One of the most damning videos I've seen about this. Just reply with this when you come across someone trying to defend this PoS. Fuck this sub-human scumbag.

I'M NOT STUPID ANYMOOOOOREE!!!!!!!!!!!

Good ol' Albinoblacksheep!

Hey guys. I've been running Bazzite as my main OS for about 8ish months now and have been dabbling with CachyOS on a second SSD (physically separate installations) and have been loving it. One of the main things holding me back from moving over to CachyOS full time has been exporting and then importing my Plex media server distrobox install since I really don't want to lose all my watch history etc for a 3rd time (once due to reinstalling Windows and then again when moving to Bazzite)

I've figured out how to both export and import my distrobox data using podman (thanks to very helpful Lemmings I might add) and have successfully got my data imported (I think?) using podman and then reinstalling that into a Debian distrobox just like I did on Bazzite. When I try to boot into a Debian distrobox terminal on CachyOS I'm greeted by the following error at the top of the terminal before doing anything -

source: Error encountered while sourcing file '/usr/share/cachyos-fish-config/cachyos-config.fish':

source: No such file or directory

When I try to type the command to start Plex media server the same way I did on Bazzite (sudo systemctl start plexmediaserver) I get the following error -

sudo: systemctl: command not found

I've done some searching and it seems it may be due to CachyOS defaulting to fish over bash. Is that correct? If so then all I should have to do is the following command, right?

chsh -s /usr/bin/bash

I just wanted to ask more experienced users before I start making changes to something like that. I may have been using Bazzite for quite a while now but I still consider myself to be a noob to Linux and I'd prefer to verify I'm on the right path before blindly following instructions that I find while searching.

These are the instructions I followed to export and then import my previous distrobox data (shown to me by a helpful Lemming in a previous post!) - https://github.com/89luca89/distrobox/blob/18053c254a83750c49c08e58df2e48a0f04aef48/docs/useful_tips.md#container-save-and-restore

This is where I found how to switch to bash - https://wiki-dev.cachyos.org/configuration/shell/

Alternatively, is there a way to get distrobox to work properly with fish? I mentioned the error above, but I'll copy and paste it again for easy reference -

source: Error encountered while sourcing file '/usr/share/cachyos-fish-config/cachyos-config.fish':

source: No such file or directory

That's what I get whenever I try to enter into my Debian distrobox.

I'm more than open to fixing this in fish instead of switching back to bash, as in my short time playing around in CachyOS I find I do quite like the auto complete and history that fish provides over bash, and it seems I'll need to be using the terminal much more in an Arch based distro which is 100% fine with me. I honestly get a certain satisfaction from using and learning the terminal as I've always considered myself to be a computer nerd, but my adventures into Linux have certainly humbled me.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

Edit: also wanted to add that I've already installed Plex media server natively to CachyOS but it logs me in as a new user despite signing in with the same info I always do, just like it did when I reinstalled Windows and then switched to Bazzite. That's why I'm going through the trouble to try and export and import my previous distrobox data from my Bazzite installation. I've asked before but I can't figure out how to export and import my plex data but maybe I'm just an idiot :)

Hey everyone, I've just recently started dual booting Bazzite, which I've been using as my main OS for about 6-7 months now, and CachyOS, which I just installed a week ago. I'm really liking CachyOS, but I currently run Plex media server in a Debian distrobox container on my main Bazzite installation and I'd like to be able to have access to the same watch history etc on both Bazzite and Cachy.

Can I just install distrobox in CachyOS and point it to the proper data directory that already exists in Bazzite? If so, where are the distrobox files located? I've already done some searching and couldn't figure out the answer by myself so that's why I'm asking here.

If that's not an option, is there a way for me to migrate my Plex data to a docker and access Plex media server that way through both distros? I really don't want to reset all my watch history again, as I share this with both my brother and mom and I've already reset the watch history twice by once reinstalling Windows and then again when I switched to Linux.

I also don't know how to use docker, so any information about getting a Plex media server set up properly in docker would be appreciated. I've been using Linux for a decent amount of time now and have learned a lot, but I definitely still consider myself to be a noob to Linux. But I'm 110% open to learning, I just need to be pointed in the right direction or given some good advice on how best to proceed to meet my needs.

I know that ideally, I would be using a separate PC to run Plex media server, but I don't have the money to buy a secondary PC to serve exclusive server duty, so I run it off my main PC.

Thank you in advance to anyone that can help, all replies are much appreciated!

Hello everyone, I've been running Bazzite as my primary OS for about 7 months now and love it. I used to have my primary 2TB SSD running Windows 11, my secondary 2TB SSD running Bazzite (main boot for 7 months) and then I recently bought a 1TB SSD so that I can keep a small Windows install for the few things I need Windows for.

I finally bit the bullet and backed up all my important Windows files and wiped my primary 2TB SSD and installed CachyOS on it, and now I can't install Windows 11 on my 1TB SSD. Bazzite uses GRUB as the default boot launcher, and I can boot into either Bazzite or CachyOS just fine, but no matter what I do I can't install Windows onto my new 1TB SSD.

I've tried multiple options to wipe the 1TB SSD, including using KDE partition manager to wipe everything off of the 1TB SSD, booting into the Windows live installation off of a USB and using the command prompt (diskpart) to wipe the 1TB SSD and format it into NTFS, and deleting the partitions manually in the Windows 11 installer, but no matter what I do, the Windows 11 installer always pops up at the end with a "failed to install Windows 11".

