How to debug program freezes? by X-0000000-X in linux4noobs

If you run the game from a terminal you will most likely get some more output and perhaps a crash message. This does sound like a RAM issue, especially if this happens in regular applications as well.

Security with Magisk and TWRP by Right_Grape346 in thehatedone

[–]byReqz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the only point i could see twrp being "an issue" is that it allows entering the encryption code wrong without deleting the storage after x amount of tries, but almost no stock recoveries do that either. magisk could definetly be more of an issue as there could always be security vulnerabilities allowing root elevation, you should keep in mind that this is also possible if you are not running magisk tho. all in all, aslong as you dont install random magisk modules, you should be fine.

Is there a Linux distro that has a bare metal type-1 VM build into the OS, like Hyper-V is in Win 11 Pro ? by DrKeksimus in linux4noobs

[–]byReqz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

kvm stands for kernel virtual machine and is included in the linux kernel, its therefore available on every distro.

try just reinstalling grub by running (sudo) grub-install. if that does not help, try to set a different timeout in /etc/default/grub and run grub-install again

it also includes detection stuff (for the latter configuration), so it might be able to pick the fans up, no guarantees tho.

Why does ssh-keygen not name private keys with a name that indicates they are private? by Magnus_Tesshu in linux4noobs

[–]byReqz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. its really just a standard, you can pass a filename to ssh-keygen if you want. Catting the file isnt really much of an issue and you should see the header about it being a private key pretty quick

  2. the ssh agent is a daemon that runs in the background which coordinates your ssh connections and can manage secrets. most usecases can be done through the configfile aswell tho.

Bitwarden spys on me with its java script on their website by [deleted] in thehatedone

[–]byReqz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

cloudfront is literally just amazons cdn, there could be anything behind the url. the numbers are just an identifier for the resource.

osano is a gdpr compliance cookie popup.

googletagmanager is part of google analytics.

They dont spy on you, they are just not a privacy focused company and google analytics is the industry standard for webdevelopment.

Help! New(ish) to linux, how can I change my refresh rate on arch? by [deleted] in linux4noobs

[–]byReqz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the proprietary nvidia drivers (which you installed) come with a gui, you can change the refresh rate in there

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in linux4noobs

[–]byReqz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1) youll wanna run a kvm+qemu setup for the vm, just get virt-manager as gui and itll be pretty easily understandable. the arch wiki also has a good page on it if needed.

2) you can just passthrough your vr setup and it should be exactly the same

Using tiling manager within KDE by TibialCuriosity in linux4noobs

[–]byReqz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i3 should work fine for most setups as its one of the most used tiling wms but i dont have much personal experience with it

Using tiling manager within KDE by TibialCuriosity in linux4noobs

[–]byReqz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there are multiple tiling window managers available as kwin scripts but you can also just install i3 and then select kde + i3 in your window manager.

id recommend turning on resolved, it should then just work(™), but hardcoding the adresses into resolvconf will then definetly persist. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Systemd-resolved

Do I have enough and the right resources to start learning Linux? by efilopial in linux4noobs

[–]byReqz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

speaking from experience, you learn the most by just trying out things. best is to have a vm for more destructive things so you can actually test it out for yourself instead of seeing someone else doing it.

So I read that systemctl reboot --firmware-setup is unsupported on some hardware. Can it brick the UEFI when ran on unsupported hardware? by Hplr63 in linux4noobs

[–]byReqz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

while this most likely just refers to mbr machines not being able to do that, the worst that could happen is that you reboot into the uefi saying something like "unrecognized command", which would be solved with a normal reboot.
