Ubuntu was my first distro because ubuntu was linux for outsiders many years ago. Any other distro was only for hardcore people. I don't regret hopping around the linux world.

Did Fedora 40 break something for you? in c/[email protected]

No, it's image based.

You can always use the testing image if you want

All good on my device but I use fedora atomic. If it wasn't good, I could just roll back.

My opinion:

openscale is best for tracking weight (disable all other metrics)

Research paper tests how many Arch Linux packages are reproducible in c/[email protected]

89%

Edit: this is usually where you want to look at that question https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/archlinux/archlinux.html

Why is it not stated which research paper? By whom? It's just a reproduction of what they do which is good but the guy reporting about it acts like it's breaking news.

That info is better than "install as few extensions as possible".

How do you say SUSE? (m.youtube.com)

I always thought those whoe said susa instead of soos are wrong.

Suse stands for "Software und System-Entwicklung" https://linuxiac.com/opensuse/

Edit: Yes, she can still be wrong but then it's supported by the rest of susa's staff https://youtu.be/RsME20zXbQI&t=13

How to uninstall an app in atomic fedora of unknown installation method? (lemmy.ml)

Description

I use GNOME on Fedora atomic. There is an icon in overview of an installed app, nvtop. How can I figure out how I installed the app and how can I uninstall it?

The first step is to click "App details" in the overview section. GNOME software then tells me there are no details for the app. Searching for nvtop in Software doesn't yield any result. GNOME Software is of no use here. I can confirm that it is not a flatpak with the name nvtop by running flatpak list | grep -i "nvtop".
Lookup which command is invoked by nvtop

$ which nvtop
/usr/bin/nvtop

lookup the desktop entry

$ sudo find /usr -iname "*nvtop*.desktop"
/usr/share/applications/nvtop.desktop

which gets

[Desktop Entry]
Name=nvtop
GenericName=GPU Process Monitor
Type=Application
Terminal=true
Exec=nvtop
Icon=nvtop
Categories=System;Monitor;
X-AppImage-Integrate=false

How many distroboxes are running? distrobox ls. The one distrobox that is running can't find a package with the name nvtop either dnf list installed | grep nvtop. And trying to run it from within distrobox can't find it as well. bash: nvtop: command not found

rpm-ostree can't find anything

$ rpm-ostree uninstall nvtop
error: Package/capability 'nvtop' is not currently requested

edit:

I can also locate nvtop but that's of no help to me

/usr/bin/nvtop
/usr/share/applications/nvtop.desktop
/usr/share/doc/nvtop
/usr/share/doc/nvtop/README.markdown
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/nvtop.svg
/usr/share/licenses/nvtop
/usr/share/licenses/nvtop/COPYING
/usr/share/man/man1/nvtop.1.gz
/usr/share/metainfo/io.github.syllo.nvtop.metainfo.xml

locate *.appimage does not return an unknown appimage

edit2:

I just tried installing it via rpm-ostree. I'm getting closer, but still no idea what to do with the result. Rebooting is always a good idea. Rebooting didn't help.

$ rpm-ostree install nvtop error: "nvtop" is already provided by: nvtop-3.0.2-2.fc39.x86_64. Use --allow-inactive to explicitly require it.
