RegalPotoo, in Why aren't linux hardware shops on Ubuntu's certified hardware list?
@RegalPotoo@lemmy.world avatar

Because the list is “certified” not “works with” - essentially, the “certified” list is for hardware that not only works, but that Canonical will guarantee works and will make software changes to fix if it breaks

onlinepersona,

Sure, but why aren’t those vendors certified? Is it a lack of action on the vendor’s part? Is it a monetary problem where Canonical is demanding too much money and thus gatekeeping smaller vendors with smaller pockets from being certified? what is it?

MrAlternateTape,

I suspect most vendors just dgaf about being linux certified. They just build their hardware to work with Windows since that is what most people will use. If the hardware happens to work with Linux too, great. But it’s much more important to make sure it works with a system that over 90% of your users use.

If you build laptops that you deliver with a Linux system on it, then yes, you will make sure it is Linux certified and it works properly.

It’s not difficult to imagine that for most laptops that are made, Linux wasn’t even considered for a second.

I’m very interested in the secrets storage. Hopefully that includes integrating programs with GNOME Secrets, especially firefox

AProfessional,

That is a Mozilla task. I can’t imagine they want it.

jack,

There are browser extensions like KeepassXC

lemmyvore, in X11 forwarding (X server) for Android

scrcpy

phx,

The play store entry for that looks even more sketchy

Mixel,

Source code is available at GitHub but it require you to have your phone by yourside e.g. connected via usb or in the same network so you can connect via IP

averyminya,

SCRCPY is phenomenal.

fuckwit_mcbumcrumble,

I use it daily at work and it’s fine. It does everything you’re looking for in the way you’re looking for it.

Android natively supports video out for screen recording on your local machine. This just ingests the stream and plays it live instead of saving it.

GustavoM, in Best distro for my Laptop?
@GustavoM@lemmy.world avatar

Mint if you are a newbie.

ZorinOS if you have no idea what you are doing.

Gentoo if you hate yourself.

Debian for that false sense of security (Its motto is “outdated packages = more security”).

Synopsis0795,

Sorry, I had forgotten to mention in my post, i am looking for a distro for max performance.

backhdlp,
@backhdlp@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Arch or Gentoo, depending on if you have the time to compile everything.

muhyb,

If what you really seek is the max performance, then the answer is easy: Gentoo.

RagingToad,

Debian actually does security updates on those old packages.

Debian is more a “stable and boring” kind of thing :-)

Vqhm, in Is an unknown supervisor password for ThinkPad bios an issue if I've already installed linux?

It won’t matter that much UNLESS a specific setting you might want is disabled such as virtualization.

Consider checking now if virtualization is enabled or disabled. If your BIOS settings are fairly permissive it isn’t that big of a deal. But if they are restrictive it can make it a pain in the ass to work around.

@GustavoM@lemmy.world avatar

Use PS1=“▌t▐nw→” to display your local time each time you press enter. And make aliases of lengthy commands such as alias internettest=“curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sivel/speedtest-cli/master/speedtest.py | python -” (You need to install python to run this.)

Cool. Now how about image thumbnail in the file picker. I mean seriously…

MonkderZweite, (edited )

Btw, why is filepicker a toolkit thing and not something the user can choose or switch out?

d_k_bo,

If the program uses xdg-desktop-portal, the file picker isn’t provided by the toolkit but by your desktop / portal implementation.

MonkderZweite,

Yeah, i mean outside of that. General Gtk and Qt applications.

fossisfun,
@fossisfun@lemmy.ml avatar

Outside of that the toolkit’s file picker is used, as the system doesn’t seem to provide one (via the portal), so the only reasonable fallback is to show the file picker that you know is there, which is the one of the application’s toolkit.

mfat,

Wasn’t this fixed finally a while ago? I swear i read somewhere it was.

makingStuffForFun,
@makingStuffForFun@lemmy.ml avatar

My understanding is it’s 13 years or so of requests, and still nothing. Something so incredibly basic, and required.

