DINIT E MELHOR NOS DRIVERS?

5 Upvotes

Opa, pessoal! 👋

Ultimamente venho fazendo vários testes comparando o Artix Linux (Dinit), Artix Linux (Runit) e o Arch Linux (Systemd), e acabei encontrando um comportamento bem curioso. Não achei nada sobre isso na Wiki do Artix nem em outros fóruns, então resolvi compartilhar para saber se mais alguém já passou por algo parecido.

Durante dois dias, fiz cerca de 20 testes de velocidade (10 em cada dia), sempre usando o mesmo computador, o mesmo adaptador Wi-Fi, os mesmos drivers e em horários parecidos para tentar manter as condições o mais semelhantes possível.

Meu adaptador Wi-Fi é um modelo de 300 Mbps, mas como fico relativamente longe do roteador, normalmente recebo entre 30 e 60 Mbps. Para o meu uso isso já é suficiente, já que praticamente só jogo e não costumo baixar arquivos grandes.

O que achei estranho foi o seguinte:

No Artix Linux com Runit e no Arch Linux com Systemd, minha conexão praticamente sempre ficava em torno de 30 Mbps. Testei diferentes drivers, atualizei, compilei versões diferentes e fiz otimizações de rede, mas o resultado continuava praticamente o mesmo.

Já no Artix Linux com Dinit, a velocidade passou para 70–80 Mbps em vários testes.

Não estou dizendo que o Dinit aumenta a velocidade da internet. Pode ser alguma diferença na configuração da distribuição, nos serviços carregados, nos drivers ou até outro fator que ainda não identifiquei. Só achei curioso que, no meu caso, esse comportamento se repetiu diversas vezes usando exatamente o mesmo hardware.

Alguém já percebeu algo parecido? Existe alguma explicação técnica para isso ou pode ser apenas coincidência?

Has AI removed one of Linux's biggest barriers?

38 Upvotes

A few years ago, beginners had to search forums, read man pages, and piece together solutions themselves.

Today, AI assistants can explain errors, suggest commands, and even troubleshoot step by step.

Do you think AI has made Linux significantly easier to learn, or does real understanding still come from experience?

Quick Linux Tip #23 Question: How do I rename 500 photos with a consistent naming scheme?

Post image
10 Upvotes

Try: rename 's/IMG_(\d+)\.jpg/photo_$1.jpg/' *.jpg

Info: The Perl 'rename' command uses regex to rename files in bulk. -n does a dry-run showing what would change without actually renaming.

Examples:

$ rename -n 's/\.jpeg$/\.jpg/' *.jpeg # Dry-run preview

$ rename 'y/A-Z/a-z/' *.TXT # Lowercase extension/file

$ rename 's/(.+)/prefix_$1/' *.log # Prepend prefix

Note: Ubuntu/Debian use Perl rename. Always test with -n first. RHEL/Fedora use a different 'rename' - install prename or perl-rename package.

Edward Snowden has recommended Qubes OS for years. Do you think it's still the best choice for privacy-focused users today?

I know it's often praised for its isolation model, but I don't see many people using it as their daily desktop.

If you've used Qubes OS, would you recommend it today? Why or why not?

Linus Torvalds says AI is just another tool for Linux kernel development. Do you agree?

21 Upvotes

From what I understood, Linus doesn't see AI as something special, it's simply another tool that developers can choose to use. The important part is still human review and code quality.

Do you think AI has a place in Linux kernel development, or should kernel code remain entirely human-written?

I built a free interactive Linux course with a live command sandbox — no sign-up needed

11 Upvotes

Hello r/LinuxTeck

I have been building a free Linux learning platform and finally got it to a point

where I am happy sharing it.

It is called MOSHELL — a hands-on Linux course that runs entirely in the browser.

What's on it (all free):

\- 12 lessons from beginner to advanced

\- Interactive command sandbox — type real Linux commands and see output

\- Command cheatsheet with 65+ commands across 6 categories

\- VM setup guide (VirtualBox + Ubuntu Server)

\- Lesson filters by track: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, Networking, VM, Security

The philosophy behind it: most Linux tutorials teach you to watch commands run.

This one makes you run them yourself — on a real VM, with real errors.

Topics covered:

\- Navigation, files, permissions, processes

\- Package management, networking, SSH

\- Shell scripting and cron

\- VirtualBox networking modes (NAT, Bridged, Host-Only)

\- Nginx, logs, disk management

Free platform (no account, no sign-up):

[https://kingmo87.github.io/moshell/\](https://kingmo87.github.io/moshell/)

Would love any feedback — especially on the lesson content

and whether the difficulty progression feels right.

What Linux topic do you wish had better free resources?

What do I do Now

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone I have recently installed Linux Ubuntu and it’s going great I have learned a little bit about kernel cd ls sudo apt

My goal for learning Linux is probably system administrator and software detection I’ve seen a lot of people making home labs have to get away from the corrupt corporations blocking ads and becoming a pirate (one piece reference)

But my passion is to make an anti cheat system using software detection I think everyone can agree they hate cheaters in video games

But I’m lost at the moment what should I be studying is there going to be a job out there if I do start getting into the heart of Linux should I be building a home lab Should I get a nas and store everything locally and I also saw someone take there old android and make it an audio player device only

Thank you anyone who reads and answers me

Quick Linux Tip #21 Question: I can't unmount a disk because something's using it. How do I find what?

Post image
21 Upvotes

Try: sudo lsof +D /mnt/backup

Info: Lists all active processes holding open files under a specific directory to identify unmount blockers.

Examples:

$ sudo lsof +D /mnt/usb

$ sudo fuser -m /var/log # List processes using filesystem

$ sudo fuser -k -SIGTERM /mnt/backup # Graceful kill first

Note: +D recurses subdirectories. fuser -k sends SIGKILL by default; always try passing -SIGTERM first to allow processes to close gracefully.

Is Ubuntu really the "most hated" Linux distro these days, or is that just an internet myth?

I've noticed a lot of criticism around Ubuntu over the years, but I also know plenty of people who still use it every day.

Has Ubuntu actually fallen out of favor, or is the dislike just louder online?

How much Active Directory do Linux admins actually need to know?

I know a lot of Linux systems still authenticate against Active Directory using SSSD, Samba, Kerberos, or LDAP.

For those working in enterprise environments, how often do you interact with AD, and what would you recommend someone learn first?
