the whole OS is booted from an image. if you change anything that would alter its immutable state, you need to rebuild this image. that leaves you with an old image and a new one. by default the OS is going to hold onto both in case your new image can't boot etc.

So that's kinda why I'm asking about btrfs snapshots and whatnot

your home folder is basically just a wart on top of this step

PezOP•7/27/24, 6:41 AM

whether or not it exists is :shrug:

Ashlynn•7/27/24, 6:42 AM

Fair enough, I get that; a lot of DE config files live there though, which is why I'd back it up, personally. That way I can roll back to how it was on gnome if I fuck it up

PezOP•7/27/24, 6:42 AM

yeah you can also try making a new user if your old one fails to login etc.

PezOP•7/27/24, 6:43 AM

but your home folder is only gonna be touched after the OS already booted

Ashlynn•7/27/24, 6:45 AM

nod

PezOP•7/27/24, 6:45 AM

if you're going from gnome>plasma that should probably not be too borked

PezOP•7/27/24, 6:47 AM

i think worst case scenario there is rebase to plasma > potentially can't login > make new user

Aantheas Use the systemd service

Ashlynn•7/27/24, 6:58 AM

hmm.. sched_ext repo says scx.servicescx.service is the one to enable for sched_ext, but that doesn't seem to exist on (my) bazzite.. can't seem to find anything helpful about lavd besides the fact that the only tab autocompletion in terminal i have for scx is scx_lavdscx_lavd

antheas•7/27/24, 6:58 AM

cachyos devs: this service is shipped always you can rely on it

antheas•7/27/24, 6:59 AM

me (avg soystemd resistor): im not sure about that

Ashlynn•7/27/24, 6:59 AM

so i guess bazzite doesn't have a systemd service for it yet?

antheas•7/27/24, 7:01 AM

kyle did the packaging for it

antheas•7/27/24, 7:01 AM

and it took him multiple days

antheas•7/27/24, 7:02 AM

so maybe he ommitted it?

Ashlynn•7/27/24, 7:02 AM

or is it just not there because im on stable?

Aantheas me (avg soystemd resistor): im not sure about that

PezOP•7/27/24, 7:10 AM

reddit to my ears

Ashlynn•7/27/24, 7:10 AM

kinda confused

Ashlynn•7/27/24, 7:11 AM

I just wanted to enable lavd without having to run sudo scx_lavdsudo scx_lavd every time D: I'm kinda lost as to what y'all are talking about at this point

Ashlynn•7/27/24, 7:23 AM

What's the speed limiter of rpm-ostree changes and whatnot? like, what makes adding layers, topgrade, etc take so long? Is it CPU intensive? RW intensive? not sure how the underlying mechanisms work so dont really understand what's going on to make it take longer than something like arch or whatever

Ashlynn•7/27/24, 7:24 AM

i know its loosely based on docker or git repos, but that's about all i understand

Ashlynn•7/27/24, 7:24 AM

not that im trying to speed it up, im just curious is all
