I just tried every one and only cosmic works. The others show a full black screen with lines of code for a few seconds and then just go back to the login screen. I even tested them both with dynamic mode and discrete GPU only mode set in the bios. should I just go back to windows lol

I just fresh reinstalled popOS because I think I broke something. Unrelated to resolution. The trackpad stopped working. But now after the fresh install everything is back to normal and functioning I just still can't set it to the desired resolution. Honestly I think im just gonna settle for 1920x1200. Fuck it

Wonder if Linux uses an init system named "init" or "rc.d". Pretty sure SystemV init can be used in or is the default in some Linux distros.

recently switched from a 6900XT to a 5090 and I found that while chromium is decoding VP8 videos, it's glitching the fuck out
Anybody has the same issues?

>>107748597
Idk if that logic follows. Gentoo isn't getting stacks of cash from Google for ChromeOS. There's nothing about '13 figure companies have to pay my foundation' in the GPL. Not to say GPL doesn't matter, but it's way more situational than that.

Is this a file browser that doesn't change window focus until the mouse button is released rather than just clicked. Something like this:
>Folder 1 maximized
>Select multiple files from Folder 1
>Open Folder 2 on top, not maximized
>Drag selected files from Folder 1 into Folder 2
The ones I've tried all change focus on click so Folder 1 would be raised as soon as you click the highlighted files to drag. It's a Windows behavior I discovered and miss.
Did some searching for this but asking about window managers. One answer suggested it was a file browser thing so I'm asking as such but let me know otherwise.

I have an old laptop with a dead emmc drive but aside from that everything about it still works
There's no way to add any internal storage so the only way would be to run it from a usb livecd
Which distro should i use for this? All i want it for is to browse the web and other basic tasks so i would need to also find a way to keep the browser updated

>>107750270
If you have more than one external storage, or a large enough external disk to setup additional partitions, you can install pretty much anything you want to the external disk and change the boot priority to usb from the bios and it should boot up to your install.
What are the specs of the laptop? What version of USB do you have?

Is it just me, or has Ubuntu LTS not gotten any updates in over a week?

>>107749600
werks fine on MPV
so I guess it's an issue with chromium hmmm

>>107750644
No shit sherlock, LTS is supposed to not get updates for a long time. That's the goal of LTS.

>>107750328
Its some really shitty ideapad that only has like one or two usb ports which i "think" are usb3. Guess i'll just do the external usb disk method instead of livecd from a usb flash drive

>>107750725
That might not have been a correct test. mpv by default doesn't use the same hardware acceleration has chromium. You have to check what each is using. That sort of issue usually happens because of the hardware decoder.

>>107750753
You don't have to guess if they're usb3 or not, you can see that with lsusb or /sys/bus/usb/devices*/speed

A terminal works. If you're going to do a media server put a barebones distro like Arch.

>meme distro
There's your problem

>>107750910
When you have a distribution that tries to configure hardware for you, you may end up in that problem. I'm not trashing Mint, I'm just saying how it is. Nouveau works with the large majority of Nvidia GPU, especially older ones.

>>107750910
If you want to try again see this guide: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Nouveau

It should work in Mint as well.

>>107750914
"but the performance will be from 1990." it's not that horrible anymore. Nouveau performs okay for the most part. Not the best of the best but let's say 80% more less for older cards. For what the anon wants it doesn't really matter. I tested a few years ago with a 960M.

This might be a silly question but how do I install new emoticon packs I downloaded from the kde store? I am new to linux and on Debian 13 with KDE Plasma 6 just trying to mess around but I just can't find where to place the emojis or how to use the downloaded ones. I don't know if I just don't understand what google is spitting back at me but I haven't really found anything online.

>>107749035
If you still have your 6900 XT I'd put it back in the machine and run the 5090 headlessly in a different slot for compute purposes or whatever you were planning to do with it.
Nvidia is not a good platform for desktop graphics.

>>107751554

>>107752419

I was reading on the arch home page a few days ago that the latest nvidia driver dropped support for 10X0 and prior; So depending on the card, you need an older driver.

