A really common issue with sway is that it doesn’t run as a login shell, so none of your .profile or other environment settings get sourced when you login. I think that might be the problem here.

Try closing your sway session, then login to a tty and run sway. If the qt themes work properly then it’s definitely an environment issue.

Fellow Arch user here (btw). It’s exactly the same as building AUR packages. Clone a git repo containing a PKGBUILD, use makepkg to build it, and pacman to install it. The nice thing is you can host a repo of your built packages and install them on other systems really easily. The big downside is that dependency management is not automated, so it will take some time and annoyance to map out what packages you need to build and in what order, if you want a fully source-bootstrapped system.

Honestly, huge shout out to the wave of enshittification crashing through Google and reddit and forcing me off their platforms. Decade-long debilitating addiction solved.

I second the wayland option. Then you at least have a working gui with all your settings and recent work intact while you try to find the glitch in your Xorg install.

I tend to think about it as density. Smaller chunks can be more tightly packed together, and are therfore more dense. As long as there is a way for the stuff to flow (i.e. shaking the bag), gravity will pull denser stuff to the bottom.

There’s openSUSE tumbleweed. It’s rpm based like fedora and it’s rolling-release like arch. I don’t know what the 3rd party/nonfree software situation is like. Maybe someone else can chime in on that front.

I will add, as an arch user, I think you could easily tweak your current system to be less annoying with the updates, but I realize that’s not the question you’re asking so feel free to disregard that.

We probably could, but I think it would be a lot of effort for a relatively small gain. If you’re concerned about saturated fat intake, the most effective thing to do would be to cut back on meat and dairy products, since those are much more potent sources.

I’m no dietician, but I can’t imagine cooking oil makes up a significant portion of saturated fat intake for most people, when you consider the popularity of dairy in all its forms in western cuisine.

I mean, technically Linux is still at 2.6, they’ve just been making up version numbers for the last 20 years or so.

Since we’re on the topic, does anyone know if there’s a Fargo community in existence somewhere on Lemmy?

Call me traditional, but I find regular AUR to be chaotic enough.

I never really thought about it before, but it seems obvious now. Trekkies and open source tech folks would have a massive overlap, and Lemmy kind of exists perfectly within that intersection of utilitarian principles. So of course we would all find each other here.

You wasted 3 hours of your life so far lol

But yeah. I find the most mysterious and time-consuming of problems are usually caused by a very minor detail that is so obvious it gets overlooked immediately.

And even if you know that’s probably the case, sometimes your brain will just discard information that isn’t consistent with its assumed reality, and it tells you the piece of code you just read is fine when it’s obviously not.

Troubleshooting/debugging is fun.

When your diffusion is too stable and it leaks out into physical reality…but is also a good boy

And the data harvesting app is nothing more than a stripped-down browser with the company’s color scheme slapped on it.

This happened to me a few weeks ago and the pain is still fresh. Please tell us your data is safely backed up, OP.

I’m trying to figure out what demographic would be downvoting this to hell. Arch users getting triggered by a clickbait title? Arch haters trying to cope with a somewhat charitable take on arch users? Or are we all just downvoting for the meme?

The only difference between those two versions of linux is that the new one was built with a newer version of gcc. That doesn’t really narrow the problem down, though. As far as I’m aware, emergency mode is caused by either a kernel panic or a failure to mount a needed filesystem. I’m leaning towards a corrupted kernel, since it doesn’t sound like you changed your fstab or had any problem mounting /. I would run fsck -f on your boot partition, then try to re-download and reinstall the new package.

If that doesn’t work, then you can add IgnorePkg = linux linux-headers to pacman.conf so you can update without installing the broken package, until you resolve the underlying issue. Or your can install a different kernel altogether.

As for preventing problems in the future, there’s only so much you can do. Check archlinux.org before updating to see if anything requires manual intervention, and pay close attention while running pacman in case something goes wrong. You already seem to know the most important part, which is to keep a set of packages that are certain to work, so you can easily downgrade if a crash does happen.
