While there may be a way to upgrade, general consensus is that it’s not possible and you should reinstall.

If you’re somewhat tech savvy, don’t have anything against the high seas and absolutely need Windows, look into Windows 10 LTSC.

This is not Apple Pay for customers we are talking about. This is a feature for merchants so they can receive money on their iPhone from customers without requiring extra hardware like a card reader.

Wenn die Spiele aber nur starten, wenn sie eine Verbindung zu Steam haben (bzw. die Verbindung von Steam abgesegnet werden muss), bringt es dir doch nix, wenn du einen Snapshot mit den Executables aufm NAS rumfliegen hast, oder?

Road work ahead? Yeah, I sure hope it does.

Probably because there is absolutely nothing new to announce except the upgraded processor and support for the Apple Pencil Pro.

What forced obsolescence are you talking about? The mini 2 is an 11 year old device that received feature updates for 6 years and security updates for 10 years. Seems fair to me and is probably more than most Android tablets would give you.

Wenn Schach heute erfunden worden wäre, gäbs nur die Hälfte an Spielfiguren, den Rest gibts dann mit und mit als DLC.

Distrobox is probably what you’re looking for.

I tried Bazzite a few months ago and replaced it with a non-immutable distro in the same day because I couldn't get my password manager (1Password) to work with Firefox.

The installation of 1Password was kind of a hassle as there is no official way to install it systemwide on an immutable distro, so I followed an unofficial tutorial. That worked somehow, but then came the integration into Firefox. For this to work, you have to install firefox as a native package, too, so you have to layer it through ostree.

But here comes the issue: The original Silverblue does already include native Firefox, and Bazzite removed it and replaced it with a flatpak. I have googled a lot and haven't found an answer yet on how to layer a package that was removed in a previous layer. I'm not sure if it's even possible, but the complete lack of documentation for such a trivial thing really turned me away from immutable distros. When I had an issue on Arch, I would find the answer in the ArchWiki 95% of the time, but here I couldn't even find a proper documentation for how the layering works.

This on top of other issues like not being able to get Autocomplete/Intellisense working in VSCode because I can't properly install the required compilers and libraries made me turn back to Arch in a single day. Maybe it's just my mindset that's a bit stuck on how to do things the "old" way, but if I have to spent hours to get even a basic workflow going for me, then I guess I'm not yet ready for immutable distros.

They are still considered essential in German schools.

Hi everyone,

ever since I switched to Arch about two months ago, most applications segfault multiple times a day. There doesn't seem to be any pattern for the crashes, sometimes it's even happening while idling (e.g. reading a news article).

Things I've tried without any luck so far:

  • Running Firefox in safe-mode without any extensions
  • Switching from regular to LTS kernel
  • Disable Hardware Acceleration in Firefox
  • Change RAM speed and timings
  • Run Memtest successfully
  • Replace entire RAM with a new certified kit
  • Use only a single RAM slot
  • Apply Ryzen fixes (iommu=soft, limit c-states)
  • Use only a single CPU core (maxcpus=1)
  • Downgrade Nvidia driver to 535xx
  • Use Nouveau instead of the nvidia driver
  • Use Openbox instead of KDE
  • Disable zswap and THP

Here's full journalctl from a day where both Spotify and Firefox crashed at the end, a few seconds after each other:

https://pastebin.com/BH0LMnD9

Some more info about my system:

  • Ryzen 5 3600X
  • MSI B450M PRO-VDH Max
  • 32GB RAM @ 3200MHz
  • Geforce RTX 2070 SUPER (using nvidia-dkms)
  • Plasma 5.27.10 on X11

I'm pretty sure that it's not hardware related, because I've booted up a Debian 12 live image where everything ran for several hours without a crash. But it seems to be Arch related, as I also booted up a fresh EndeavourOS live image (so basically Arch), where applications also randomly segfaulted. Any idea why everything works fine on Debian but not on Arch? Debian uses the 6.1 kernel, which I already tried, so that's not it.

Let me know if you need any more information that might help solve this issue. Thanks!

Edit [solved]: It looks like disabling PBO in the UEFI/BIOS did the trick. The strange thing is, after enabling it again, it's still not crashing again. Someone suspected that the MoBo default/training settings were faulty, so I guess this was a very rare case here. That's probably why it took so long to find a solution. Thanks everyone for helping me out!
