  • Which browser do you use and why?

    Jump

  • All these downvotes really prove your point.

    I think I might switch to that.

    I used Firefox for cross-platform password management. That’s the biggest impact on me.

  • The issue you have is most likely a BIOS artifact. New drive makes bios think you have EFI based system vs old drive was BIOS.

    You are not likely to get accurate help here.

    You don’t need to make drastic moves destroying data, but playing with BIOS settings may help.

    You may need to identify your system capabilities, to troubleshoot effectively. Here is one way to do that:

    https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Installation_guide#Verify_the_boot_mode

    I am not saying to install Arch. Just a way to identify your system.

    One easiest way to get your old disc back is to wipe out formatting data on new disk. Be warned that running wipefs on wrong drive will loose all of your old disk data in less than one second. So, identify your disc with absolute certainty using lsblk, you may need options to lsblk.

  • Every BIOS is a bit different.

    Some have option to boot using Old style partition scheme. Make sure it is on.

    You can always boot any Linux distro you are most familiar with from USB and copy boot partition from old to new disc.

    It is not that hard if you are familiar with command line level partition tools.

    Arch Linux installer is great for that purpose simply because it is the main installation mode.

    You can jump to command line tooling from Fedora installer easily as well.

    That’s all the distro experience I have.

    It is “the way” when you have more complicated disk setups like encryption, raid, mapper, etc.

  • I’ve been disappointed by many and don’t trust commercial space.

    Dig around and you will find no so pleasant information on DDG and Kagi. I suspect same is true for any business backed search.

    I used both and eventually run into negative information, which made me reconsider both. I started with DDG, then Kagi.

    It is SearXNG all the way for me now and there are no regrets so far. Other post on it is the best option.

  • There are more topics to cover than just encryption. Less on encryption, more on other topics.

    Is it p2p or server model? I happen to lookup and it seems to be server as intermediary.

    Is server side open sourced? Who is running servers? How does client choose the server to connect to? if hop server is tracking data, what will it see?

    With all that end address obfuscation, how user friendly is establishing a connection with a friend?

  • I use kvm switch and run into this issue.

    I am currently on Fedora 41, Gnome. I’ve seen this issue when running Arch on the same hardware without kvm switch to the point that I disabled suspend.

    The fix for me is Ctrl-Alt-F1. It simply brings display manager’s login screen. Gnome on Fedora 41 uses gdm.

    The rationale here is simple: the display manager should be resetting screen to display login screen.

  • [rant] everytime i give it a chance, btrfs lets me down

    Jump

  • I switched to XFS.

    The most important feature to me is support for file deduction which is supported by XFS through reflink. BTRFS supports reflinks as well.

    Snapshot in BTRFS seems like the most desirable feature, but in real life I ended up not using it.

    I usually prefer drive mirror setup, but it can give its own headaches.

    These days I simply have 2 disks and nightly rsync job copies content of one drive to another. This protects from drive failure.

    Rclone job sends most important data to offsite backup.

    The biggest loss is missing data checksums, but it is a unique feature of BTRFS that most filesystems manage without.

    I don’t have setup to expand partition beyond one drive. It comes with its own headache. I simply use large enough disks.
