Nice.

That's what you get when you exit Jow Forums and other trollstorms - actual, helpful answers.

I've never stumbled upon a problem that couldn't be fixed with the Arch wiki

Arch wiki really is goat.

have you tried installing arch with the boot and / partition on the SSD and the other partitions + swap on the HDD? It's hell.

>things that never happened

gparted
>swap on the HDD
fallocate -l 512M /home/faggot/swapfile
>hell
arch is only as hard as you make it

Is partitioning too hard for you? The only difference is that you have to partition two devices instead of one.

askubuntu really is shit which you'd know if you ever posted there
it's like redit on steroids

expected

My success rate for acquiring answers to legitimate reasonable questions on Jow Forums is less than 5%. Not correct answers, just any attempt at a proper answer at all. Just saying.

The arch wiki is a gem alright. I'm not using arch regularly, but when it turns up in my search results I always get a comfy feeling.

Why is Arch Linux community so toxic?

>User writable swap

lmaod desu. Also btrfs and other advanced filesystems and device-mappers don't react well to swap files.

I don't even use Arch and the Arch wiki has been useful to me multiple times

you're doing it wrong. If you want 98% success rate never say you have a problem, assume X is broken garbage and nerds will go out of their way to prove that you're just a retard and X works fine.

chmod n stuff

irrelevant

even if you root the directory like ~/x/y, the user can still mv it and replace it with their own writable path.

the whole root must be owned by root.

you're retarded
chown root /home/faggot/somefile
chmod 600 /home/faggot/somefile
now you can't read it anymore.

how does it feel to be retarded?

you didn't read the file.

>btrfs
why tho

you don't need to. the point is to either DoS or to exploit a TOCTOU bug in whatever shitty program is using its DAC override capability to write to places it
a) doesn't own
b) shouldn't be using

swap does not fucking belong in any path that is not fully owned by root all the way down to /

hell i think swapon would be smart enough to prevent such use, but once it can confirm 0600 as root it probably just does it anyhow since removal from the fs doesn't remove the inode once the file is open.

same reason people use anything more advanced than just a filesystem: features.

did you mean "on estrogen"?

I tried that and got 1 autist yelling about how I am an idiot and shouldn't even be doing what I was trying to do (despite the fact that this autist has literally no idea why I am trying to accomplish it. Not that it matters).

>but once it can confirm 0600 as root

unless linux/libc got some superpowers, this might still be a TOCTOU in it of itself now that I think about it.

Do you not know how fstab works?

>using zsh
Lol numale just configure your PS1 instead of gimping yourself

zsh is technically superior to bash. there is no real reason to "gimp" myself to an inferior shell for personal interactive use. maybe for scripting use you'd have an argument given bash's larger installation base.

Maybe, just maybe you should not be a retard and learn to post your questions in the right subforum?

So normal plebbit?

just

there are zero hard things about that. just use uuids/labels instead of dev names and you'll be fine forever.

urxvt is shit. stop using it and use something that uses VTE.

the second one makes no sense. what xorg modesetting driver doesn't work for you? if it's nvidia nonfree, you deserve it dipshit.

this. just used fedora. the installer is sufficiently advanced for decent customization and it jus werks.

snapshots

makes my system updates reliable

why would you install GTK just for a terminal emulator

because it works very nicely.

>that uses VTE
absolutely disgusting
use st