>>107752702
Few people buy a 5090. Obviously I know it's not cheap so they may have sold the 6900 XT to cover the costs. It's a long shot but if you still have it and your PSU can provide enough power for both, etc, then it's worth sticking with the AMD card.

what distro should i download for a Nvidia GTX 1650 Ti? Is X11 or Wayland a factor or are both hit or miss?

>>107755095
>what distro
bazzite
>Is X11 or Wayland a factor
both have their own issues, but x11 is abandonware so you'll probably have more luck with wayland. either way you can use both by simply installing the x11 session of kde plasma and logging into it if you ever need to.

>>107751554
Amazing fucking top notch meme, had a mega laff

>>107755213
what if i don't want an immutable distro? I guess a better question to ask is besides bazzite, what distro will let me install nvidia drivers with ease?

>>107755095
Running neofetch in one of my computers = I see this (I have the non-Ti version):

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER

I use Arch Linux + X11 + i3wm. In the past I think i installed whatever nvidia drivers from the package manager + changed some other thing(s). I followed some YouTube guide on installing Arch. Never had graphics problems (besides some lighting glitches in the shrines in TLOZ: Breath of the Wild but that may be an emulation issue instead). Reminds me that I just use the graphics card for video display and not crypto mining. Probably not going to use the GPU for mining as I guess that would somewhat mess up the video display (e.g., make it lag).

Or, use Ubuntu 24. Or Ubuntu 25. Both should work (I don't have personal experience for that setup).

>>107755236
>what distro will let me install nvidia drivers with ease?
it really doesn't matter as long as you know what you're doing. from what I've seen all distros have a decent documentation on how to do it. I've never installed drivers manually (since even nVidia ones come pre-installed with most distros) so I can't really say which is the "easiest". the only thing I know is that some distros like Manjaro have a GUI tool for swapping driver versions.

>>107755236

Yes, but you also need something to start the WM. You can simply use the startx command from the tty or install a display manager. For programs like a file manager or a terminal emulator that's not xterm, you'll have to install those yourself. There will be configurations you have to do, but it depends on which WM you choose.

The problem with linux has always been theming. Always. Linux devs just cannot make a good desktop theme by default no matter how hard they try. While theming is subjective, there is a definite ugly and non customized look.

XFCE has been a good enough desktop for 5+ years to use linux as a daily driver on 99% of PC's in the world.

Linux mint devs are just so retarded and unbelievably lazy they cant even download a simple theme and customize the system tray icons which would take 5 minutes.

People like to praise mint but heres what they constitute as a "good" looking out of the box XFCE desktop.

>>107758017
Genuinely asking, but what do you feel makes yours substantially better? I've just used GNOME 2 then MATE for the most part though, so I probably have different tastes to the folks coming from Mac OS X and whatnot.

As an aside, I've heard good things about elementary OS, the Budgie DE in general, and Zorin OS from folks wanting something familiar. Not sure I'd recommend them due to two out of those being kinda paid.

will applications installed from fedora's RPM package manager generally run seamlessly on openmandriva? it's not a fedora/redhat derivative, but it uses the same package manager so i assume it's fine?

I'm on KDE Plasma and have a high refresh monitor, but GTK applications are only updating at 60Hz. Is this a GTK limitation? I'm guessing ebassi said there's no use case for more than 60Hz.

>>107758556
If it installs, it's probably fine. Your issue might be dependency resolution when installing them.

I would strongly recommend against creating some frankendistro to resolve dependency conflicts. It would be better to just compile it and either install directly or package yourself at that point. Less headache.

My issue with theming on linux is the following:
My choice of DE is dependent on the display server. If I need a feature from this new display server called Wayland that X11 doesn't have, now I cannot use one of those old buddies.
Modern DEs are weird to theme, GNOME goes against the grain and in KDE Plasma, theming is part really easy, part a fucking nightmare.
I want my KDE Plasma, not shitting you, to look exactly like MacOS Mavericks.
I cannot by myself do this easily. Because padding is an important element of theming, and even if there was a theme that looked exactly like that, even if I got the same fonts and such, it'd look off. Dolphin would look off. Everything would, because padding is not something you can change without getting into the weeds.
So if I want something to look more traditional and less flat, less "mimicking modern windows/macOS", I have to lose display features that in my opinion have little to do with how an OS should fucking look. I have to conform with what'd look like a chinese ripoff.

