@regendans Interesting! So Noctalia is a window manager? I hadn't heard about it, but it seems there's quite a lot happening with it. There's no entry for it on the #ArchWiki, surprisingly.

I've been using #Labwc on my old #Thinkpad as a lightweight #KDE alternative, which is pretty nice too. An #Openbox alternative for #Wayland.

Ich bin mit #Manjaro in die #Linuxwelt eingestiegen und mittlerweile nutze ich #Arch mit einem KDE Desktop auf dem PC und Laptop. Dinge die nicht auf Anhieb funktioniert haben, konnte ich im #ArchWiki recherchieren. Meine Lernkurve ist dadurch steil gestiegen. Zur Zeit läuft alles extrem schnell, intuitiver und ohne Konto bei einem #BigTech Unternehmen.
Danke an alle Entwickler da draußen, die ihre Freizeit für die Gemeinschaft opfern, um die Software zu verbessern und weiter entwickeln. ❤

@berniework I wish there were an Arch Wiki alternative for the "regular" distros. While it's sufficiently distro-agnostic, I can't help but wonder if the lack of one for beginner-friendly distros turns people away from Linux.

I can't even count how many times I have found a solution to my problems with Linux desktop on archwiki site. I dare to say that is the best Linux documentation on the web (among all distributions). Thank you archwiki maintainers ❤️ #archwiki #Linux #archlinux

@kirschner The #ArchWiki is the reason why I've been using #ArchLinux for about 13 years.

@kirschner Truly, the #ArchWiki is easily the best source of Linux documentation on the net. Whether you actually use Arch or not.

On the picture I and @fsfe 's vice president Heiki thank the @archlinux Project Lead @anthraxx (with one of the most awesome sweaters🥰 ) and
#ArchWiki maintainer Ferdinand at #FOSDEM after handing over two bars of "hacker chocolate" to them.

Thanks also to @Foxboron for ensuring we were able to met at #FOSDEM and introducing us there.

❤️ Thank you to the #Archlinux Wiki maintainers! ❤️

#Maintainers in general, and maintainers of documentation most of the time get way too little recognition for their contributions to #SoftwareFreedom.

ArchWiki is one of the pearls of the internet! That's why I dedicated my this year's #ilovefs post to the #ArchWiki maintainers!

So, I like the perspective of optimizing swappiness on #Fedora, because I started to run out of memory as demands have grown. 8 GB simply doesn't cut it.

But according to biskitpagla, it's not recommended to take up more #ZRAM than my actual #RAM, because it would override all attempts at switching to #swap file in case ZRAM is exhausted.[1]

#ArchWiki has some config to make better use of ZRAM along with swappiness[2], so I'll take it.

TIL you can install the Arch Wiki offline on your computer with pacman. To do this, run:

sudo pacman -S arch-wiki-docs

This installs the wiki in html form on your system at:

/usr/share/doc/arch-wiki/html/en/

And can be read with your browser with:

file:///usr/share/doc/arch-wiki/html/en/Main_page.html

If you don't want the html version, you can also install arch-wiki-lite and use CLI or even wikiman - which is another amazing tool and works on/for other distros https://github.com/filiparag/wikiman?tab=readme-ov-file#additional-documentation-sources

@agowa338 if you refer to #OpenPGP cards here, have a look at the #ArchWiki article (and the upstream documentation) for the oct CLI: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/OpenPGP-card-tools

#Linux audio is bizarrely confusing to a regular user lol - if I were to configure a #PulseAudio setting (i.e. clock.force-quantum) but obviously most systems now have moved to using #PipeWire, but from what I can tell or think to understand is that systems use PipeWire via something called #WirePlumber, should this (user-specific) configuration be done in a WirePlumber config, or PipeWire? I normally could learn these things easily through the #ArchWiki, but so far, this topic is completely lost on me lol.

Das #VPN der #UniBonn gibt mittlerweile eine äußerst unhilfreiche 404-not-found Fehlermeldung zurück, wenn man sich unter #Linux (#openconnect cli oder #NetworkManager GUI) verbinden möchte.

