I thought it would be interesting to create a Linux thread on the 'boo, I don't have a template ready or anything. Might make this a news repost thread mayhaps if it's just me ig

First up on the news: 
Arch AIR malware attack
https://www.phoronix.com/news/Arch-Linux-AUR-More-Malware
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48527040

Do anyboos use Arch Linux here? I do, but I adamantly refuse to download anything on the AUR so this has not affected me at all.
>>116786 (OP) 
I thankfully don't use arch anymore. Feels like every time I updated more things broke than were fixed. AUR probably partially to blame

Arch Linux? What Windows version is this?

I couldn't even figure out how to set up SSH login to one of my loonix VPS despite having created the key pair and still have to log in using password; on top of that every few hours or days it randomly forgets what the dns servers are, deleting them from the hosts file, and I have to remote back in and re-run the same command that assigns them directly to the network interface or something.
Only distro that mostly seemed to work was kubuntu and even then only the main system partition mounts every boot despite every other partition also having been ticked as "mount on system start" in the ui. It's probably a bug but that system is too old to even bother upgrading.

Joke's on her, I already installed Tha Loonix.  I'm just pretending I haven't to get closer to Autism Foxxo.

My daily driver is an Ubuntu box.  Or, rather, Mint.  It mostly works, though there have been problems with sound.  I still have a stripped-down Windows 10 installation on a separate partition, that I use mainly for DCS World.

There is also a piece of older software I want to use, that apparently is only compatible with Vista, 7, or 8.  It was a one-man hobby project from a guy who died a couple of years back, so it's not going to get patched or rebuilt for a more recent or current Windoze version, nor is it compatible with Proton or WINE.  It's easy to find older Windows versions and install them in a virtual machine in Virtualbox, but every one I've found immediately demands a registration key.  It annoys me.
i will never ever ever use linux. ever.

First, run SSH with the -vvv flag for verbose output and mayhaps get an error you can fix. Second, here's a quick list of things to check:
- Your remote supports the encryption you used for your key, RSA has the widest compatibility
- Your SSH key is actually on the remote host's authorized_keys file in the user home directory you want to log in as
- Your .ssh and .ssh/authorized_keys are using the correct file permissions. IIRC it's 600 and 700 but just google it because why trust a random Fooanon on the internet ama'rite lol

yes i'm using devuan. i have never felt the need to use a distro other than debian/devuan except when i had hardware that was particularly new and couldn't get up to date drivers. i used arch for a while, and didn't like it. my favorite desktop environments are trinity, mate, and enlightenment e16 (which i am using now). i am currently pretending to develop a video game. it will be a rally time attack game. after that i will make an FPS game about a race of hot furry 150 mean IQ werewolves who maul nyaggers and eat their entrails - and that's what makes this post relevant to this site

Should I actually ever move on to Arch or Gentoo? I've got dis ubuntu shiiet hooked up jus like I's like it but at the same time I want to look like cool hacker anonymous 4chan man keyboard only style, not to mention the number of grievances I hear levied against systemd ev&o I've never dug enough to understand more than some vague fear of irradiation by three-letter agencies and it becoming too monolithic.

I don't recognize it either unfortunately, but I'm only familiar with the look of i3 and dwm

Gentoo is enjoyable if you like configuring your system. It gives me joy to know the system I'm running is largely configured by me, with program choices made by me, rather than things forced upon me. I like having the bare minimum setup as well, so only bloat that I deem acceptable. Also while it's negligible, compiling stuff for my system makes me happy. If you don't find some sort of autistic pleasure in these things, you might prefer arch

I thought it'd be funny to download arch on my fancy newer computer i got for Unreal Engine, and haven't had any issues with it so far. Switched to Mint a couple years ago after getting fed up with windows changing their UI/UX every few years. I'd rather not be forced to relearn things on someone else's whim. Not that I'm not relearning things, but I'll do it when i feel like it. Currently checking some distributions on an old Chromebook, and Arch does perform better than Mint, which i think is funny. It's still going to be relegated to the initial purpose of the chromebook, which is websurfing.

I usually just wipe the computer when it's acting up on me after boogering around with things i don't understand, and starting with a fresh install. Easier that way, only takes like 10 minutes and i can go do something else in the meantime.

I use the filename as the sorting mechanism. Solo female anthros get put under HMOFA for my convenience. Don't have to mess around with a bunch of folders this way.

The only game i've actually wanted to play, but can't really on Linux is Space Station 13, as BYOND hurts like heck to run, and always seems to cause a memory leak.

I set up syncthing to synchronize select directories between my PC and newly resurrected laptop. It annoys me a little, though, that you cannot synchronize individual files and must segregate what you wish to synchronize into dedicated directories. Is there a more proper way to do this? Rsync? NFS?
Oh. It did break a Kdenlive project, though. Fun. Albeit, it doesn't really seem to be syncthing's fault.
Luckily, it still works just fine on the laptop, but for whatever reason-- despite the files being identical-- the project profile has been reset to default on my PC, from 4 FPS to 25 FPS, shifting everything all over the place. I would expect that to be embedded in the main project file but apparently it's actually somewhere in Kdenlive's cache (???) which I obviously did not include in the synchronization. However, this assessment also appears to be incorrect and basically I'm an retard, I guess. I'm looking into it right now.
>>126975
the joke was linux made you clownfish out and write like that
I do like the idea of my system being perfectly trimmed and tailored to my needs and computers and other devices running the way they're "supposed" to: cleanly. At the same time... I don't think I really have the... time. The biggest thing I hope for now, frankly, is that my using Ubuntu doesn't get in the way of this for others the same way normaller giraffes granting Windows the largest userbase has been a disaster for computing more generally.
When I first switched from Windows to Linux, I used some literal who distro called Zorin for a while before finally jumping to stock Ubuntu. My plan was to then jump to Debian (I didn't realize what a useless step this would've been at the time) before moving on to Arch and ultimately ascending to computer godhood with Gentoo. Maybe I still will-- slowly-- God willing, if time permits, and all that shite.

Okay. I found it. I intuited more or less correctly. Kdenlive doesn't keep custom profiles in the project cache with the thumbnails and other similar junk, but it does save them centrally, outside the project file itself, for reference. However (!), it also does embed the profile into the project file proper. But then (!!), for whatever reason (?), it also embeds a reference to the central profile reference as a hardcoded file path as <property name="kdenlive:docproperties.profile"> (??). And this property is allowed to override the embedded profile (???). So what happened is that when my laptop, with its fresh Kdenlive installation, inferred and reconstructed the custom profile from the embedded one and stored it, it also wrote the aforementioned property tag pointing to customprofile0 in the central storage. This was synced to my PC, where the corresponding file is customprofile3. So when I open it on the PC, it ignores the embedded profile...
I solved it by just deleting the property tag from the project file altogether. I don't know why it's designed this way but I'm sure the roof rats had something to do with it.