That's... more confusing. Wine itself shouldn't have any changes. Nvidia or AMD? Cachy usually packages drivers differently. One big issue I see in Cachy is that their archive is pretty worthless, they keep very few older versions so you're fucked if you want to downgrade.

>>107760742
That computer had nvidia card. I didn't try to look into it why the problem occurred, seeing that it was not present on EndeavourOS was more than enough to convince me that I don't care.

Stupid question since I don't know how things work
Just like you can shrink windows and dual boot, having most normal distros just detect windows on the bootloader, how difficult is the process with different distros?
Say if I wanted to install both Fedora and Arch, would one bootloader take over the other? Is it automatically detected? Could I dualboot a normal distro with an atomic one?

>>107761425
Yes, they could have let it slide. (Was Rockchip making money off of that stuff? IDK.) It is a GPL violation; it isn't public domain. With LGPL (and probably also BSD): you can't just change the license to some other license and say you own it without input from the owner of the GPL-copyrighted code. Yes GPL is copyright (some call it copyleft). Not sure, but I think you can take public domain code (like that of TempleOS), change it, then slap whatever license you want on it. The original public domain code remains public domain, as long as records exist to prove it.

This is the situation you posted about: "FFmpeg Is Done Waiting For Rockchip To Comply"

You're asking the wrong question. Grub cant unlock a zfs encrypted pool.
I heard zfs native encryption is not really that good in the first place compared to both luks and whatever the luks equivalent is for freebsd (geli? geom?)

>>107762334
>Grub cant unlock a zfs encrypted pool.
I know ZFSBootMenu can, on top of having other comfy features.
I haven't tried using GRUB to boot from a ZFS pool, but I'm considering attempting it in the future. I don't use FreeBSD (anymore).

I'm looking for a terminal based music player that:
>has a progress bar
>can scrobble to libre.fm
I know the latest version of cmus has a progress bar, but I couldn't figure out how to get it to compile, and mpd messed up all my packages when I used it last time, so are there any more options?

I'm familiar with USING linux thanks to work and college, but not with CUSTOMIZING linux since I was never in control of the system.
How do (You) pick which packages to use for what? Is it seriously as tedious as looking up and manually installing and trying hundreds of different desktops/terminals/etc and seeing which one (You) like best?

>>107760624
Good to hear, anon.

>>107762418
Last time i used zfsbootmenu which was years ago it would copy your kernel and a customized minimal initramfs to the partition that zfsbootmenu was stored on and would boot that to unlock your zfs pool and give you the other boot options e.g snapshots but i dont know what's changed since then
It was also using syslinux as its bootloader which has long been depreciated

>>107762469
Just use mpd with ncmpcpp or gomp

I was wondering if Linux distro spiritOS is "notable" and found this cult:

depends on what bootloader is being used
second OS might simply get added to the list

with grub if i remember correctly you have a grub partition so during second installation you can just manually point installer to the partition and it should just add a new menu item
if that wont happen then you can always just add another system manually with just two commands
or maybe their installers even autodetect bootloaders and give you a choice, i wouldnt be surprised if that is a feature that exists

I'm not installing your MKULTRA-2 distro

I have a very odd "me" problem. My hand really cramps up after a while using the mouse. I never had an issue on windows and I live on my computer. The mouse "feel" is different tinkering with settings and disabling acceleration I can't really find a good setting for it. I don't know how to reset the mouse config to default I followed the arch wiki on disabling mouse acceleration.

pixels keep flashing to white on my screen. It doesn't happen all the time but when certain things are up on the display, they'll continually flash to white - I think it might have something to do with colors because it's not random flashing, certain lines or other features will do the flashing thing

