Illecors, in Is there an easy way to set up an email client so you get system notifications in GNOME once you receive an e-mail?

Evolution work fine with a business google account. I couldn’t use gnome online accounts as that’s blocked by policy, but regular imap worked just fine.

Oh that explains a lot, thank you.

Gork, in Overheating laptop, should I try a lighweight distro - which one?

Honestly the best thing you can do is to remove and reapply thermal paste to the CPU / GPU. Go for something with a high thermal conductivity. There are plenty of videos online on reapplying thermal paste and that will definitely cool off your laptop when done correctly as it increases heat transfer to your heat sinks and fans.

I’ll defo have to do this then, seems like the most probably cause of the system overheating. Thank you

floofloof,

Also get some compressed air and blow all the dust out of your laptop’s fans and vents.

Omega_Jimes,

This should be done to any laptop after 4 years. A tube of paste only costs like $5, and it will have a massive difference.

Poe, in Help. Various games stopped working and i have no idea how to diagnose the issues

Try using an older version of proton?

dynamo,

didn’t work

Bo7a, in Help. Various games stopped working and i have no idea how to diagnose the issues

Did you move files to an NTFS shared drive? Proton + ntfs is flaky as all hell in my experience, and the problems are impossible to troubleshoot.

dynamo,

No, the drive has been ext4 encrypted with LUKS from the start.

Have you tried running themald?

@LunchEnjoyer@lemmy.world avatar

No have not heard of this before, will try it asap

nossaquesapao,

Thermald is the way. I have a fanless pc that used to hit critical temperatures and restart quite often, but after using thermald and simple rules, it works fine now.

Linux Foundation is where open source projects go to die.

In addition to the basic hardware care (checking for dust, reapplying thermal compound if necessary) you can run powertop to check what is keeping your CPU awake when it shouldn’t and take steps to purge unneeded services or resource-heavy applications.

Thanks wasnt aware of this resource, will get it :)

mvirts, in AMD+Wayland+dual monitor = Screen flickering

If you disable the TV display first, then turn it off, does the flickering happen?

mvirts,

Thinking that the TV is periodically connecting and your desktop environment is trying to switch to dual monitors before quickly losing the TV connection.

@iturnedintoanewt@lemm.ee avatar

I think it’s indeed related to detecting the TV on and off. On the previous PC (this one is just brand new) this didn’t happen.

Cralder, in wayland, not even once

This gets posted like once per week and this is inaccurate as shit.

“Wayland is bad, it can’t run xorg programs”

Ok but there is an exact copy of the program that is made for Wayland. It’s the same argument that Windows users use to discredit Linux .

“Linux is bad because it can’t run programs that were made for Windows”

rah, in Should I install Linux on my smartphone?

I guess doing the same on my smartphone wouldn’t be too hard

Snigger

Omega_Jimes,

Computer is computer, and it works great. Phone is computer, so it should work great.

I understand this thought train, but yeah I had the same reaction as well.

VinesNFluff, in Firefox Is Going To Try And Ship With Wayland Enabled By Default
@VinesNFluff@pawb.social avatar

I’m so traumatized by how tech everything goes, that I read “Firefox is going to try (…)” and immediately braced for some dystopian bullshit.

Then saw “Wayland” and relaxed. I have no hot takes about Wayland lmao.

rah, in wayland, not even once

Ignorant fool.

    Yes! I’m eagarly waiting for bcachefs to land.

    Namstel,

    As a Linux noob I first thought you were just facerolling on your keyboard. But then I read it as b-cache-fs. It’s a new file system, I take it?

    PropaGandalf,

    Exactly! It is a new Btrfs competitor and OpenZFS alternative that is built upon the bcache codebase.

    Valmond,

    Any more info for a geek without too much time?

    Features include caching,[4] full file-system encryption using the ChaCha20 and Poly1305 algorithms,[5] native compression[4] via LZ4, gzip[6] and Zstandard,[7] snapshots,[4] CRC-32C and 64-bit checksumming.[3] It can span block devices, including in RAID configurations.

    The main takeaway from the article is that the developer’s name is Kent Overstreet, who beat his bitter rival Surrey Underpath, who are both canonically related to famed developer Cornwall Midroad.

    Valmond,

    Nice, thank you!

    Any word on RAM requirements?

    As someone else said, it’s similar to btrfs. bcachefs has a lot of functional overlap with btrfs, which is great. There have also been a few benchmarks showing that bcachesfs is faster for some situations (cold-cache warming, IIRC). One of the big advantages over btrfs is that bcachefs’s RAID is more robust - several of btrfs’s RAID levels have been marked as experimental and prone to data loss, for years. There’s been improvement in btrfs RAID lately; the skeptic in me believes this is directly a result of pressure from bcachefs, which is in a position to become a favored fs in Linux.

    Treczoks,

    And I'm waiting until bcachefs has sufficiently spread so I can see whether it really works or not.

    IAm_A_Complete_Idiot,

    Second person excited for bcachefs, I’m planning on swapping over as soon as it supports scrubbing.

    XTL,

    I really hope it would be a working one, not like xfs where your files may just disappear with no trace (never on Irix, never on any other fs) or like btrfs which may just suddenly go read only and be dead on reboot with no fsck and all data unreachable.

    How hard is it to get the basics right? Doesn’t matter how much rice there is if it keeps blowing up.

    KISSmyOS,

    This is why I still use EXT4 and a daily full disk image backup.

    XTL,

    Me too. I’ve run 30 years with ext and bsd filesystems with no failure. Many years with various UNIX native fs as well. But Linux xfs, reiserfs, btrfs all have resulted in catastrophic failure within a year on several machines. They’re permanently off my list, but I have some hope that someone will get a new fs right.

    taladar,

    A lot of the time it obviously takes a little while for userland tools to catch up and for distros to include both the new kernel and userland tools for it into their latest versions but once that is done average users certainly do notice differences. Literally all the features that are talked about a lot like BPF or io_uring or all the features that make containers possible were introduced in a kernel release at some point.

    warmaster,

    Example:

    Nvidia GSP in Nouveau:

    Any video related improvement is a must-have for gamers. This release will improve Nvidia support in the open source driver.

    Yeah do it each year, should have mentioned that :)

    piranhaphish, in Locking + unlocking my PC with a BLE-device?

    I used BlueProximity for a number of years and it was great.

    It eventually became defunct, but that link appears to be a fork to bring it somewhat up to date. I have not tested this new version though since I work from home now.

    Guenther_Amanita,

    Thanks, I will check that out!

    I just saw the original project that was abandoned and didn’t know there was a fork.

    Would you recommend installing the AppImage or shall I use another approach, like AUR in Distrobox, COPR, etc.?
