for that and they're often out-of-date. If your goal is to whitelist/blacklist ASNs then yes, you can do that pretty trivially though but ASN != country.

Except it does, if you're trying to blacklist entire countries. Then you need this information.
It's easy to just whitelist your own ISPs range though if you just want to prevent everyone other than yourself (and any other customers that have the same ISP) from accessing it.

Installing downloaded rpms only works with rpm-ostree and that slows down your updates with every package layered on top. Also removing shit from the base image provided, like if you don't want Firefox to be on your system, only works with rpm-ostree override as well. And that also slows down your updates, since updates go: base image gets fully updated -> layers and overrides get applied. So every customization of the base image increases the systems memory, instead of reducing it like it would normally if you remove bloat from your OS.

A much simpler idea I just thought of is to verify what DE you're using (GNOME, etc.) and look into whatever logs there might be since your DE should control the brightness. If logs aren't capable of capturing whatever is happening here then you'll probably have to go down the gdb route or something similar.

In my personal opinion, none of this is true, but I understand other people's mileage may vary. However, I still find the previous claims ridiculous. So what causes this? is it just a normalfag thing? pebcak?

I'm on Kinoite and while it was annoying to get used to, I don't think I'd go back to anything else for a daily driver. If you care about customization more than stability I'd stay away like the anon mentioned, but if you just want to get stuff done and everything you need is either a flatshit or cli-based then it's great. It does help that I have another computer running non-immutable linux for learning/customizing purposes.

You can install downloaded RPMs, but it has to be in toolbox/distrobox which is basically a container with host integration. You'll mostly spend your time in there for anything cli based. So you have your base system which you generally don't touch unless you absolutely have to (in my case I just added distrobox), and then the mutable tool/distroboxes.

Tolerable if you don't have fancy hardware and use X11.
Icc profiles and hdr are a shitshow as far as I'm aware. I don't know how good the wayland support is right now, as I don't use it.
Otherwise, things are fine, I rarely have issues.

Let me know if anyone can think of driver changes that may help with the issue, maybe power management or retry related?
Seems to happen most frequently when I'm doing heavier traffic activities or concurrent upload/download. Have had this issue on both my laptop and desktop, both with an Intel wifi card. Arch Linux but it's affected multiple distros.

AMD drivers are very smooth on Linux and work exactly as advertised. No issues at all on Wayland.
Nvidia drivers are very acceptable but always more prone to bugs on (anything), especially on newer hardware or bleeding edge driver releases.
Case by case basis, but generally it's ok especially if whatever DE/WM you use is still on X11.

Both were pretty damn reliable to me.
The only issue I had with my old Nvidia GPU was that it only had 2GB VRAM, which just wasn't enough anymore.
Went with AMD for the new build, it's nice not having to reboot after a kernel update immediatly.

If I have a new rig with 2 SSDs, do I just plug them both in and install my desired distro (Mint), or do I unplug one first, or what's the deal? With Windows, if you don't wanna deal with partition and extra menu bullshit, it's easier to just unplug one first, so I dunno if it's the same with Linux.

Less bad than ZFS until you start adding cache / log volumes. It helps to use NoCOW directories for things which do a lot of block-wise updates, like torrents and crypto nodes. Those do their own integrity tracking anyway, and you can always download the data again if something screws up. If you want to keep the torrent download, copy it to a CoW destination and have a good long term storage copy with no appreciable fragmentation.
RAID1 also offsets the impact of fragmentation a lot because each drive can seek independently.

Did I accidentally delete my grub partition? Google isn't being helpful. I was reformatting the USB I used to install Ubuntu, and I think I may have deleted grub on my main drive by accident. Now I don't want to restart my computer. Is there supposed to be another partition on the home drive? I can't remember if I deleted it on SDA or SDE where the USB was. The files in /boot/grub are still there obviously.

You are supposed to have either an EFI partition (fat32 format) or MBR partition in the front of your boot drive.
Your /boot/grub is still there because that's grubs internal stuff like the config. The part of grub that is loaded by your UEFI is placed in the efi partition, which is often mounted under /boot/efi.
Just reinstalling grub would not be enough if you have actually deleted the efi partition. You'd have to recreate it first.

