Hum, on retrospect, my ISO might be just corrupted. I have never tried to redownload it.

I never know gnome has a image writer tool, and would you please let me know what “dd” stands for?

recently I have encountered a problem with this, it is indeed not so straightforward to create a bootable windows 10 USB instillation media under linux.

The media created by fedora media writer is not bootable and the media created by ventoy lacks drivers. I was then able to create a media quite easily with the last windows machine in my household. I don’t know if it is a temporary bug or fundamental incompatibility.

So I would suggest you to keep a windows installation media at hand in case you need to switch back, or make sure at least one of your friend has a windows machine you can borrow.

I think it is made by the same author, thus archived at similar time.

Lol archived! https://github.com/dylanaraps/pfetch

I have seen tech illiterate people who are very comfortable with steam deck.

She doesn’t even know macbook charger can charge steam deck. She was complaining to me that she is very afraid of losing her steam deck charger, since she doesn’t have a spare.

So the total positive rate, from my observation, is around 100%, with sample size of 1.

It is useful to check the manifest file, some developer list additional setup guide and options in their github readme.

Can’t you just use github API? everything is hosted on github.

You can basically list all the package under the flathub org, git clone, and build them.

I use a client because I don’t want microsoft to remember me when I go on other microsoft site besides their web email client.

I guess I can use a dedicated browser for email, but that is pretty much just a email client using more resources.

Sorry, I was referring to the links given in the article, not the article itself. Specifically, the source of their “90%” claim: http://www.cec.com.cn/jtxw/2019/1209/8ac085cc6e112a0f016ee947c8ac00b5.html

I have found a article (in Chinese, by Chinese media, to eliminate “western bias”) documenting the current state of transition:

https://www.thepaper.cn/newsDetail_forward_23639950

Although this article states that the transition is happening, but it seems like it is no where near mainstream in Chinese government.

There are also a Chinese government version of windows : https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2017/05/23/announcing-windows-10-china-government-edition-new-surface-pro/ , which seems like a strong competitor of linux.

The link they give leads to a 404 page, which is disappointing. I have a few friend and family member works in the public sector and government of China, as far as I know, none of them have heard about linux.

So probably not 90% yet.

Sorry to burst your hexbear bubble, China mostly use out-dated Windows, even though they want to switch to linux, it is not even close to being done.

Even wechat is unsupported on linux, which makes linux unusable for most people in China. Plus most people need mirrors to use most FOSS software in China, with most of the privacy centric ones are completely blocked.

This is an example of such mirror: https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/ , a more complete list can be found here: https://github.com/vra/mirrors-china. Most popular distros are included in these mirrors.

Basically there is few ways to get FOSS software and update directly from the developers in China, which tends to be the most secure way.

I use xorg on my desktop, because nvidia card don’t have good support for my applications on wayland. Specifically, typing in electron app will jitter. I will be switching to wayland if this problem is solved.

I use wayland on my laptop because it is more secure and supports one-to-one gesture, which is crucial for trackpad.

That is interesting. BTW, I don’t assume that command will run forever right, i.e. it will terminate relatively soon? so that could be why the service is deactivated, not because it is not run. You can try to add ; echo "command terminated" at the end of ExecStart to see if it is terminated, you can also try to echo the exit code to debug.

If the program you use has a verbose mode, you can also try to turn it on to see if there is any error. EDIT: indeed, alsactrl restore --debug

There is also a possiblity that this service is run before the device you need to restore is loaded, so it won’t have any effect.

On a related note, did you install the program via your package manager, and what distro are you running. Because sometimes SELinux will block the program running. But the error message will say permission denied, instead of your message.

Does after=... solve the problem or cause the problem? Sorry, I cannot parse what you were trying to say.

Do I get new puzzles every week if I lived in a escape room?

Portainer are great too! But yacht seems to be specifically designed for self-hosting.

It is pretty great, but for now they are still mainly aimed at power users. I have used home manager for a bit, but I feel some module are not exactly well maintained, and using it is not exactly “maintenance-free”. BTW, they pollute your hone dir like crazy, as if xdg has never existed.

I feel like nix is aimed as ease of deployment, but not the ease of maintenance especially for desktop use. However, I love atomic distros, they are on the part of the spectrum, you cannot replicate your setup exactly by copying a dir, but they are very easy to use, with sane default.

If you run a systemd distro (which is most distro, arch, debian, fedora, and most of their derivatives), you can create a service file, which will autostart as root on startup.

The service file /etc/systemd/system/<your service>.service should like

[Unit]
Description=some description

[Service]
ExecStart=alsactrl restore

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

then

systemctl enable <your service>.service --now

you can check its status via

systemctl status <your service>.service

you will need to change <your service> to your desired service name.

For details, read: https://linuxhandbook.com/create-systemd-services/

Oh! in that case may I suggest yachts with docker containers? https://yacht.sh/

Everything on my homeserver is directly installed on the server, keeping them up-to-date is pretty annoying, and permission control is completely non-existent.

Since want to do things the hard way, I believe this can also be a good opportunity to do things in the “better” way (at least IMO).

Thanks for correcting me!
