Alright, I have a question. If I learn how to set up those distroboxes and learn how to install thin

Alright, I have a question. If I learn how to set up those distroboxes and learn how to install things into them properly is there a way to move things into those distroboxes that were not previously installed there?

Nope, you'll just have to install it again

KKyle Gospo Nope, you'll just have to install it again

MentallydeactivatedOP•9/23/23, 9:24 PM

Fuck. Ok this gives me an idea for an update.

Automated containers for inexperienced Linux users and container installation forwarders

Kyle Gospo•9/23/23, 9:25 PM

That's been added, oversteer, scrcpy, OpenRazer, solaar, and others install into a fedora container

Kyle Gospo•9/23/23, 9:25 PM

Via one just command

MentallydeactivatedOP•9/23/23, 9:25 PM

Oh?

Kyle Gospo•9/23/23, 9:25 PM

Won't teach you the workflow but it does make those particular ones easy

MentallydeactivatedOP•9/23/23, 9:25 PM

Thank god

MentallydeactivatedOP•9/23/23, 9:26 PM

Ok so how do I check the status to see if I have any containers?

this might be useful for you

MentallydeactivatedOP•9/23/23, 9:30 PM

Thanks. I imagine based on how some things install even though I don't know how to create one myself. I believe I've seen some containers install themselves in the terminal by default. Am I correct? I should have some just through some things I installed even if I didn't make any.

[normand64@Normand64 scrcpy]$ cd .var]$
bash: cd: .var]$: No such file or directory
[normand64@Normand64 scrcpy]$

How do I change back to var?

MentallydeactivatedOP•9/23/23, 9:33 PM

I think I need to create a "note" in obsidian and make a list of these daily essential terminal commands I'll need. I'm going nuts

I will have to come back to this video a lot.

he does great container content too

Jj0rge he does great container content too

MentallydeactivatedOP•9/23/23, 10:55 PM

Yeah, I watched his stuff before. I was only looking for Linux commands to add to my notes.

MentallydeactivatedOP•9/23/23, 11:11 PM

Alright, I guess I'm giving up on scrcpy for a while. Kind of like I did with Bazzite arch. I don't know what to do. It's gonna take time to learn containers.

j0rge•9/23/23, 11:12 PM

take your time, the nice thing is is that you're new so at least you don't have to waste time doing other meaningless tasks, heh

MentallydeactivatedOP•9/23/23, 11:29 PM

It is nice that you can't fuck up Bazzite OS.

j0rge•9/23/23, 11:29 PM

oh don't worry, you can.

j0rge•9/23/23, 11:29 PM

it's just harder than the "usual"

MentallydeactivatedOP•9/23/23, 11:31 PM

facepalm why are you telling me that after you guys said you couldn't fuck up Bazzite OS?

j0rge•9/23/23, 11:32 PM

everything can be destroyed, it's just less likely with bazzite

MMentallydeactivated *facepalm* why are you telling me that after you guys said you couldn't fuck up ...

tryhardsoccermomswag•9/23/23, 11:32 PM

it's really difficult. like you can't just install an application and it breaks

tryhardsoccermomswag•9/23/23, 11:32 PM

you'd have to start like deleting files in /etc

tryhardsoccermomswag•9/23/23, 11:33 PM

and yeah you can mess with your home directory to break anything

tryhardsoccermomswag•9/23/23, 11:34 PM

there's also system rollbacks

j0rge•9/23/23, 11:34 PM

(I don't mean to scare you lol) -- it's just that with most distros you break your system by installing software. Or by trying to do an upgrade.

MentallydeactivatedOP•9/23/23, 11:34 PM

I don't think the general population may not know not to delete certain empty folders just because they're there. But i got that impression from Windows when i saw them named a certain way under subfolders for programs I installed in the past.

HikariKnight•9/23/23, 11:35 PM

i managed to mess up bazzite a few times (kinda) on my laptop but thats more thanks to the uefi on the laptop being weird with linux in general

bazzite was the first ever linux i had to enable secure boot for to even have it boot (it booted fine until i signed the image)

had to literally enable secure boot --> install bazzite --> sign image --> import keys --> everything works

without secure boot on my laptop would just boot into a black screen after signing the system

MentallydeactivatedOP•9/23/23, 11:37 PM

By the way. If you think about it. This information should scare people. I need the awareness of these potential risks so I don't do anything stupid to my computer. If I'm not scared, I'll risk breaking my computer.

j0rge•9/23/23, 11:38 PM

yeah unfortunately this is considered "normal" with most distros

j0rge•9/23/23, 11:38 PM

like, if it breaks, it's your fault.

j0rge•9/23/23, 11:38 PM

that's silly

HikariKnight•9/23/23, 11:41 PM

its like saying "you ran windows update, why would you update your OS? its your fault it broke from a broken update"

j0rge•9/23/23, 11:41 PM

like, if you're going to break your PC at least do something epic, breaking it because of some crappy third party package or doing a dist-upgrade is weak sauce

Jj0rge installing software and doing upgrades shouldn't break your PC

i accidentally used DD to clone 1 disk over my running system disk, was kinda spectacular that i got away without any data loss (thank you backups) and watch GNOME slowly die i went like "huh this dd is taking longer than usual" followed by immediate black screen with the blinking prompt

whoops

j0rge•9/23/23, 11:44 PM

yeah when the prompt doesn't return right away ... "uh oh"

MentallydeactivatedOP•9/23/23, 11:44 PM

Because last time I was on Windows I had this fucking annoying ddl error for video content that wouldn't go away. it was effecting all of my MakeMV burned videos. I would try to play one then Windows would say it can't fine. I check the folder they are clearly there.

Alright, I have a question. If I learn how to set up those distroboxes and learn how to install thin