    MDKAOD, (edited ) in NVIDIA Linux Driver Adds Wayland Bug Fixes and Improvements

    “hey here’s news. Maybe. I can’t actually tell you. It’s just what I was told. This hasn’t been relevant to me since it once was. But here’s a blog post about it. I like cheese.”

    filister,

    Your point being?

    misophist, (edited )

    Really weird article. A bunch of snarky comments from the author that add nothing to the conversation. “It’s been a decade since I touched an Nvidia card, so I’m just giving you the info I read in a changeling. Couldn’t tell you if it was true or not, so fuck you!”

    filister,

    I am also not a fan of this website, but NVIDIA proprietary drivers are notoriously bad especially with Wayland, so I was thinking that people might find it useful and upgrade their drivers.

    null,

    It’s weird that you’re being this defensive about it.

    The other commenter wasn’t chastising you for posting the article, they were commenting on the article and the author of it. Nothing to do with you.

    MDKAOD,

    Nailed it. Sorry @filister, definitely was not a commentary on your post.

    I got different colors for Kubernetes clusters. Like green for testing cluster, yellow for development and red for production. Always taking a Quick Look before I do something

    Kobaltauge,

    This sounds awesome. Do you change the color based on the selected cluster? Do you set an environment variable?

    Yes this works with powerlevel10k theme for oh my zsh.

    Reset forgotten supervisor password

    If you forget your supervisor password, Lenovo cannot reset your password. You must take your computer to a Lenovo Service Provider to have the system board replaced.

    alphapuggle, in Is an unknown supervisor password for ThinkPad bios an issue if I've already installed linux?

    Try this

    bios-pw.org doesn’t explicitly say it supports any Lenovo products, but I’ve had luck using them with Dell products before. No clue if this will work for you or if it’s a generic article meant to suck you in and grab ad revenue.

    SubArcticTundra, (edited ) in GNOME Recognized as Public Interest Infrastructure
    @SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml avatar

    I really do wish governments invested more in open source. If it’s a generic thing like an operating system that the public could benefit from at large, they would be doing the public a service.

    Edit: Germany does it again!

    pingveno,

    The US has the US Digital Service. Alex Gaynor, who has had involvement in a wide array of OSS projects, is employed there.

    nexussapphire,

    Government ran distros in public schools and government offices wouldn’t be any more invasive than windows working with the government. Better yet there actually be some sort of education on using the os and exponential growth of the Linux desktop as a whole.

    I just wish KDE would get some love too. They work their asses off to make a desktop suit as many use cases and workflows as possible while maintaining a mostly polished experience. Their not afraid to implement stuff knowing it’s just a temporary solution till other projects catchup. They are actually willing to work with other projects on implementing standards and are developing standards like HDR on wayland for professional artists and gamers and are the first to jump on major features as soon as its solid.

    Gnome is just annoying mess great for smartphone users unwilling to learn anything new and had never touched a pc or Mac in their life. What’s the appeal of using something with half its features gutted for the sake of looks just to have everyone add it back in anyway. It’s an annoying Apple like philosophy of let’s implement counter intuitive interfaces to preserve a look and never change it back because we’re always right. You’d think they’d have improved the window snap feature since 3.0

    TheGrandNagus,

    Ffs I knew this submission would turn into a minority of Plasma users trying to piss on Gnome. Can you not just be happy that an open source project is receiving help and that this will be a big improvement for accessibility features?

    I never hear Gnome users crying about Valve heavily supporting KDE, so why are you angry about this?

    MazonnaCara89,
    @MazonnaCara89@lemmy.ml avatar

    I never hear Gnome users crying about Valve heavily supporting KDE, so why are you angry about this?

    This does not happen because Gnome is the most supported desktop environment out there, they have Red Hat, Google, Canonical, OpenSuse even Microsoft donated to Gnome. Don’t get me wrong some of this company do support kde too, but Gnome get treated in a different way because it’s the default de for most of the distros out there.

    TheGrandNagus,

    Like you said, these companies help KDE too. KDE also has more hardware partners, and more contributors.

    Even ignoring all that though, it still doesn’t answer the question: why cry over Gnome getting money to aid in accessibility improvements?

    I have never once heard anybody cry about the companies that support KDE, yet some people here go on like Gnome fucked their girlfriend. It’s pathetic.

    Nobody’s forcing anybody to use Gnome or any any other DE. Just be happy when nice things happen in the FOSS word.

    But I’m using xfce here… :‘) and It doesn’t even get some funds :’(

    Wayland on XFCE is still farr farrrrrr :')

    nexussapphire,

    I’m not complaining about gnome getting support, I’m complaining about kde being overlooked because gnome is the default desktop for Ubuntu. Kde is just a better tool for people wanting to just get things done. Gnome is pretty I’ll give you that but ask anyone, they are very hard to work with and stubbornly refuse compromise when working with others on creating useful tools and standards.

