I kinda wanna try Gentoo just for the experience, but as someone who already uses Arch, I'm worried it will take up more of my time than my current setup already does.

I use Ardour. It looks pretty complicated to use at first glance, but everything you would need is there in one of the four modes in the top right corner.
I've tried Reaper for the plugins and the generally good reputation, but I couldn't understand the empty interface whatsoever.

Np. Thanks for the reply! You have so far been the second source of knowledge I have seen on question 2. I'll probably go the multiple amps route though as slowly building an amp farm is more budget friendly atm.

Just because not many people use a package, doesn't mean it is irrelevant. For open source packages (or anything really), as soon as one additional person uses a package, that package becomes relevant. The person/people using it become its advertisers, and when enough people are seen using a product, especially a free one, a larger group will use either that package or something similar to cut their own programming costs.
This is simplified, but the point is that we need to stop this sort of thing at the root (the package itself) before it gets noticed by larger groups and companies who might actually get away with this BS. Always remember, we are tech/privacy nerds. We are the minority, and the average person doesn't care until something hurts them directly.

My point is less that leaving Arch alone breaks things and more that updating after a really long time can break something. It also kinda defeats the point of using a rolling release distro. I can see how you thought i was spreading misinformation though. My bad for poor wording.

It's a desktop PC with mostly unbalanced analogue audio outputs. Eventually I plan to get a dac and run from pc to that to amp(s), but rn I have my priorities set on building my output.
1) If I put 2 8 ohm woofers in parallel, can I run them with a 4 ohm crossover and tweeter? 2) Is it a good idea to to use a bunch of amps instead of a single receiver for surround sound? Good analogue receivers are expensive and I don't have enough speakers to fill all the channels yet.

Arch Linux with NVIDIA is definitely not great for newbies, especially for people who can't keep up with the distro. If left unupdated for too long, your system may break. Even if you update every day, you could break something. You just never win with a rolling release distro like this. My only saving grace is that I run with an AMD gpu and so far, that thing has just worked.
My tip for anyone switching to Linux is to switch to AMD. Even if NVIDIA is better overall for performance and features, even if the last time you tried AMD on your windows system it was slow and a bit buggy, on Linux, AMD just works, without extra steps.

It depends on what you have installed and what you do with your device. I just so happen to do a ton of stuff and have way too many packages installed. The big difference is that you don't have to restart with Arch, meaning you might not know when something broke until it loads up the new code later.
So I just fixed my Arch KDE install this morning (I broke plasma after an update) and now I have an issue with **sudo**. It simply doesn't do anything when I use it manually in the terminal and when I use _yay_, it gives an exec format error for the sudo file. After checking on the file using both the _file_ command and _kate_. Both say that the file is empty. Is that supposed to be the case? If not, how do I fix it?
Hello! I would like to request the ability to edit posts from this app. I usually use something like this to add a "[SOLVED]" tag to issue posts or to leave updates on certain posts for people too tired/lazy to scroll down and read the replies. Unfortunately, I do not know much programming, so I cannot do this myself.

I also had that problem, but didn't think much of it since I don't really turn off my VPN often. It only really affected me when either my first issue occurred or ProtonVPN crashed for whatever reason. So far, running ProtonVPN through OpenVPN had solved this issue for me.
Hello once again! Since I cannot edit old Lemmy posts, here's an update on my two posts: _Issue with NetworkManager_ and _Internet Connection Issue #2_. For the first post, the issue has not reoccurred where NetworkManager would ask for my password almost every day since a NetworkManager update that happened sometime between now and 2 weeks ago (I don't remember exact day). For the second post, the problem of the stalling internet connection over VPN is most likely with the ProtonVPN Linux app. Someone recommended that I use the VPN via OpenVPN and so far, that has worked without flaw. I have since uninstalled the app and do not plan to use it anymore. Thanks for all the helpful replies and I hope someone might find my posts useful sometime in the future!

This has worked nicely! Thanks
Anybody have tips for planning linear/dungeon maps? I'm currently trying to create a metroidvania map and so far, I've done a rough map of my start and my hazard areas. I'm mainly concerned with how to guide players through the map with minimal ui aid, but any help is great!

All of my other devices are either Windows or Android for convenience. The VPN works on Windows, but I can't isolate this issue via that route as those devices are old and have their own issues.
I have tried running my system without vpn and this specific issue hasn't appeared from yesterday until now. It is making me feel a little uncomfortable not having it on though.
I'm going to try another suggestion, then I'll come back to this one if it still doesn't work.
I seem to have a problem with internet connectivity. I use **NetworkManager** with **Proton VPN** on an _Arch KDE_ system. The wifi and VPN stay connected, but every once in a while the upload and download rates will go down to, at most, a few hundred KiB/s. The issue can be solved temporarily by disconnecting and reconnecting the VPN, but as I've had a similar issue without the VPN before, I do not know whether this is a VPN issue or a NetworkManager issue.

Unfortunately, the wifi password issue still occurs, but at least it is even less frequent than before (>1 day between password requests).
KrispeeIguana 1y ago • 100%
I restarted my system. All of my configurations should be equivalent to those in the wiki. I'll reply again if the issue still occurs in a few days.

I do indeed have plasma-meta.

The issue still occurs, but not nearly as often as it did before.

Apparently I had uninstalled the kwallet manager. I'll change the password and see if my problem still occurs.
KrispeeIguana 1y ago • 100%
Do you know how I would do that when I cannot access kwallet from the settings?
KrispeeIguana 1y ago • 100%
Unfortunately, several other programs use this as a dependency and some of those programs are required by stuff like plasma-meta.

The password for kwallet is different bc I thought I might have ended up using it to manage money. I did not.
Hello! I use an Arch Linux distro with KDE on an ASUS X570 board that has built-in wifi. The issue is that I can't for the life of me get the wifi to work without asking me for the wifi password what feels like every hour. The hardware is active, the software is active, Network Manager is active, the wifi profile is fine, the SSID is fine, the security type is set properly, the password is saved and set to use for all users. I've tried restarting Network Manager, installing Network Manager with iwd backend, updating my system, restarting my system, and using nmtui to force home wifi. Help
About a year ago I aquired a pair of these speakers and a diy sub for free. According to a few searches, they are supposed to be paired with a cd receiver. Does the cd receiver matter if I already have a home theater receiver? Are these any good for music and home theater?

Can anyone explain what voodoo magic Bethesda used to make Starfield, a game that usually runs below 30fps on my pc, feel like it's running above that? I mean, not even Nintendo on their own console has achieved this feat.