I have 3 seperate SSDs, two seperate 2TB SSDs, and a 1TB SSD. My main boot is one of my 2TB SSDs that's running Bazzite, what used to be my Windows 11 installation has been recently deleted and overwritten with CachyOS, and I'm trying to install Windows 11 onto my 1TB SSD. No matter how I format the 1TB, the Windows 11 install fails when I try to install it onto my 1TB SSD. My 1TB SSD is wiped clean yet Windows always fails to install on it.

I can see both Bazzite and CachyOS in GRUB but Windows 11 always fails to install. What do I need to do to be able to install Windows 11 on my 1TB SSD? I still need Windows for certain things and I'm getting frustrated with not being able to install Windows onto this SSD no matter what I do. I've tried searching and have come up empty handed, although that may be a skill issue.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hey everyone, I have 3 seperate SSD's, two 2TB SSD's and a single 1TB SSD that has Windows 11 on it. I'm running Bazzite OS on one of my 2TB SSD's, and I used to have Windows 11 on my primary 2TB SSD but I just wiped it to install CachyOS on it so that I can have 4TB of total SSD storage for games on Linux. My current set up is the 1TB SSD has Windows 11, and the two other seperate 2TB SSD's have Bazzite and CachyOS on their own drives.

My primary OS at the moment is Bazzite, and has been for about 6 months now, but I finally stopped being lazy and copied over everything from my old 2TB Windows install to the new 1TB Windows install and then installed CachyOS on the now free'd up 2TB SSD. But after installing CachyOS on what used to be my primary Windows drive, I no longer have access to booting into Windows. I keep a Windows partition for things that don't work on Linux.

When I go into my motherboards boot options, I'm presented with 3 options. 1. Bazzite (default boot option for me) 2. CachyOS 3. UEFIOS which only lets me boot into CachyOS. My Windows files are still safe and accessible on the 1TB SSD so I know everything is still there, I just don't have a way to boot into it anymore. GRUB gives me the same boot options as the motherboard does, so I'm locked out of my Windows install for now.

How do I regain access to my Windows install? Again, everything is still there, I can access my 1TB SSD through either of my Linux installations and see all the files there I just can't find a way to boot into it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Hey everyone, I'm looking for some good in-depth space podcasts. I got into Startalk with Neil DeGrasse Tyson a few months ago and have listened to a ton of the episodes, but I've been trying to branch out and find more information heavy podcasts and ended up checking out the Cool Worlds podcast which is much more informative than Startalk IMO, while I still like that it definitely feels like they lean more into entertainment rather than informational content.

I'd like to find some more in-depth discussions about Astronomy and Astrophysics, I'm a huge space nerd so I prefer it to be more in-depth even if some of it will potentially go above my head. I've been reading Astronomy stack exchange questions for months now as my bedtime reading, and even though a ton of the answers go into complicated math/physics that I can't understand, I still love it, so I'd like to find the same thing in podcast format if possible.

Any recommendations for some good podcasts about space?

Bonus question, what are some good space audiobooks? Not sci-fi, I already have a big list of things I want to listen to/read but actual informative books based on Astronomy/Astrophysics. I've already gone through Welcome to the Universe by Michael Strauss but it's not the greatest as a strict audiobook since it frequently references diagrams in the accompanying PDF. I have a job that allows me to listen to whatever I want all day, but I can't be stopping what I'm doing to look at something, merely listen.

Thanks!

Edit: Already getting some great answers, thank you all for the suggestions! It's much appreciated.

Edit 2: You guys are awesome, thanks for all the recommendations!

I love space, I have since I was a kid but I'm not a professional by any means. All my knowledge comes from years of watching documentaries, reading space/science magazines, and looking things up on wikipedia/stack exchange etc.

Red Dwarfs are thought to be the most common types of stars in the universe, but despite that they're generally thought to be a poor choice for life to evolve. From what I've read, this is because planets orbiting in the habitable zone are close enough to be most likely tidally locked, and on top of that, it's thought that Red Dwarf stars have powerful and frequent flares.

Red Dwarfs are thought to have even more powerful flares than our own Sun, despite being significantly less massive than our parent star. Why is this? What causes a star with a potential mass as low as 0.08 solar masses to have such powerful and frequent flares? Why do more massive stars not have comparatively more massive flares?

I've also read that TOI-700 is thought to be a fairly stable Red Dwarf, as in it doesn't seem to flare up the way a lot of other Red Dwarfs are thought to do. What are the possible causes for this discrepancy in flare activity among Red Dwarf stars? Why is it thought that Red Dwarfs are generally quite grumpy and emit a lot of powerful flares?

Been daily driving Bazzite for almost half a year now. I currently have two seperate 2TB SSD’s, one with Windows 11 and the other has Bazzite. Bought a 1TB SSD so I can migrate my Windows install to a smaller SSD since I much prefer Linux now.

Just need to stop being lazy and finish migrating everything I care about off my old Windows install onto my new 1TB Windows install, then I plan to install CachyOS onto the soon to be free’d up 2TB SSD, since I’m curious about Arch Linux. I’ll always have Bazzite to fall back on if need be, or god forbid, Windows.
