Thanks it helped,I had the same issue with yay, installed yay via mise package manager and it had libalpm.15 as dependency, but Pacman v6.1.0 - libalpm v14.0.0, I dont't want to upgrade the whole system cause nvidia proprietary driver has an issue with HDMI currently (black screen)...the fix is to use DP cable :D

You have very useful videos, they helped me learn more about linux 👍😄

Thank you, Alien, you turned out to be Friendly for real! You're doing well growing your channel and content quality! Keep it up! May I ask what your native language is? You have a particular accent that I can't stereotype to a region, so I don't want to, but it make me really curious. 🙂 By the way, English is also not my first language, I'm Dutch. 🙂

😄😄 you make useful and friendly videos better than most youtube channels, keep it up !!

Yeah I'm not dealing with that, I just use Manjaro, I don't really like the organisation behind manjaro or the lack of seperateration between free software and non-free software but it's as close as I can get to an ideal distro

VMware Pro Workstation is free now. You can get much better performance on it versus Vbox.

oh hey, i got the same exact pb

Everyone who used to leave, I also want to leave to Debian, there is no problem like this

Something similar happened with games that use an older version of EAC anti-cheat. When Arch team upgraded glibc they didn't care to leave a little patch that supported these older games due to their politics that "developers have to catch up with libraries and keep updating their games". This approach is why developers will always target Windows and not Linux. Who wants to keep updating their software forever as a life long commitment to keep up with libraries?

Thank you so much!

I use Nobara linux, kitty and alacritty is broken.

I can understand things breaking because of unstable releases and breaking changes but this is just terrible handling of dependencies, I don't know much about arch but I don't think this should happen at all in such a big distro

welcome to fedora + distrobox, you will have almost all the same benefits as arch linux, and no headache

hey i just want to know if ur running this in a vb? is so how is it so smooth? edit are u using it in windows?

Anytime I encountered a libalpm error, I simply rebuilt yay(my aur helper).

I think you would enjoy NixOS as an alternative. It's not perfect and might introduce new issues to replace the old ones, but atleast when you get something working in the nix way, you can be more confident that it'll keep working.

Pretty much as expected... preview.redd.it/h2f3kikppnl51.jpg?width=1080&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=193ecdc62a444f0b3a1d3aa915f807a5bcffd317

pacman -Syd pacman anyone? Like, I get it, had this too yesterday, but I just updated pacman and rebuilt yay and was done with it. It's what you gotta expect with Arch, especially when using the AUR with a helper as linking against libalpm is the problem here. If that's too bothersome, maybe Arch isn't your way, which is totally fine.

0:50 - 1:05. The most sensible arch user ever

You can uninstall current paru and install paru-git it worked for me

why i didnot face anything like that on arch based CachyOS on paru yay and pacman

The terminal button is nice. For some reason when I upgraded to KDE 6, the right click option was moved into a drop down menu after the right click. It took some getting used to but in the long run, I am happier with the button.

Exactly what i needed. Whats your theme for ur dolphin folder? that them is dope

Kubuntu is still running kde 5

thank you!!!!!!!!! Tabacco

I'd use a tiling window manager if I wanted to save resources, but I have 64 GB of RAM and using zramswap.. It might be useful for my 2008 EeePC with 2 GB RAM.

One can of course also run WACUP (WinAmp Community Update Project) via Wine. I just install it in a Wine-GE Bottle using Bottles, and after I figured out how to disable vsync using the DXVK_CONFIG_FILE=/home/redsnt/.config/dxvk.conf variable (otherwise Bottles uses an internal DXVK config), even milkdrop visualizer works as intended like it was 2004 again.

Early versions of Audacious had a Winamp-like gui by default. It was a fork of XMMS, which was almost indistinguishable from WinAmp, visually. So, you may want to take a look at XMMS2 as well, if you have not already. The only downside to Audacious to me is that streaming media can be choppy on older machines, like the 1999 Athlon someone threw out and I rescued from curbside trash, and which I run Lubuntu 16.04 on. Xine works better for web radio on that thing. This may have more to do with the ancient machinery I task it with, though. Thanks for discussing these features!

Thanks for sharing, this is my favorite music player on Linux now.

linux distro?

thank you so much

Flatpaks do not suck. They are the future of packages on Linux. They make it so it doesnt matter what distro you are using, you can have the same version and know the software is going to work. I thought repo packages where better, but after I ran into a few issues I started using flatpak and well THEY JUST WORK. There are still some things I install as a repo package but that is mainly just system apps now. Also flatpaks makes it so the maintainer just has to do one version, not check to see what kernel, libraries, package format (deb, rpm, etc) so they can just work on their app.

"I never understood why the Linux Community couldn't agree on one package manager" Because of those "technical details" you said were boring. Arch, Debian, NixOS, Fedora... they're *different* systems and they bundle completely different versions of dependencies in different ways because the systems are built differently. They have different goals, different reasons for existing, and fundamentally different solutions.

Why not start the tutorial with where the fish config is located, the file path etc...

ty so much

This video is so concise and direct it made me immediately sub, keep doing theses

Hello, renaming helped me

How can i put fastfetch to run in kitty every time i open it?

So NO to windows. 😊

I recommend taking a look at the am package manager, it is an awesome way to manage appiamages

You and I have pretty much the same back up strategy. I bought the Sabrent case to plug my old SSD’s in and they work great. I like that you don’t need a power cord as it is power via usb. Thank you.

Look into portals. The permissions are more of a legacy option. Portals should he the future way to handle files etc. The file picker is a system component, i guess. If you chose a file or a location to save a file, they are given through that portal from or to the app. Nothing more, nothing less. The app itself can not see the filesystem AFAIK. Please additional do your own research on this, as I am not sure about half of it 😁

I think that while it's good practice to have decent security on apps you don't really trust you can never be 100% secure - at least not if you ever want to get anything done on your computer. Worrying about what every single piece of software on your system can access is a rabbit hole with no bottom. Are you going to go look at the entire source code of every non-flatpak program on your system to check if someone slipped in some malware? It can and does happen as we saw with XZ recently. The only true way to protect your user files is a robust backup system preferably with both local and off-site backups.

Thank you. The simplest things are sometimes overlooked 🤷‍♀

You have to restart the app for permission changes to actually do something. the filesystem=host permission doesn't mean root access/write to /usr or /etc. The flatpak is run as a regular user and can only read (just like your regular user) system files. In fact there are no privileged flatpaks (yet afaik) think gparted, timeshift etc. Hell you can't even make a proper file manager like dolphin in flatpak due to deep system integration/scope of dolphin. Many permissions are way to generous and the reason is that applications aren't build yet with flatpak/xdg-portals in mind or missing portals for that specific use case the application needs. Existing applications are shoved into an incomplete packaging format and the generous permissions just bridge the gap. Just a reminder every "native" distro package can do everything(!) your user can. A little sandboxing > no sandboxing at all Flatpak is not Android/not there yet but it is the best we have right now for the linux desktop.

Thanks!

When you are using open/save from a program that program is using xdg desktop portal for showing the dialog to user to pick the file. The program is not directly accessing the file hence it still works as the user choose the file and not the program and then the program reads write the file using the portal API. But if you try something like flatpka run progname filename and the flatpak doesnt have file access permission, it will fail.

Great overview! Very informative.

Because of manifest2 deprecation I am moving from chromium-based browsers to Firefox-based browsers and librewolf is my first browser I will be trying.

I love this video. Lots of these are my faves.
