Cicraft, in Plymouth not working in Kubuntu

Cities don’t exist inside computers, silly

possiblylinux127, in Acer Aspire 1 ARM Laptop Has Nearly Complete Upstream Linux Support

I would be ok with 6Gb of ram but 4Gb isn’t enough.

4GB in 2023 is comical. My Lenovo tablet has 6GB and I think that is really the new floor for any kind of desktop use. I have a 4GB Raspberry Pi and it makes an adequate desktop but it would still be better with more RAM.

mfat, in Fedora Asahi Remix Officially Released for Apple Silicon Macs

I mean this is what a proper distro loooks like. Tailoring another distro for a true, specific purpose. Kudos to the team.

Yes, it’s not just a DE and default package set but actual system improvements other distros aren’t offering. Kudos to the Asahi team for making this possible!

UID_Zero, in xfsdump questions
@UID_Zero@infosec.pub avatar

I read the man page, but I didn’t see the answer to your question in there.

I am assuming that it would only dump the root filesystem in your example. Other mounted filesystems like /home or /media, if they’re separate filesystems, probably aren’t included. You’d have to run a separate dump for each one.

Best option to find out is to try it and see what happens. No better way to learn than by doing.

Hey this is just what I need. And exactly when I needed it.

I have an old enterprise tower I’ve been trying to set up for my bedroom tv (I believe from 2009 or so) that only has 4gb ram but 12 (!!!) usb ports, and mint with xfce is still much too heavy for it, despite it being able to run win 10 fairly well.

All it needs to be able to do is run my vpn, torrent client, and web browser for media playback (Plex web, hosted elsewhere on my network).

Yeah, fuck substack. Fucking Nazi sympathizers.

atzanteol, in Redox OS - an OS built entirely out of Rust

If it weren’t “written in rust” nobody would give a shit.

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug,

Do you think other people do things simply because they think you will care?

jack,

So?

atzanteol,

My exact response when reading the title.

stepanzak,

I would definitely give a shit even if it was whole OS written in JavaScript.

Drito, (edited ) in Fully featured tilling window managers (like DEs) for lazy people

For me the main config difficulty is from the statusbar. Polybar, Eww, are harder to config comparing to the WM. I solved that with Tint2 bar. It can be configured from an GUI, for the basics. The only code I added to config is simple.

execp_command = xdotool getwindowfocus getwindowname

It prints the window name on the bar. It is useful for bspwm windows.

For me this is Gnome with the pop shell extension. It’s so much better than plain i3 in usability and just as good with tiling. Using i3 for years made me appreciate the value of a proper modern desktop environment.

HalcyonReverb, in GNOME Sees Progress On Variable Refresh Rate Setting, Adding Battery Charge Control

The Steam Deck is what got me to finally try modern KDE and eventually switch to it. I recently moved my gaming PC to Fedora 39, and considered trying Gnome again for variety’s sake until I remembered that it currently does not natively support VRR, so this is good news.

I think I prefer Plasma at this point, and I’m excited with Plasma 6 around the corner, but my desktop PC is basically a gaming appliance, so I think the relative simplicity of Gnome might be nice to run on there eventually as these features catch up. I like to have variety in what I’m running anyways. I appreciate that it gives me a wider perspective on my preferences.

TheGrandNagus, (edited ) in GNOME Sees Progress On Variable Refresh Rate Setting, Adding Battery Charge Control

Great. I heard there was a cursor flickering issue under some niche scenarios, due to the cursor and the content’s framerates becoming out of sync with one another after exiting some full screen apps, that was previously preventing the merge of this feature.

I’m assuming it’s been solved?

The “Preserve battery healthy by keeping charge between 20% and 80%” is a nice option too

rambos, in Help with Bluetooth on Pop!_OS

Im using anker soundcore bluetooth speaker on desktop PC. It was acting weird on windows, then I switched to PopOS and it became super smooth for more than a year. Turning on PC then speaker or the other way around it would always pair flawlesly. But since some update around a month ago its not always pairing automatically and sometimes I have to connect manually to get it working. Its not a big deal, but throwing it here in case someone knows a fix and even better if the same fix can help with OPs issue

Gingernate, in Help with Bluetooth on Pop!_OS

Ok you switched back to fedora, were you able to downgrade bluez? Also, is this a new popos install? Have you updated your system using “sudo apt update” and “sudo apt upgrade”? If the bluez fixed the issue on fedora I bet it will fix it on popos

somethingsomethingidk, in Use YAD/Zenity dialogues to populated variables in a bash script?

I have an array based solution but it doesn’t solve the cases of changing the order or empty fields.