If I lower the resolution, it doesn't happen. I'm using a resolution and refresh rate supported by the monitor. On my other arch install, this didn't happen but on my new arch install (on a new system), the max resolution of the monitor wasn't recognized so I had to put in manually and now I have this flashing problem

I'm planning on migrating over from PulseAudio to PipeWire with the hope that it will fix my poor microphone quality on Discord, and I need something clarified. WirePlumber is necessary if I want my devices to work upon plugging them into my computer, correct? Also, there are packages to use PipeWire as an audio server and one that provides a compatibility layer(?) for PulseAudio; are there no packages for input devices such as microphones?

>>107764362
Wireplumber manages Pipewire sessions, so yes it's needed.
It has emulation layers for Pulseaudio, ALSA and JACK you can also install.

>>107764306
Take your hand off the mouse as much as possible for 2-3 days. It will improve. That is your body warning you of an impending RSI.

>>107764382
>It has emulation layers for Pulseaudio, ALSA and JACK you can also install.
Does it? I'm looking at the WirePlumber page on the Arch wiki, and I don't see any related packages.

>>107764422
Wireplumber is its own package, the packages for the layers are
>pipewire-pulse pipewire-alsa pipewire-jack

>>107764442
Oh, yeah, those packages were what I was referring to by "compatibility layers" in my OP.

>>107764463
>pipewire wireplumber pipewire-pulse pipewire-alsa pipewire-jack
plus some of their dependencies is all you need for a working sound stack in Arch these days.

alpine os or arch ? i want something lightweight that will work with enlighnment but with only the necessary basic setup for an average user that can still dig through all the shit without giving up.
I tried alpine and it was surprisingly easy to set up the desktop and everything ,'im not that much intelligent and didn't do much research or understand much what are the implications of alpine being based on musl.
arch installation is easy too just unecessary but last time i tried arch and then tried to start enlightnment but it didn't launch so might be a skill issue or docker problem.

I don't think the generic wifi driver in the linux kernel works with my network controller.

I'm using Fedora 42 and this is what lspci tells me:
Network controller: Intel Corporation Wifi 6 AX200 (rev 1a)
Subsystem: Intel Corporation Wifi 6 AX200NGW
Kernel Driver in use: iwlwifi

I was installing stuff when the wifi connection dropped out and consistently does so. Would the driver provided by Intel for Windows 10 work with Linux? That is, if I can find it. The last time I had a wifi driver issue, fucking Intel archived the wifi driver. If anyone knows what I should use for my wifi controller, that would be great.

>>107764648
that card is really well supported in linux with the kernel driver. i don't know why you're having issues. check 'journalctl -f' and look at what happens when the connection drops.

>>107764504
I think Alpine's purpose is mostly to be small in size, not necessarily to be as lightweight as possible. Considering that Arch is much more supported and has great documentation, I think you'd have an easier time on Arch. Not that I'm saying Alpine wouldn't be a good choice as well, though.

>>107763785

dunno, works on my machine and stuff
personally never had issue like that despite periodically changing my mice/sensitivity
but i also use fairly large gaming mice specifically for that reason, it just grips well and fits my hand

its probably new sensitivity or polling rate or both and it makes you aim harder and grip your mouse harder id assume?

and i would understand if you have carpal after using a standard office mouse or one of these tiny ass bluetooth mice or this fucking abomination called magic mouse because these things are insanely unergonomic
but if thats all it takes to give you health issues then you should really (and i mean REALLY) go to the gym or do calisthenics at home
because if even a tiny change in environment can fuck up your body it will only get worse from here, trust me on that one

>>107764831
What's happening is that when you're on Windows, you're being very vigilant, so not getting attacked, but for some reason you start RELAXING whenever you boot to GNU PLUS LINUX, and /that/ is when they jump out and get you. It's probably the duel booting that's letting them in to begin with.

