I can always get the media again if need be.

Doesn't that mean you already have backup? It may not be the easiest to restore, but it is a backup nevertheless.

I like to think a subvolume is a directory on my filesystem that:

  • Acts as an independent filesystem.
  • Shares it's parent size (unless quotas are set in place)
  • Can be mounted/unmounted any time
  • Excluded from their parent partition's snapshots. (a /home subvolume is exluded from / snapshots).
  • Can be snapshot-ed independently.

This is by no mead a definition for BTRFS subvolume, but I hope you get the idea.

One EFI + one ROOT partition is what I do on both my laptop and desktop for years, /home is a subvolume to my root partition. This setup suits my needs as I don't have to worry about how big should my root or home (gaming) partition should be.

I use Arch on my desktop and Opensuse on my laptop. They both have options to set up subvolumes from their installer, Debian does not, and I'm not sure about other distros, but you can always set that up after installation, just make your home partition the last one (after the root partition) so you can easily delete it after and grow the root partition without much blocks relocation.

No problem here with Opensuse slowroll (Sway WM) and a Realtek bluetootth radio, I'm using blueman for managing enabling/managing bluetooth connections.

Prepare for a few headaches with anything that is running through ea craps. I had quite a few with titanfall 2. Everytime ea launcher updates, break the game and I have to delete (just rename as a backup measurement) the game prefix directory so proton would rebuild it again.

The game prefix directory (if that is how it's called) is located in ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/

The game id is in the url of the game page in steam (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1237970/Titanfall_2). That makes it 1237970 for titanfall 2

47.56+41.23+1.36+5.28 = 95.43

Is it safe to assume the rest (4.57) is coming from desktop linux users? If so, that would add up to 9.85%.l of linux users.

  • Laptop: Opensuse slowroll with Sway
  • Home PC: Arch with KDE
  • Home server: Debian 12 (headless)

Xrdp with it default configuration on debain12 worked for me pretty fine to access it from windows 7's remote desktop protocol on a local network. There was no sound though, so you may need to tweak it to use pipewire or whatever you are using on your linux machine, if you are using any.

Probably to drop support for xorg. Plasma 6 is going to be wayland by default, while xfce is slow when it comes to wayland adoption

[–] mhz@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

I could be wrong, but i think that was probably on the alpha release, which is now the beta release, so maybe the next stable release will have wayland by default.

Dejavu is the right font for me for both ebglush and arabic letters.
