Showcase Just because I'm on Arch doesn't mean I can't have a MacOS Design

I straight up thought that I couldn't get Liquid Glass on Liux because of Linux or whatever but I recently jailbroke my iPhone SE and got Liquid Glass on there so my desire to get Liquid Glass on my desktop grew and here we are, for anyone who wants the links to the tools I used, here you go. But on top of wanting the Liquid Glass aestetic I also like Frytiger Aero and Apple's new design is what I believe to be a love to that. Anyways, I hope this helps someone who wants a MacOS26 environment on their Linux System

General California's age verification laws are getting out of hand. Now someone's opened a PR to add a mandatory birth date field to archinstall

Why are these people so motivated to comply with this shitty law. I cant use arch with mandatory age verification

Discussion Dual booted Arch Linux with AI help, but never really learned Linux — where do I go from here?

• Upvotes

I dual booted arch quite a long time ago and never really had much problem with it because I didn't manually install it, i always had gemini by my side and it felt like things were quite easy but I think I didn't get to learn much because of that, what do I need to do from here on to learn more

Question What to backup when reinstalling arch?

2 Upvotes

So, it has finally happened and after around a year of dual-booting arch, it has finally broken. I’m going to reinstall it, but I’m not sure how to do it. What should I take from the old install so that most things are as they were, and what shouldn’t I take so that it doesn’t instantly break again?

Help/Support Title: Can’t boot into Windows from USB – keeps sending me back to BIOS (currently using Arch Linux)

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m currently running Arch Linux, and I’m trying to switch back to Windows. However, I’m having trouble booting from my Windows installation USB.

Whenever I select the USB drive in the BIOS boot menu, the PC attempts to boot from it but sends me straight back to the BIOS instead of launching the Windows installer.

I’ve already enabled Secure Boot in the BIOS, but the problem still persists.

My problem:

  • I’m currently using Arch Linux.
  • I want to reinstall Windows using a bootable USB drive.
  • When I select the USB drive as the boot device, I end up back in the BIOS.
  • Secure Boot is enabled, but it doesn’t seem to help.

Has anyone experienced this issue or knows how to fix it?

Could this be related to the USB creation method, UEFI settings, Secure Boot, or something else?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Help/Support A little NitroSense-like TUI front for kernel driver shenanigans

Post image
7 Upvotes

This is a frontend I made for my own linux tool that replicates my experience with the original Windows app.

This is similar to some other tools out there like Linuwu-sense and the like, but the implementation is different, such as no-sudo TUI (handing off the interaction to the daemon rather than straight to sysfs).

In other notes, this is my first time interacting with the general arch community, as I've started opening up to tinkering with modern arch. If anything I do is or feels wrong, please do let me know.

Edit: repo: https://github.com/SurrealArts/nitro-linux

Other Cannot Believe Linux Got Epic Games Store & Xbox Game Pass Native Games Now!

Post image
70 Upvotes

While the Linux Epic Games Store is official from Epic, it is in alpha-development.

The Xbox Gamepass is a 3rd-party implementation [Xodus Nexus] that allows users to login to their Xbox/Microsoft account to access/download titles which they own the licenses; meaning purchases of games or having a subscription to Gamepass entitled games.

Neither of these are running through a browser or cloud streaming services.

The next and last step is anti-cheat and that riddle should be solved in 2027!

Help/Support DisplayLink/EVDI Installer Standalone Python TUI

0 Upvotes

https://github.com/thompsonseanr/DisplayLink-EVDI-Install-Script/releases/tag/v1.1.3

Due to an issue encountered with an older, incompatible version of EVDI and the latest Linux 7.X.X kernel, this python TUI was written to decouple the version of the EVDI module bundled with the Synaptics DisplayLink Driver and Manager installer and give users the option to choose the version of EVDI from the DisplayLink EVDI Git Repo that works for their kernel version.

Tested in:

Void
Fedora 44
Arch
openSUSE Tumbleweed

General Wife got to see Arch with a Tiling Window Manager at work last night... NO GO! 😀

328 Upvotes

My wife needed to use my laptop last night since she cant find her charger for hers. I told her she wouldn't like my setup (she's never used anything other than a Windows like system).

So, the computer boots up. I was in the bathroom and I hear her say, "How the hell do I open Firefox on this thing"? ...the fun has begun.

I have hot keys set for the more popular stuff I use so I hit the Super key and the 1 and Firefox opens. She says, "Wait... what did you just do"? My comment... "Opened Firefox". 😀

Did the same with other things and I think she liked that I wasn't using the mouse for anything. So, she may switch soon to Arch with a Tiling Window Manager. 😀