ok, i'm currently testing journalctl -f
another thing I forgot to mention is that the wifi only stops working after I close the lid on my laptop. I installed Linux Mint before installing Fedora and the same issue occurred; wifi worked, I installed some basic shit like VLC, Steam, ffmpeg, and when I closed the lid, the wifi stopped working until I did a full reboot. Not sure if the wifi drivers are included in Mint's kernel but if I can go back to Mint I would.

i dont know if you are using wayland or xorg but back when i still was playing vidya and cared about sensitivity and other bullshit i would use xinput to tinker with "coordinate transformation matrix" item (the last number in the matrix is your sensitivity - fun fact) to tinker with my sensitivity
linux DE settings apps are more precise than windows ones but they didnt have some features i needed and had bugs, and that thing would allow me to change my sens 1/1000 th step at a time which i liked
also way back on windows i was tinkering with poling rate, found out that 500 is more consistent than 1000 for some reason
1000 just feels like ice skating
but still there was some adjustment period

Hi folks,

I've recently moved from Windows to CachyOS. Never looking back. Moved because of some weird bugs where the GPU would fall off the bus, and I've been troubleshooting for a few months now. Thankfully the diagnostic tools on Arch are miles ahead of windows and I can actually see what's happening.

So far I've figured out my 3090FE is kinda fucky-wucky. I've had ran nvidia-open as per recommendation. That requires GSP enabled, and I had the GPU crash with an xid119 under machine learning loads as well as gaming loads. I suspected temperatures, but I don't cross 80~c under load on hotspot & memory with GPU hanging in the mid 70's.

I suspected a bad board and so I replaced the mobo which to be fair was on its way out and ran only PCIE3.0x16.

I even suspected a dodgy PSU, but my 850w Seasonic is a good unit, and I moved to a 12V HPWR from the included Nvidia 12pin to 2xPCIE.

Yesterday I moved to disable PCIE Power state management (Which I had disabled in Bios before but not in Systemd) in Systemd and turn GSP off. Which forced me to move to Nvidia proprietary which from what I'm reading is on its way out, so much so I had to move to the LTS kernel. Now the card runs great and at 90%~ power limit with 100-ish MHz downclock. That's still 99% of my performance by reckoning, I didn't loose inference times and frame rates are just about the same.

Real question though. Am I fucked? Because LTS support for the proprietary drivers will eventually go and that will take my workaround with it. Is there any other solution? Should I consider rope, or worse a GitHub bug report on the Nvidia-open repo? Because from what I'm reading GSP on the 30 series is a known pain point so I'm wondering if there's a better solution that doesn't involve me being stranded in LTS land? Asking here because I suspect my solution is somewhere in systemd but I don't know enough yet to find out and this place seems good as any.

>>107765547
i think that in use by count refers to depdendencies to other kernel modules. so you could likely rmmod one with a 0, but if its greater you'd get complaints and have to remove other modules depending on it first.
>>107765581
the 3090FE is a common card, it's likely that if you stay on LTS a while someone will fix the bug you're encountering with the open driver while you wait.

Certain older Intel CPUs in combination with certain software is vulnerable to attacks, such as
>many [CPU] cache-based side channel attacks have been demonstrated that can leak sensitive information (e.g., cryptographic keys) in cloud environments

Linux is mentioned in the ~2021 paper "Lord of the Ring(s): Side Channel Attacks on the CPU On-Chip Ring Interconnect Are Practical" which explains this; one of the mentions:
>Moreover, our attack POC assumes (like prior work [2, 5, 18, 27, 28, 43, 78, 103]) the availability of preemptive scheduling techniques. A real attack, however, would include an implementation of such techniques. High-precision variants of these have been demonstrated for non-virtualized settings in [11,44,73,86], and shown to be practical in virtualized settings in [115].12 Preemptive scheduling is also practical against trusted execution environments such as Intel SGX [98]. Yet, future work is needed to assess the practicality of preemptive scheduling in more restricted environments such as browsers.
>[...]
>12 These techniques exploit the designs of the Linux/Xen CPU schedulers. The attacker spawns multiple threads, some of which run on the same CPU as the victim. The threads running on the victim’s CPU sleep most of the time. However, at carefully chosen times the attacker wakes them up, causing the scheduler to interrupt the victim to run the attacker

>Yesterday I moved to disable PCIE Power state management (Which I had disabled in Bios before but not in Systemd) in Systemd and turn GSP off.
Why did you do both at once? Maybe only one of these was required for stability. Anyway, the nvidia proprietary driver is REQUIRED to run GTX 1080, 980, etc. So that driver is always going to be available in one form or another.

