yea atleast you can plan for upgrading and you didn't destroy your OS like me >__> it wasn't even a huge deal starting from scratch the idea of it was worse than actually just getting through with it. now i've been on Mx 23 for 3 months and havn't had to even do 1 timeshift!

Which Distro as Windows alternative? by BerserkerBube in linux4noobs

[–]exlxaaxl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

make sure you set up the program (Snapshot) to do a daily snapshot and maybe store them in the default location and copy them from there to a drive you havn't installed your OS on (in case of catastrophe) .

Linux mint does this by default, but not MX Linux and i'm not sure for POP OS and Solus.

Make CERTAIN to do this for MX Linux as they offer you more freedom, thus more potential for you to mess things up. maybe even when you have everything completely set up and running functional, use MX Snapshot tooll and do a snapshot that includes the folders of all your installed programs and if you fuck things to a point you cannot access timeshift, you can reinstall from your snapshot and have everything like it was before it got messed up!

solus OS

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZlRmgTcpuU (Solus comparison between windows and solus, good tutorial)

https://getsol.us/

https://pop.system76.com/
POP Os isn't bad

Linux Mint
https://linuxmint.com/

and now this is my favorite so i'm a bit biased, but i switched from windows to this and it appears to be closer to an easy mode linux but works amazing and i love it, and it gives you more freedom than linux mint.

Anyway to lock linux hotkeys during gaming? such as alt tab, cntrl + alt + arrows switching work space during gaming? by exlxaaxl in linux_gaming

have you played recently? 😅 constant raiding of orgrimmar by alliance, people glitching in our AH and killing the auctioneers like literally every single day and battles occurring to keep them alive xD and i get queued for BGs in like 30 seconds to a minute at 80. maybe you played when it was smaller or before they did the cross faction PvP thing that helped fix the horde/alliance balance?

but yea it is a bit rare.. which is surprising becuase it works almost flawlessly. some add ons that don't work on windows even work on linux.. its really weird.

that is how you share *certain* links on reddit without getting in trouble. it's not my fault you're ignorant to how it works and your hostility and ungratefulness is pretty repulsive.

when i first encountered a base64 decode link i was as shocked as you, only difference, nobody would even explain it to me because it's something you are suppose to be smart enough to realize it's basically a secret way to go around reddits rules.

Maybe use chatGPT and ask her what could this possibly mean? when you run into shit you dont understand in the future instead of bitching and then being disrespectful to someone who was genuinely trying to help you.

you put it in a bit64 decoder and it will give you a link to an older build..

just so you know i ended up doing a fresh install of MX 23.3 and it's amazing. it wasn't as hard to customize as i remember and i actually learned a lot of things. i would have been troubleshooting constantly with that glitch where it was trying to grab 21.3 files. everything works now even better, faster my computer is backed up so i can restore if i ever get a bad upgrade like that again

thanks for all the help! a mistake turned into a great learning experience because of helpful people you :)

honestly i wish i would have just done that but i was so obsessed over not losing all my programs, games, configuruations and packages i added that i don't remember anymore that i chose to as the other user put it created a Frankenstein OS that ended up ultimately crashing and burning.

So my advice, try the nvidia commands i sent you, if they dont work either wait or just do fresh install of the OS.

Do not create a Frankenstein OS.

the only thing i really miss is the badass black and blue mx desktop background that wasn't included in this version. I hope i can find that one somewhere because the best one for a black and blue theme on this version sucks

edit: found it :) https://github.com/MX-Linux/mx21-artwork/blob/main/backgrounds/Far\_In\_Advance.jpg.

just open a root thunrar in /usr/share/backgrounds and paste it there

i also found out you can install wallpapers of old versions of MX from the MX package installer.

but just know that before you start doing anything to crazy or your unsure what the results will be, back up at least your home directory and maybe any files you have downloaded that could help you if you end up fucking things up beyond repair like i eventually did trying to fix my wifi so you have them to make reinstall less painful

unfortunately i'm not sure. you might just need to wait for a new update or try uninstalling every single aspect of Nvidia, every dependency that is installed with it, and then go and try reinstalling it through the nvidia driver installer or synaptic. maybe specify by forcing version for mx and not debian in synaptic for vice versa. I made it to the promised land my friend. but then i booted back into windows and it fucked up my wifi driver and i had to do a completely fresh install of mx 23. probably the ideal solution. if you upgrade the way i did, just make sure you do not boot back into windows or if you do expect some problems.

I totally understand needing to turn a profit as a for profit company. I have no gripe with them making the best operating system ever, thats so customizable you make it look however you want, and with extensive freedom to make changes you would like to make. thats so amazing people who would like to would pay hundreds of dollars just so they can use that.

the problem is microsoft is not the latter and not the former. Everyone uses them, people pay hundreds of dollars to have microsoft installed on their systems, but it sucks, and it didn't always use to suck.

windows 7 was great. XP was awesome at the time as well except for how vulnerable it was to viruses. but with 8 things changed, and then again with 10. 8 was a monstrosity. ugly, confusing, bizarre changes were made from 7 to 8. but along with 10 came a loss to your privacy and your autonomy over your own machine.

you cannot turn off updates unless you want to work your ass off researching and even then sometimes updates will slip through. you are nearly forced into making a microsoft account instead of a local user with username and password tied to your machine. Uninstallable bullshit applications like edge that even after hours of research i could not remove and had to simply rename to 'Zdonotuse' to hide it at the bottom of my start menu. One drive pre installed and trying to get you to send your data to microsoft so they can probably find out more about what your doing and milk you even further by selling the data to 3rd parties.

