lal309, in Can't connect to some specific wifis

I also had weird problems connecting to wireless before, turns out the wireless on my machine could only connect to 2.4 ghz wireless but the routers I couldn’t connect to were 5 ghz. Just something else to check. Quite possibly due to the card being too old.

ISOmorph, in Looking for a good tablet PC distro

Take a look at my post from several months ago: feddit.de/post/1892175

In the end I went with fydeOS since the touch experience with both Gnome and KDE was too lacking out of the box.

Pantherina,

What version of Android is FydeOS using, how frequent do they do Updates? Does it use Secureboot, etc?

grimaferve, (edited ) in Linux Distros Evolution - January 2024 Update: Pop!_OS in Decline?

Makes sense to me. I'm a Pop! user since 22.04 and the wait is painful, although the blog posts definitely help a bit. Currently I have no problems but if something breaks I'll try out Nobara I guess. My /home is already partitioned so I can make that hop with minimal loss.

Also switched distros from pop. I’ve had more success with Ultramarine than with Nobara on my nvidia-powered laptop. Check it out if Nobara gives you problems.

grimaferve,

I'm running full AMD on a desktop, I don't foresee any problems here. Hopefully your advice helps someone though!

CraigeryTheKid, (edited ) in Linux Distros Evolution - January 2024 Update: Pop!_OS in Decline?

PopOS is what got me into Linux, and the only one that worked “out of the the box” for the handful of things I wanted, esp remote desktop.

Yes, anecdotal, but I’m running 3 PCs on Pop and loving it.

Edit: reading the article, and graph, it also looks like the field is more crowded in general. Also, would be good to see total installs over time, not just %.

lemmyvore, (edited ) in A tool to filter and reorganise iCalendar (ICS) files?

I think it should be fairly trivial to do with Python and a calendar library, you’d just have to go through the input entries, keep the ones with the properties you like and dump those to the output.

I’m not well versed in Python either but I had a specific calendar problem once — had to clear a calendar storage that went back years and the provider’s UI didn’t let you delete the base calendar — and after looking it up it was a few lines of Python.

That’s probably why you don’t find established tools because every person who runs into this stuff has a super specific need.

Thanks! I found something interesting, a function named icalfilter from the ical2html package in Debian/Ubuntu. Very easy to use to filter by categories. Unfortunately, this same package does not exist for openSUSE, but worse case scenario, I can use my Debian server to work on those ICS files.

kanzalibrary, in Booting up Libreboot T440p laptop with Windows 10 (No NVIDIA GPU Requried)

I’m really curious from this, is there any perfomance impact if we change to Libreboot? if so (boost windows performance at least up to 10%) then I’ll take it for my audio plugins set live. Really cool to see T440p Libreboot-ing here!

Zeon, (edited )

Not that I’ve tested, but the peformance gain would probably be slim. Overall, its running pretty smooth on my setup.

aBundleOfFerrets,

Modern OS pretty much takes completely over after the preboot is done. There will be very negligible difference in the os unless the old firmware was poorly configured (fairly common, admittedly)

zingo, (edited ) in What's your favorite music player on Linux?

I have to say Supersonic.

It’s a Subsonic player that integrate with my Airsonic instance in Docker.

It requires a backend like Airsonic, Navidrome etc. It’s not a stand alone player.

Armando3996, (edited ) in What's your favorite music player on Linux?

Spotify-wayland on hyprland. And I also definetly dont have SpotX-bash, a great spotify adblocker installed!

@kingmongoose7877@lemmy.ml avatar

Ahh…I get it…I saw the title and thought it was about IBM’s OS/2 in an “out of the box,” uncustomized state, hence “Vanilla OS 2” code-named Orchid…oh, never mind already.

Sims, in What are your opinions of Guix?

I absolutely love it, and I’m never going back to an ordinary distribution again. I do fine regarding software. I use standard channels, non-free channel, flatpaks and a few appimages. I can’t think of anything i’m missing atmo…

i do not see the hype for immutable distros, they seem to be for an incredibly niche sub-section of the linux desktop which is already incredibly niche (i’ll probably be answering my own question). good for the devs for trying new things i guess but these seem like hell to use if you are a tinkerer, gnome is whack and won’t convince any new users to use linux. it seems like an operating system i’d install for my tech illiterate parents so i won’t have to troubleshoot anything if it had a desktop like cinnamon or kde because they would have some familliarity with a windows like ui.

Vincent,

Why would “people who don’t want to have to troubleshoot anything” be a niche? I love it exactly because it’s mostly the same as what I used to have, except that I don’t have to worry about updates breaking as much.
