Anyone jump ship to nix/guix after arch? How autistic is it? What do you miss?

why is opensuse YaST not just integrated with the rest of the GUIs?
can it be made that way?

is it possible to set linux mint to maximize a window when i drag it to the top of the screen like on windows?

Hey so I recently built from source a build of ungoogled chromium for i686 capable machines on void linux but when I run the install for the xbps package I get a sha256 hash is not valid error. Is there a way to bypass sha256 errors on void linux? Thanks

I wanted to try GUIX out, but lisp frightens me.

wtf is going on?

>no such file or directory
the .xbps package file might be missing (not properly installed to the local repo) or corrupt
try to locate it and check that you can at least list the files with "tar -tvf"
i don't use void anymore so i forgot where it puts them
also you left your name in

how do you feel about women lurking your thread to figure out how to work their own os
(I'm not a girl btw it's purely hypothetical)

dont use nvidia's .run binaries, download the drivers packaged for your distro.

Never heard my desktop coil whine before today while booting mint. Have been using windows on it since 2018 and recently been dual booting arch and before that endeavor
Today, I wanted to move to mint because just werks and for the first time I heard my PC coil whine. It only happens while booting but still. I have a decent PC with an "overkill" psu. This really shouldn't happen. I've maxed out vidya, used stress testing tools and my PC has always stayed dead silent. I spent the whole day distro hopping through debian/Ubuntu based distros and every single one made my PC coil whine on boot. It's really high pitched hard to ignore. Even lighter distros do it. What gives?
Honestly, I think there's just no winning with Linux. I just wanted a platform to code in

Hello, user. Please wait more than 3 seconds before posting so you can see if what you did worked or not.

This is a new one to me
[125931:0214/211922.605378:FATAL:gpu_data_manager_impl_private.cc(439)] GPU process isn't usable. Goodbye.

lol thomas hanCOCK LOL

>Goodbye.
cya space cowboy.

Its just a certain program,so far, thats doing this
I have the desktop brought up and firefox/chromium file manager,ols are all running and not complaining

>wtf is going on?
what are you talking about, retard? running it through your file manager and running it with a terminal will result in the same thing. they are both just shell scripts to install the new driver

LMAO

how do i copy all folders in a directory that start with the letters a-g in cli?

cp a-g* /to/your/destination

That wouldn't be restricted to only directories, though. Maybe something like
find -type d -iname "[a-g]*" -maxdepth 1 -exec cp -r "{}" /targetdir \;
