People was using Weston with Intel Laptops as it used less power many years ago. Samsung was using Fedora+Wayland for Watches and TV’s i was thinking Arch or Fedora for a new AMD laptop?

BSPWM, laptop has 1920x1080 resolution, external screen has 1680x1050. xrandr --output DP-1 1680x1050 cuts image, if I change resolution to 1920x1080, I get “full” image, but quality is just bad.

So I am trying out fedora silverblue and recently rebased it to uBlue to get access to hardware decoding for non-free codecs and for some QoL improvements. Before rebasing, I used to get both system updates(update to image that silverblue is based on) and flatpak updates through the gui package manager(gnome-software in this...

[SOLVED] This seemed to have not worked before but on a closer look xfce package xfce4-netload-plugin 1.4.0 works well. This was pre-installed into MX Linux and does the job. None of you seem to be using xfce, any reasons?...

When using software and the codecs from the packman repo, what are the best practices associated with the updating and maintaince of these packages and the system in general.

So now I’m wondering how many great patches and forks I’m missing...

Hello Everyone,...

First off, sorry if this isn’t quite the right community, I did try posting on !pop_os but didn’t get a solution. You can see that post here...

I am using a somewhat minimal installation of Arch-Linux on Nvidia-Hyprland. I am using the base install of Discord and I have PipeWire installed with Easy Effects running, along with some EQ settings for my BeyerDynamics DT 770 80ohm headphones. Every time I join a call in Discord, all the sounds are crackling until I leave. I...

Does anyone know where to find some good measurements of performance differences between common distros (with like hardware and config)....

So, I’ve installed Manjaro quite while ago, and I let secure boot disabled during installation. Dang! Is there a way to keep (most of) my system and enable secure boot and LUKS after the fact?
