This just reinforces why I chose lemm.ee to be my chosen instance. I think what you had to say here was well worded, as well as I feel it aligns with how I would want to handle it should I be in charge. Thank you for creating this instance, and thank you for the explanation of your stance. You nailed it, a lot can be handled with proper communication. And going nuclear and completely defederating I would agree should be a last resort.
Not that I have the knowledge, experience, or tools to really tinker with this; but I do look forward to what others may do with this!
Please elaborate on how this is "ironic"
By offering this as a bonus doesn't take away the offline installers and DRM Free content you buy from them.
It isn't being forced, and it isn't costing extra, so what's the issue?
Appreciate the advice. I have tried to do sudo pacman -Rns for mangohud, however, the configuration files seem to be stuck somewhere. I can't seem to figure it out. Even after removing the specific config files I have found, the issues persist. I stopped using goverlay, and managed to manually trigger configs I wanted to use. And that worked alright.
Thank you!
You have a reading comprehension problem. First comment I left you was friendly. Bye, you won't be missed.
"Looking to shit on your day" that's rich lol
Instead of being a knob end, you could have approached the conversation differently. You added nothing to the discussion. You lashed out to someone discussing their experiences because you got offended. Grow thicker skin, grow up, go touch grass. No need to take out your frustrations on folks having a civil discussion until your juvenile ass behavior stunk it all up.
Get a grip bud.
Got it, being bored means you are going to be a tool. Got it. Have the day you deserve.
Stating issues with Teams on Linux isn't blaming Linux by default.
Can’t participate in Microsoft Teams calls if the input and output audio devices are the same device or the call disconnects/reconnects every few seconds. Microphone and speaker must be separate devices for optimal experience.
How is this laying blame on anyone? It wasn't blaming Linux, or blaming Microsoft, or blaming anyone. It was a statement of what issues they were having.
You are not taking too kindly based on inferences you have made. Are you sincerely this dense?
Stating issues you have with something isn't "shitting" on anything.
I use Linux, and have for many years, but that doesn't make it perfect or free of issues.
I don't care to read a "defense" from you. We don't need gatekeeping, belittling, or general arrogance in any Linux community. This isn't an attack, this is simply a friendly reminder to do better.
After reading the following thread: If you don't have anything of value to add, why comment?
What one person views as a problem/inconvenience will vary from person to person. Just because you have 25 years of experience doesn't mean you get to dictate what constitutes as a problem or inconvenience for another.
Not sure when I will see this update. On arch, and have checked for pacman updates (and via yay aur helper) and I am still on 6.0.5. Hmmmm....
Avoid any machine with an Nvidia graphics card for Linux. It's more hassle than it's worth. Source: my experience.
However, I have good luck with most laptops that have Intel integrated graphics. Specifically Lenovo machines. I am not exactly sure what budget you have, but you can get a second hand Lenovo machine that would work quite well.
If you don't care about it being fully open source/libre, then from my experience you likely won't have much issue with Wifi either.
As far as what you are wanting to use it for, you could get away with something fairly low powered. Depending on your preferences, I would suggest a number of distros for that purpose:
Fedora, it's been a good distro in my experience. They offer different spins of it with different desktop environments. I personally love KDE, but you could go with Gnome too.
As far as hardware goes, if you are unsure about a machine being usable with linux, I would check here: https://linux-hardware.org/
Hope this helps!
even after renaming MangoHud.conf to MangoHud.conf.old in ~/.config/MangoHud/ And launch a game with MangoHud, it does work. However, where would the config be if it doesn't show up in ~/.config/MangoHud/
That's what I am trying to figure out, the Readme and Archwiki don't have the paths I am looking for.

I am having issues with Mangohud and Goverlay.
Upon opening Goverlay it gives a black box and has issues closing without forcing it shutdown.

