In the few cases, where I have wanted to use a custom/modified PKGBUILD, it has always been for simple programs without dependencies (or where there has not been any need to propagate special options to the dependencies). Doing something like that on Arch would likely be a nightmare, although I think you can use /etc/nf to set global options that are passed to configure. As I recall it, getting that to work with KDE required patching and compiling all of kdelibs, kwin, and probably a host of other things, with special options passed to configure in each case. the desktop cube in Compiz) were all the rage. I remember, back when I used Gentoo, that a new type of desktop effects (e.g. Putting them in your package definition means you have to make sure it survives updates (by default, your changes get overwritten). Gentoo manages use flags globally and separately from package definitions. You're probably thinking changing compile flags in Pkgbuilds. You can try doing it with Pkgbuilds, but it's entirely manual, which is what I mean by "no slotting"Īdmittedly on ease of patching I haven't looked into it in a while, but from what I remember it was also very manual unlike gentoo, where you just drop your patch file in the right directory and you never have to worry about it again until the patch starts failing to due to underlying code change.Īrch has no support for use flags at all. Arch does not provide any stable packages, and discourages you doing so yourself (see above link) Mixing and matching bleeding edge and stable is not. The rest of what you mention can be easily done on Arch. It's different from kde which is a massive code base and will of course have many bugs. I put complex in there because im very certain that Linux core utils are very stable, and won't have serious bugs, because they dont get many new features anymore, have a small codebase, and are battle tested over the years. This idea that old (complex) software has less bugs is simply not true. It should be "do you want old bugs or new bugs" when you pick a Linux distribution. They are just having older bugs instead of newer ones. I have not personally seen any advantage to using old software. I was using 5.27.0 and found a few bugs there, reported them and they were fixed in 5.27.1 and 5.27.2.ĭuring this time, I saw Debian users complaining about bugs in 5.26 that was fully fixed in the 5.27 release, and while there was minor regressions in 5.27 that was fixed in point releases, Debian users were on a kde version that was 6 month old and suffering from issues that were fixed already. There are regressions but they are fixed quickly as well.Īs an example, KDE 5.27. This would’ve never ever ever happened on Arch. As far as I can tell there is only one way, and that failed for me. I’ve got an Ubuntu 19.10 on my Pi sitting as network storage in the closet. One thing that also annoys me about that release schedule is that, somehow, half the PPA’s break and more often than not the system can’t be updated. If you great of a system vulnerability, update that package and leave the rest as is. If you feel you don’t want the system to change all the time, just don’t run pacman. Newer versions of software have less bugs and are therefore likely to be more stable. They say they do it for stability, but quite frankly I don’t understand that logic very well. It’s a good distribution with good additions, but fundamentally it’s based on Ubuntu, and being based in Ubuntu means thousands of outdated packages. I installed ventoy on a pen drive and threw the iso into the folder.ĭid a couple of google searches and it seems that the problem is the nvidia drivers (i have a nvidia gtx 1050 ti), some people seems to be able to fix it with just the kernel 5.12 but doesn’t that iso already have it? again im a noob haha, other people fixed it by alt+F2(tty i think it’s called) and some commands but idk why but i cannot log in, i can type the username but when i need to type the password i cannot type it cause seems like the thing does not register any typing i’m doing.ĬPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU E2140 1.I’m the same. Whenever i try to boot it with either free drivers or proprietary drivers i always get stuck on “ reached target graphical interface” and it wont continue. I’m new to linux and i been trying to install manjaro kde plasma (manjaro-kde-21.1.6-211017-linux513) to get started for a while but i cannot seem to be able to. Hello, im not very good at english so bare with me please.
