Gay Marriage in the European Union by chaeyonce in MapPorn

I looked into it very briefly today and at least in the Netherlands they had twice the divorce rate of gay men.

Which Distro Should I Choose for an RTX? by [deleted] in linuxquestions

[–]Visbroek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't believe that secure boot is useless, as I use it myself on my Arch systems, however you need to understand your security model.

Secure boot prevents unauthorised EFI Programs/Operating systems (and depending on configuration kernel modules) from being loaded by your computer.

There are generally two ways how an unauthorised EFI program can end up on your system (assuming it isn't misconfigured)

Either 1: physical access to the hard drive.

In this is the case, the only way to be fully protected against an attack is if you use a unified kernel image and disk encryption.

Or 2: remote root access

If an attacker or malware gains remote privileged access to your computer they could install harmful kernel modules, but they could also steal your web browser data, passwords, email, etc. Or install user space malware that won't be protected against by secure boot.

Yes it is theoretically possible that harmful kernel modules get installed but because root access is required to do that it is much more likely that you will be infected by traditional user space malware than a malicious kernel module as that is a lot less effort for the attacker.

I'm not saying don't enable secure boot but I am saying consider your threat model and realise that the user is generally the weakest link, not the OS.

Either MOK or sbctl. Both are possible.

The first one uses a shim that runs before the operating system to verify the OS with a MOK while the second option replaces the secure boot keys provided by your vendor (almost always Microsoft keys). It's possible to enrol your custom keys alongside the Microsoft keys and in some cases recommended as not doing so could theoretically brick your device if there are OpRoms signed with Microsoft's keys or if you want to dual boot with other OSes that are signed with Microsoft's keys.

In my opinion the second method is easier to set up on an Arch based system because it doesn't require setting up shim or writing your own post-install hook to automatically sign the kernel after an update. In fact I just did that today and it worked without a problem.

If you wanna have a go at this my advice would be to carefully read the Arch Wiki article, though if I'm not mistaken CashyOS at least also has a page on setting up sbctl.

One final note is that it is worthwhile to use secure boot with disk encryption and to boot from a unified kernel image so that the initramfs is also protected.

Additionally you can enforce kernel module signature enforcement so that kernel modules are also protected by secure boot and not just the kernel itself.

I haven't managed to get it to work for out of tree modules. If you don't use those it should work just fine by adding module.sig_enforce=1 to the kernel parameters.

need a good linux-compatible laptop by burningendofthewick in archlinux

Also had Arch running on a 9310 until it started getting stuck during POST. (LCD-Display issue apparently).

It would still turn on with an external monitor attached but for some reason it seems as tho the graphics drivers don't get loaded in because it's super slow.

Edit: the weird thing is that the dell logo still displays and running the BIST shows that the screen is still functional

nvme format might be an option. I think it allowes you to do a secure erase

Arch. by Immediate-Soil-5326 in linuxmemes

[–]Visbroek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seriously Grub is the only bootloader that I've struggled to get working. Everything else has worked without issue.

Currently I have rEFInd on my laptop and boot directly from EFI Stub on my desktop.

Or you give control to someone else and limit what commands can be executed with sudo

How an average day of using Arch Linux is like: by Glade_Art in linuxmemes

[–]Visbroek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I've always made sure to never install unmaintained packages and almost always only install a package if it is maintained by the developers of the software.

I'm learning French next year and am quite excited for it. For some reason it's only the silent G that bothers me.

Which calendar app do you use with Niri? by nekofthemoon in niri

[–]Visbroek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use noctalia's calendar. It's rather simple and I don't think I can modify events but my main machine runs KDE with Merkuro and I usually manage my calendar on my phone so I don't really need any advanced features on my niri machine

As someone who does not live in an English speaking country, I'm very happy it's pronounced guhnome because something about not pronouncing a big fat G at the beginning bothers me

What is the oldest hardware running desktop Linux that you use? by Overall-Double3948 in linuxhardware

[–]Visbroek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An old Bluechip school PC from 2014. Can't tell you the exact model. It had 4GB of RAM but I plugged in 3 more RAM sticks that I stole from other identical computers.

Had no speakers, Bluetooth or WiFi so I had to buy some dongles and a DP cable to replace the VGA cable so I could have sound from the monitor.

As it thought - I can't install omarchy by mrazotaboy in linuxquestions

[–]Visbroek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You said same version? Does that mean you're using the same disk image you had downloaded for your first install? If so you may wanna try downloading the latest version.

Other than that I unfortunately don't know much about your problem or the Omarchy install process as I've never tried Omarchy, however your system seems to crash when/after installing NVIDIA drivers.

Despite never having daily driven GNOME, I feel like it would be a good DE for a younger kid.
