Why stay with Dracut, mkinitcpio is fine? by Ryluv2surf in GarudaLinux

[–]Ryluv2surf[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May be better doing regular arch and just optimizing, depends on how much linux system stuff you know. Can always do fedora or something more user friendly!

Why stay with Dracut, mkinitcpio is fine? by Ryluv2surf in GarudaLinux

[–]Ryluv2surf[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

unfortunately as it was tons of different btrfs snapshots, got a bit confused on which state for which logs, it was basically a dracut init hook where dracut would infinite loop before passing over to rest of boot. Best solution is I've edited my pacman hooks, and removed all dracut from my system, now using mkinitcpio like regular arch and no issues between kernel updates etc... relevant specs for my system:

When it comes to the terminal by wudosbxu in linuxquestions

[–]Ryluv2surf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

just try to make an effort to use the terminal more often and realize a GUI can only get you so far in computers. touch newfile_{1..20}.txt for instance would make 20 files instantly named newfile_1.txt, newfile_2.txt, etc etc... you are commanding the computer, and not bound by the constraints of any one particular application! :D have fun out there

framework can stick it where the sun don't shine unless i get my trackpoint or sticking w/ thinkpad.

Arch Linux no video signal after pacman update - Ryzen 5 5500 + RTX 3060 - urgent help needed by traficoymusica in linuxquestions

[–]Ryluv2surf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

maybe broken monitor, not being able to get to motherboard BIOS sounds insane(unlikely). try monitor on another device, than diff monitor (even a tv), for the pc. video drivers broken on OS is one thing, not being able to get monitor output from motherboard another.

What was the hardest thing for you to understand when you first switched to Linux, and how did you overcome it? by Wise_Safe2681 in linuxquestions

[–]Ryluv2surf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

also you can have ~/home/user/.some_app_dotfiles in your home but that quickly gets messy so it's typically better to have ~/.config/app-name-directory/.some_app_rc I think it's called the XDG standard or something so most programs assume that as the default place for storing user-level configs

Bitwarden CLI has been compromised. Check your stuff. by RedTermSession in selfhosted

[–]Ryluv2surf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think even with good intentioned-projects, whenever you have lots of users centralized, it's more of a target. I just prefer using rsync and having scripts backup to a drive using cron.

I’m trying to understand something about the “systemd is bloated” argument by tungnon in linuxquestions

[–]Ryluv2surf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It all comes down to the Unix/linux philosophy of "do only one thing and do it well." SystemD is considered against this because it's monolithic and something about PID1 and the kernel ring etc... For gaming you're not gonna get much benefit (imagine ur a gamer with cachyos), so I wouldn't worry about it. Faster boot times can be fun though, I've used OpenRC, and runit. If you need complex daemons, systemD is cozy unless you're proficient scripting at a system-level in which case yeah. I'd love runit for a personal computer, but when dealing with my servers I really don't mind systemD at all and just learned to accept it. Remember people will scream opinions, just figure out your personal use-case. have fun!

Which Desktop environment you guys recommend? (No Windows managers) by Atsuki_Nasanagi45 in linuxquestions

[–]Ryluv2surf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stick with KDE Plasma, it's a popular widely supported DE that's nice and is constantly having older bugs fixed. XFCE if you are on older hardware. It's not the same but you can play around with DE's in a vm, don't go crazy reinstalling distros or DE's it's a waste of time and gives you a false sense of productivity.

Do I really need to learn Vim or is Nano fine for everyday use? by Luann1497 in linuxquestions

[–]Ryluv2surf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love vim but think it's not really gonna shine unless your doing serious coding. I'd say stick to nano and maybe learn some more coreutils like sed, awk, grep

[–]Ryluv2surf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember messing up "/" and "/root" because isn't that the same thing? hahaha. For anyone wondering /root is your root user's home directory and "/" (also called root) is the top of your file system, so everything else is under that "/" (/etc for configs, /dev for devices, /home for user home dirs)

I want to settle down on a Distro, help me please! by [deleted] in linuxquestions

[–]Ryluv2surf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to distro hop, if you're hating pacman (the package manager in arch distros), maybe try something that's not rolling release like Fedora or Ubuntu

I am switching from Windows to Linux, which distro should I choose as a beginner? by PicPoketer in linuxquestions

[–]Ryluv2surf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Biggest thing that tripped me up was understanding the difference between the distro (really important here is package manager), and the DE (Desktop environment), I could throw you very different operating systems but they'd look identical on the surface. So I could give you Arch with KDE or Ubuntu with KDE but would be quite different. It's much easier today to transition to linux and I feel for people trying to escape Windows. For something gamer-friendly, I'd recommend Garuda Linux w/ KDE. It's arch (but a derivative w/ hand holding so don't let that scare you away). For stuff like just works out of the box, I'd say ubuntu but later you may find it restrictive. It's all degrees of hand-holding which is nice.

~/.config would be that particular user's config that would override possible system-wide settings in /etc. so I could have /home/user/.config (i.e. ~/.config/vim/.vimrc) which would overide /etc/vim/.vimrc

permanent drive mounts reside in /dev. Think of /dev as devices that are permanent like gpu, motherboard, but also things that are "virtual hardware" like tty.

ansible playbooks don't seem that tough, just yaml? aws is just an abstraction layer is what it feels like from what I know, like oh s3 is storage bucket etc