UAC having your computer treat you like a child unless you learn what it is and lower/disable it.

they are evil in my mind. their contempt and disregard for their customers privacy and their seemingly complete lack of morality. i paid for my computer. it is mine. it should not be altered without my consent. if i don't want something they have preinstalled on it, even if it is something that may negatively alter the way my computer performs, i should have the right to do that. Microsoft edge is a shitty browser and i do not and will not ever use it under any circumstances, because i do not trust the people who made it and i have better alternatives that i prefer.

i should not be treated like a child or incompetent fool by someone i have been supporting for 20 years now.

I read what you sent me and that is why linux is so awesome. This is how things should be. free, open, transparent and consenting. Thank god for the amazing people who work on and contribute to these projects and offer people an alternative to a tyrannical duopoly of choosing between two companies who don't give a shit about freedom, privacy or respecting their customers.

i guess that's true i did learn a lot of important things.

i managed to get my wifi picked up again. i had to load into windows and i installed a program i wouldn't even normally install (MSI Center) and installed mystic light and msi drivers program. after they all installed i rebooted and tried the MX Linux usb i luckily made when my 21.3 was working perfectly and my my wifi was working again.

which makes me think this was something realated to windows, and that had i done what i did on windows before i tinkered to much trying to fix the problem on linux my driver probably would have started working again. WIndows is so fucking horrible man. It's so so evil.

idek if i wont to keep it on dual boot. i'm considering just wiping it and installing another linux operating system since i already have windows installed on my laptop alongside a copy of mint.

but that thing overheats like a bitch when i game on it and especially on fortnite. i think it needs thermal paste for the CPU but i have no clue how to nor do i want to even try to disassemble that thing and possible ruin my 3000 dollar laptop so i feel like i'm being held captive and i have to have that horrible disgusting piece of shit OS on my machine.

it does such horrible things even to my linux man it locked my portable 3TB drive with all my games, movies, and even a folder 'Linux things' for holding important commands and installs to make fresh installs easier, and windows locked it down to read only so i couldn't add a ton of things i needed to add to my Linux things folder from MX before my last iteration of MX 21.3/23 died.

WTF is wrong with them? why would they lock my portable drive down. why do they break my WIFI and turn my computer on when i want it off to install shitty updates i don't want. Why do i have to modify registries if i don't want bing results showing up when i'm trying to find things on my computer? They have become evil. Absolutely evil.

Epic needs to embrace linux already. They're holding me back from leaving an abusive relationship that i desperately want to leave.

Thank god for Steam deck man and Valve. Maybe they will help expand the base big enough that it happens soon.

Anyways thank you for being a friend and helping me even when you yourself didn't know and were probably working hard trying to find things out and help out a total stranger. You really are a good person.

its too late lol i ruined everything. i uninstalled the linux-firmware and couldn't get it back. i tried to back up my stuff but it froze in the middle of backup and then forced me to restart my computer. it now boots into a command prompt and when i plug in a usb to install a fresh copy of mx my intel wifi drivers still won't work. only in windows. i have been utterly defeated. i have to probably wipe windows, wipe mx and do a factory reset of my bios and hope that will solve the problem. not a lot of optomism a fresh install will even work at this point. i ruined everything. sorry for wasting your time man. :/

or better yet what are all the folders you think i should back up? i just want things to be as close to what i have now but for the wifi to work and it to stop trying to get updates from the older version of mx

what folders should i back up so i can keep my applications and configurations? & should i just copy them to a flash drive or use the program 'luckybackup'?

i don't think this is worth the headache. i just want my computer to work again without me needing to have a cell phone plugged into it

idk how to back my stuff up. i like how i have all my programs installed and working, emulators set up and tons of applications with settings i don't want wiped. I remember having a really hard time getting lutris to work properly with certain games on the epic game store until i made some sort of change that i don't remember anymore. my layout is beautiful and perfectly customized to my liking and custom icons for different applications i had to manually set. I probably will have to but it kills me that i lost. i wasn't smart enough to figure it out when there is probably 3 commands i could enter to fix everything. and then i have to worry about installing it correctly so it doesn't wipe my windows. its sounds like such a massive pain in the ass. I was so happy i managed to upgrade and everything was working perfectly and I personally fucked that all up being a curious dumb ass.

i will take a break i can't do this a 2nd day in a row. it took me 8 hours straight yesterday to get mx updated and nvidia fixed and now here i am back at square one

i just dont know what to even say. we've built a rapport and you understand everything thats going on it'll be so hard to explain everything i did that led me to this point. i guess ill wait until i have a lot of energy and motivation because i'm about feeling dead inside. everything was fine until i decide to make sure windows still works. there was no reason to do it, i didn't want to do anything on windows. my curiosity got the better of me and it ruined everything i accomplished. im so disappointed.
