Strit

Imagine the feeling when “you just click the .exe and everything installs itself” works for everyone but you. It doesn’t matter that downloading executables from random websites is way worse than a proper package manager in pretty much every way.

If this is your aim, you can’t really do that with Linux. Better stick with Windows in this case, as that’s the only place where this works.

So Alpaca still gives functional answers if you turn off your internet connection?

In the end the creator of the game kindly send me links to AUR packages that other people had done for his other projects so I could see what they had done and I did and did the same, which was to put the files in the locations recommended by the specs like /etc and /usr, and to added a post-install message telling the user to copy/paste some commands to copy the files in $HOME. It’s a bit clunky but I guess it works 🥳

Curious, if it was the tui-mines and tui-sudoku packages you took inspiration from? If that’s the case, then those are packages I maintain.

I chose to do some AUR packages, because I wanted to learn how to package for Arch, packaging guidelines and get a routine going.

I believe the reason to not mess with $HOME in packaging, is because of security. $HOME is the users private stash. To put stuff in there, from packaging, means you invade their private space and users should be able to decide what they want “dumped” in there. So just installing a package, should not put stuff in a users home folder.

Bluetooth is not secure. OP is not looking for security, just bluetooth audio.

Because they went about it the wrong way. They made their own distro, their own office suite etc. I believe they would have been successful, if they just used already existing stuff, instead of reinventing the wheel and taking on all the development obligations.

What Schleswig-Holstein is doing, is using en established distro, with established office suite and established cloud solution. They only maintain the servers and maybe patch-fix issues, which they could then upstream.

Firefox disables some 3d acceleration stuff on Linux, where it’s enabled by default on Windows.

So look through your about:config about:support for any acceleration stuff that’s disabled. You might be able to enable them.

While that is true, what you where trying to do was change the system with the way you installed Battle.net. Bazzite i sreally all about Steam and you then add flatpaks on top, since that’s all handled in your home folder.

But I’m glad you found out the solution with the home folder yourself. :)

Bazzite is a SteamOS-like distribution. SteamOS is immutable, meaning most of the OS is read-only and have fixed updates.

So what you are doing is not really what Bazzite is made for.

I think it would have been an easier journey if you got Fedora or even Ubuntu, as those are normal filesystem distributions.

Have you tried without the ftp:// part. eg. curlftpfs ftp-user:ftp-pass@my-ftp-location.local /mnt/my_ftp/

My systems are all on btrfs, so I make use of subvolumes and use brkbk to backup snapshots to other locations.

You can install a flatpak plugin for the GNOME software center and use that to update everything. It does debs, snaps, firmware and flatpaks for me on my work laptop.

Wouldn’t a high contrast dark theme do something like that?

I don’t have any sources, just anecdotal evidence. I work in an IT department for a large company and we see components give up because the machine runs stressful tasks for long periods of time.

Interesting results…

I would not recommend you heat your room/house this way, as it takes a huge toll on the PC hardware. It’s not really designed for creating heat, like the radioators are, so the components might “burn out” if stressed for long periods of time.

I’m not a Kubuntu expert or even user, so I will just list op the general steps.

Boot into the live USB and unlock the encrypted drive. Make sure you have an internet connection too. Then chroot (change root) into the OS drive you decrypted and look at the logs from last update or even boot logs if posisble to determine what went wrong during the update. If possible fix the issue and complete a full update again (apt update & apt upgrade). Hopefully that should fix it.

Does your PC have any known hardware that requires proprietary drivers, like Nvidia or Broadcom?

AUR package maintainers are not the same as Arch repo package maintainers. Anyone can be an AUR package maintainer.

They actually got a GTK3 based release out before GTK3 went EOL. Congratulations!

Can they update ti GTK4 based before that goes EOL? :D

Because no Package Maintainer wants to maintain it, is my guess.

Just to clarify. You system is not bricked. Bricked means that it can’t boot anything. It sounds like the update is not working correctly (eg the kernel is not fully loading).

You have two options:

1. Try to repair the current broken install (can be difficult depending on skill level)
2. Backup your data and “nuke’n’pave”, eg re-install it all.

Both options require a live USB with your distro on it (preferably the new version).

There seems to be links to some learning materials for it at the website.

As it is just a test (multiple choice and written text) I don’t think there are any preperation tests for it.
