The URL (borncity) has nothing to do with the topic (Windows Update), that’s a sign of an SEO content farm

Don’t press X, it’s insecure to SSH attacks. Press Wayland instead.

1. Boot live USB
2. Find the correct partitions using lsblk (you may only need the root partition)
3. Mount them (root goes on /mnt, others go within the root)
4. chroot /mnt (if permission denied, run it with sudo)
5. Search the logs or journals for the error (journald was the first to fail, maybe check its logs first)

If you get errors like “no proc filesystem mounted”, then you also need to mount special filesystems before entering the chroot. Run these commands as root:

mount /proc -t proc /mnt/proc
mount /sys -t sysfs /mnt/sys
mount /dev -t devtmpfs /mnt/dev

If your distro has systemd by default, do not change it. Only hassle lies that way.

If your only alternative is sysvinit/System V, then pick systemd because sysvinit is slower and less advanced.

IIRC, MX Linux uses systemd and sysvinit only.

It’s still around. The latest release (8.0) is free-as-in-beer for non-commercial use. It’s still proprietary though.

Gentoo users be like: Your system is underperformant and unoptimized. Have you tried Gentoo, and compiling all the packages?

Other users be like:
Have you tried Slackware?
Have you tried Damn Small Linux?
Have you tried Linux From Scratch?
Have you tried hand-optimizing a 386BSD system with a Mach kernel? OOPS, that’s too far!

Here’s how to disable the GPU drivers:

Remove “nomodeset” from the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX variable in /etc/default/grub

Add “rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau modprobe.blacklist=nouveau” to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX instead

Run sudo update-grub then reboot

Note: This only works if you’re using the open-source drivers, known as Nouveau. If you’re using the proprietary drivers, this will not work.

To check if you’re using Nouveau or the proprietary drivers, run lspci and check for “NVIDIA”, then run lsmod and check for Nouveau.

Remember to change it back when you want to re-enable the NVIDIA drivers.

(PS: I used this website as a source, their procedure is more complicated.)

They never show the names anyways. They just call it “Files”, “Web”… Generic terms that get tons of unrelated search results. They don’t even call it “GNOME Files”, “GNOME Web”, it’s like they want to be the only program on your computer that does that, like they own the concept.

The program dd (data duplicator/disk destroyer) is named after the DD (data definition) command in IBM’s Job Control Language. The syntax for dd is also based on IBM JCL.

Standard on Debian, hardened on Artix.

I think it’s something with the monitor’s firmware.

• Does the monitor have its own power button? Does it disconnect the power flow completely?
• If it doesn’t, it could be the monitor’s firmware misbehaving, thinking the button was pressed when it wasn’t.
• When you shut down your computer, see if the monitor turns off as well, or if it stays on and says “No Signal”.
• Also, test it with another computer.

Another possibility is with the GPU. Try disabling it temporarily, and booting with only software rendering.

Holy crap, that is a lot of text.

Next time, try crossposting.

On my instance, it is this button:

If you open the spoiler, you’ll see what I’m talking about. Firefox used to have one similar to Chrome, but now it’s whittled down.

Most of the ones out there are weird, anti-configurable systems like mobile phone OS.

The only ones that really seem like “the future” in my eyes are Nix and Guix.

And I’m not going to use those because I already have a good setup with my conventional distro (Debian). Anything less than absolute perfection will not get me to switch.

Nix is imperfect because it uses systemd. Guix is imperfect because it has a smaller selection of packages, and a more difficult configuration system.
