Thank you. Looks like that's the problem.

No.

There is another one on the my custom theme's theme.conf. But, made it a comment it as well.

Unable to hide 'tools' in rEFInd (self.linuxquestions)
 

I want to hide the about tag in rEFInd. So, I did according to the info in config and website, which is to add a showtools line with no options.

And, nothing happens. I still see About, Shutdown, Reboot, Firmware tools in the rEFInd screen

# Default is shell,memtest,gdisk,apple_recovery,windows_recovery,mok_tool,about,hidden_tags,shutdown,reboot,firmware,fwupdate
# To completely disable scanning for all tools, provide a showtools line
# with no options.
#
#showtools shell, bootorder, gdisk, memtest, mok_tool, apple_recovery, windows_recovery, about, hidden_tags, reboot, exit, firmware, fwupdate
showtools

Eventhough the previous showtools line is a just a comment, I removed it too. And still nothing happens.

Does anybody have any idea?

I only want Shutdown, Reboot.

Why I shouldn't use Discover on Arch (Plasma) ? in c/linux4noobs@programming.dev
[–] gpstarman 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Yeah. Not like this 👇

someone from reddit 👇

My big problem with discover is that it is a vertical layout for something usually horizontally oriented across platforms.

There are no banners or large graphics on the home page. Nothing that makes you feel like you're in an overarching meta view of the app and all the apps available to you. Instead the front page is just icons and names, same deal with all the categories. It's just not easy to use to actually find apps, I guess? It feels too much like a package manager or catalogue metaphor and not enough like being in a marketplace?

I guess it's just not easy for some people to understand that not every people like CLI or TUI. 😮‍💨

using the Arch repo websites to help look for packages when I need to.

I mostly use GUI package managers to discover the existence of new apps.

I would say you should backup, timeshift, and try it. You can always do a reinstall if you break something.

Thankfully I use BTRFS.

But, it won't be a problem if I use Discover just for find and install new apps. right?

[–] gpstarman 1 points 1 week ago

You can break your system by mindlessly upgrading arch via gui

I only use Discover for find and install new apps.

For updating, I just use paru.

Thank you for the suggestion. But I think it will be good if it has images of the application like Discover does.

I installed CachyOS with Plasma DE and found it has no discover in it. When I searched on their sub lots of people say that one shouldn't use Discover with any Arch distro as it will break the system. Can anybody clarify why?

Also if I am not supposed to use Discover, can anybody suggest an actual GUI application store? Unlike Octopi (which I consider just as a TUI with check boxes and columns)

Edit: I only use Discover for find and install new apps.

Did they changed the logo? in c/cyberpunk2077@lemmy.world

Did they change the Cyberpunk logo in new versions?

Just started my blind playthrough (no spoilers please) and noticed the cyberpunk logo is different from what I saw before.

Old Cyberpunk 2077 (not 2.0) 👇

New Cyberpunk 2077 (after 2.1) 👇

At first I thought there is something wrong with my GPU driver ot something.

How to Encrypt Drives ? (self.linux4noobs)

This is my disk layout:

500 GB Linux - BTRFS

100 GB Windows - NTFS

400 GB Storage - NTFS (shared between linux and windows)

I want to encrypt everything. For Linux I can use luks2 but what I'm supposed to do for Windows ? (No bitlocker please)

Will veracrypt replace refind boot manager?

Note: I am talking about the one that asks password before boot (full encryption)

[SOLVED] What I can delete on my EFI partition? (self.linux4noobs)

I installed lots of OSs on my PC. The mistake I did was not backing up my EFI partition beforehand.

Now I deleted all the OS except CachyOS (Arch) and Windows.

Now I want to tidy up my EFI partition. I want to delete everything (even rEFInd) except Windows and Default ones like OEM. (I am gonna reinstall CachyOS ) Can anybody please assist me?

I already deleted the obvious ones like ubuntu and fedora. Anything else?

I know this is not necessarily a linux question but anyways 😅

Solved

Before proceeding with any of the following, I STRONGLY suggest you to make a full backup of your ESP (efi) partition.

I deleted everything on boot folder, since I didn't need grub or any of those files ( after searching everything individually on internet)

I deleted refind folder, since I didn't need refind boot manager.

I kept insyde folder, since they are my uefi provider.

I kept OEM , microsoft folders because I need windows and whatever my OEM provides.

I kept tools folder since that's just an empty folder ( I didn't know which OS created it)
