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.

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.

I am planning to get an external storage for Ventoy use. My current random usb 3.1 stick writes .iso-files with only 10-15 mbps only. 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.

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.

Does this give any real world value for boot times or anything else?

I have no possibility to test this in VM so that's why I'm asking if anybody has actually tried this and found benefits.

Is there a way to activate weekly updates into flatpak? In a way, which doesn't ask over the internet if any updates are available before scheduler goes off.

This isn't a big issue but my grandparents hates to get updates too often (because Windows used to break so often lol). They have LMDE6 in use, if that matters.

I am trying to experiment with RedoxOS in qemu and in a virtualbox, but the internet connection doesn't work out of the box. I tried to search from the documentation (which is great, thank you all for maintaining it) for the steps how to activate but no success.

So, how am I supposed to activate the internet connection in a VM?

I can't delete any games because nothing happens when I try to either delete the game or manage game files.

I tried to reboot and waited for game updates but no success. Is this a known issue or what?

The default theme is superior in dark, but for some unknown reason to me the mouse right click has white background. How I can change it to dark as well?

Distro: Artix

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.

I am asking for learning purposes. I don't fully understand what Emacs does with sound either, but is there a logical reason why it still uses Alsa and not Pipewire?

Is Alpine also becoming immutable, or is this development towards immutable independent/separate from Alpine?

I'm not involved in the project by any means. Not even an user yet. Just a fanboy. Thanks for everybody involved in this project.
