I recommend that route as well.

Since you don’t know much, stick to native services. In most cases those are already preconfigured if native service package is available.

You don’t specify.

Do you use containers or not? It sounds like you are trying to start a rootless container.

Otherwise, you are over complicating things.

Add to that need to use machinectl to establish normal user session with DBus in it.

But that only makes sense for rootless containers. User management in rootless container and users in roootful containers can get complicated fast and depends on how image is built.

If your facts were correct, this would not look so strange.

Look for roots of conflict deeper than what’s on the surface.

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.

What’s wrong with Chromium? License or Google backing?

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.

Is dbus still available on non-systemd?

Ukraine openly stated they want nukes and nato membership.

It is probably the best solution to the low memory problem, but it is also the least common and may be the most difficult.

Quality of life is pretty good or getting better on this side of the fence.

European consumer price index (CPI) rose 18% in last 2 years:

There is no public data after 2022 on happiness of EU population. How strange.

NATO isn’t stupid. As a whole, they don’t want to invade Russia. They are there to deter future territorial land grabs

Non-aggression statement dispelled

Nobody defined what Russian preparation for aggression looks like.

Nuclear war outcome

All mega cities flattened. Hundreds of thousands of people next to nuke hits are blind and are fated to die as there is nobody to help them. Fires and destruction everywhere.

Toxic cloud rain the size of large city like New-York near insta-killing everything on its path as it moves with the wind. Hundreds if not thousands (one per each nuke) of toxic rain clouds at the same time and there is nowhere to hide from them. The only solution is to avoid them, but it is impossible due to destruction, debris, and loss of transportation due to EMP from nearby nuke. Mountains will not be safe largely due to toxic rains.

Loss of almost all food storage and drinking water to destruction and toxic contamination.

Even physically intact buildings and their contents may be unsafe after toxic cloud rains. People would not know of what is safe, since most don’t have means to measure radiation levels.

Inability to grow food for many years due to contamination.

Nuclear winter (there are some doubts on this topic as well as contamination).

Lack of food and drinking water. Deaths from starvation and dehydration. Deaths from taking contaminated water and food coming faster and more terrifying than from starvation.

Later on deaths from lower doses of contamination.

Survivors will envy the dead and follow the dead.

Only people in bunkers with years in supplies will have a chance.

Ask Japanese that.

They know they got nuked, but don’t know who did it.

Absurd, but that’s the reality.

Medvedev threatened use of nukes in most direct words possible.

deleted by creator

I dare you to quote Putin as a proof. There’s simply no direct well defined threat from Putin on this topic.

There’s one from Medvedev, but he doesn’t represent Russian government and is not an official spokesperson for Russian government.

At this point it is more than just territorial control.

It is survival of the country as a whole. At higher level it is survival of the system on both sides.

The military operation has highlighted multiple issues in Russian system. While issues are significant, they are not critical and system currently manages to pretend like issues don’t exist.

The western system side is also experiencing problems. The problems are conceptually different, but the system is also in pretend mode like nothing is happening.

Side observer can’t really guess which system is going to crash first, if crash is coming. It is also possible that none will crash, and world will split into two or more centers of economic gravity.

I am not even looking at role China is playing in all of this. I can just say, that China gets sometimes inaccurate coverage in Western MSM, which results in faulty expectations.

That is a natural reaction of person that tracks only western MSM and doesn’t pay attention to gradual rise in western politician attitudes.

Russian nuclear doctrine change reflects changed attitude in western propaganda.

You must not be aware of the following developments. Poland is already primed to fight. Baltic states openly talk about preemptive strike on Russia. Western long range weapons are pretty much cleared to strike “old” Russian territory. Country on southern side of Russia is set to become 2nd Ukraine. NATO general claims that Russia will not use nukes under any circumstances and thus justifies any level of involvement.

In this environment expansion of nuclear deterrence is pretty much the only option from Russian point of view.

Please note that inside Russia there are calls to strike from Kiev to London due to crossing of previously announced red lines. Someone was right here. Putin is moderate if not outright inactive.

The above creates potentially unstable environment inside Russia and may give Russian government additional motivation to use nukes at location of regional importance.

There are some reasons for western side to provoke Russia, which nobody here wants to discuss or acknowledge.

It shall come as no surprise that NATO has larger military than Russia. Russia never made it a secret that the only way to balance out conventional strength difference is with nukes.

The calculation on Russian side is that they will destroy large amount of opposing side military and equipment. It should be enough to stop any meaningful ground action.

So, reality is very close to getting out of control.

All it takes is a small provocation on the border side that looks like invasion even if it is just a large scale disruption in communication on the border line and incursion of some military equipment.

The later happened already on Belorussian border in last 12 months. So the scenario was tested in part by Poland.
