I am waiting for Plasma 6 too. Maybe it will ship with Fedora 40 🤔

I hope so

And I am looking forward to Ubuntu server 24.04

governorkeagan, in Make a Linux App

I’d been playing with the idea of building a Linux app. I used Post Haste on Windows to help me organise footage but haven’t found a substitute on Linux yet.

noisypine, in Make a Linux App

I’m interested in new distributions, but it really needs to do something new. Different default packages with a handful of custom things on top of an existing distro just doesn’t cut it. Give me a NixOS, Puppy Linux, ReactOS(I know it’s not a distro) or something else unique. I’m tired of Debian/Ubuntu based distros, if I wanted Debian or Ubuntu, I would use them.

It’s amazing that Linux gaming is becoming a thing that’s better sometimes than Windows gaming (minus the getting banned part in some games). I also like that AMD is making some big pushes on open source drivers, plus their ROCm open-source alternative to CUDA.

This is a great time for Linux users! :)

cybersandwich,

I just ROCm was built in to mesa. Because either you use the proprietary drivers that have some issues, or use mesa and fight with everything (amf, ROCm) to try and get it working.

Proof that the Linux kernel is the Debil!

yay devil 😈

Edit: For those who don’t use Arch bytheway, yay is an “AUR helper:” basically a frontend for our package manager that adds support for building packages from source.

Hail, SATAN!

Grimpen,

SATAN’s popularity diminished after the 1990s.

Plasma 6 for sure. I’m a Gnome user waiting with bated breath to see if it actually delivers the goods.

Always hoping for Nvidia to stop being bullshit. Definitely not buying from them again.

const_void,

What Plasma 6 feature has you most excited?

Thwompthwomp,

Not OP, but I’m excited about the baked in tiling. Nervous about Wayland as I think I have some stuff that will break, but we’ll see.

GnuLinuxDude,
@GnuLinuxDude@lemmy.ml avatar

None in particular. Just the totality of the changes. Many of them are small default changes or usability changes, but when taken together it sounds like a nice, somewhat overdue bundle.

juli,

You can test it today. The feature freeze has happened already, thus nothing will change until the release

GnuLinuxDude,
@GnuLinuxDude@lemmy.ml avatar

I don’t really know how to install something like a beta version of KDE, especially without messing up things on my own computer.

juli,

With an immutable system you can’t fuck things up. I guess you aren’t on one. In that case, use boxes and install it in a vm :)

governorkeagan, in USB webcam lagging only in Zoom?

Have you tried the Zoom web app? They have a link on their site where you can join a meeting in your browser to test if your webcam/mic work correctly

cygnus,

It works perfectly there! Thanks for this — it confirms the issue is with the standalone app (and Flatpak).

What are women most excited for?

odium,

Why are you bringing gender into something that doesn’t need any gendering?

acastcandream, (edited )

I mean in their defense…the title is gendered lol

Jokes aside they’re clearly poking fun at the title. Go read it out loud you probably missed the mistake.

Thank you so much everyone. I’m very likely going to try the live usb method with linux mint probably. I really appreciate all the advice.

fschaupp,
@fschaupp@lemmy.ml avatar

Smart choice! The option to just try it in a safe way with the live USB is a good way to try it.

Also try out some of the themes in the settings 😉 The amazing wallpapers of Linux Mint are so fancy, so I decided to use it on my work Windows PC, which I am forced to deal with ☺️

tiny_electron, in What are you most excited when it comes to linux in 2024?

Ubuntu 24.04!

beejjorgensen, in USB webcam lagging only in Zoom?
@beejjorgensen@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

I also run Arch and have this same problem. I dug in for a bit, but found nothing. :( Webcam works perfectly well in all other circumstances except Zoom.

Potajito, in USB webcam lagging only in Zoom?

Probably the web app works better than the native app. Also, try the flatpak if you still prefer native, it’s better than what’s on the repos imo.

It does work better for me in general. The video is no longer slow… unless I start using a virtual background, then it gets really sluggish. (Firefox.)

theshatterstone54, in What are you most excited when it comes to linux in 2024?

Work in Cinnamon on Wayland, Plasma 6, XFCE 4.20 for Wayland support, WINE on Wayland, The Fancy Hyprland-like effects coming to Qtile Wayland, basically everything Wayland.

    Interesting, the Flatpak is laggy for me.

    And here’s a customary video of metalhead nerds celebrating.
