bitwolf, (edited ) in Do I actually need to do anything to go from GeForce to Radeon?

Just uninstall all the Nvidia stuff and reboot. It’s been great for me so far.

Linux will auto detect the hardware and load the proper modules at boot. I believe initrd does this.

This worked great for Intel -> AMD CPU also. I just removed the Intel microcode packages after I rebooted to save the disk space.

bitwolf, in gamescope through the heroic launcher is WAY better than steam

Playing through games opens great on my desktop but I lose the steam overlay so I just use Wayland proper.

bitwolf, in Linux 6.7 Features Include Bcachefs, Stable Meteor Lake Graphics, NVIDIA GSP & More Next-Gen Hardware - Phoronix

Nice to see Nvidia getting caught up finally. I switched but I have friends I have told to wait on Linux bc they use Nvidia

adam_b,

It’s also nice they still support older cards like 1000 series, don’t know how well these work on Wayland ?

it_a_me, in find, grep, sed, and awk

I’ve gotten tired of weird regex stuff in awk, sed, and grep, so I’ve moved to perl -E for all but the most basic of things.

bizdelnick,

In most cases extended POSIX regexes are enough and looks the same as perl regexes.

I also used perl until I needed to write highly portable scripts that can be run on systems without perl interpreter (e.g. some minimal linux containers). Simple things are also simple to do with grep/sed/awk, more complex things can be done with awk but require a longer code in comparison with perl.

SpaceNoodle,

I’ve dealt with systems that lack sed and awk. Bash builtins and other standard tools like cut and tr take care of … well, everything.

bizdelnick, (edited )

Systems with bash but without standard POSIX utils? I know some without bash (freebsd by default, busybox based distros etc.) and with grep, sed and awk, but not vice versa.

What a share.

Thankksssss you very much Its saved for the comments too

joojmachine, in Metal music with Linux?

It seems like a lot of the folk here could be pretty interested in the revival of the Fedora Audio Creation Special Interest Group, as it could become a real powerhouse when it comes to getting more people involved into music creation with Linux.

There are some DAWs like Ardour and LMMS for linux. The bigger issue is plugins. They are mostly NOT for Linux. There are some but the selection is not big. You can use a VST-bridge like Carla. It worked for me, I could use proprietary windows based VSTs in LMMS on Linux. However, I wanted to go fully FOSS. This is rather difficult. You make it sound like there are a bunch of open source plugins. This was not my experience. Especially not if you are looking for more specific things. If it is like that, shit has changed radically for the best the last two years. I had some coding projects related to music production so I would just try to build whatever I needed. But I dropped these projects unfortunately.

I am very pleasantly surprised so far, but that’s because my expectations were so low that I was shocked that ANY plugins even exist. With the way prices are going when it comes to music software, I expect to start seeing rapid progression in the music FOSS space.

Secret300, in I made it to Linux! What is your must-have FOSS or Free Software for linux?

Komikku is my go to manga reading app and I honestly can’t use anything else now.

Secret300, in Who uses pure GNOME (no extensions)

I use dash to dock but I keep it hidden and make it the same size. It’s just nice to be able to go down to click open apps sometimes. I still rarely use it but it’s nice to have

abadbronc, in find, grep, sed, and awk

I wish I could grep my car keys sometimes.

palordrolap,

Back in the 80s/90s there were keyrings that would play an alarm if they heard a whistle at a particular frequency. You're basically playing Marco Polo with your keys.

I assume they lost popularity because the batteries tended to run out at inopportune times. Batteries are better now. Maybe it's time those things made a comeback.

abadbronc,

I remember those! I think the comeback version is the Tile or AirTag but I’m too old to hear them beep.

Secret300, in NVIDIA Linux Driver Adds Wayland Bug Fixes and Improvements

Night light will finally work! I hope fedora updates to it sooner than later

Secret300, in Sell Me on Linux

For me I just don’t like relying on some company. So if you don’t like getting fucking in the ass by tech giants use Linux

Secret300, in Should I install Linux on my smartphone?

I just bought a OnePlus 6 to test out mobile Linux and it’s not there yet. Firefox it a pain to use and it doesn’t auto rotate either. So far it’s been good to read manga on and… Ye that’s about it. Camera doesn’t work on it and the UI still isn’t the best. I haven’t used KDE’s DE for phones yet but I’ve used phosh and now I’m using gnome mobile and so far gnome mobile is a lot better but still buggy. I’m excited for the future development of it but with how locked down phones are it’s a bleak future

Secret300, in Is there an easy way to set up an email client so you get system notifications in GNOME once you receive an e-mail?

I use Geary and it works well. Just go into settings and allow it to check for notifications when app is closed. It’ll run and the background and I’ll get the notification then just open up thunderbird to actually check it

SpaceNoodle, in find, grep, sed, and awk

I’ve only ever found a use for sed once two decades into my career, and that was to work around a bug due to misuse of BigInt for some hash calculations in a Java component; awk remains unused. Bash builtins cover almost everything for which I find those are typically used.

find and grep see heavy daily use.

palordrolap,

If you're using find all the time, check to see if you have or can have some variant of locate installed. It indexes everything* on the system (* this is configurable) and can be queried with partial pathnames, even with regex, and it's fast.

SpaceNoodle,

I use locate when I don’t know where the files are. Find has finer controls and can differentiate between regular files, links, directories, etc.

bizdelnick,

sed is not for daily use, it is for reusable scripts. For other purposes interactive editors are more convinient.
