Honestly I do alternate day fasting and weed makes it so much easier when I start running out of energy at the end of the day.

Ah, good to know.

IIRC and I may be wrong here the drive stays encrypted in sleep. Decryption is done in real time via your CPU. However the encryption key is stored in unencrypted RAM. Which is why the other comment suggests encrypting swap and hibernating, this writes RAM to disk.

To be fair there are probably many different ways to solve the problem. I’m somewhat experienced with Linux and I’ve attempted seeing up TPM LUKS decryption on boot. It’s certainly not easy or at least wasn’t when I tried. For non experienced people it’s easier to just enter the password at boot and enable auto login. Then you get the security, software, ethics, or licensing debates that accompany most Linux discussions.

They do understand the point. The problem is that if you use TPM to unlock on boot it is slightly self defeating. Now the attacker has access to your display manager or TTY. They can guess passwords, try to bypass the biometric checks, or find an exploit. But that does indicate a higher tech level that your average thief.

The common way to do it with LUKS2 and TPM as detailed on the Arch wiki. Not sure if that’ll apply at all to ZFS and Zorin though

It is less secure though. What I do is set my computer to log in on start and I set up fingerprint auth. So I only need to login once on startup with the drive decryption.

Here’s a reddit post on using clevis, TPM, and ZFS to decrypt.

You should also know that if you’re mobo dies so does your data.

Ah I missed the partitions part

To add to this podcasts and rss feeds in your field.

I use kopia, it’s more automated and deduplicates snapshot.

Yeah, shutdown /s /t $time_seconds

I think it does. If you make the choice to poorly manage your distro’s tools/website it shows that you aren’t responsible enough to manage the distro. They also had the laptop purchasing issue.

I’m not saying every distro needs to be super organized and testing shit but they should be before I recommend it to someone. Especially when there are other Arch based distros that don’t have the issues.

The newbie stuff is fair enough. I do think they get extra flak here because the distro was marked as Arch for noobs.

I don’t think that would be the case. The AUR helper would pull the updated dependencies from the Arch repos which would not be available in Manjaro’s repos

They’re valid arguments and people should be informed about it mainly because of how it was recommended a lot for beginners.

It ships with some gaming stuff, uses zen kernel, has some performance mods (I guess), and a theme as ugly as sin. But you can make any distro do what it does. I’m sure it’s in the same territory as Nobara.

Do you have proof of Manjaros usual arguments being unrelated or false? The things I’ve read over the years seem like valid criticism.

If you can’t do the time, don’t Kermit the crime.

Anecdotally I’ve been dual booting Windows 11/Linux on my laptop for a couple years and I’ve never had issues with Windows affecting the boot partition and I feel like this is much less common with EFI. You can even have a separate EFI partition for Linux and choose boot order from the BIOS.

I’ve always done partition based dual booting since I first started using Linux and the last time I remember having an issue with Windows fucking with boot setup was like early/mid 2010s and it’s only happened a couple times in like 10 years of on and off dual booting.

Huh me too but not through a VPN. You use AdGuard Home too? Maybe it got added to a block list.

Sounds like this guy compiz cubes

I got into Linux because I used a shitty Acer laptop in middle school and I couldn’t stand how slow it was. Somehow I ended up stumbling on some article or video about Linux being faster and installed Ubuntu WUBI (I think that’s what it was called, it let you install Ubuntu in Windows). Then I found myself on IRC and became a distrohopper for a few years.

When I was younger I was probably obsessed and proselytized a bit but not so much anymore. An OS is just a tool and people should use what works best for them to solve the problems they have at the time.

But I still daily drive Linux so I guess it’s my preferred tool.

It’s not very expandable and very underpowered but I’ve been using an Odroid HC-4 with Armbian and a separate compute server for a while. It’s a decent budget option.

Haha, fair enough, I feel that. I’ve been procrastinating on my home lab maintenance.