>>107765617
I'm hoping so, but the fact that the crash is a hard sieze that just freezes the screens and keeps playing audio and renders the computer unresponsive (yes I tried REISUB and SSH into the machine) forcing a power cycle which makes debugging messy since the log is cut at the point of reboot and god knows how much is written anyways before reboot doesn't give me high hopes.

I have a 960 and 12400 cpu, should I use Nobara or Bazzite? Mostly light gaming, modding, and browsing. I don't want to bother with setting up for gaming again.

>>107765626
I'll try only disabling PSM when I don't feel like declaring a fatwa on nVidia but right Now I'm just happy my set-up can run properly. Ive had quite enough yesterday and I didn't think that PSM would run even when it was disabled in Bios so it was a hail marry. I still don't think it did anything and the culprit was the GSP, but like you said, multiple variables.

if what other anon said wont happen and you bug doesnt get fixed there are two ways you can go about it (keep in mind im recommending this because i dont hate you and therefore would never recommend you to run insecure and outdated software like retards that are unironically running win 7):

>the aneurysm method
-KVM or xen virtual machine with GPU passthrough to the system with outdated kernel and drivers for gaymin(or whatever is that you need you GPU for)
-second GPU or iGPU or a remote desktop into host for internet browsing/other software
>the snowden method
-reverse of a previous one
-outdated host for gaymin
-virtual machine for software/internet
-passthrough not needed
>the crack laced with adderall method
-get good at programming
-fix it yourself

Oh man, icewm is already using like 100mb of RAM only sparing you 136mb
see how that machine performs with Feh image viewer. And for video and audio here is a script that plays music through a terminal in mplayer. Requires xterm

setsid xterm -geometry 110x32+405+120 -T "audio player" -bg beige -fg navy -fa "Monospace" -fs 16 -e mplayer -shuffle -loop 0 '%s' $@

This should be the lighest you can go when it comes to vid and audio. Make it a wrapper `playaudio` in local bin and then try to open music and video files with it. Half as light as mpv which is already feather weight.For text editor just use `micro` but make sure to run it in the folder you want to save the text file.
For internet try w3m. With that much ram you might be able to open 3-4 image files in Feh and play audio with that mplayer wrapper with a terminal open but that's about it.

i don't think i've updated any packages on debian 13 in a month...
is this normal? how are there no security updates

>>107766495
As far as Debian is concerned if it's not RCE it's not a security update.

>>107765207
>>107765246
well, I don't think it worked because after letting my system sleep for a bit, I opened it only to be met with a bunch of red lines of output for 'fedora kernel: iwlwifi' which is what I assume are errors that mean that the module is still crashing during sleep.

And I thought any remotely new'ish Wi-Fi chip on Linux is a gamble, especially when trying to use them as access points.
How do you figure it's "well supported"?

I installed CachyOS with LXDE and it's really fast, but the experience is kind of shit coming from Mint with Cinnamon. Will changing the DE to something else slow my system down much? I have a laptop with an i5-1135g7 and 8GB of RAM.

Just installed Bazzite, I really like how KDE Plasma works and feels compared to Cinnamon. Customization is decent, but the search function is slower. Is that normal?
I want the panel to open up as soon as I get to the edge of the screen rather than having that blue glow come up first and having to move the mouse once more. Is that possible?

Can you redpill me on why I should try your distro?

>>107767868
no, what program?
you can change your profile in about:profiles

>>107767911
There's only an option to create.

>>107762768
Depends on the package manager. Some would keep it there but block the update, others would keep it there but dependencies may break and the program may stop working in the end.
Usually there's a good reason for a package to be removed from the repo though and you should find an alternative.

