Arch installer on Artix?

Would Arch installer work on Artix with just changing the repos? I have no issues installing manually, but Arch installer is the fastest Linux installer available. It is much faster than any GUI installer, so VM's would benefit a lot.

    Your machine is UEFI, which means your usb stick must be formatted in gpt. Ventoy defaults to mbr which means lagacy bios. It is just 3 mouse click setup.

    Try again. Because it is the best method. I just updated 2,5 years old Ventoy stick without any issues without re-formatting.

    LMDE6 started to drop Realtek wifi card

    I've had LMDE6 installed since it's release day and everything has been fine. For the past week it's been dropping my wifi card randomly. It is not recognized by rfkill nor lspci after it happens. Only reboot helps. Does anyone know why it might happen? Kernel is 6.1.0-21-amd64 but I don't know has the kernel been updated recently.

    Just to clarify, you don't need to shrink your storage drive for any VM. I haven't used Windows for so many years, that I can't remember can you shrink your C:/ partition, so search for it from your preferred search engine.

    For a Linux Newbie Nvidia should not cause problems. Pop_OS! releases their own .iso for their own made Nvidia drivers. Also other Nvidia driver named NVK should be available soon for any distro out of the box and it will remove most (if not all) Nvidia-related problems on Linux. But I bet most Linux-gamers uses Nvidia without issues anyway.

    When you're about to do your first dual booting attempt, I highly recommend to take a backup from your Windows install since it's your first time so something unexplainable can go wrong.

    Ps. Remember this until the rest of your life: no matter how you do it, Windows will always override and format your Linux ESP partition, so you have to always install Windows first and Linux second and preferably with its own ESP.

    Then demand Nvidia for better drivers. The new Linux users doesn't deserve all the current hassle because that instantly kills the motivation for even actually starting the Linux journey at all.

I found this webpage for usb stick speed comparison: https://ssd-tester.de/usb_stick_test.php The fastest usb sticks writes 800-1000 mbps in the crystaldisk-test. If you have personal experience on this, please recommend which approach is better.

    It faschinates me a lot how a company like Nvidia can't make working drivers even for xorg despite all the hype Nvidia moving their drivers into firmware. Amd sells gpu's very low numbers and they never have these issues because they can afford to release their drivers for Linux.

    Linux foundation should ban Nvidia. So many headaches and wasted resources cured immediadly.

    So what? For newbies it isn't as bad rant Youtubers tend to claim, but yeah I guess the problems are real. However, my brother has daily driven Manjaro KDE for 4 years and hasn't have bigger or more issues what you would have with Ubuntu.

    I also recommended to try it out, not to daily drive it. Manjaro's Sway configuration is much more fine-tuned than in the Fedora Sway.

    Try Manjaro Sway. It is preconfigured and has many superior features built-in. The wallpaper contains the keybinds. When you learn to use that preconfigured Sway, you can try to build your own setup in a virtual machine and when you're satisfied, take the dotfiles into a usb stick or make the vm guest as your real Linux install.

    Try to double your ram and if you don't have ssd, get one. Your cpu and gpu is powerful enough for light video editing. Also amd drivers are shipped in the Linux Kernel so you don't need to do anything for them.

    T490 is the first model with only internal battery, but removal is fairly easy. 2020 lineup changed the F9-F11 function into osme MS Teams crap, which didn't (or don't) work with MS Teams out of the box. The old layout for function keys (keyboard lsyour switch, bluetooth toggle on/off and settings) were super handy in daily use.

    I don't know about 2022 lineup since I don't own one, but 2023 lineup don't have option for simple bios UI and don't allow user to disable unneeded hardware, which was a feature since the first Thinkpad ever released.

    Most likely doesn't matter. If you prefer to maximize charging speed then 90 watts but in theory it will worn out the battery slightly faster.

    Just wow. Hopefully it works with T430 too, since it has so much more cpu power with quad-core i7-3612qm and runs much cooler than the stock dual-core i5 ever ran.

    Is different mobile Linux projects working together?

    Is the devs of different projects working towards same or different goals in different projects? I'm not a dev, but I am trying to understand why there are so many different projects while all of them seems to share same frontends or UIs or DEs. Isn't the biggest work to be made in the firmware and kernel side? Hopefully the unified bootloader sees the finish line to make porting easier for new devices. Is there a mobile-only flatpak under development? I know this all is very confusing to answer, but I fear that fragmentation at this points leads to wasted resources because project X dev doesn't know that project Y is working towards the same goal at the same time. Also multiple different projects makes end-users confused. Which distro to choose, is what my friends often asks me for desktop and now for mobile.

    xdg-open / mimetype for terminal applications in a minimal Wayland wm (dwl)

    I'd like to make multiple terminal apps to launch in foot terminal, but I can't figure out how to se it properly. ~/.config/mimeapps.list contains a line "terminal=foot.desktop" (tried also without .desktop). Dir /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache has everything set properly (swayimg.desktop as a imageviewer) but still every picture opens in a browser which I don't want to see. As a file managers I use lf and nnn, they both contain .desktop-files but I can't launch them with keybinds or menu launcher. Same applies to vim.desktop, nothing happens. The distro I use is Artix, but I assume this problem is unrelated to this problem. I tried to google wiki but none of the xdg- related articles contains this. Edit. I managed to find a workaround for lf and nnn by editing the Exec= line in /usr/share/applications/*.desktop file. (Exec=/usr/bin/foot -e nnn) but I still can't figure the swayimg imageviewer.
