KrapKake, in In-progress COSMIC apps: terminal, file manager, text editor, and settings

Looks great, can’t wait!

throwawayish, (edited ) in Working instructions for OpenRazer on Fedora Silverblue?

It seems as if the uBlue images ship the required OpenRazer kmod by default. Therefore, I would suggest you to take a look at those. You still need to follow some additional steps though 😅. Which might not be very intuitive… Thus, I propose the following: if you’ll rebase to uBlue, you might as well rebase to Bazzite. After the rebase has been completed, the (post-)installation software should already give you the option (it’s just a simple toggle) to install OpenRazer. The toggle is clearly visible in this frame.

If you perceive Bazzite as too opinionated for your taste, then perhaps you might opt to the following instead:


<span style="color:#323232;">install-openrazer:
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    sudo wget https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/hardware:/razer/Fedora_$(rpm -E %fedora)/hardware:razer.repo -O /etc/yum.repos.d/hardware:razer.repo && 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    ublue-update --wait && 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    rpm-ostree install -y openrazer-meta razergenie && 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    if ! grep -q "plugdev" /etc/group; then 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      sudo bash -c 'grep "plugdev" /lib/group >> /etc/group' 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    ; fi && 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    sudo usermod -a -G plugdev $USER && 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    echo "Please reboot to apply needed changes."
</span>

Which should be the just-entry (and thus responsible) for whatever happens after the toggle is enabled*.

thayer,

That’s good to know, thanks! I’m quite content with vanilla Silverblue, but I’ll take a look at their build files and see how they’re pulling it off.

throwawayish,

Aight. I’ve changed the comment a bit 😅 since. Perhaps it’s more useful for you now 😉.

I wanted to make the same suggestion with uBlue. There’s also the silverblue-main image, which is very vanilla and the one I use. The kmod is already pre-installed there.

Bazzite can also be great, but it’s too opinionated for my taste. I like Silverblue also more like the devs intended.

I love that it isn’t all soft corners everywhere, but the pill-shaped buttons and selections seem out of place. I hope they can be made more square.

Corner roundedness is personal preference in the Appearance page in COSMIC Settings. Similar to interface density.

BlanK0, (edited ) in how do i transfer files via usb c cable from a pixel 6a (grapheneos) to linux mint?

There is a package called android-transfer-file or something like that in the void repos but I’m not sure if its also in the mint repos, might be worth checking, its a gui app that makes it very straightforward to transfer files. Or in last resort you can always git clone the project and use ‘make’ to build manually the app

If I cared about Qubes, Intel would be an instant dealbreaker. Same as it was for Framework.

lemmy_user_838586,

Can you explain a little bit? Which backdoors are you worried about with Qubes?

helenslunch,
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

I didn’t say anything about backdoors…

Intel mobile chips just blow and have for several years now

taanegl,

Historically speaking, IME has been a low hanging fruit of attack vectors and intel has arguably speaking had worse problems with security vulnerabilities on hardware and firmware levels than say AMD or ARM. A bit anecdotal, but there you are.

Patch,

Star Labs disable IME by default.

taanegl, (edited )

AMD and ARM also have their remote standards, but none as distrusted as IME.

Also, remember that vulnerability where IME could be enabled through the internet by a malicious actor? That was fun…

@kellenoffdagrid@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

To be fair, if you’re referring to the “alleged” backdoors in Intel processes, there’s pretty similar stuff going on in the AMD side too. That said, I still totally get not wanting to support Intel since they’re definitely the shadiest of the two, and they’ve been awful value these days.

The Framework 13 AMD is pretty great though, can confirm. It’s all I’ve ever wanted in a decent, repairable laptop.

No I’m just referring to the horrible inefficiency

OpenSuse Tumbleweed without a doubt!

Annie Linux, but sadly it doesn’t exist yet.

Mint.

moreeni, in Could we add "Distrochooser" to the sidebar?

In addition, to what everyone has already said, Distrochooser is just bad. It will often pull the stupid card, like this one:

Screenshot of distrochooser website, saying that being fine with telemetry contradicts your preference for running applications containerised

nossaquesapao, in When Windows 10 dies, I am going to jump ship over to Linux. Which version would you recommend for someone with zero prior experience with Linux? **Edit: Linux Mint it shall be.**

Good choice. Linux mint is nice for people coming from windows

WeLoveCastingSpellz, in Could we add "Distrochooser" to the sidebar?

Distro chooser is bad, so nah

@Father_Redbeard@lemmy.ml avatar

I went with Pop!_OS because it was one of the least Windows-like DEs. Which is what I wanted after getting so damn sick of their garbage. Kinda macOS though with the dock and all. I dig it.

init,

Plus they are working on COSMIC which looks SAF. That’s honestly the only thing that has kept me from distro hopping.

Definitely Linux Mint. Literally the best out there whether new to Linux or an advanced user.
