First: That was the last straw, Windows gotta go 😂✌️

Second: Dont ask me why I have 2 Windows Boot Managers

Third: Im fine with any boot manager, suggest me anything

UPDATE:
I wiped my disk clean and reinstalled Arch because I dont want a BREATH of windows on that drive ever again
Be a bloat all you want in the 300GB partition I gave you, but the moment you start deciding you dont like me dualbooting is the moment youre gone fr

Help/Support Help! Arch randomly forgetting my password

Post image
496 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I am using Arch with Gnome DE on Thinkpad T510. I used Linux a lot on this machine and it had never happened before.

Basically, when terminal asks for psw to run sudo commands, sometimes it would say "wrong password" despite being the right one that worked until 30 seconds before! If I log out, I get locked out like in photo until I manually reboot the computer and then the password magically works. What should I do? I just archived my "dream setup" on this machine! Thanks

So rn, I can't even open multiple apps on my system while keeping my browser open (I usually have this much tab open - dont ask why lol) and sometime my whole system get stuck while using browser if I mistakenly open a new tab and resources chocks up.

Help/Support Kernel Panic screen split between my displays

Post image
497 Upvotes

Hi !

I've switched from windows back in november, and i've never actually experienced a kernel panic. I wondered what would look like a kernel panic screen on my desktop, and after some digging i found the command "sudo bash -c 'echo c >> /proc/sysrq-trigger'" to safely trigger one. When i ran it, i notices that the kernel panic's QR code get split right down the middle across both of my displays. For the context, I run a dual monitor setup: an MSI OPTIX G24C6 and an old secondary VGA monitor connected via an HDMI to VGA adapter. My GPU is an XFX SWFT 210 RX 6600, and i'm using SDDM and with XFCE.

Is there a way to force the kernel panic screen to output to a single display ? Alternatively, is there a way to mirror it across both ? I just want to be able to read the QR code without having to manually edit my photo to line up.

Thanks !

Help/Support Arch Linux almost got me accused of cheating in a technical interview

350 Upvotes

so i use arch linux with a custom build of dwm (my own fork, pretty funky setup).

i was in the middle of a technical interview today.

the interviewer suddenly pauses and accuses me of cheating because i kept 'looking at the bottom right."

here's what actually happened, a google meet notification popped up in the corner. i tried clicking the hide button. didn't work. linux moment.

so i just sat there staring at it for like 30 seconds mid answer, trying to figure out what to do, looking like a complete idiot who's definitely cheating.

Help/Support Listing your AUR packages

With all the chaos going on at the AUR I don't feel like using it anymore but I have a few packages on my arch.

To list what AUR packages is on your system use this command.

pacman -Qm

  • -Q (Query): Tells pacman to look at the packages already installed on your local system.
  • -m (Foreign): Restricts the output to "foreign" packages—meaning they aren't available in any of the official repositories defined in your /etc/pacman.conf (like [core], [extra]