>>107767925
ah
i have multiple profiles, i forgor
but default root directory is /home/$USER/.mozilla/firefox/ if we are talking non-flatpak
maybe try this one?
dont forget to restart browser
>>107767868
>.cache
i dont think thats where browser profiles should be

>>107762768
i dont know any package manager that works like that

Doesn't exist for me.

>>107767999
what if you create it and put profile here?

>>107767971
What version of Firefox did you create this profile with?
Newer versions use the XDG directories (so it'll be in local, cache and config, not ~/.mozilla)

didn't mozilla, after all these years, finally adhere to xdg directories recently?
should be in ~/.config then somehwere.

>>107768017
no idea man
cache makes no sense for me btw
its probably some temp files not an actual profile
if you are putting profiles in cache as a dev you need to kill yourself

>>107768031
They did, yes.
>>107768017

Legacy profiles are still in ~/.mozilla/firefox (because moving things could be dangerous so they support both for backwards compatibility).

>>107768032
Yes, it's not used like that. I just meant those are all the directories Firefox uses now. The ~/.mozilla directory isn't used for anything anymore except if you have a legacy install.

>>107768039
I should add, Firefox always used ~/.cache for cache. It's not relevant to profiles, just mentioning for completeness.

Dolphin crashed.

>>107768017
Not sure, it's the one that ships with mint. I don't think that's the issue though. It's a few months old at most. >>107767897 Doesn't that mean it's blocked?

>>107768039
>>107768052
>>107768017
So to sum up, if you have .mozilla then you can put that in:
~/.var/app/org.mozilla.firefox/.mozilla
Otherwise copy the firefox or mozilla or whatever directories from ~/.local and ~/.config into ~/.var/app/org.mozilla.firefox/local and ~/.var/app/org.mozilla.firefox/config

>>107768066
>Dolphin crashed.
wdym lmao
dolphin crashed when you copied firefox profile?

>>107768066
The ProfileManager should work. If you installed Firefox from Mint though then that should be old enough to be using ~/.mozilla/firefox. I'm confused where your profile directory actually as in that case. Have they patched it somehow?

>>107768079
>>107768066
One thing you can do is to install strace and run something like:

strace -fF firefox > firefox.log 2>&1

Then close it quickly once it opens because that will make a big log file and then you can search through the log file to see what paths it's actually looking at.
This is a bit of an advanced troubleshooting step though, but has saved me on many an occasion.

well your $HOME directory shouldnt be immutable, that would be retarded
does it always crash?
also why flatpak? why not appimage or just installing normally?

Just what came with Bazzite. I'll uninstall the flatpack and try the normal way.

>>107768219
yea if you just want to use browser its easier to just use package manager

exists now.
Referring to the image: Still looks like this and >>107768158 image when I use

no option to change to the one I just pasted into the folder.

>>107768313
>no option to change to the one I just pasted into the folder.
well did you copypaste the profile somewhere?
i can change between them cause there is a few of them in my .mozilla/firefox folder but you right now probably have only the new one here

>>107768354
I don't think they did. It seems like they either didn't copy the profile or they copied it to the wrong place.

>>107768354
>>107768389
I can't change between them. I ended up renaming my profile to a one I created and that seems to have worked.

>>107768401
Weird, maybe Firefox added some extra security or something. It used to just load every profile in the directory.

Isn't Nobara more or less the same as Bazzite but immutable? I'm using a 960 which isn't supported but I can still get the drivers manually iirc.

>>107768485
Bazzite is the immutable distro. Nobara is a normal spin of Fedora but with some optimisations for gaming and general niceties desktop users expect, like codecs included, etc.

>>107768485
probably flatpack permissions bullshit honestly

>>107768510
I'm new to this so bare with me.
Could you say Fedora is akin to a vanilla game and Nobara is like personal settings for Fedora by default? Could you get to the same spot as Nobara starting in Fedora if you knew what you were doing?

>>107768530
Oh..can't launch nightly from a pin either, have to click on it like a desktop short cut.
