Viruses & Task Viewers
Hello everybody! I can say I’m a newbie at Linux. Wanted to ask about Linux’ task viewers. On the famous task viewers such as bpytop, htop etc., can viruses hide from them? Excluding the injected codes, can virus & tracker/logger softwares hide from classic task viewers of Linux? Do they show all kinds of services and running tasks?
Fonts are crappy
Hello guys! I’m dealing with a font problem in Inkscape. Not only Inkscape, some apps’ interface fonts are not antialiased / not smooth fonts. That happens on Steam updating mini window too. Idk is it about X11 or not but font are just sharp and looks very bad. How can I smooth it? On KDE Plasma and Arch Linux.
+Visited the AUR site of Arch about librewolf-bin. Executed commands that pinned user recommended. But there is another error.
Used commands
gpg --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com --search-keys 031F7104E932F7BD7416E7F6D2845E1305D6E801
gpg --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com --search-keys 662E3CDD6FE329002D0CA5BB40339DD82B12EF16
The error for both commands
gpg: error searching keyserver: Connection closed in DNS gpg: keyserver search failed: Connection closed in DNS
Do I have anything to do with my ISP? Or only local problem?
Arch PGP not be verified
Hello guys! I have done a fresh install of Arch Linux with KDE. The first thing to do was downloading Librewolf but there is an issue. I used an installation way that is without an AUR helper. And the package named librewolf-bin. System updated, git command executed, changed directory to librewolf-bin, executed the makepkg -si. But it couldn’t verify PGP signatures. > -> Downloading librewolf-126.0-1-linux-x86_64-package.tar.bz2.sig… % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 100 566 100 566 0 0 1257 0 --:–:-- --:–:-- --:–:-- 1260 ==> Validating source files with sha256sums… source … Passed default192x192.png … Passed librewolf.desktop … Passed ==> Validating source_x86_64 files with sha256sums… librewolf-126.0-1-linux-x86_64-package.tar.bz2 … Passed librewolf-126.0-1-linux-x86_64-package.tar.bz2.sig … Skipped ==> Verifying source file signatures with gpg… librewolf-126.0-1-linux-x86_64-package.tar.bz2 … FAILED (unknown public key 8A74EAAF89C17944) ==> ERROR: One or more PGP signatures could not be verified! -end-
ISO verification
Hello guys, I’m using Arch as a newbie. Learning about it. But worried about a thing. When I was creating the bootable media for install it, I downloaded the .iso and .iso.sig from any mirror that is near. I followed the things about verification of .iso but I got some errors and gave up. Just used the iso I didn’t verificated. I am using the OS that iso installed. There is nothing wrong with usage. I can access all the things about Arch, not had any problems and any performance issues. No special internet usage, no broken things etc. but I’m a bit worried about is there any malicious software such as keyloggers, mining softwares… Can I verify my Arch after the installation? Can I see if there is any software malicious via htop-bpytop? Should I create the bootable media again with verification and reinstall my Arch?

Is it really safe?
Hi guys, I was looking for matrix.org [http://matrix.org]’s and Element Client’s privacy policies and I saw something that says Matrix and Element shares data with AWS (Amazon Web Service), Cloudflare, Mythic Beasts, UpCloud. Is it safe to use? The matrix.org [http://matrix.org] has good features as FOSS, decentralized etc. But this seem a lil bad. Any experts about prviacy?

Decision of Next Os
I was Nobara user, then I am using Fedora right now. I want to use things like Hyprland etc. and ya know, Its damn cool to say I am using arch btw. So I’ve decided to use Arch Linux. But everyone says its always breaking and gives problems. That’s because of users, not OS… right? I love to deal with problems but I don’t want to waste my time. Is Arch really problemful OS? Should I use it? I know what to do with setup/ usage, the hardness of Arch is not problem for me but I am just concerned about the mindset “Arch always gets broken”.
