Idk what's wrong

Idk what's wrong - sh.itjust.works

okay so. First, some flatpak apps don’t work and steam apps. “[3:0525/050733.777905:ERROR:bus.cc(407)] Failed to connect to the bus: Failed to connect to socket /run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory LaunchProcess: failed to execvp: xdg-settings” And then the first paragraph just repeats like 5 times for this app. It does not open I have no idea what /run/dbus/system_bus_socket is I know it is not a file nor a directory, it’s just there when I do ls on the directory it could be a lik or something but idk about that, when I see it with properties in thunar it just says “kind:socket” so that makes sense ig. It says /etc/runit/runsvdir/default/dbus/run is in use by that socket too. besides that other apps like bottles open but just don’t work (I think that’s unrelated and a graphical issue tho idk), it does nothing when I try to do stuff and flatpak is full of interrogation marks despite me installing like a bunch of font packages. so idk Also wine is extremely laggy for some reason when it isn’t on other distros on the same pc. I also noticed something about dri3 so I searched it up and apparently I have no /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d idk if that’s normal when doing “grep DRI3 /var/log/Xorg.0.log” it just shows “[ 15.639] (II) Initializing extension DRI3” when doing “xdpyinfo | grep DRI” it says “DRI2”. Thanks if anyone can help me cuz I am a bit tired of just “running blindly” because idk how else to say that, I just clearly have no idea of what i’m doing I mean.

I’ve been playing more demanding games on my #VoidLinux Hack #SteamMachine. There is a way to get #Steam to recognize all the buttons and gyro of a #FlydigiApex5. Add

KERNEL=="hidraw*", SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", ATTRS{idVendor}=="37d7", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2501", MODE="0666"

to `/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/60-steam-input.rules`, then reboot. You need Windows to enable the feature, but then it works on Linux. Source: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/12534

Here's a little chatty video where I show off my current experimentation with the XFCE desktop environment.

Video length is about four and a half minutes.

I removed some of the panels and panel items. Replace the menu with Rofi launcher. Added tiling features to XFCE with the 'coretile' program.

did you know hyprland is not available by default on void linux? it's because for some reason void devs have some beef with the owner of hyprland, therefore they literally refused their package!

i already despite dealing with linux but if it's for the babies to cry at themselves and doing some censorship shenanigans it ain't getting better.

#cachyos Veo mucha gente feliz con esto y me parece genial. Soy usuario de Linux desde Slackware 1.0 y hoy tengo unas 15 máquinas corriendo #VoidLinux.

Pero quiero marcar algo que se repite mucho sobre CachyOS y no siempre es real: eso de “reemplazo de Windows 11”.

En mi PC principal, Windows 11 funciona perfecto. CachyOS no. Y no hablo de una PC rara: simplemente hardware viejo que todavía sirve. Entonces cuesta llamarlo “reemplazo” cuando el sistema más pesado del mercado corre bien y una distro moderna no.

Entiendo que el hardware avanza y que Linux también apunta a tecnologías nuevas, pero antes Linux tenía algo muy fuerte: revivir máquinas viejas.

Hace años, cuando un amigo tenía una PC lenta, la respuesta era:
“Poné Linux y vuela”.

Lamentablemente, siento que parte de eso se fue perdiendo.

The default XFCE theme on Void Linux looks good. The Void Linux live USB also booted really fast.

The PClinuxOS live USB for XFCE seemed to take forever to boot. Progress bar got about half way after several minutes and I just gave up. Void booted into XFCE in what seemed like just a few seconds.

The installer on Void is not as easy to use as the Artix installer.

Void is similar to Artix in that it is also a rolling release distro, but doesn't have the high frequency of package updates that Arch (Artix) does. So it is a much more stable rolling distro that doesn't require multi-gigabyte downloads for updates every week.

XFCE is the only desktop option provided on a live USB installer by Void Linux.

Note: I had to install the 'fastfetch' and 'scrot' packages on the live boot to be able to take this screenshot.

🤔 je me suis lancé dans l'écriture d'un petit programme en c qui pourrait être un simple script shell mais c'est histoire de refaire un peu de code après un certain temps d'abandon, un truc que je n'ai pas vu venir c'est que sous #openBSD le programme terminait avec un code de retour 133 et un magnifique message Trace/BTP trap (core dumped), j'ai essayé le programme sur #freeBSD #netBSD #debianLinux et #voidLinux aucun de ces OS ne m'ont retourné d'erreur. Je viens de résoudre mon problème sur openBSD simplement en passant les arguments classiques int argc, char *argv[ ] à la fonction main ce que je ne faisais pas avant et qui passe crème sur les autres OS🤷

Тут намедни один товарщи задавал вопрос о целесообразности установки #Gentoo. В ответе своём упомянул, что пакеты можно собирать локальнно и в #VoidLinux, но без такой тонкой конфигурации а-ля USE-флаги.

Вторым аргументом ЗА стала кофигурация ядра под себя. Теперь я заинтересовался и этим у себя в Void. Процесс в виде вкл/выкл галочки, сохранения конфига.

Много не знакомых параметров, как бы чего не сломать, отключив только лишнее. Посмотрим, что из этого выйдет … 🧐

Okay, nerds, I'm thinking about moving from #Debian to #VoidLinux ; I've daily-driven Debian for over a decade now, and mostly have no problems with it. I've just been increasingly leery of systemd, which now is rearing its ugly head (in admittedly an unexpected way) with the whole age-verification thing; runit does seem much less Lovecraftian.

I installed Void just for the heck of it a couple of years ago on an old/underpowered netbook style laptop, and it seemed just fine, but I didn't use it much or rely on it for anything.

I run sway as my VM with just a couple of custom programs as a sort of nod to a "desktop environment".

Is there anybody out there who has experience with both who wants to either reassure me or scare me off? Any advice would be appreciated.