Okay, I figured it out. You have to take the 1 MB starting partition, clear it so it has no format, and then flag it as bios_grub. Then you can install grub with no errors because it knows where to install. So it's been about two hours since I accidentally deleted grub. That's sad. No one could condense that into a single sentence. They had to write pages and pages of bullshit.
1.) Create bios_grub partition with no format.
2.) Flag partition as bios_grub.
3.) sudo grub-install /dev/sda
All of the directions on the Internet leave out steps 1 & 2, so there are thousands of users posting over and over again with the same fucking problem. What a goddamn shame. The worst part is that Boot Rescue can't actually format the disk, so it's just a waste of time. It should at least tell you what to do in GParted instead of wasting your time.

This only happened because you can't format installation media using right click on Ubuntu. It just complains about the partition table and then refuses to do anything. This needs to be fixed. There should be a one click way to make installation media back into a blank, formatted drive without me having to fucking use GParted. This is unironically probably why a lot of people refuse to use Linux. I've been a Linux user for over 10 years and I'm still making mistakes like this because ease of use is just too much to ask. I ended up making the USB usable with my MacBook because it's so painful to reuse an installation USB on Ubuntu.

I cant ever successfully get Nvidia working on Debian. Nvidia offers features I need so unfortunately I cant switch to AMD or Intel.
I follow the instructions on Debians site but it never works. I can only ever get it working using "driver-manager" or "mintdrivers", which is only available on Ubuntu or Ubuntu based distros like Mint.

I prefer my OS installs to be minimal. Usually just tint2 for the panel, and a simple WM like OpenBox or IceWM. No login manager; I login on the CLI, then start the GUI using startx.
I follow the instructions on Debians site but it never works. I can only ever get it working using "driver-manager" or "mintdrivers", which is only available on Ubuntu or Ubuntu based distros like Mint.

AMD cant force full screen anti-aliasing but Nvidia can.
I like playing old games based on Quake3 and stuff which dont have an option to turn on AA in the game itself. Nvidia lets you force FSAA and anisotropic filtering.

AMD does have a caveat. You cant force FSAA. They used to let you until 2013, but Phoronix did a review where they forced FSAA in the driver AND turned it on in the game resulting in artifacts. This article caused the dev to block the ability to force AA using the driver.
The whole point of forcing AA via the driver is specifically to get AA in games without the option built in, so removing it because someone misused it was pretty fucking dumb.

AA is intended to be used with AF, disabling either results in a worse image no matter the resolution.

It literally worked everywhere unless AA was also enabled in the game/program, resulting in a conflict. Any non-lazy dev would do what nvidia does, and in event of a conflict, either:
respect the game setting and disable the driver override
ignore the game setting and respect the driver override
and nvidia also allows "enhancing", ie augmenting or using both.
When i used forced AA w the open source radeon driver, i enabled it with an environment variable in a script which also started the game. so it took a conscious effort to enable. in other words, not the sort of thing to just get accidentally enabled. and if problems do occur, simply launching the game normally fixes it.

I've never had a butter smooth linux experience. I seem to get minor stutter on videos, and even scrolling in a web browser sometimes has a little lag sometimes, it annoys me. I use Linux Mint and besides the stutter issue, I love it. The DE, the default software, the simple GUI utilities.
I have nvidia 3070, latest proprietary drivers
Ryzen 7 5800X3D
Would switching to Wayland resolve my problem? And would Fedora be the most suitable distro if so, I tried Arch before a few years ago, but a pacman upgrade all broke my system, and I got sick of tinkering / spending so much time reading wiki pages.
Thank you and God bless

I should also mention I use two monitors with variable refresh rate, which I have read can cause these issues. Strangely, if I set both monitors to 60Hz, the lag issue is multiplied and performance is unusable, but setting my primary monitor to 144Hz somewhat relieves the issue, there is still stutter but not as much.

