Linux Mint isn't the answer for Windows refugees anymore

It's still good, but not the best.

1:50pm Snapper by Clark Terry from Terry, Clark: Having Fun

Yellowtail snapper are common in the Caribbean, but I felt like they were following me on this trip. Every time I stopped to take a photo, I looked over my shoulder and there was a snapper watching what I was up to.

I wanted to automatically make boot options for snapper snapshots and ended up making these

https://codeberg.org/grafcube/uki-efi-boot
https://codeberg.org/grafcube/uki-snapper

uki-efi-boot automatically scans directories in your esp for efi executables and adds entries to your UEFI boot options while uki-snapper automatically creates boot entries/UKIs for snapper snapshots.

It has been working flawlessly so far. I use secure boot so I have to configure uki-snapper to build new images for each snapshot so I configured it to generate no more than 2 to fit in my esp. It also only works on arch right now since it depends on mkinitcpio but contributions to expand support are very welcome.

I hope someone finds these scripts useful

They're available on the AUR as well.

A simple utility that automatically scans for efi executables creates boot entries for them in the UEFI boot menu

I have developed and released a tool for graphically managing #Btrfs / #Snapper snapshots.
This is a #Qt 6/ #QML graphical tool utilizing D-Bus and PolicyKit.

I found out what broke my system some weeks ago... /etc/grub.d/00_header contains non-POSIX compliant "function" keyword, and for some reason the files in /etc/grub.d were concatenated and replaced my /etc/default/grub, which caused the #grub reconfiguration to fail after a kernel update! Because #VoidLinux uses the dash shell by default, and for some reason that 00_header script, owned by the grub package, is written for #bash apparently.
I don't even know who to report this to, is it even a bug? A bug in GRUB2, perhaps? Or should Void packages be the ones to handle this? Why was my /etc/default/grub replaced in the first place (perhaps its something to do with #snapper??)

Anyway, the temporary(?) solution I've found is to copy someone's /etc/default/grub file from #AskUbuntu: https://askubuntu.com/a/829325

They had the same issue as me 9 years ago, but it was never explained, and I think I may have figured it out now. IIRC, Ubuntu also uses the dash shell.

"sudo update-grub" failing with "function: not found"

Running sudo update-grub on my 14.04.4 gets the following /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig: 38: /etc/default/grub: function: not found Here is my /etc/default/grub it appears to be complaining about function

Ask Ubuntu

This is pretty cool, would love to see this integrated in a distro. (maybe #NixOS? but it's also very close to what #Snapper does.)
"When I type ounce nano /etc/samba/smb.conf (I actually alias $EDITOR='ounce --trace $EDITOR'), ounce knows that it's smart and I'm dumb, and it sees that I just edited /etc/samba/smb.conf a few short minutes ago, because it uses seccomp and eBPF to trace all the file open calls my $EDITOR makes, and uses httm to check whether I have any un-snapshot-ed changes. If I do, it takes a snapshot before I edit the file again."
