Thanks, my friend. I ran it already but I had not seen any real "hooks" I was looking for. Then I realised I didn;t run it verbose. Thanks again!

Good evening! I am using KDE Neon 6 and I am trying to do some GPU passthrough with a video tutorial. It tells me to run.. sudo mkinitcpio -p linux However my install says that is not installed. When I try and install it it says "Unable to locate package mkinitcpio". I see dracut is used for...

I'm trying this on a laptop with both Intel and a 4070. So I should be good to leave Linux on the Intel card and send the Nvidia one to the VM.

Omg, I hate you. This entire time I have been trying to get games to run in Linux and it's nothing but a hassle and never once considered a VM.. I'm such a fucking idiot.

Love your posts!

That's unlikely.

That's weird, sorry I can't help, but I ran it on Mint and KDE Neon plasma 6 and they both ran fine. I had issues otherwise, but not graphically.

I've been using Wayland on my 4070 for a while. What issues are you having?

Why does it have to be so specific at all? Why a specific use-case to get people behind it How about I just want my phone to be OFF when I turn it off? Seems reasonable to me.

Interesting.

I am curious about something specific. I read the article ,but I feel like maybe I missed something. It powers a Bluetooth chip... Not wifi. So if I do "find my device", I would technically have to do so via bt. How?

My issue is that it can be tracked if I decide to power it off. I've powered it off for a reason. It's not convenient.

https://www.theverge.com/2024/4/8/24123909/google-pixel-8-pro-offline-dead-battery-location-finding Absolutely wild that they think this is a "convenient feature". A bit sketchy to me.

This exact reason? Oddly specific.

I appreciate the help, I really do. I've already done all of those steps myself. I am a technician by trade and solving problems is something I love doing. Likely why I tried a dozen ways to install it without success. By default soda is selected, but after trying all these options (game, app...

I did. It has the same result. I tried it under all suggested configurations here.

So, to finish this off once and for all... on KDE Neon 6 I am unable to install Battle.net. It doesnt matter the way. I have tried Lutris, but that comes with Wine32 problems. Tried bottles and steam as suggested, neither make it past 45% before failing. All give me the same result...

Have any icon package suggestions? I stuck with one of the provided 3 themes. Whatever the middle one was, the black one. I am not that crazy into downloading themes these days.

It's just an external USBC nvme drive that I have 200gb free on for trying Linux ISOs. If I find one I like I'll probably stick to it, but who knows ;)

I need to try bottles, but I'm going to reinstall KDE first. I haven't installed much so far but I did a TON of changes to try and get wine to install. I'm not going to try and undo all of that, unless there is a way to reset the Distro without reinstalling?

I'll be honest, I tried apt after this entire fiasco and it just worked. So I must be losing it. Weird. Still, is there a reason why I can run apt update but I have to run pkcon update instead of apt upgrade? What could be the purpose of this..

Nah fam, wine-staging doesn't work. Wine-devel doesn't work. Winehq-devel doesn't work. Winehq-staging doesn't work. I'll just have to follow the steps listed by Mazz. Not sure what they changed with libpoppler, but it's causing nothing but issues with wine.

Good god. While it's super annoying that I need to install things 1400 ways, I love that I'm learning so much from this thread. I am pretty annoyed that I've run into a distro that won't allow me to properly install software via the terminal.

Thanks! Had no idea. Wild world out there.

Honestly, didn't know battle net or wow were on steam. I'll give it a go I guess. I keep hearing proton but I don't know what that is, so I guess I have some research to do.

Well, my KDE install was super awesome and looked amazing and I was surprised at how polished it was. Until I tried to install Battle.net through Lutris. I tried as a stand alone, snap and flatpak. When installing it would hang at a screen telling me it was creating some Wine dependencies (or...

I think it's a weird feeling for people to not need to google programs to download and just use their software center.

If anything, that pile of apps in your floating dock is a testament to the amount of apps that work within Linux, many of them familiar windows programs.

You definitely have wayyyyyy more apps than I'll ever use, but mine is similar to yours. Even on windows I might run like 5 programs. Usually World of Warcraft, one of two other games, chrome and MAYBE office, but I have a work PC for any office stuff these days.

its definitely still slower than Linux, but significantly better than the windows 7 and before days. I don't think you're arguing, really. We all have different experiences with OSs.

My only gripe about updates in windows stemmed from the auto restart immediately with no way to stop it on the fly. I haven't had that issue in ages. I just updated my 14 million year old Dell venue tablet to the newest windows 10 update, and while it took the better part of a century and about...

Also, holy fuck it's Leslie.

I have the latest version (or at least I think I do), with some graphical mods without issue. Take that for what you will.

I agree with 99% of what you have said. I disagree with the updates not causing crashes. I have updated numerous times and been at a grub menu afterwards where I have to boot an old kernel, which means I need to know the exact kernel models I previously had installed. Still, not bashing Linux...

Yeah. I figured it was better than the testing one as I just wanted to test plasma 6 at the time.

It used to be many years ago, but it changed to apt. That said, maybe it's apt-get on this distro.

I want to agree with you, but when I run sudo apt anythinghere it comes back with an unknown command. Maybe I don't have apt installed or something. I'm running the newest KDE Neon iso. I'm not too worried about it. Thanks for the help!

Hmm. Interesting. So I can't do apt update/upgrade but I can do apt install? Wild world.

When I ran apt it told me no such command. Ended up using pkcon, as pacman gave me the same error as apt.
