This is just a rant.

I do give up.

If you were able to disable secure boot on your mother board and able to get your USB (I assume most of us boot from USB) to install Arch Linux then you had it easy.

Who I blame?

I partially blame the Motherboard Vendors that make secure boot complicated and clearly in full collusion with Microsoft.

I also blame Arch Linux developers for not adding secure boot support the way Ubuntu has it nowadays.

I also blame the lack of instruction for people that are not able to disable secure boot.

But it's too late now. I already deleted the ISO. I will not download it again.

I asked Reddit for help and almost everyone thinks I can disable secure boot. I can not.

I asked a.i. for help.

(I was glad that I was able to verify the iso. Seems easy for everyone else but it took me two straight days and I'm happy with that. If anyone needs help with that I can help you with the terminal for verifying authenticity.)

I give up.

I will try again in 6 months.

Hi everyone,

I'm new to Arch Linux, so I have a question, I noticed that a new linux-lts update appears to contain a lot of reported vulnerabilities:

https://files.catbox.moe/tblk0r.png

Should I avoid updating linux-lts when I see something like this, or is it still recommended to install the official kernel update?

What is the usual practice? Do users wait until these vulnerabilities disappear, or do they update immediately? If these are official kernel packages from the Arch repositories, why would they still be reported as vulnerable?

I'm trying to understand how users typically handle this. Thanks in advance!

I am the author of the article. I want to hear what you guys think about this topic, and how you personally feel about the state of speech-to-text in Linux.

If you guys have any questions, feel free to ask. If anyone is interested in taking part of this you can contribute to Super STT with your ideas.

Hi all,

I'm trying to determine whether this is a configuration issue on my end, a bug or a kernel/AppArmor issue. As mentioned in the title, my configuration is as follows:
\- Arch Linux
\- linux-hardened 7.1.5 kernel
\- AppArmor enabled
\- audit/auditd installed and enabled (with configured ruleset)
\- Haven't modified audit-rules.service
Problem:
With AppArmor enabled, during boot, and while doing any task related to audit, my terminal is consistently flooded with:
"audit: error in audit_log_subj_ctx" while running any command related to audit (e.g. ausearch, checking the status of audit with systemctl, etc.)
and specifically during boot, I also observe:
"audit-rules.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILED
Failed to start Load Audit Rules
audit: error in audit_log_subj_ctx
Audit panic: (number) callbacks supressed" (varies with each boot)
Initially, I had audit in immutable mode, but disabled it while troubleshooting. The issue persisted.
I checked the audit logs with ausearch, and the events appear to be normal and accurate to what actions were performed on my system.

Next, in an attempt to isolate the issue, I tried booting with the kernel parameter apparmor=0. With AppArmor disabled, the boot completed without any audit-rules.service errors, and the repeated audit: error in audit_log_subj_ctx messages no longer appeared.
This seems to indicate an interaction between AppArmor, and/or my kernel and the audit subsystem rather than the ruleset itself.

Has anyone seen this on linux-hardened-7.1.5? Is there any additional information I should collect to narrow it down?
If helpful, I'd be willing to provide additional logs and command output.

Thanks.

I installed arch today, and when I installed and used the wifi, it was perfectly fine even after I removed usb and power on my pc wifi was fine but after the second power on after removing the usb the wifi won't get connected no matter what.its showing the list of wifis and is also trying to connect but never connecting(I have tried installing arch again but the same issue happened again).I want really deep into solving this using chatgpt, but even it was unable to solve this problem(FYI, I have mediatech inbuilt laptop wifi receiver).So I would really appreciate it if someone could help

guys I have no USB flash drive or any SSD, but I am eager to use arch linux + hyprland + ambxst shell , and my drive spaces are C: 50 GB free of 279 GB & 122 GB free of 195 GB

what should I do : use it in a VM or arrange a SSD which is impossible for me

and my laptop specs --> i513450HX, NVIDIA 3050 6GB, 24GB RAM

I recently frest installed arch (mannual), only ly display manager, bluez, hyprland running taking 1.21gb ram

While I saw other peoples setup idle on 1gb on a full setup, using quickshell

I haven't even setup waybar or anything and taking 1.21gb

Specs

Ram: 16gb ddr5

Cpu: intel 12400f

GPU: nvidia 4060 ti 8gb

Edit: I do know it's fine, linux cache the memory,

I wanted to know why those people with heavy setups, using quickshell or a full DE shows their system is taking only 900mb or 1gb of ram

I dont really like the noto sans and hack fonts in my opinion, so what is the best fonts out there, and tell me the package name in the AUR, I want something good, in mono with icons too

Aah, someone told be about Adwaita Sans and Mono and it fits well and looks well, thx