What are some ways of mirroring a directory (or an entire filesystem if that's a requirement) between two Linux boxes?
Idea being a build directory where each can build their own binaries. Thought this being more just-works than distcc or whatever. And I'm not after distributed compiling anyway, those builds aren't that big.

since you have more than 3 discs, you can use raid10, there should be a write performance advantage compared to using raid1. the redundancy is the same however (guaranteed safe from one disc failure)
>>103857717
btrfs is unique when it comes to handling differently-size or odd-number of discs ("odd" used here with regards to how the raid type works rather than literal odd numbers, like with traditional raid10 you'd use multiples of 4 drives). btrfs allocates data in 1GiB chunks, and it's these chunks which are raided, so to speak. this allows it to spread around each (set of) chunk(s) based on how much space is available on the discs, so like for a 5-disc raid10, it might pick discs 0-3 for the first chunk, then 1-4 for the second, 2-0 for the next, etc, spreading the load and using all the space even though it's writing chunks to 4 discs at a time. it only cares that raid chunks are written to unique drives to satisfy the redundancy requirement of the raid level, they don't have to be the same discs each time
same goes for btrfs raid1, it writes chunks to any two discs, whichever has the most available space, so you can have n-disc volumes while having just two copies of data (or 3 if using raid1c3)

if your data recovery plan isn't "restore from a backup", you probably shouldn't be looking at btrfs. and i say this as someone who uses btrfs
btrfs restore is pretty nice, but regardless of filesystem, you really should not be relying on data recovery solutions in the event you lose too many discs
as for raid10 specifically, i have all but spelled it out, but with traditional raid10, it's /possible/ (but not guaranteed!) to lose more than one disc without loss (depends on if the second disc is in a different stripe or not), though it's not guaranteed. with btrfs however, i'm not sure it's possible at all to lose more than one disc, just due to how it works

AMD and Intel have that too. Maybe not 'easily' if you're bothered by sysfs, but from a deployment standpoint it's pretty great being able to save all that to a sysctl.d entry and have it just work out of the box on every distro.

Understandable if you don't want to go through all of that though in which case your best bet is probably Rsync.
Does the distro have a package manager? You could package up the kernel and make a binary repo and then install from that. This would be the best way of doing it.

Did anyone else manage to connect to one of the VPN Gate's servers while on Linux? I had no issues with other VPN sites using OpenVPN to connect yet I do the usual steps with importing the ovpn files in the network manager (with open vpn plugin) yet it fails to connect. VPN Gate's software is Windows only but that shouldn't matter if I'm only using their openvpn file, right? There's an outdated tutorial online that managed to do that on Linux but I don't know if anything has changed in the meantime because what worked for them doesn't work on my machine anymore.
Otherwise, any recs for sites with decent free VPN servers would be appreciated.

They show up as separate video tracks still and so do subtitles. When you have a real video player instead of a shit Bluray player then you can actually adjust these things and more.

Switched to Mint from microshit. I installed brave browser through software manager with the flatpak, brave started hanging up. Review said to do it from the website, because the flatpak is shit and causes freezes.
I did that, after a restart when I open brave with a lot of tabs, it hangs up again. Not just Brave, but my entire System is completely unresponsive. No registering of clicks, only thing I properly can so is restart through the the menu. And then it takes WAY longer to reboot, giving me a huge text of error / System messages first, before it fully reboots.
What can fix this? I don't wanna give up brave, but I also don't wanna switch back to microshit
Typing this from firefox with very few tabs open. No Brave running in the background

since AMD and Intel dont allow forcing FSAA, they are useless to me. Nvidia actually functions as a GPU driver should.
With Ubuntu/Mint, enabling the Nvidia driver takes like 3 mouse clicks and a reboot. A lot easier than whatever temporary hack currently might maybe work to get Mesa to force some half assed shitty looking poor performing FSAA

yes. their response was to contact that hundreds of projects, some of which arent foss and some of which arent actively maintained, and have them implement an option to enable FSAA there
>>103869877
its literally not a hack. they were just too lazy to fix a bug where if AA was turned on in-game AND forced via the driver. it would result in artifacts.
the 2 solutions are dont fix it and just tell users to not force AA if the game already has an option
or do what Nvidia does and allow the user to choose what happens in this event (respect game setting or respect driver setting)

If it's not actively maintained then that might be a good candidate for re-writing its game engine to be more modern. There are FOSS re-implementations of some older games engines (for example, OpenMW) already. Re-writing the engine is obviously a lot of effort but you can make the abandonware actually useful then (OpenMW is basically the best way to play Morrowind now).
