  • Guide: Install Debian with Encrypted Root and Unencrypted Boot.
    1 project | /r/linux4noobs | 13 Jun 2023
    The reasons for wanting /boot to be unencrypted are varied. Maybe you want (much) faster boot time, or maybe you want to use a nice GRUB or Plymouth theme, or you use GRUB in a Multi-Boot scenario where you don't want/need to go through encryption first. Encrypting the /boot partition offers that extra .002% of security by protecting against Evil Maid attacks (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evil_maid_attack), but comes with several tradeoffs which may not justify using it when it doesn't really apply to 99.998% of peoples' threat model. We can debate this here, but I feel like this has been pretty extensively covered online (e.g. https://github.com/calamares/calamares/issues/1311) so feel free to do a search if you want to learn more. This guide is for people who are aware of the potential security risks, but for whom an Evil Maid attack is not something they need to worry about. Is this you? Cool! Read on...

  • Packagecloud customer success story: Nitrux
    1 project | /r/u_packagecloud | 12 Apr 2023
    Nitrux provides an eponymous Linux desktop distribution based on Debian. It uses the Calamares installer and includes the NX Desktop built on the KDE Plasma 5 desktop environment and MauiKit Applications.
  • I've decided I want to create my own distro, but I need a little help relating to the installer.
    2 projects | /r/linuxquestions | 21 Feb 2023
    You can add your own scripts or programs to this environment to make the installation process easier. There are a few third party distro agnostic installers you could include as well such as calamares.
  • can I resell Raspberry Pi's with eOS on them?
    3 projects | /r/elementaryos | 6 Jan 2023
    But making an installer is hard to do from scratch. So you may want to modify an existing one, such as the one that elementaryOS uses, or the general-purpose calamares framework, in which case your installer is bound by the terms of their license to the extent you modified or are redistributing their code.

  • EndeavourOS is good if you are interested in Arch
    1 project | /r/linux | 16 Aug 2022
    They use the Calamares installer which is also used by a bunch of other distros. https://calamares.io/
  • New to Linux & trying to install Debian. Which of these should i choose?
    1 project | /r/debian | 30 Jul 2022
    Yes, it is the Calamares installer. It is more straightforward than the Debian Installer in terms of questions and won't get too much into technical details that may overwhelm a newcomer and/or a non-technical person. The Debian installer is a bit more overwhelming, with the benefit of being a lot more flexible than Calamares.

  • Weird hibernation issues on KDE
    1 project | /r/EndeavourOS | 8 Jul 2022
    I decided to try KDE and reinstalled my system from scratch. I chose encrypted Btrfs volume with Swap to disk and hibernation. Hibernation didn't seem to work at first and I had errors during the boot saying something about 'openswap'. So I started googling and found this issue on github. I fixed 'keyfile_device_mount_options' in '/etc/openswap.conf' as someone suggested there and it seems to help. I don't have any errors on boot and hibernation KINDA works.

  • Penguin, Chicken or Duck? (Eros, OC, Microsoft Bing AI Generated)
    1 project | /r/MildFemboys | 9 Dec 2023
    Arch is a popular Linux distribution(basically an os). Him saying that he uses arch is basically a joke that arch Linux users will always mention that they use the distro. (Also a penguin is also the Linux mascot)
  • Arch Linux bugtracker migration to Gitlab completed
    2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 8 Dec 2023
    Arch sends distribution news every week or so, usually in one or two paragraphs.

    https://archlinux.org/

    I've followed the gitlab migration and every package and distribution change that warranted community notification for more than a decade.

    It's such an empowering feeling to have tracked all the changes to the distribution over a decade. The Arch maintainer culture has managed to provide consistent high quality communication and documentation.

    Most of the news doesn't require action on my part regarding a subsystem or package I don't use. But they use the news channel sparingly and the distribution is minimal and clean. So news arrives only every other week or so and is succinctly written in one or two paragraphs.

    It's a distribution for those who love precision and professionalism.

  • Moving from Mint to Arch
    2 projects | /r/archlinux | 7 Dec 2023
    When searching for something just add Arch Linux to the and follow official archlinux.org and use duckduckgo.com for better results. You will get amazed how good arch wiki explained everything and how aur has very large apps.

  • Thinking of learning Linux for a potential IT career, is it worth it?
    1 project | /r/linuxquestions | 7 Sep 2023
    Since you want to use Linux in your job function, I would suggest you start with Arch Linux OS. https://archlinux.org/ Arch linux and arch based linux's like Manjaro, start you off in teaching you linux by making you install it and do everything from the command line. Nothing gets installed unless you want to install it. They have an extensive Arch Wiki that will walk you through anything you might need to learn.
