Waking up in the bag is a known problem with Windows’ new sleep mode but the rest ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ ͡⁠°⁠ ͜⁠ʖ⁠ ͡⁠°⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

OpenMediaVault! It has a nice web UI and it’s Debian based. However the development cycle doesn’t always line up with Debian releases so sometimes it can take a few months to switch major versions.

Yeah I upgraded my Odroid and ran into some issues with Armbian but I was able to work through it thanks to this post. I guess Armbian broke the repos a little and it prevented OMV from cleanly auto updating with the script.

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

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

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 removed 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.

Let’s make a petition. Kernel version 6.9.420 must be free!

Yeah, but with a light workload (browsing, some videos, office applications). It lasts longer than Windows where I get like 5 hours.

Kinda true though. I wish Framework would focus on power usage a bit. As much as I love the concept and laptop the battery life is not one of its strong points. I’ve done a lot of tuning and squeeze about 6-7 hrs out at ~40% screen brightness.

IIRC framework is working on addressing the expansion card issue via firmware/BIOS but it’s been a while since I’ve seen any updates.

I generally lose 20-40% battery overnight with USBC and USBA in deep sleep mode. But I have set up hibernate in the past and had it working.

See: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Power_management/Suspend_and_hibernate

You’re probably missing a swap position or file. Modern Linux distro don’t really support hibernate out of the box.

Also depending on ports you can have worse sleeping power draw. All USB C will give you the best battery life.

Not OP but I’m looking forward to a really insignificant bug fix. When I open a context menu on my second monitor that uses a different scaling it flickers and the background drops out. It’s just visual and I almost never use that context menu but knowing it’s there bothers me. Per the bug report I filed it was planned to be resolved with the other Wayland fixes in v6.

Can’t they just do this by switching to a TTY? (Ctrl + alt + F1, F2…) Might be less work than chrooting.