Die Lösung ist (natürlich!) wie hier¹ im #ArchWiki erwähnt:

> sudo openconnect --useragent=AnyConnect unibn-vpn.uni-bonn.de

Also dem Gateway vorgaukeln, dass man der Cisco AnyConnect client ist 😑

Another #KDE Wallet question I've been trying to figure out since last nite: Is it really not possible to have it auto-unlock once for all (allowed) apps to access/read from upon login in an autologin (SDDM) desktop?

Following the #ArchWiki, it seems to suggest that you could (on #KDEPlasma) by:

- Installing kwallet-pam
- Create a (default) wallet named kdewallet using blowfish encryption instead of using a GPG key
- Set the same password for the wallet as your user password

and yet after an auto login to the desktop, whenever an app needs access to the wallet I created, I need to enter the password once for each app.

Perhaps I should also configure PAM as shown in the (confusing) subtopic of the linked guide in the wiki - eventho it says SDDM should not require any edit?

It said that these lines should be present (in PAM):

auth            optional        pam_kwallet5.so
session         optional        pam_kwallet5.so auto_start

-auth       optional    pam_kwallet5.so
-session    optional    pam_kwallet5.so         auto_start

Lol. I was being a bit annoyed at the wording of the #ecdsa concern section in the #archwiki as it lacks neuance and largely just quotes You Know Who^tm as the source.

However it seems like #Wikipedia has almost an identical section on it's wikipage.

Turns out someone just copypasted the section from archwiki.

@hko @maros @nullagent true!

I have spent some time documenting the ones we package in the #ArchWiki :

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Stateless_OpenPGP

I am really happy that some implementations like #rsop also have #OpenPGP card support 😉

The last time i used #archlinux was a year ago, and since then, i learned a lot about #linux. I installed outdated #AUR packages, updated my system everyday and didn't really understand how #pacman works. This time, i will take advantage of the #archwiki.
There is still quite a lot to learn, but that will never change.

Дошли руки до #fprint настроить на моем новом ноуте. Оказалось не просто, а очень просто. Теперь открываю локскрин одним прикосновением пальца.

Два момента. В современной Плазме совсем нестрашно не ставить ввод пароля впереди остальных методов, как советует #archwiki. #Плазма всё равно спросит пароль, если всё остальное не сработает.

Второй момент, я не стал ставить фпринт в #SDDM, потому что на старте всё равно пароль нужен, чтобы расшифровать #KWallet. Ну а раз пароль всё равно надо вводить, то почему бы и не ввести его в положенном месте.

А вы какие ещё интересные моменты знаете про сканер пальца на ноутбуках?

I have several old ONScripter-EN and KiriKiri visual novels that use MIDI files for sound. I thought I had resolved my difficulties on Linux, but I had an issue where sound would work running the games under WINE but not when running the native Linux versions of ONScripter-EN games (note the KiriKiri games have no Linux version). Back into the Arch Wiki I went... I eventually resolved the issue with a proper Fluidsynth configuration and loading three kernel modules. This is the long saga (note I did this on EndeavourOS, but the issues should be generally applicable for those of you interested in the issue on Linux).

(Note all of these steps are in the Arch Wiki. To the extent this is a "guide" -- consider it one only in that I highlight an issue and point people to where I found the solution.)

I am using #Archlinux and want to replace my current #keyboardlayout with the #workman layout.

The #archwiki and #manpages are incredible - but I find myself unable to grasp which steps exactly I have to do, to accomplish what I aim to achieve.

Can some friendly person help me out, or give me a hint on what needs to be done?

@Gina Installed #cozycloud on the weekend. Don't even bother with the "stable" branch and save yourself a lot of pain. Haven't seen such a bad documented piece of software in years. Run into "bugs" closed over 12 months ago! I'm not using Arch but damn, that #ArchWiki really saved the day [again] #WorkingOutLoud