I have tried uninstalling both Goverlay and Mangohud
I have also removed .conf files from: ~/.config/MangoHud /usr/share/doc/mangohud
Is there more that I need to do to clean uninstall and reinstall?
Any help would be appreciated
Thank you! Won't be able to test until later tonight, but will report back if it does fix, and share what more I may have had to do in the off chance it could help someone else.
Thank you for the suggestion! I will likely get the 555 driver installed. I was leaning towards it being an Nvidia issue. I will look into the proper way to replace it with the beta driver.
I am using the Proprietary DKMS driver, 550 (forget numbers after) and I realize my post got cut off of all of the info I put. I don't want to switch to the Nouveau driver because of performance issues I had.
Having issues with the display when waking up resolution and position is reverting on one of the monitors.

Unsure of how to go about this. I am using Display Port (unsure of what version but it supports sound too.) Not sure where to look for logs, or what exactly could be the culprit.
Any suggestions?
The only thing that I have ever had break my Arch install was Nvidia Drivers. I wish I could afford replacing my 3090 with something equal or better to it from AMD.
I love buying music of artists I find on Bandcamp. I get lossless quality audio, and I get to support the artist. Granted, it is best to do the bandcamp fridays because more money goes to the artist.
However I hate that Epic now owns Bandcamp, and has for a while.
Will Zygisk + PIF + Shsmiko hide LSPosed?
Currently I am passing safetynet/integrity checks with root on LineageOS 21, if I install Pixel Xpert and LSPosed_mod will I nerd any thing else to continue to pass the checks?
I used to use Hide My App List to help hide root/LSPosed. Is this still necessary?
Hello everyone!
A lot has happened since my last post, specifically talking about my LineageOS inquiries. I had a string of bad luck and broke the digitizer but no cracks to my Pixel 7 Pro.
So I ended up "upgrading" to the Pixel 8 Pro because the store I went to only had the 8 Pro and not the 7 Pro in stock and it was dire that I have a phone.
So this leads me to my next questions:
What is your favorite Android spin for your Pixel Device?
---
I have used GrapheneOS, LineageOS, and Stock Android (of various versions on my Pro 7)
This leads me down the rabbit hole of deciding which experience I want on my Pixel 8 Pro.
---
I have GrapheneOS on my 8 Pro right now because I wanted to see if I could make it fit my needs, and I am leaning towards it not working for me. Since I switched, android auto is not connecting even following the instructions GrapheneOS has to offer.
AdAway (nonroot) is not working on GrapheneOS, as it just kills any internet connection to everything on GrapheneOS. So that's another point against me wanting to stick with GrapheneOS.
No AFwall+. Another point against it.
---
It appears that CalyxOS is going to give me a similar experience with issues related to the ones I mentioned with GrapheneOS.

I had considered trying out LineageOS for microG but unsure if this is the route I want to go because I am unsure if some of the apps I will rely on will work for various reasons. (Mainly unsure if MicroG will suffice for them.)

I am open to other options to, and would love to hear what you are using!

Thank you!
Hello! Longtime Android user here.
I am currently using LineageOS 21 on my Pixel 7 Pro, however after rooting and running a few Magisk modules I have been having issues with overheating.
So what I planned to do is build LineageOS myself, and use a custom kernel.
One of these:
---
Some follow up questions:
-
Will this break using banking apps because of custom kernel? (even with Chiteroman's PIF, Zygisk, and Shamiko?)
-
However, I am unsure if I build LineageOS 21 with one of these custom kernels if I will be required to build each update with the custom kernel, or if the updater would update my build.
---
I am open to suggestions on how to solve my thermal issues if anyone has any.
Thank you!
Edit: more questions
As the title states, I have used Nova launcher for years. As it is the most feature rich, most customizable launcher that supports basically everything I could need from it. However I am looking to switch away from it.
What launchers are you all using?
I have tried a handful of them and none quite fit the bill. And one feature nova has but no other launcher seems to is invaluable to me; that feature being able to swipe up or down on an app on the home screen to launch another app or task. It's how I keep my main page from being cluttered.
I have tried Neo Launcher which I love, but it doesn't seem to be updated anymore.
I have also tried:
-
Trebuchet - I am on LineageOS 21
So the only option I am feeling is gonna work is Nova but I am trying to ditch as many closed source, data thieving apps and services as possible.
I could however just use AFWall+ to block internet connection.
Any suggestions?
So, I am making the switch to using Arch full time instead of Windows.
Here is the rundown:
I have windows installed on one NVME and installed Arch on another NVME. After installing Arch on the one drive, and rebooting Arch hung at loading initial ramdisk. It never completed, I force shutdown my PC.
I went back into bios, and there wasn't an entry for my Arch drive whatsoever.
In fact, before this happened I had all bootable drives go missing from within my bios.
So, after the reboot, I left the boot options default, and it did in fact boot to windows.

