Tried it, and it works! Loads at startup, and I don’t have to reload the CoolerControl daemon or do any other manual intervention.

Thanks!

Thanks, sounds very similar to what’s going on with those users. I’ll look into that thread a little more

Unfortunately, this didn’t fix it, either before or after. sensors-detect can see the ITE chipset, but it says

Trying family 'ITE'...
Found unknown chip with ID 0x8688

After which it doesn’t find any modules to load for it, despite having a DKMS module installed that includes that chip.

(Also, I realize that I was using the incorrect ID before, but it seemed to work anyway.)

It worked, and I appreciate the explanation. I also realized I was using the wrong ID (which still worked, somehow); it should have been 0x8688.

I guess I can now figure out the best way to get that to run at startup or on login! Thanks again.

I did, but before I installed the modules. Do I need to also do it after?

No.

Physically remounting a drive is the same thing as just plugging in a USB and going to town. Instead of taking the drives to a different system, you’re bringing the different system to the drives!

I’m sure there are people aware but for the laymen this is such a massive vulnerability.

This is only a vulnerability if you suspect a threat actor might physically access your computer. For most people, this is not a concern. There’s also the issue that it has processing overhead, so it might make certain operations feel sluggish.

Encryption is not a panacea, because if someone ever forgets their password (something common for the layperson), the data on that drive is inaccessible. No chance for recovery. Certain types of software may not like it either. It’s one of many considerations someone should make when determining their own threat model, but this is not a security flaw. It’s an option for consideration, and most people are probably better off from a useability standpoint with encryption disabled by default.

Layering isn’t bad, but what happens is with each update, the system tries to re-layer each of those packages. If some are missing from the next deployment’s rpm database or have been superceded by another package, you’ll run into these kinds of issues.

In my case, for example, my next deployment was missing java-17-openjdk, because it had been superceded by other metapackages.

Have you layered any packages?

For the “none of the providers can be installed” errors, there’s likely been a package name change or removal in 42. I ran into a similar issue with Bazzite. I uninstalled the offending package, then reinstalled after the update.

The last one says there’s a package conflict. You’ll need to remove the one you have in order to proceed.

Damn, way to go. That’s some talent. Stick with it, and you’ll go places.

You’re gonna want to upgrade that cooler to the Peerless Assassin 120 or the Phantom Spirit 120 SE. The Assassin X won’t be able to handle the 105W CPU.

I have a 5700X3D, which is also a 105W CPU, and smaller coolers just weren’t enough, even with undervolting. I was always pushing max temps doing prime95, and upgrading the cooler to the Phantom Spirit fixed that.

Good luck! I’ll be there with you, figuring things out. See you on the Arch Wiki 😉

First of all, I’m not trying to tell you how you should live your life. My following commentary is well-intended and in the spirit of making informed decisions, of which I believe everyone has a fundamental right. At the end of the day, follow your conscience. It’s your life to live.

There’s a saying: “Don’t break Debian.” It’s considered among the most stable options, and that’s in part because of its extremely long test cycles (which can come with its own set of problems, on occasion).

I do find it curious that you’ve chosen to divest from even American FOSS projects. Like, Microsoft makes sense; they have no qualms about doing whatever they want with user data for profit, which inevitably goes towards billionaire machinations. But why draw that same line with FOSS?

It’s a way to do distributed parallel computing using consumer-grade hardware. I don’t actually know a ton about them, so you’d be better served by looking up information about them.

Maybe you want something like a Beowulf Cluster?

It’s what I have done. They’ll work slower, but you’ll get a sense of what they can do, how hard it is to do things, etc.

When you’re ready, I think all but Bazzite have Live ISO options, so you can see what it’s like on bare metal. When you’re satisfied, install your favorite!
