kzhe, in (Constructively) What is your least favorite distro & why?

VanillaOS looked really promising but it was terribly buggy when I used it.

bruce965, in Getting graphics artifacting on my 7840HS laptop, even after a motherboard replacement. Is it a driver thing?
@bruce965@lemmy.ml avatar

Could you describe the kind of glitches you are getting?

As a first test (and only as a test) I would try holding space bar during boot, then pressing E while focusing the Pop!_OS option, and removing quiet and splash from the line on the bottom, then pressing enter to boot.

merthyr1831,

General memory-corruption artifacting, such as pink checker-boxes around elements that are animating on the desktop. Swapping from fullscreen games would sometimes lock the system with a white screen (visually) until I restarted GNOME.

I’ve swapped over to KDE-Neon to see if Wayland might help, and it seems to have cleared up the artifacting but I can’t be sure until I test some games.

There’s also a possibility that the System76 power daemon was causing issues. I noticed that artifacts disappear altogether if I’m running any kind of GPU test, and I’ve seen some suggest that the GPU was running at a too low frequency. Would make sense if the daemon was the cause as that’s the other big change between Pop and KDE-Neon.

I’ll likely be back on Pop! when they bring out CosmicDE so I’ll try again then, but it might be that I avoid it for now.

I have the same chip in my mini PC (7840HS) and it works fine for me on Linux, but then again I use Arch + Wayland. Maybe you could try a couple of different distros on a Live USB or something (you could create one using Ventoy and then put a few different ISOs on there to play around with). I’d recommend choosing a distro with a recent kernel and updated graphics stack, for eg Arch or Bazzite and see how it goes.

But the artefacts you describe sound more like a hardware glitch to me. Have you tried running the Lenovo hardware diagnostics from the system boot menu? (IIRC you need to press F12 or something to get the menu and then choose the diagnostics mode).

merthyr1831,

I ran the diagnostics and they all came up clean, which I mentioned to Lenovo (who were pretty chill with getting the mobo replaced).

It seems to happen more when the graphics are clocked lower, or transitioning from high power state to lower power states. That being said, I’ve so far had it work pretty good on KDE-Neon on Wayland. Haven’t test X11 yet tho.

I had the same issue (on Pop!_OS), and I fixed it by tweaking the boot options to change IOMMU settings for my GPU.

I would try testing without the splash option, as that will change when/how GPU drivers are loaded and it might fix the glitches issue (but might still cause other issues).

merthyr1831,

I’ll give that a go next time I check out Pop!OS :) Thanks!

At least for now, KDE-Neon is running pretty stable. I’ll give a few 3D apps a go and get back to this thread if its good.

nullPointer, in Which terminal emulator do you use?

eterm because I’m old skool. now get off my lawn.

leanleft, in are wayland and pipewire building off of weaker systems
@leanleft@lemmy.ml avatar

linux is old too. we should reinvent it.

Auli,

The thing is Linux continuously gets things added and sometimes dropped. And the coding they was done in X would never be allowed in the Linux kernel.

This sounds like a privacy concern. Maybe one of the privacy communities will have a better answer.

You’re worried that the bios will ping hp and hand over info, is this something that you have info on?

Vilian, in [Help] Audio devices disappear after reboot (EndeavourOS, Pipewire)

do you have pipewire installed?

Yeah, I included that in the title, should have restated it in the body though!

Aurix, in [not solved] I think I messed something up in the router settings but cannot understand what... now I have no internet connection

Go to the outer status page. The router should display whether it has an internet connection to your provider. If no, then your router/modem has no credentials or another issue preventing access.

If it shows as working, then you can narrow it down to incorrect DNS and IP routing. Perhaps dynamic IP allocation is set to off or another configuration error or bug, in which case you might need to reset all the router settings. Then, is it only broken for a single end device?

tubbadu,

thanks for the reply! Sorry it isn’t very clear from the post, but yes only one device (debianserver) has this problem (no internet connection, but yes local network connection), all other devices works as before. I’ll update the original post to clarify this

Petter1, in [not solved] I think I messed something up in the router settings but cannot understand what... now I have no internet connection

Is there a reset button somewhere on the router? Most of them have something like this in order to reset them to factory settings. If not, google for your device name and factory reset, maybe it’s something like „press button while turning on“ etc. I’d try something like that

tubbadu,

Yes there is in the web UI a factory reset button, but I’d rather not do this because it has some settings by other people

olafurp, in Which terminal emulator do you use?

I use 3. I never use anything integrated into an IDE for some reason, never started and probably never will.

  • Yakuake as drop down terminal 90%
  • Black box for nice looking full screen terminal for full screen.
  • Dolphin with emulator on bottom for niche things

If I could only have one for the rest of my life I’d be torn between Yakuake and Konsole. I love Konsole though, used it for years and is all round great for sticking with the DE aesthetics and integrating with themes.

A good reason to dual boot

Gingernate,

Or use flatpak or .deb

woelkchen,
@woelkchen@lemmy.world avatar

Why dual boot with Fedora when you can just use it exclusively?

Gingernate,

You spelled openSuse wrong.

I use fedora BTW lol

openSUSE

OsrsNeedsF2P,

“snaps are slow and buggy! I’m gonna use Windowzzz!!”

Coelacanthus, in Which terminal emulator do you use?
@Coelacanthus@lemmy.kde.social avatar

Konsole, because I can use it in editor(Kate), file manager(Dolphin), IDE(KDevelop), standalone window and Quake style window.

ILikeBoobies, in Fedora, Arch, or EndeavourOS?

Once Arch is set up you have Endeavour

I really don’t see a reason to use Arch over it outside of the initial learning experience and bragging on the internet