Other potentially important details:
I used archinstall rather than walking through manually.
UEFI
Secureboot off
GRUB bootloader
Unified Kernel Images on
Luks encrypted BTRFS partitions
Audio Pipewire
Kernels: Linux and Linux-Zen
Network Manager
Hardware:
CPU: i7-12700KF
Motherboard: TUF GAMING Z690-PLUS WIFI D4
GPU: EVGA GeForce RTX 3090 FTW3
RAM: Corsair VENGEANCE® RGB PRO 16GB (x4)
PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 GT 1000W
Drives: 1tb WD Black SN750 (Drive intended for Arch to be installed on)
1tb Samsung 980 Pro (Drive windows is installed on)
2tb Samsung 980 Pro (separate data drive)

Should I remove my windows drive while installing Arch on another drive?
Rather, what would be the best approach to this?
Could anyone provide any help regarding this?

Edit: More details
2024 will be the year I finally be the year I ditch windows.
I am not exactly new to linux, yet I am far from an expert. I made my journey over the years form trying Ubuntu (many many major revisions ago) and have found myself down the rabbit hole of going Arch. I run Arch with KDE on my laptop. I want to fully ditch Windows on my desktop, however I feel this will be a much bigger hurdle to overcome.
Build Specs: i7-12700KF Copper Modded EVGA RTX 3090 64gb of 3600mhz DDR4 ASUS Tuf Z690 Wifi D4
I could go into more detail about my specs, but the specs aren't what has made this journey a bit tougher. I use a Line 6 Helix and a Line 6 PowerCab 112+ and both have usb connections to my computer for integration with, you guessed it; windows or mac software only. Now I don't have a problem running wine, and a number of other solutions to run windows programs, I do however have a gap in knowledge in order to try to use these specific programs with specific USB peripherals.
Now, I am not sure if this is the best way, but I had heard the idea of USB passthrough. And I have no clue where to begin with that. Would this be the direction I should be going for programs such as those?
The only other software that I am going to struggle replacing is the RGB lighting software for all of my hardware. Most of it is corsair (Fans, RAM, Water Cooler, and plugins for the asus motherboard.) And my Steeleseries keyboard which uses GG.
I have looked into using OpenRGB but I was unable to figure out how to get those setup as it wasn't as plug and play as the manufacturer software, but understandably of course.
The absolute biggest hurdles is my Nvidia problem. I have always had issues with Nvidia on Arch. I would gladly take an suggestion. For reference, I would be using this mainly for my gaming. I occasionally dabble in Stable Diffusion.
I will be running Arch with KDE preferably, but every single time I have had issues.
---
I suppose any feedback anyone may have would be helpful.
---
Checklist of things I need to get working on in Arch, any help would be welcomed:
- Helix Guitar pedal and PowerCab 112+ (USB Passthrough or any other alternatives people may suggest)
- RGB for SteeleSeries Apex Pro (GG software on windows, open to alternatives)
- RGB for Corsair (iQue on windows, open to alternatives)
- Nvidia Drivers
