I am currently using Librewolf.

But Zen & floorp browser looks beautiful.

What do you suggest?

I personally like the looks of Zen.

I would also appreciate any tips to make Zen more secure than it already is.

Edit: consider this too

What Kernel are you guys using?

I have seen some people claiming that custom kernels like zen cachyos offer better battery life and performance.

Is it true ?

What I want:

To boot into a BTRFS snapshots from rEFind boot manager. But rEFInd doesn't show the snapshots.


Additional Info:

  1. So, apparently, to restore the BTRFS snapshot of a root subvolume, I shouldn't do it with the root partition being actively used.
  1. So, I need to boot into the desired snapshot from the boot manager itself.
  1. GRUB has grub-btrfs, which lets you boot into snapshot from OS selection screen itself.
  1. rEFInd has refind-btrfs, which should do the same as grub-btrfs. But it didn't in my case. I am not seeing any way to boot into a snapshot from rEFInd.
  1. I use BTRFS Assistant with snapper to manage snapshots.
  1. I am not seeing any way to restore the snapshot from live environment too.
  1. I am using CachyOS (Arch) with Plasma DE.
  1. I suspect the reason is my unusual /efi /boot partition layout. (attached below)
  1. I did my partition this way because, my initial EFI partition had less storage (as seen on image), so , I created another boot partition and mounted my pre-existing EFI partition to /boot/efi. I did this by referring a Youtube video (I know, I should've known better)
  1. I also encrypted my BTRFS / partition
  1. If you need any other info, please ask.

I know this is a general community, but this is the 7th community that I'm asking this ๐Ÿฅฒ

Some people suggested Limine bootloader, but I like rEFInd for its versatile theme support.

Second Heart should have 300 - 200 seconds ( 5 - 3.3 minutes ) timeout. But for me it is 35 MINUTES, does anybody know why?

One of the images contains cooldown for Self-Ice. That one is actually seconds and work as it intended.

I'm using CachyOS (Arch) with BTRFS. And tried to restore snap of root subvolume and it didn't work ( see previous post ).

If I remember correctly, i successfully restored root subvolume before. Take it with a grain of salt.

Some people on my previos posts said that I shouldn't have tried restore root subvol while system is actively running through the subvol.

Now my question is,

How to restore a snap of root subvolume ?

Edit: I know how to restore a snapshot. Just need help with root subvol snapshot.

I use BTRFS Assistant with snapper. And rEFInd doens't have boot to snapshot option. (I installed and it didn't work )

I am gonna reinstall my system.

But I want to keep the Time played stat of the game.

I found all other data of lutris like banners, runners, runtimes but not this.

Any Idea where can I find Time played data, if it's even saved in file ?

Also does any you know where the KDE Plasma clipboard data is saved ? I've been using that as mini watch later list ๐Ÿ˜…

Context: I updated my CachyOS (Arch) BTRFS system. Some new things caused few problems especially brave browser(missing tabs), some icons missing.

So I wanted to go back to previous snapshot.

What I did: I first restored my home subvol which I saved before update. I worked.

Then I tried to restored my root partition. This is where I got the problem.

I got this error.

I would really appreciate URGENT help

If you need any more details I can provide.

unofficial Windows Live USB images.

I know and Framework is just mouth watering. And Chad76 created their own distro and DE.

it's just sad that they are not selling on my country.

I called the "technical" support regarding this issue. And they said they'll only support Windows.

Making your entire hardware reliant on particular proprietary software like Windows is just stupid.

Never buying Acer again.

At this point, I don't even know which vendor to buy, when everybody is shit.

Does this mean upcoming distros can have the drivers inbuilt? NVIDIA Cards working out of the box? I'm Out of the Loop.

I never understood (still can't) the need for Twitter. I always thought people used that platform to stalk famous people and officials (I have no idea why they started to use that platform).

Since, they are (famous people) mostly not on mastodon, I can't understand why people need Mastodon.

If I need people's opinions on anything Lemmy is there, right?

I'm not degrading Mastodon or anything in any manner, But I'm simply curious.

Linux doesn't care where you mount your drives, they can be mounted anywhere you want.

Thank You
