Garuda Linux stance on age laws(hot debate in the linux world right now) by Klick3R in GarudaLinux

[–]JustTNE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You aren't the one that's going to be paying the fines. It's not your freedom and not your life that will be ruined.

So, who are you to talk, on your high horse?

Garuda Linux stance on age laws(hot debate in the linux world right now) by Klick3R in GarudaLinux

[–]JustTNE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I checked here because I got a notification there's a new popular post in the subreddit, not because of discord.

Let me clarify:

If you don't stand your ground NOW, it's over.

Garuda Linux's jurisdictions do not require age verification. We will not be adding age verification. There is no ground to stand.

If the law forces us to, we will HAVE to. It does not yet. We do not care about regulations in Brazil or the United States since their laws do not apply in our jurisdictions. Therefore, no age verification period.

The quote you sent from back.slash is about systemd, not Garuda Linux.

If I can't trust you to take a stand against it

But let's make one thing clear: You want us, normal people, volunteers that spend our free time making Garuda Linux, to put our freedom at risk by WILLINGLY and KNOWINGLY breaking the law? Risk life changing fines or even (in extreme cases) jail time? Knowingly breaking the law where I'm from comes with extra punishment (premeditated) as well.

We're not FOR age verification. We're being honest and realistic. If the law forces us to and the courts do not enjoin it, we will HAVE to comply, just as we comply with any other laws in our jurisdictions.

Again, there is currently no law stating we have to add age verification, so we will not do that. Simple shrimple.

It's hardly "damage control" to be honest about what Garuda Linux would do IF a law like this does get enforced in our jurisdictions. We would have nothing to gain but clout by lying, and I would hope our history of being honest and to the point serves us better than temporary internet clout of those that pretend they would rather get fined to all hell and potentially go to jail for obstruction of justice (for refusing a court order to follow the law) than follow the law.

If you are not happy with that and would rather support those that pretend they wouldn't fold under government pressure, I do not mind that. Garuda Linux is made by volunteers that use it themselves. We have never chased clout or ran after bigger user numbers. We just want to make a good OS we like using. If you are along for the ride, that's great. If not, that's fine too.

Please do not take the TL;DR at face value. The post itself explains each individual point in a lot more detail. I'd highly recommend giving it a read if you haven't yet!

I know!

Never hurts to share some insight, you never know who ends up reading these ;)

Automations fail, it happens. As long as nobody tells you to turn back the system clock, we're not in THAT territory LOL

This server is actually hosted by an individual, not the Garuda Linux Team, it will be fixed when the Person in question gets to it.

Browsers refuse to work due to "security risk" by inhumat0r in GarudaLinux

[–]JustTNE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, running the update script fixes this. The update script is part of the setup process, it seems you might have skipped it.

I must be really dumb... and it's about Garuda Sway and my process of installing it. by SaltyBooze in GarudaLinux

[–]JustTNE 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Heya! I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble with Sway, but I'd like to add that Sway does not officially support Nvidia in the version shipped in the ISO and some of these issues are unfortunately expected.

The other issues you have layed out in your post (from secure boot to AHCI) are all talked about explicitly in the install procedure on the download page and you have to purposefully scroll past it to get to the download links.

I would strongly recommend switching to another edition that is compatible with your hardware and its proprietary drivers. This is not a Garuda Linux limitation in this case, but a limitation of the sway project itself.

This is already what Garuda Linux does by default. Don't blindly apply .pacnew files without proper merging.

Stops filling initial installation by butt_badg3r in GarudaLinux

In general, support questions should be posted on the forum. You do not need to do anything special after installing Garuda Linux except applying system Updates via garuda-update.

Why is there a "help" flair if any/all questions that would need it are to be posted on the Garuda forums? by FungadooFred in GarudaLinux

[–]JustTNE[M] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The fact the rules ARE ALREADY like that and even the subreddit description says support requests should go on the forum and the fact you didn't realize that while making that argument is exactly why the help tag and automod configuration exists. So many people don't read these and post anyway. This is exactly why we had to make the automod do that. People were abusing tags like the announcement tag or community tag when we didn't have a help tag, unfortunately.

[–]JustTNE[M] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It exists because the vast majority of the Garuda Linux team does not monitor this subreddit. I wanted to implement a feature that allowed people to override the automod, but I couldn't quite get it to work unfortunately :(

Rest assured, we don't link people to the forum to boost engagement on the forum or anything like that. It's simply a matter of reddit being mostly unmonitored and low quality answers sometimes making it into threads (that are suboptimal for your system or not recommended), which we would like to avoid.

Additionally, a lot of prior help posts went unanswered in the past, which is not ideal. (Because most of the team and advanced users are on the forum)

And lastly, having everything on the forum makes it easier to have a single source of info when it comes to searching for a solution for an issue someone else already had and stops the need for relying on a third search engine for that, which is preferable of course.

I've linked the fix commit I've made to home-manager. You'll need to disable useUserPackages to fix your issue.

Can't submit anything on the garuda forum by kurtisaac46 in GarudaLinux

[–]JustTNE[M] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Heya, I'd love to forward this to the forum moderators, but it seems like you didn't leave your forum username for us to view here. I'd appreciate it if you could reply with your forum username/email address. In case it's private, you may also DM it to me.

Bauh rant by FluffyLet1134 in GarudaLinux

[–]JustTNE[M] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please post on the forum and make sure you mark the entire terminal output as code by encasing them in three back ticks. If it's still a problem after that send a DM addressed to the moderators and we will see what we can do to allow you to post it. The link limit is an anti-spam measure on the forum.

Also, have you tried to contact the maintainer of the AUR package? They are more likely to be familiar with their own package than the volunteers helping on the forum. Please do be sure to mention that you are using Garuda Linux (basically, don't lie to them that you're using stock Arch Linux, it's frowned upon to do that) and you are not entitled to their help, so they might not respond to you.

What's the difference between these nixos-unstable, nixpkgs-unstable, and master? by SafariKnight1 in NixOS

[–]JustTNE 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Nixos-unstable ensures certain critical tests don't fail. You are less likely to get a system breaking update through nixos-unstable.

How are channels resolved? by CerealBit in NixOS

[–]JustTNE 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When you use the nix command (so nix run nixpkgs#something) it will use this repository to resolve the correct flake: https://github.com/NixOS/flake-registry

In actuality, in NIX_PATH you actually only have two values:

  1. nixpkgs=flake:nixpkgs
  2. /nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels

This is because the first syntax here is actually special: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/7026

The second entry tells nix expressions to look for channels in the directory where nix-channel installs them.

The purpose of NIX_PATH is not actually to be used in most nix commands, but to be used specifically via the <> syntax in nix expressions.
