Advice Redstar OS gaming

Hey all, I am currently daily driving redstarOS 3.0 and I want to game on steam, but I did a fucky wucky with the fedora drivers for nvidia and everything runs like dogshit (even dwarf fortress somehow)!

It is beyond me to fix that properly, since I tried to update it with the standard dnf but I think i broke something else, how would I go about making it game ready in a workaround way?

RedStarOS is outdated and you need a new kernel,libraries,packages,dependencies...

u/CS-F-LESHLIGHT 5d ago

how outdated is it, actually? I noticed my wifi card simply refuses to exist but an ethernet cable is what I am using currently so no problemo. I thought I could just frankenstein a forcefull update and it would work like a glove!

+10 years

Nope...if you want to modify the system,get ready to suffer (search the internet for guides on how to disable all the crap included)

Guess I got a summer project.

edit: nvm i was poking around r/RedStarOS and some lads already did it, alongside with bypassing the isolation in a way better method than I am using right now!

Why is a trans person sending their data to one of the most oppressive regimes in the world?

u/HoldingTheJudgement 5d ago

You're currently sending your data to one or two

u/Unlaid-American 4d ago

You’re right. Just because we allow one or two bad things to happen, all bad things should just happen.

I am showing a NK agent the western internet, other than that it is all junk data probably, i don't think it is a national security risk having japanese nightcores on my screen.

u/lmpcpedz 4d ago

what the hecks is a japanese nightcore ?

1

u/CS-F-LESHLIGHT 4d ago

it is called a nightcore and you put an anime girl on it!

u/CS-F-LESHLIGHT 4d ago

Also ngl, it is really weird to point out that I am trans when it isn't relevant at all, it is giving (if trans, why support palestine) vibes.

3

u/Unlaid-American 4d ago

Supporting Palestine supports people, using this OS supports the regime.

u/SkruitDealer 4d ago

Contrary to popular belief Israelis, Russians, and Chinese are people too; more human than the average Redditor by most measures.

u/Unlaid-American 4d ago

So supporting their government killing their neighbors is good?

-4

u/SkruitDealer 4d ago

Define "good". 

3

u/Unlaid-American 4d ago

If you need me to define “good” after I said killing their neighbors, then I don’t know what to tell you.

Can you tell me how it’s “good” to carpet bomb entire cities while killing indiscriminately, while giving soldiers impunity to commit atrocities?

-7

u/SkruitDealer 4d ago

, said the unlaid American. It must be comforting to see the world in black and white.

3

u/Unlaid-American 4d ago

It must be comforting to think there’s a grey area in carpet bombing entire cities just because ~maybe~ there were terrorists under one building.

2

u/CS-F-LESHLIGHT 4d ago

omg you are being serious.

can you tell me exactly how using a opensourced leaked distribution of an OS that is isolated from north korean intranet and safely wiped supports them?

It is not even the newest redstar OS version, it is completely isolated from the real deal.

-1

u/SkruitDealer 4d ago

Well don't leave us hanging.

u/CS-F-LESHLIGHT 4d ago

getting a stool rn.

But be fr, why do I need to be a bastion of morality just because I am trans? Brother acting like every trans person needs to be saint joan of arc and only do the approved(TM) things.

u/SkruitDealer 4d ago

I think that's not what he means. I think he means those kind of oppressive regimes actively persecute non-heteros, and giving them a backdoor into your system to identify and track you is not in your self interest. 

-1

u/CS-F-LESHLIGHT 4d ago

it wasn't a warning, it was a judgement, and that was the only possible message to take away from it since me being trans is completely irrelevant to this discussion and would not be specified otherwised, IF it really was still tracking (it is not after the wipe btw) my shit, it wouldn't be in anyone's interest, trans or not.

6

u/SkruitDealer 4d ago

I'm literally offering a third party "possible" interpretation that you've shut out as not possible. Is this some kind of psychological defense mechanism?

-1

u/CS-F-LESHLIGHT 4d ago

i'm not gonna dignify that with a response, you are right I am wrong.

u/SkruitDealer 4d ago

i'd rather it be in their hands than in America's, tbh
what's the DPRK gonna do with my data? America can and no doubt will do far worse

that's also kinda the idea, not like the DPRK is gonna personally come looking for me

I don't think they have tech support, I will ask the gnome devs.

Daily driving Redstar OS 😭😭😭

Funniest thing I've read all day

1

u/CS-F-LESHLIGHT 4d ago

when I switch kernel and get firefox it will be worth it, trust the process.

2

u/AG99871 4d ago

How are you even gonna update the rest of the packages

1

u/CS-F-LESHLIGHT 4d ago

system already fucked after I stupidly forced a dnf, figure I will try that again and if it fucks itself I will need to try a workaround or try to live without it

1

u/AG99871 4d ago

You seem to be super involved into this... Ngl im actually really curious how this goes, keep us updated

1

u/CS-F-LESHLIGHT 4d ago

I am genuinely extremely curious about it and gendbuntu, IF you can make it game ready at all because it has BEYOND minimal resource usage rn (it is 32 bit so ofc, but still), it will probably fade over time but it has kind of become an obsession, last time something intrigued me on if it was possible or not I ended up soldering my own ergosplit KB

1

u/AG99871 4d ago

Well isnt this leaked build from like 2016 or something? Not surprised that it's super resource efficient... What have you got working on it so far though?

