Hi guys I’ve been taking Linux more seriously in recent and I followed this tutorial (https://youtu.be/x8GmTCdhbRA?si=LbbP2Cp47VsEjmdh) for my UI but I’ve noticed the corners on windows are solid sharp and blurred a bit… also I use CachyOS on recommendation of someone else but installed Arch Gnome…
How do I perfect the MacOS UI? Should I switch off CachyOS? Is there a permenant way to fix every steam application always being a pain with icons? Am I even posting this in the right subreddit?? I have no idea! Lemme know if you have any suggestions for me ^ ^
(To follow, extensions & images of what I’m talking abt in replies)

So was just curious, how many years till this gets called obsolete. (I just got my childhood pc delivered to me, it used ddr400 ram and pata, prolly bootable, but.... :))) so, it just got me thinking)

NixOS looks very "exotic" to me, is fun.

IM SORRY FOR SWITCHING TO DEBIAN IM SORRY IM SORRY

I JUST CAN'T HANDLE THESE PACKAGES BREAKING ALL THE TIME

I've been running AMD ThinkPads for a while and always felt like the stock kernel carries a lot of dead weight: Intel CPU/GPU drivers, NVIDIA, Dell/HP/Asus vendor blobs, server SCSI controllers, legacy filesystems, ancient WiFi drivers from 2003. None of that belongs on a ThinkPad.

So I built lowakernerl, a custom kernel that strips all of that out and keeps only what AMD ThinkPads actually need. Named after my dog, Lowa, because I love this pup so much.

Current version: 7.2.2

**What's removed:**

- Intel CPU/GPU (i915, xe, microcode)

- NVIDIA (nouveau)

- All non-ThinkPad vendor drivers (Dell, HP, Asus, Sony, Apple...)

- Server SCSI controllers (Adaptec, LSI, HP SmartArray...)

- Legacy WiFi (Prism, ZyDAS, old Ralink, IPW2100/2200...)

- Dead filesystems (ReiserFS, HFS, UFS, JFFS2...)

- Legacy network protocols (AppleTalk, ATM, X.25...)

**What stays:**

- Full AMD support (Zen1–Zen5, RDNA GPU, ACP audio, PMC, P-state)

- All ThinkPad WiFi chips (Intel AX, Qualcomm WCN, MediaTek MT7921/MT7925, Realtek RTW89)

- Realtek LAN (it's in every ThinkPad)

- HDA Realtek audio + USB audio

- ThinkPad ACPI, HID Lenovo

- KVM/AMD, VFIO

**Two variants:**

- `lowakernel-universal`: x86-64-v3, works on all AMD ThinkPads (T495 and newer)

- `lowakernel-zen5`: znver5, for Ryzen AI 300 series (T14 G5-G6, T16 G3, P14s G5-G6), includes 1000Hz tick, BBRv3 TCP, NTSYNC for Wine/Proton

Distributed as UKI (.efi) for systemd-boot users, just drop it in /boot/EFI/Linux/ and reboot. vmlinuz also available for GRUB/rEFInd, you have to generate initframs by yourself though (see readme on github page)

Based off linux-zen kernel

It's nothing fancy. Just taking a week or two on a fresh install, ironing out the rough spots, and I'll have basically my own distro!

In Linux we Mount a disk partition to access or store files on it. Here we can say two type of Mounting 1st when installing Linux and second after installation attach external disk partition.

Installation Mount:

whenever we install linux there is empty directory called /mnt which a temporary mounting point where we mount our partitioned disk to store Root system or Efi system partition or Swap.

/mnt is used for mounting root System. Underneath we create a subdirectory like /mnt/boot for ESP (Efi system partition )

Regular Mount:

when we attach a new USB drive or External Drive to our Pc we can't access or store anything. First we have partition that storage drive then we have to format it (Which mean give this partitioned disk a File System). After that we have to mount it any empty directory. /mnt is default mount point we often use. (/home /media also can be used).

Mounting means we access or stored that partitioned disk for temporary basis when we reboot out system it will automatically detach that partitioned disk. Again if we want to access this Partitioned disk we have to mount it any empty directory. Yeah it’s a bit of frustrating.

To overcome this problem we can write it to /etc/fstab configuration file. So when system boot this partitioned disk will be automatically attach to that director which you mounted.

Attaching new storage drive doesn’t mean directly mount it. To mount this drive we have to first partitioned it. After that this partitioned drive we can mount it.

I installed arch by following a person’s tutorial, and downloaded the same thing from git, which basically made the panels, its own binds, design/layout, buttons, stuff like that.
Long story short, had issues in the past with Arch, and installing it solved a lot of frustrations, but feels off since I see people do it from scratch with ricing and all that, but I just downloaded it. I know I can customize it to however I want but, could I even call it mine since I did not design everything on my own, and should I be ashamed for it?

Hello

I'm new at freeCAD, and i need to enter into a project for my college. Is there any way to connect freeCAD with the system that fusion provides ? (i can enter into the folder through the browser, and fusion doesn't work on arch)

I have been seeing a lot of people advertising Omarchy and got really interested into moving to Arch. After going deep and looking into the AI bloat it has i might try installing Arch by itself and configuring all the features i like from it to my own set up. Do you guys have any tips on how i could set it up in a similar look? I've been a year away from linux and i'm kind of a noob in Arch, but i'm willing to learn. If anyone has any tips on where i could star i would really appreciate it.

Created a custom initramfs program for boot animation that mounts kernel files , (tmpfs, devtmpfs , sysfs, proc /dev/pts) and then initalizes GPU and renders the animation by using my GIF decoder leverages the DRM/KMS using Dumb buffers because mesa plugins will skyrocket initramfs size , so no actual Hardware Acceleration but it does the decent job , also then it mounts the rootfs by looking for block devices that match the mentioned uuid and type inside /etc/mountpoint inside my initramfs and then gracefully switch roots and removes all the initramfs file (not forgetting to mention , it mounts rootfs as ro first and systemd takes over via exec and remounts in rw mode)

Then finally systemd completes the boot chain and finally it invokes animation-stop service that sends all the children process an Interrupt signal (SIGINT) to stop the animation

The fun part is, it only ports mentioned or scanned modules not all the modules

The initramfs size is 21 MB which has around 13 MB assets and 3 MB libc, linux-vdso dynamic linker, but it does the decent jobs

Currently not very stable but it makes me happy
