I don’t really use it for the privacy stuff, I only used it because it performs better than Microsoft Edge (which yes, there is a Linux version of Edge).

I have heard of that browser before but I’ve never used it. I might try it out.

FIST_FILLET , in Linux customization is GREAT; Even if it can lead to bad decisions

joking aside, windows 7 is by FAR the greatest looking version of windows. i’m probably biased because it’s the one i used during my formative years, but holy shit man everything from win8 and up just looks like complete soulless corpo garbage. that new shit looks like a free powerpoint template

kyub ,

Win7 was also the last “neutral” version of Windows in terms of integrated spyware (“telemetry”) features (or rather, the lack thereof). Since Win8, this OS truly rolls downhill in many aspects. Since Win10, with greater speed.

FIST_FILLET ,

totally agree!

rustydrd ,

I feel like Windows 7 fills the sweet spot between the seemless UI of the 2000/XP era and newer versions. Windows 10/11 could top that list if Microsoft had bothered to create a proper UI instead of just slapping some material design on a handful of apps, while everything else is still basically 2000/XP. Then again, GTK2/3/4 can be almost as bad.

mojo ,

Vista and XP were pretty baller. Really like the glassy look that Vista had, and it had video wallpapers built in. They were ahead of the game with ricing, and the transparency/glass is just now coming back!

There’s Siduction which is basically Debian Sid (unstable) with a lot of the work done for you.

If you make the switch you won’t be able to tell people you use Arch, so keep that in mind.

true, but you’ll be able to tell people you use nix

Nix is the new Arch

XTornado ,

That’s not the Arch way.

Sivaru ,

I know , just kidding.

I think we can all agree that using nix in no way prevents people from talking about it

I use Nix BTW…

jakoma02 , in [Solved] Data recovery of unique file type(s)

Give testdisk a go, see for example this tutorial. It is a terminal utility, so it might take some time to get used to it. But no one can guarantee that it will successfully recover anything, the deleted files stay on the disk only as long as they are not overwritten.

Do you have any idea why the files disappeared after reboot? One thing that comes to mind is that they might have been saved in /tmp, in that case I believe recovery would not be possible.

Regarding to which files you should recover, try all of them and see if you have any luck.

Good luck with recovering the files!

@s38b35M5@lemmy.world avatar

Do you have any idea why the files disappeared after reboot?

I suspect the files were actually in a timeshift snapshot, so when those files were deleted, so were the files.

I’ll give your links a thorough read, thanks!

jakoma02 ,

From my understanding, files cannot be directly stored only in a timeshift snapshot – they must be first stored on the disk and only then timeshift can make a backup inside the snapshot. But I have never used timeshift myself, maybe I just completely misunderstand how it works.

s38b35M5 OP ,
@s38b35M5@lemmy.world avatar

Deleting the snapshot files lost considerable data including all files created after the aborted snapshot. The reboot that initially uncovered the problem led to a boot in “basic” xfce, and searching for the work files in read only mode from live boot shows no files/folders created in /home/username after the snapshot. It seems to have behaved like a VMware snapshot that had files living in the snapshot.

mvirts ,

I highly recommend testdisk, but definitely shut down the machine and use another disk (USB drive?) To boot and avoid mounting the disk that may have your files at all. mount read only if you have to. Save the recovered files to a different drive as well, which can be the same USB drive you’re using for recovery. If testdisk doesn’t show the files (in my experience, for drives that have significant free space they will almost certainly be there) you could try photorec, the companion app that does signature based file searches.

Hey look it’s my alt account

jaykstah , in I will be returning from a month-long vacation next week. Let’s see if my arch machine will break completely!

I’ve gone like 5 moths without updating a laptop on Arch before and the only thing I had to deal with was updating keyring first

bzxt ,

Same, maybe even longer in my case.

flo ,

That’s usually how it goes…sudo pacman -Sy archlinux-keyring and you’re good. Until you notice that all your python packages are broken because of 3.11 ;)

lmao, OK Oracle…

redcalcium , in Oracle: Keep Linux Open and Free—We Can’t Afford Not To

Finally, to IBM, here’s a big idea for you. You say that you don’t want to pay all those RHEL developers? Here’s how you can save money: just pull from us. Become a downstream distributor of Oracle Linux. We will happily take on the burden.

Oh shit, Oracle and IBM are going to duke it out. Where is my popcorn?

astraeus ,
@astraeus@programming.dev avatar

IBM just doesn’t care, corpos are still going to use RHEL just the same tomorrow as they did yesterday. Oracle is in the position to throw shade simply because they don’t have market share with Oracle Linux to toe-to-toe with RHEL. If they did, they wouldn’t be giving away a free lunch.

Hmm, yeah. We need ostree after all. So unfortunate Fedora is the only group of people working on it.

HL-L2320D brother laser printer, had it for years with no fuss. It doesn’t have wifi but who needs it when you can just plug it into a raspberry pi and share it on the network.
