I have arch installed as bios, is it possible i change it to UEFI?

Shit no

im install nvidia and nvidia-utils
But update no😑

add
3
to your kernel cmdline, and update

pacman -Sy doesn’t run an update, it puts the system into a partial update state.

Assuming you installed nvidia that means you’re using the linux kernel?

If you have a new Intel CPU you’ll also need the ibt=off kernel parameter.

10100f intel

From, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA

“nvidia may not boot on Linux 5.18 on systems with Intel CPUs due to FS#74886/FS#74891. Until this is fixed, a workaround is disabling the Indirect Branch Tracking CPU security feature by setting the ibt=off kernel parameter from the bootloader. This security feature is responsible for mitigating a class of exploit techniques, but is deemed safe as a temporary stopgap solution.”

Always worth reading the wiki page.

Wifi speed is very slow

Could be due to any number of factors

Bro what i can do now?

About wifi? Not sure why you’re replying to that message.

If it’s about the kernel parameter, then add it. Use a chroot if you can’t get to a TTY.

Just
ibt=off?

That’s the parameter that needs to be set, yes. The boot line will have more than just that on it though.

I’m trying to use an apple magic trackpad but it does not really work: moving the cursor only works when I press the trackpad, not when I just move my finger over it (and it registers as a click and selects everything, so not really useable). It works fine on a mac

Convert drive to gpt, shrink partition and create esp, install kernel, ucode, bootloader and configure bootloader

it’s a 2018 model A1535. I’d assume that the issue is below xorg as when I try with xev I don’t get any input event when touching (lightly, without pressing) the trackpad

using synaptics, maybe I should try libinput but idk how to switch

because people like me don’t want to use windows in it’s current avatar as a kid i have started on msdos and win 3.1 then win 95,98 me, win 2000, xp, 7,8, 8.1 also. with win 10 i switched to ltsc as i don’t like the default bloated win10 till last year after

after monitoring the win 11 and seeing it on new laptops I came to conclusion that it’s no more tolerable for with win 10 ltsc going to end in 2025 i have started switching to linux since last year now i have fully shifted to arch

Because Linux is customisable
No workarounds for gaining user rights
No licensing
No hardware requirements if a new version comes

Hello friends, why is my Windows drive not displayed in Linux?!!

Help pls 🙏

Guys
Woke to my Arch and NetworkManager won’t connect to any network even providing the passphrase (wasn’t enabled on the boot) I am still able to connect over iwctl

If it is Windows drive, it must is of NTFS type.
Install ntfs-3g package in Linux.

What’s it required for nowadays if you use the kernel driver?

Now kernel includes driver for ntfs?

NTFS3, for a while, yes

Yup, but there are steps in between which require setting up a domain name {example.com} and VPN connection in order to access it from all over the internet . . .

Not if you access it by IP address?

I see,
I have to workaround it with another steps in between . . .

But yes, setting up a VPN connection to the router would mean it’s more secure, assuming you have some way of setting up a VPN connection to the router.

It doesn’t work . . .

One guy from the Fedora group knows the procedure . . .

Doesn’t work how?
