No.

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

Why I shouldn't use Discover on Arch (Plasma) ? in c/linux4noobs@programming.dev
[โ€“] gpstarman 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Yeah. Not like this ๐Ÿ‘‡

someone from reddit ๐Ÿ‘‡

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. ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

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?

Why I shouldn't use Discover on CachyOS (Plasma) ? in c/cachyos@sopuli.xyz
[โ€“] gpstarman 1 points 3 months 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.

Consequences of Removing Edge? in c/windows11@lemmy.world

Thank you.

I neither have surround sound support nor use Netflix app and MS Store. So, I guess it's not a problem for me.

[SOLVED] What I can delete on my EFI partition? (self.linux4noobs)
submitted 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) by gpstarman to c/linux4noobs@programming.dev

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 ๐Ÿ˜…

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)

I installed CachyOS with BTRFS, LUKS2 , REFIND.

After successful installation I'm not seeing any prompt for password nor the linux boot entry on refind.

Note: I didn't do any lvm or raid.

What should I do?

Solved

I just forgot to create a boot partition ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

[SOLVED] Can I delete BTRFS snapshots from middle? (self.archlinux)

Let's say i made 10 snapshots on top of the base.

Now can i delete snap no. 5? Will the snaps after 5 will be affected?

Solved

Yes, one can delete consecutive snapshots. The data won't be deleted unless all snaps ( reference points ) get deleted.

Note: If you delete the original file and delete all the snapshots made when the file is still there, the file will get deleted permanently.

Changing the location of BTRFS snapshots ? (self.btrfs)

Can I change the location of BTRFS snapshots. I installed CachyOS, and it automatically setup BTRFS subvols.

This is the layout ๐Ÿ‘‡

ID gen parent top level path
258 1773 5 5 @root
259 1601 5 5 @srv
260 1789 5 5 @cache

266 1427 378 378 @home/.snapshots
377 1797 5 5 @
378 1797 5 5 @home

According to Arch wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Snapper#Creating_a_new_configuration

Create a subvolume at /path/to/subvolume/.snapshots where future snapshots for this configuration will be stored. A snapshot's path is /path/to/subvolume/.snapshots/#/snapshot, where # is the snapshot number.

From which I understand that if I created a snap of /home (@home), it will save in /home/.snapshots (@home/.snapshots).

So, CachyOS configured to save snaps to separate subvol.

But, what I want to do is, Instead of just saving it in separate subvol, i want snaps to be saved on different btrfs partition. Maybe @home/.snapshots but on different partition.

Is that possible ?
