Ah now I understand the purpose. I only use it for my (personal) dotfiles, which as a term is ambiguous at best, but in my case I mean config files. That was how I essentially misread your title. Obviously all those files are owned by my user, and most live in ~/.config or similar locations beneath my home directory. Things like application preferences, basically.

Obviously your tool also works for this, but I now understand it’s more meant for system wide config files.

I’m also just using GNU stow into a git repo. It needs no configuration file and just works on any system. Rolling out a new system takes 2 commands. I really don’t see the need for a specialized tool for this use case.

You guys have avatars? Too much effort…

Can’t you have them be added to the pack? Open a pr or something?

I’ve been using Zellij whenever I can cause tmux is so limited. It’ll also be probably years before this release hits Debian repos, so if I’m having to manually install a binary, might as well get something modern.

But the USA seems to use PEMDAS? I’m confused now…

You can try to refund anyway, and explain the reason in the text box. Has worked for me in the past. There are actually people reading these as far as I can tell. If it didn’t work, all it cost was life 3 minutes.

You can use ReVanced to add a block to the android app. It’s as as free as my desktop experience with Firefox+uBlockOrigin.

It’s the same with other vendors though. I man those that allow you to swap internals without losing warranty. Bought my laptop with just a 16g stick (base price/included), then bought 2x24g for the price one additional 16g module would’ve cost. And now I got a 16g module left over, too.

I only have one entry in there, which is for /boot. The others are implicit anyway since I’m using ZFS. The boot entry is needed afaik, as there are multiple efi-type partitions in the system.

If that is necessary depends on your BIOS/MoBo. I did have to on mine. But the effort for a normal CachyOS install is t really like 5 minutes: boot into live iso, enter ‘cachy-chroot’ or whatever the command is, follow instructions on screen. Then just reinstall grub and/or kernel (which regenerates initramfs). There’s a wiki entry and pinned posts in discord for this whole thing. Ask in discord if you get stuck, they are incredibly responsive and helpful.

Once you’ve done it, you’ll notice it’s really no big deal. Btw. “Losing” your Linux install is very hard. It’s not as fragile as Windows. You can bork things, but they can usually be un-borked as well. The only real way is fully deleting partitions or their contents, which you can’t just do accidentally.

Especially just moving it to a new host can’t break it, you just need to get it to boot. Once you know how, it’s like 5 minutes. You can take the drive from a 20 year old PC, pop it into a modern system and it’ll work fine (assuming the system is semi-updated). Windows has a hard time moving to a different MoBo or platform. Linux doesn’t care. Drivers aren’t ‘installed’ like they are in Windows. They are just in the kernel available to be used. Almost everything is detected fresh on every boot, making this incredibly robust. As I said, you might just have to fiddle a bit to get it to boot, once it does, it’ll just work fine.

This is actually not even necessary. The systems are similar enough it’ll just work. I have recently swapped an SSD from a laptop to a newer model with CachyOS, and that was more of a generational jump in terms of cpu and other hardware.

But CachyOS has a quirk. Linux systems specify which partitions are mounted to which directories in the /etc/fstab file. Unfortunately, the boot partition is specified using a device name and not a UUID. this is problematic when switching an SSD from a system to another as this may very well change device names. It did for me and I then had to rescue boot + chroot to fix it.

The fix, if done before, is trivial: edit the line for /boot in that file to start with UUID= (followed by the actual UUID of the partition) instead of with /dev/nvme0n1p1 or whatever the current device name is. Google should be able to tell you how to find the UUID of your boot partition.

Thankfully this isn’t allowed for new devices being sold in the EU anymore. They are required to have a per-device individual password now. Hopefully this effectively causes the practice to at least become much less common globally. After all, if you’ve setup the needed manufacturing steps, there’s little sense in skipping them depending on a target region.

Or if you have separated your devices into subnets/VLANs. Which becomes more important as your get more hardware that you don’t really trust.

I had blocked the user, might have been before writing my reply. I guess that caused it to fail to the top level, weird. Deleted the comment as it doesn’t make any sense there.

Might want to calculate out what the actual number is those “small” 3% represent. Or how the curve looks over time. how it changed from a mostly flat line to a very clearly and relatively steeply climbing curve.

CachyOS is basically vanilla Arch, from a resource point of view. They have their own repos, but they just mirror the arch repos. The arch wiki fully applies. For the very few special things, there is documentation (basically a few notes on gaming related performance options).

So why use it? Carter it’s trivial to install, and everything you need is preconfigured to just work with sane defaults. Installing it is like Mint or Ubuntu. But it uses optimized repos according to your available CPU instruction set, and optimized proton and wine (their own). Games just work (even more so than they already do generally), and are faster. Programs are faster (where it matters). But you don’t need to do anything for that, it’s just there by default.

I would personally suggest looking into CachyOS or Manjaro.

They can’t sell this at a loss, or at least it would be incredibly risky. This is (intentionally) “just a PC”. It ships with SteamOS but you can of course install whatever you want, including windows. If it is (much) cheaper than a roughly equivalent normal PC, companies might just start buying them in bulk but obviously not generating the supporting sales needed.