    Just think how many times they broke extensions without any regard for the individuals using it. Their efforts to make other projects wait for them to deside what’s best for gnome like they are the only desktop that matters. The projects like portals usually say their going to implement the standard despite what gnome wants and kde often helps with the brunt of that work.

    KISSmyOS, (edited )

    Just think how many times they broke extensions without any regard for the individuals using it.

    You have no idea what you’re talking about.
    It’s the job of the Gnome developers to update and improve Gnome.
    It’s the job of the extension developers to update their extensions when there’s a new Gnome version.
    And it’s the job of your distro’s maintainers to keep the versions of Gnome and the extensions in the repo compatible.
    If you install Gnome from your distro’s repo and extensions from Gnome’s website, YOU take on this job.

    Just install your extensions from your distro’s repo and you won’t have any issues.

    TheGrandNagus, (edited )

    I’m not complaining about gnome getting support

    You literally are.

    I’m complaining about kde being overlooked

    KDE isn’t overlooked. KDE gets funding too. Valve and others have put so much into KDE. KDE has the most hardware partnerships. KDE has more contributors.

    Kde is just a better tool for people wanting to just get things done

    In your opinion…

    I do all my work on Gnome because it’s got an amazing and highly productive workflow, minimal distractions, and it’s extremely stable.

    I like Plasma, I like the options it has, I have it on one of my laptops, but it’s not what I’d use for work. The last thing I need is for kwin to crash and take all the programs I had open with it, losing hours of work. Yes, I’m aware this should be fixed in Plasma 6, but as of right now it’s a massive showstopper.

    stubbornly refuse compromise when working with others on creating useful tools and standards

    Gnome has championed a lot of open standards, and worked with others. You’re just repeating a Reddit meme. They’ve done so much flatpak, portals, open-desktop stuff in collaboration with KDE and others.

    Just think how many times they broke extensions without any regard for the individuals using it.

    You’re showing a complete lack of understanding about what extensions are.

    Extensions are impossible not to break from time to time. Extensions don’t use some unchanging API to work - they’re modifications on the DE itself. That’s why they’re so powerful.

    There’s no way around DE mods sometimes becoming borked when the DE gets a big update.

    Why are you acting like Gnome is against portals lmao, they’ve been massively pushing portals and open desktop standards, even going as far as refusing to implement features unless there’s a cross-desktop standard way of handling it (e.g. accent colours, which they are only now putting in place now that they and KDE have hammered out a sensible standard for it. Or a better system tray, which they’ve been trying to spearhead an open, cross-desktop solution for for years now, although little progress has been made by everyone). Of the DEs, Gnome has pushed for things like portals and flatpaks the most lol

    We get it. In your mind, Gnome = bad and evil and nasty, KDE = good quirky and kool.

    SubArcticTundra,
    @SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml avatar

    Oh I see, I didn’t realize there was such a contrast between the cultures of KDE and GNOME. Idk why ppl are downvoting you

    Audacity9961, (edited )

    They are being downvoted because it is utter nonsense, spouted as authoritative fact.

    Anyone who has ever used gnome seriously, knows that although it can be used for touch it is heavily keyboard oriented.

    While not undermining the work of KDE devs who I have great admiration for, GNOME devs also work heavily on standards that benefit all of linux, and arguably do just as much if not more, as they are a very well resourced project.

    Swedneck,
    @Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

    that would be a sound investment and we can’t have that, the government must focus on actively detrimental infrastructure projects to put money in the pockets of rich people.

    just_another_person, in How to download ALL dependencies for an external .deb package (rescuezilla)?

    This seems like a trick question, but app the repo to your apt sources first, then try to install. Step through for each unresolved dep if needed.

    iturnedintoanewt,
    @iturnedintoanewt@lemm.ee avatar

    That’s…a lot of dependencies to manually get. This wouldn’t have worked. And I need a reproducible method so I can do this fully offline without having to match apt to anything online.

    caseyweederman,

    If the dependencies are in the repos you’ve added since, then apt-rdepends should be able to pull them.
    I had to keep chaining grep -v to ignore packages that didn’t exist but the result was a success.
