From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

No not a part of the OS and als no idea why they used python, that script is full of crazy functions so may be needed.
I translated the python 3.12 to 3.9 using ChatGPT lol, as even after installing up-to-date python and placing it in my home $PATH the script threw errors.
I think it worked, but there is an issue with my atomic system, so I likely need to build an RPM for the changes or use a different command for akmods or package the kernel myself or whatever.
Ah, I see. Well I'm glad it worked!
🤣 damn I would've been looking for a new image to flash at that point.
I'm glad chatGPT didn't brick your system.
Where'd you get the audio setup script?
I am on a Chromebook and that is a recommended script. There are really just a few functions in python 3.11 that are missing in 3.9
This script? https://github.com/WeirdTreeThing/chromebook-linux-audio
I'm not familiar with bootc based systems but it looks like you could hack up the container spec here: https://codeberg.org/HeliumOS/bootc to build heliumOS with those changes. You would then use something like
bootc switch ...to use it.(Add a line in the docker file to install newer python and run the audio script. I'm not sure if the script requires changes for this.)
I could be way off base with this idea, I'm not sure how heliumOS expects users to install packages.
You may also be able to run the latest python docker image to run the script, but the way this script modifies system files shouldn't work on an immutable system.
Haha thanks for the idea!
That actually makes a lot of sense. The image building simply should be really easy if you can just pull the already made image and just add the file.
There is an example to install newer python, do something and uninstall it again (which I wouldnt do).
Thanks, I will try to do that. I think HeliumOS has a future as a ChromeOS alternative
