Pantherina,

This. Linux Management is a thing and needs to be more implemented. Immutable Distros and more can help here, and should totally be used.

Pantherina,

Zero experience = ignore standard Distributions

Fedora Kinoite from ublue.it

So much stability and reliability, while modern packages. Just using Debian or Mint (Ubuntu LTS with an outdated Desktop and opinionated theming) is not a solution for a good experience, as you need updates.

Btw I broke every other Distro before, so I ended up on Fedora Kinoite

Pantherina, (edited )

Nobara is sooo hyped. It is not a secure Distro. They literally

  • do tons of weird stuff with Apparmor and literally disable SELinux “because its easier to work with” (fedora variants are the only Distros using it, which is such a security advantage!)
  • add tons of packages
  • modify GNOME to make it very strange
  • delay an update for over a month

I recommend to use bazzite.gg if you want Gaming. They do all the Nobara fixes but

  • immutable
  • daily updates
  • SELinux intact
  • various spins for every hardware, including custom Kernels and tweaks
Pantherina,

Some reeeeally weird trends here

  • Mint is more popular than Fedora or the overhyped Nobara?
  • Arch is so popular? Does that include SteamOS??
Pantherina,

Can you compile stuff in parallel using a GPU?

Pantherina,

Aegis Authenticator. Dont trust MS or Google your stuff

Pantherina,

I have no idea what “QR Reading online” means but you may like Decoder from Flathub, a rust QR code scanner using portals, great app.

Pantherina, (edited )

Opposite.

Fedora with KDE is a Pain, and GNOME is simply underpowered a lot.

Installing GrapheneOS or programming a microcontroller just didnt work. I have no idea of udev rules and these things should work better. (Tbh I will try to fix the packages)

Also processes crashing just often freeze my entire everything. No seperation, no ctrl+alt+del task manager which nearly always works. The task manager is a normal app, and it just doesnt start if the desktop is down.

Virt-manager has not enough RAM? Yeah, Plasma crashes and I need a hard reboot. Yay.

Meanwhile Windows sucks, but it works. Also it is better for

  • collaborative normie documents
  • office: easy presentations (again, collaboration), excel: easy graphs with a UI that makes sense
  • arcgis: qgis is better on surface, but all the underground transformation tools are so messed up.

Many things in Uni make me get insane on Linux. Being the only one literally learning another program, while learning a bit of that proprietary license garbage too, is burnout and I will probably fail in the “recognize this button in arcGis and explain how to do x” exam.

Pantherina,

Also knowing about

  • 9/11 (investing in detector manifacturers, fucking shampoo in small bottles)
  • covid (investing in masks, vaccines, tests and test centers)
  • all the wars: weapon industry in Germany
  • Apple, Google, Amazon, …

You could just buy stock and get rich without doing anything. If you made such a company, damn.

I mean investing in that post 9/11 stuff would make you rich, then you lend money to those Covid people and tadaa, Capitalism

Also maybe you could change something in the world, worth more than money.

Pantherina,

Bitcoin, damn… my dad hat a friend mining “a few” on his balcony. He is probably rich right now

Pantherina,

Any Player will not be able to decode some files if they are downloaded in pieces and not even the header data is complete.

How many of you run a Linux phone (Pine64, Librem etc) as your daily driver?

I was going through Pine64’s page again after I found the latest KDE announcement. With that said, I seem to see a lot of issues with firmware on the Pine, whilst the Librem is just plain out of budget for me. Was interested in how many people here run a Linux mobile as a daily driver, and how has your experience been?...

Pantherina,

You can root GrapheneOS, no problem. Its just not as secure anymore and the bootloader cant be locked, banking apps will not work anymore, Android Attestation, Safetynet etc

Pantherina,

Kwin: meta+left, meta+right, meta+screenup

Thats it. For the rest I use a taskbar and buttons

Looking for a good tablet PC distro

I just inherited a handful of Samsung Series 7 Slate PCs that I’d like to rebuild to be as “tablet-like” as possible for a few non-technical friends and family. They power up but arrived with non-functional Windows 7 installs. They’re Intel Core i5s with 4G RAM and 128G SSDs, so they should run pretty well under any...

Pantherina,

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

Pantherina, (edited )

Afaik they use a pretty outdated version of Android (11?). They are the same Devs as Waydroid btw.

So it may be comfortable and made for tablets, but very old, only really essential security updates etc.

Pantherina, (edited )

Maybe ChromiumOS Flex? But its probably not available as install medium (with drivers, DRM, hardware acceleration, …) anywhere.

Also its just for

  • Chrome(-ium) and Webapps, a lot of Google
  • Android Apps (not all)
  • Linux in a Container in a VM. Nice to setup but overkill and then no RAM advantage

Basically GrapheneOS vs. AOSP. AOSP is also very hard to use.

Pantherina,

Note: X11 is nearly entirely dead.

Pantherina,

Fedora Silverblue from ublue.it

Automatic updates, they install Software as Flatpaks, GNOME is good for Tablets.

As the RAM is very low, maybe regular Fedora Workstation though. Or you layer all the Packages as RPMs, which is also totally possible.

Depends entirely on how many things these tablets should do.

  • webbrowser: Brave or Firefox
  • drm video: available in both
  • social media: easy as webapps with chromium/brave
  • youtube: freetube
  • signal, other messengers: flatpak best

In general Flatpak apps are often working better, on Ubuntu and Fedora base for me. Arch may be something different, but no way unless its controlled like on steamOS. Immutable Arch with tested updates would be great.

Pantherina,

Do you know if the intel Xeon GPUs are also not working with Resolve?

Pantherina,

True, M1 and even M2 macs have superb battery life. Fedora Asahi remix will still be pretty hacky though and have more problems. But a lot works now, it has opengl support, a FOSS rust driver for the GPU and more.

Pantherina,

Gaming is not important if you do video editing. Hardware doesnt need to be very powerful if you dont do 4K or something, which tbh is not needed.

I would say look for a Clevo NV41 laptop as they are supported with Coreboot by 3mdeb, Novacustom, System76, Nitrokey etc. But flashing coreboot requires some knowledge and a hardware programmer.

I cant recommend other brands really. Thinkpads are just a name, good Linux support but their support is nonexistent if you dont pay, and the software updates are not long.

You may want AMD graphics, but I have had bad experience with amd mobile CPUs.

You will want to use

  • tlp
  • system76-scheduler (or this power management thing)
  • autocpufreq

Either one of these.

As a Distro I highly recommend ublue.it they are supporting many models with custom setups like Razer etc, but also main (intel, amd, no extras) or nvidia (proprietary drivers).

Especially if you go with an NVIDIA card, which has advantages, I recommend the system76 tool for switching between internal GPU and dedicated one. And I also recommend only ublue’s *-nvidia images, as you can rollback if an update with the drivers breaks something.

Pantherina,

Also have some Coreboot Models!
