    sorry for answering 4 days later. Idk, it says sddm supports rootless xorg, also gdm supports it by defualt sometimes ig? (lightsm doesn’t support rootless xorg)

    It says that when I try to start it from the console with the file that sets the thing to x11-user otherwise o don’t remember what it says probably just that I need root to run it.

I can't get rootless xorg to work

Nvidia, voidlinux, sddm.

It doesn’t get past plymouth (I can still get to the console with ctrl alt functionthing ofc)

I’ve tried setting the nvidia-drm.modeset=1 (i did xbps-reconfigure -fa after that) in console thing in /etc/default/grub. I’ve enabled elogind as a service. I obviously did

/etc/sddm.conf.d/rootless-x11.conf
[General]
DisplayServer=x11-user

sddm doesn’t work after that until i change x11-user for x11. I also did

/etc/X11/Xwrapper.config
needs_root_roghts = no
allowed_users=anybody

But that one doesn’t really seem to change much. I also removed the execs from some part of the xinit ig.

      Ye, you can only install 3 apps without exploits tho (I used to use lara until i broke my phone doing something very dumb and had to update it(the hardware broke not the software) it does only work for like a bit of 17 to a bit of 26 or something, before that you can probably jailbreak anyway) but you can use livestore and livecontainer as 1 app, livecontainer lets you install multiple apps in 1 container, basically bypassing the limit, problem is they’re on the same sandbox so be careful with personal info and that. It also doesn’t work for all apps.

      You can also make shortcuts to apps inside livecontainer(s). Also you do need a pc or laptop for the initial setup but it’s actually mostly incredibly easy unless you’re the kind of people who don’t know to install a .exe file (I’ve seen people do that(i don’t even main windows))

      Also idk if apple is trying to break this stuff but I’ve heard some stuff breaks sometimes, I didn’t experience it cuz I didn’t actually update my devices but yeah.

      You normally can’t use JIT but you can activate it but it does use the vpn slot and you need to sideload something like stickdebug I think, idk if that’s what people are still using nowindays, it also takes the vpn slot to install apps. you need a specific vpn app that’s on the app store.

      Idk if this was very useful, specially after 13h but yea.

      Oh, I tried it and it does encrypt it. you use this extension and it uses a keychain on that extension. The text is encrypted and the extension kinda draws on top of the mail you were reading making a little window with the unencrypted text after you input your password. I think it’s glitched for me rn tho since it doesn’t encrypt it when I mail myself but it might be spmething silly, I’ve not really tried that hard to fix it. Well either that or it works it mysterious ways.

    full screen on minecraft doesn't work before 1.13

    reddthat.com English
    just the image of the minecraft in the broken full screen.

    minecraft turns like 1.2x the size it should be, that estimation was probs really wrong but anyway. It happens in vanilla yes. yes it happens until 1.12.2 I think vanilla too and it gets fixed in 1.13 that is that one aquatic update. I remember something about a rewrite of the code or of something there but I don’t actually remember any specifics??

    I should probs reduce the root partition size someday actually.

    I also had that one problem where you switch to the 2th and 6th slots in the hotbar while shifting but that has a mod apparently.

      How to install from cds without the key?

      English

      I found some old cds and dvds. Some are software or games and it asks me for a product key or whatever that was in the back of the original box (I do not have the original box) Idk if this is the right community but is there any way to skip it or crack it or something?

      I mean the stuff is probably archived somewhere online and possibly already ready to just download or run but that’s no fun and I am also curious.
