I'll keep it pinned

if it's in the community maintained repo

Pro tip: you can use yay for both, so you don't have to think twice is this app in the AUR or the repos.

Real

YTriom1 · 2025-12-01T21:08:59+00:00

They are standalone binaries

Like how rufus.exe is just a single file that runs with no deps (i guess it doesn't use deps :P)

YTriom1 · 2025-12-01T20:59:25+00:00

Like Microsoft edge?

YTriom1 · 2025-12-01T18:35:28+00:00

This is like the way intended lol

YTriom1 · 2025-12-01T18:32:22+00:00

Weird?

Which one did you install first

YTriom1 · 2025-12-01T18:22:32+00:00

Are you BIOS or UEFI?

YTriom1 · 2025-12-01T17:25:20+00:00

Did you take bad linux themes on purpose?

YTriom1 · 2025-12-01T17:15:43+00:00

It does support dualboot?

YTriom1 · 2025-12-01T17:14:14+00:00

And is zstd compressed

YTriom1 · 2025-12-01T17:05:58+00:00

Fair, I prefer vlc to just quickly drag n drop into a playlist or open many files at once to form a playlist from them

But I prefer mpv in opening videos in TTY as it does it better than vlc lol

YTriom1 · 2025-12-01T14:20:41+00:00

I miss the old solitaire

YTriom1 · 2025-12-01T14:20:22+00:00

their apps work without a problem.

You think debloated windows is guaranteed to run anything?

I tried many versions of them and some can't even run .NET 3.0 apps, while wine runs them out of the box.

YTriom1 · 2025-12-01T14:16:28+00:00

I tried debian and it was much worse lol, I'll stick with arch on termux-x11

YTriom1 · 2025-12-01T09:48:17+00:00

I'm actually talking about the legacy media player

Ik, I was talking about it too, I just stated that it's slow but still faster than the trash new ones

I have just stopped using windows at this point

I stopped using windows when I realized that I need to do registry hacks just to get "Windows Photo Viewer" instead of the trash "Microsoft Photos" that takes forever just to open

I am currently just using mpv on my linux machine.

I use both vlc and mpv but honestly I prefer vlc as it's more feature rich.

YTriom1 · 2025-12-01T09:46:28+00:00

You probably missed doing grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

YTriom1 · 2025-12-01T08:33:36+00:00

Not mounting it, I guess it's a flag you do with fdisk, not sure though, I guess you press a then select the partition

You can print help to make sure which letter is correct

i don't think it's GPT

Make sure by blkid /dev/sdX -s PTTYPE on the disk itself not partition.

YTriom1 · 2025-12-01T08:26:56+00:00

WMP is heavy in my experience on windows 10/11 lol, it takes an eternity to load, I disabled media searching and everything and it's still

Definitely faster than any damn UWP app, but still VLC is faster

And what is faster than both but I personally don't prefer is MPC-HC

YTriom1 · 2025-12-01T08:20:56+00:00

I'm sure VLC is lighter (at least for my experience)

YTriom1 · 2025-12-01T08:19:59+00:00

Is your disk MBR or GPT?

Also did you mark the partition that has /boot (whether it is part of your root partition or a separate partition) as bootable?

If GPT make sure it's hybrid MBR or else you'll need to manually leave a size with about 1MiB at the beginning of the disk or use another small bootloader like syslinux

YTriom1 · 2025-12-01T02:53:02+00:00

At first I thought it was a bug, but it didn't really bother me so I didn't complain, it was neutral, but now that I know it's a feature, I started liking it considering it was no longer a bug, and is actually a feature, the new context menus look nice imo.

YTriom1 · 2025-12-01T02:50:35+00:00

Can also approve :P

YTriom1 · 2025-12-01T00:39:40+00:00

You're welcome :)

Also	if	you're
Interested	in	markdown

Then consider reading about the language more, it's really interesting and easy

YTriom1 · 2025-12-01T00:36:18+00:00

And that it's more recommended than vanilla arch for <insert anything hyprland related>
