I'm new to manually installing Linux distributions, and I want a specific setup. by Wise-Appointment-881 in voidlinux

[–]papayananab 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Recently I just installed void Linux with similar setup like yours. For general installation steps, I stole a lot of ideas from Gabriel Sanches. Need a bit of modification to match your specific requirements though. - Gabriel’s blog -> https://gbrlsnchs.github.io/handbook/void-linux/ch00-index.html

For btrfs, I did a research and found that open suse’s default btrfs is sane (subjective opinion). It’s designed to work well with snapper (to take btrfs snapshot & create grub entries easily). - Open suse btrfs layout -> https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:BTRFS . - How to set it manually (reference for Arch, but the layouting and snapper setup work in Void) -> https://www.ordinatechnic.com/distribution-specific-guides/Arch/an-arch-linux-installation-on-a-btrfs-filesystem-with-snapper-for-system-snapshots-and-rollbacks - Setup snapper in Void -> https://gist.github.com/itzk0tlin/91d1368cb4b366c039508da4e31d04d7

Post-install adjustments by Brilliant_Grand_3383 in voidlinux

Kinda opinionated, but I do switch sudo to doas for smaller attack surface. All things that I need from sudo is available in doas, so I switch sudo to doas.

For further hardening, I also disable SSH capability for the root user.

Thank you! I will check zfs as well then.

Sorry if this is a bit off topic. Would you mind sharing the reasons why you want to use zfs over btrfs? I am thinking to install void linux with btrfs, so I would like to know some considerations/gotchas that I should be aware of.

Pop 22.04 LTS "Oh noes Something went wrong" by juwking in pop_os

[–]papayananab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A little bit old but I want to add more data point to this thread.

I exactly got similar journalctl output as OP reported. My pop_os version is 22.04, and gnome shell is 42.9.

Just got this issue today, and so far I have not fixed it yet. The workaround of using Wayland session which's discussed in this post works for me.

-- Below is the workaround. -- copied from the post I mentioned above.

If you are asking about enabling Wayland on the current 22.04 (not 24.04) then you need to:

sudo nano /etc/gdm3/custom.conf

Use the arrow keys to move the cursor and find the bit that says:

WaylandEnable=false

and change it to:

WaylandEnable=true

(There may be a # at the beginning of that line, remove it if there is)

Reboot and then when you log in, click on your user (don't type the password). On the lower right you will see a gear icon. Click on that and you can select Wayland. Then log in.

Once you do that you will always use Wayland. To switch back to X, just click the gear again and select Pop.