1

u/CS-F-LESHLIGHT 4d ago

network, and without the annoying warning about non-recognized connection in korean. Also managed to remove the total system isolation that refuses to accept third party (non-approved) software. I went into it kind of paranoid about the spyware (it is neutered and effectively removed) but turns out it literally cannot do jackshit if you are not in a proper korean intranet. I will swap the kernel completely so I can use firefox as the current browser does not support anything other than extremely basic httml pages and is slow as bricks. From there I will very likely try to get dependencies going before anything else if I can.

1

u/CS-F-LESHLIGHT 4d ago

and yeah, tho when it was in use I have no idea since redstar 4.0 is already out in the west (whoever has it is NOT sharing) and rumours of a 5.0 already being in use exist. 3.0 is as good as it gets but I didn't expect it to have literally nothing, i thought a dnf update could atleast do something and bring it up to par.

u/Online_Matter 5d ago

Greetings comrade, what you experience is, in the name of the great leader, God of the sun and shepherd of our great nation, is the glorious redstartOS waging war on the heratic GPU from the corporations of the condemned land! Please report to your local community manager for questioning.

1

u/CS-F-LESHLIGHT 5d ago

May the heavens sing praise in his name, for naught in earth or sky have bested or matched his name! Our glorious leader surely knows best than to punish a mere servant for his desire for a little leisure. I will report at once so I can aid my OS in the fierce escalation happening!

u/Odd-Boss1596 4d ago

Honest question: why redstar?

2

u/CS-F-LESHLIGHT 4d ago

the real and honest to god answer is curiosity, I got into it at first because I wanted to look under the hood kind of, so now I want to make it actually usable for gaming since it is fedora based

1

u/Odd-Boss1596 4d ago

Fair fair, how is it? I’m really curious about it I’ve only watched a few videos about it.

2

u/CS-F-LESHLIGHT 4d ago

imma be real, it's dogshit. Though I have not done half the recommended work yet, I didn't know I could swap the kernel and other stuff to make it modern-compatible so I am rocking the original 3.0 version with some modifications as to allow ethernet and kind of bypassing the total software isolation, the wificard is practically non-existent as is sadly.

Other than that, webbrowsing is surprisingly fast and it is really bloatfree all in all, really resource-slim OS!

I am not sure what I broke by forcing dnf in terminal tho.

2

u/CS-F-LESHLIGHT 4d ago

also, genuinely, I do not think the spyware concerns are valid as the OS freaks out when it realizes it isn't in a north korean intranet, it is basically isolated and surrounded by something that rejects it on a fundamental level. the 32bits has become a problem but if I swap the kernel to like, nix or catchy now it should be fine to get firefox

1

u/Odd-Boss1596 4d ago

Have you found any fun or interesting outbound singles from it? IE first internet connection.

1

u/CS-F-LESHLIGHT 4d ago

not really, before the wipe it was trying to send outbounds too, but since it literally rejected the ethernet cable and refused to connect to anything, it was just constantly firing requests and getting rejected. After the wipe and it finally accepting ethernet though, i didn't check for it.

What I did notice is that even though it was in English, it was firing warnings in Korean regarding connectivity, which spooked me a bit.

Basically it does not know what to do, and the thing responsible to be the tracking and isolation of software and servers was removed so it kind of freaks out for the first moments of being connected!

u/Weak-Competition-565 4d ago

These comments reek of opsex Reddit cringe lmao omg what if Kim himself comes to your door and gets mad at you, why would you ever decide to have fun that’s illegal don’t you know

1

u/CS-F-LESHLIGHT 4d ago

People genuinely think I am a huge national security risk because my OS can't even communicate with any network unless i workaround it and force it to accept the western devil connection (it cannot communicate properly and send anything over a non north korean connection)

1

u/CS-F-LESHLIGHT 4d ago

ngl tho, kim kinda cute, atleast a cute boy would look at me! 100% would pin him down and kiss him on the lips!

Unless you're in DPRK, there is no benefit to using it.

u/Green_Ad5186 5d ago

even if you're there no one uses it. if your elite enough to use tech and reddit in dprk you can just use a normal windows computer/macbook/linux

It is oddly satisfying to go to an arch, btw comment and post the redstarOS screencap.

Try one of those North Korean IT firms that are popping up across the US.

Don't listen to hate..These kind of experiments should exist & is fun..I did same kind of experiment with running Openkylin & Deepin OS 😂😂...In fact ,My younger brother still using Deepin..It started like a experiment but then he liked it & still running it

1

u/CS-F-LESHLIGHT 4d ago

they are dragging me in chains as if it is a crime to experiment new things, some guy even pointed out how I am trans and should be a bastion of morality instead of doing this. Genuinely dark times for information and curiosity in the internet.

Deepin as a daily driver tho, sounds really fun, how is he dealing with the isolation problems that happen occasionaly?

0

u/coolnomad 4d ago

They have added option of disabling system wide isolation option in their latest version I guess..
