Only the Tip (ghostty)

PSA - Only the tip version of ghostty requires zig 0.14 to compile, everything else requires the older zig version 0.13. This can be slightly confusing with the new documentation saying simply that zig version 0.14 is required (yes, but only for the tip).

When in doubt use the full path to the desired zig binary when compiling (or simply download the compiled ghostty binary instead).

My little cheat sheet, csv style:

"ghostty version", "zig version required"
"v1.1.0", "v0.13"
"v1.1.2", "v0.13"
"v1.1.3", "v0.13"
"tip", "v0.14"

>Note: I feel like ghostty version 1.1.4 must be coming soon and that will probably require zig 0.14 to compile, similar to current tip.

In unrelated news (since it happens to be in the screenshot), PowerShell version 7.5.1 is available now! Totally unrelated to ghostty but it looks like they do have support for PowerShell on the roadmap.


//Edit: fixed version numbers that I butchered.

Is Kernotex a good LFS resource?

This playlist by Kernotex, is it good for learning LFS https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyc5xVO2uDsB9d49xOfLDObv9O0a0G6kH ?


Yes, I will also have the book itself by my side and read it but having someone to do the steps with you makes it less intimidating.

Do you restrict your SSH with PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms?

As per the noscript, I wonder if it's common practice to change the defaults (see below) and if you do, what do you typically end up with?

From man 5 sshd_config:

PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms
Specifies the signature algorithms that will be accepted
for public key authentication as a list of comma-separated
patterns. Alternately if the specified list begins with a
‘+’ character, then the specified algorithms will be
appended to the default set instead of replacing them. If
the specified list begins with a ‘-’ character, then the
specified algorithms (including wildcards) will be removed
from the default set instead of replacing them. If the
specified list begins with a ‘^’ character, then the
specified algorithms will be placed at the head of the
default set. The default for this option is:

ssh-ed25519-cert-v01@openssh.com,
ecdsa-sha2-nistp256-cert-v01@openssh.com,
ecdsa-sha2-nistp384-cert-v01@openssh.com,
ecdsa-sha2-nistp521-cert-v01@openssh.com,
sk-ssh-ed25519-cert-v01@openssh.com,
sk-ecdsa-sha2-nistp256-cert-v01@openssh.com,
rsa-sha2-512-cert-v01@openssh.com,
rsa-sha2-256-cert-v01@openssh.com,
ssh-ed25519,
ecdsa-sha2-nistp256,ecdsa-sha2-nistp384,ecdsa-sha2-nistp521,
sk-ssh-ed25519@openssh.com,
sk-ecdsa-sha2-nistp256@openssh.com,
rsa-sha2-512,rsa-sha2-256

The list of available signature algorithms may also be
obtained using "ssh -Q PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms".

Linux Troubleshooting - a compendium of information on issues and how to fix them

Hello everyone!

I'm working on a new project, in the shape of a Github repo to make, over time, a massive database on issues people have on Linux and how to fix them (when they're not just some random bug) or sharing workarounds. Feel free to use the knowledge I'm already putting in there and add some yourselves following instructions on the readme - the more people using it, the more effective it will become at solving people's pains with Linux.

How is everyone liking linux mint (cinnamon)?

Just got a new computer and am of course blessing it with anything that isn't windows 11. I have chosen linux mint to do the job and there is something so satisfying about using the preinstalled windows to do it. Either way, windows gets more deranged by the release and linux mint cinnamon eddition is keeping me sane as my once nice operating system declines rapidly. Anybody else have a favorite distro that serves this same role in keeping you sane? I know this is hardly relevant to what this sub reddit is about but man am I happy to have an OS that is everything windows could never be. Thought I'd share and see what yall have to say.

Summoning Bethesda modding fans and gamers. Would I lose anything from switching to Linux?

Hi, I mainly use my pc for gaming, I own a steam deck which updated my rusty knowledge and beliefs about linux and since my pc became laggy, I wanted to switch. Would I be able to play my beloved modlists? Would I still be able to run one of those less known windows-only softwares or games? what about other games stores like epic games, gog etc? is streaming on twitch good? I have NVIDIA gpu, would I lose some tiny feature if I switch? I know most of these questions sounds dumb. They are but, have you ever had an easy math test that was so important that you would use a calculator even for easy basic operations, just to make sure? that's me right now.

Need to know something things about editing videos and photos

1. How smooth is Davinci Resolve ( especially on Ubuntu )? Are there any cons? If yes how do you guys get around some of it

2. What software do you use to edit photos? I will use krita to make game assets after switching to ubuntu

In case any user is wondering why am I switching to Ubuntu:-

Unity3D works well on Ubuntu based distros

Why do you prefer linux?

I have only ever used Windows and MacOS. I am a regular person but I wonder why do so many engineers prefer linux. What makes it different?

How do you install it? Do you install it on Windows machines? Explain to me like I am 5.

So, is Ventoy confirmed safe? Alternatives?

Afaik, the blobs haven't been reverse engineered yet. I heard YUMI uses a lot of stuff from Ventoy, so is it not safe? What about E2B?

Filler because automod: Ventoy is just such a great tool. Not having to have multipe USB sticks for different OS's is so freeing and updating is so incredibly simple. I dont know what im gonna do if I can't find an alternative :(

discussing your experiences with linux

basically for the past month, i’ve been experiencing terrible just terrible stability issues with windows, even stripped out windows, and now im thinking about switching, i have fun optimizing stuff in windows but it’s always no use since it’s just dogshit.

can you please tell me your experience with overall stability with linux?

what should i expect when it comes to process, and like if i do some customization stuff like for example set the texts to green will that increase cpu usage like windows does when you do any sort of customization?

thank you in advance, you will help me so much but telling me your experience.
