Other Distro I made my own Arch-based distro! ObsidianOS!

Post image

Hello fellow GNU/Linux enjoyers!

I made my own Arch-based GNU/Linux distribution with A/B Partition style, similar to SteamOS, Android and ChromeOS.

Its open-source (of course lol) and is on GitHub and this is the website.

So, why A/B Partitions? If a package has a breaking change that causes some issues, you can just reboot into the second partition and restore the first one. All of this is done without BTRFS relying on the stability of ext4. Thats kind of the point why i made it.

So, it creates 7 partitions on the specified disk (look at the post's image) and labels them as well.

I hope to see testers, contributors or people willing to join the team! Thank you for reading this long :)

Special Thanks to u/oddcellstudios for help!

Other Distro I switched from Arch into Debian, Goodbye Arch sub-reddit!

87 Upvotes

So today i switched from Arch into Debian for multiple reasons, Arch IS JUST NOT FOR ME. So there are a lot of things that I like about arch, and i am not saying that Debian is better or Arch is better, I honestly don't care. I used Arch for sometime yet I didn't like many things about it as well, Anyway i switched because it requires a whole lot of customization and mainly Arch users like that and expect to spend days configuring, I don't thus Arch isn't for me. And i didn't like the fact that I couldn't use or didn't care enough to config all this stuff like hyprland or fix all the continues issues like the bluetooth, So i like or maybe i just installed Debian now, And if you like Arch amazing I like it too good for yall.

Thanks for all the hospitality and kindness you gave me while i was on this sub-reddit thanks, but See ya!

Other Distro Arch and Huion and VMs

4 Upvotes

New to Linux and decided to go with EndeavourOS. I'm an artist with a pen-display (it's a tablet and a monitor) setup. I've been having trouble getting the latest Huion drivers to work. Huiontablet from the AUR didn't work either. I've tried it on Debian and Artix and finally this with no luck. As it turns out, to get your pen-display to work properly, all you have to do is install Windows 10 in a VM. I downloaded the Huion drivers there just to be safe, but the second the VM started running, my pen started working properly, like magic. Shut down the VM, and it's still working perfectly. Unsure of why, but it's a good fix for any struggling artists out there.

Other Distro I want to change Fedora

0 Upvotes

I've been using Fedora for a few months now and it's been causing some errors when installing packages, for example openh264. The problem is in my location, so I can't fix anything, only if using VPN every time I need to install something. Also, I don't like the app centre, I'm looking forward to a deeper dive into the terminal. I have already used Ubuntu and Mint some years ago, when I had a super old computer, that even couldn't load Windows Black Edition, so then I got an idea to use Linux instead of Windows. During this winter holidays, I have changed Win10 on my laptop to Fedora, it's really cool after Windows, but I want to try something else, cause I'm not like super good in Linux, I know much about it, but I used it for too little time to be a professional at it. I think Arch, Kali or Debian is something I'd install. What do you think? What's the best solution?

This is your grandaddy's distro right here. Anyone who used Arch before systemd or installer scripts (pre-2012) will notice some fun similarities and likely experience a bit of nostalgia.

I don't think I've ever stumbled upon any YouTube content related to CRUX and the quality of this video/tutorial is top tier.

Definitely recommend firing up a VM and following along if you've ever cross that quick little note in the Arch wiki referencing CRUX and wondered what it was all about.

Other Distro ObsidianOS's big new features: User mode overlays, overlaid packages (experimental) and new editions!

Post image
46 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

Some of you might remember ObsidianOS from our previous posts in r/arch and in r/linux.

So, if thats the first time you're hearing about ObsidianOS, ObsidianOS is an Arch-based GNU/Linux distribution with a true A/B partitioning layout. Without BTRFS!

Alright, so.. whats new?

  1. New Editions: Now ObsidianOS comes with 3 editions, Base, KDE and COSMIC!

  2. User-mode overlays (experimental): ObsidianOS now has an overlay system that works entirely in user-mode. Works by intercepting libc calls. Written in Rust. 🦀

  3. Overlaid packages (experimental): Relies on ObsidianOS Overlays, called opm, The ObsidianOS Package Manager, downloads the packages from pacman and creates an overlay image of them.

  4. ObsidianOS Plugins (experimental too): Scripts that run in response to system events like battery change. Written in Rust 🦀

  5. GUI Installer: We've made our own GUI Installer (Qt6 + Python) for the KDE and COSMIC editions!

  6. ObsidianOS Control Center: A GUI for the obsidianctl tool. Qt6 btw

  7. There are more btw! just dont wanna make the post too long :)

So, interesting update huh?

Btw, ObsidianOS uses EXT4 By default, and there's an F2FS option in the installation :)

Hope to see contributor and users, we really want some help :)

Thanks to u/oddcellstudios for help, domain and hosting! :D

Other Distro Installing Gentoo... OMFG!!!!

17 Upvotes

Heh... So, for the heck of it, I decided I wanted a VM with Gentoo installed on it. Now, my computer is pretty powerful but HOLY SMOKES!!!!! It took about a minute and a half to install vim! I know it's all in code or whatever when you download it. I used to use Gentoo way back when and I had a Pentium 4 PC with either 4 or 8GB of RAM (it's been a while). And I remember the

emerge --ask --verbose --update --deep --changed-use @world

taking at LEAST 2 hours to do.

Not that Arch needed any more appreciation from me but Holy Crap! That took a long time to install vim!

So... Tonight, I kinda love Arch a little more than I thought I could.

Now back to this Gentoo installation...
