False , (edited ) in KDE freezes when going to sleep/suspending

Oh, you too? I disabled it a few days ago because it kept happening and I’d get not video output. Nothing logged.

I have similar specs, RX 5700 XT, AMD 7950x. Also Arch and KDE (though I don’t know the versions offhand but I updated a few days ago).

Kalcifer OP ,

Nothing logged.

I have the exact same issue. I’ve never been able to see any errors in the logs. Essentially just says “going to sleep” then that’s it.

False ,

My suspicion is that a kernel update broke it and that downgrading to LTS (or even an older LTS) kernel would fix it. I didn’t bother to troubleshoot further because I don’t need suspend that badly (desktop).

Kalcifer OP , (edited )

Unfortunately, I am unable to downgrade to LTS. I need the latest kernel version for a my WiFi card (I’ve had a ton of annoying driver issues with this specific card that seem to now be fixed in the latest few kernel updates).

TrivialBetaState , in LINUX Unplugged talks about the RedHat situation

Sorry, I am not a big fan of long podcasts (or even videos). If you can share the final conclusion, it would be great. I am really interested in this story and don’t think that it has been covered bilateraly in the various forums.

CeeBee ,

Basically that they feel everyone has been looking at it the wrong way. They had a Redhat guy on talking about the situation also.

I get what they were saying, but I personally disagree. I think the truth is more in the middle of both sides. But ultimately this (and some previous actions from Redhat) has soured the Redhat brand for me.

TrivialBetaState ,

Thank you very much! I am on the same boat

I don’t think I’ve realised before that terminal word delete is also tab delete in browsers…

bslinux ,

I did that once, probably 20 years ago now. Never again.

ctrl , in Share your favorite Linux Desktop Environment

Although I use sway, I used KDE for a long time and XFCE prior. They’re both phenomenal. I’d love to see XFCE make its way to wayland in the future.

As an aside, I feel like Wayland has a market ripe for the introduction of lightweight DEs. Sure, it has the very lightweight (hyprland, sway, river, dwl) and heavyweight (KDE, Gnome) but nothing between like XFCE, LXDE or MATE

Also a fan of sway! Plenty configurable, and swaymsg+jq bash scripts can go a long way. Hoping we’ll see more development in lightweight DEs as well- Wayland is pretty great, and sway could use with some more features. also nice username :D

That’s lip service to privacy with spyware in reality.

julianh , (edited ) in Wine Begins Preparations For Reorganizing & Cleaning Up Its Direct3D Code

elif, is d3d different from directx? If not isn’t this what DXVK does?

nyan ,

Direct3D is a subset of DirectX, which also includes a bunch of other Windows APIs named Direct[foo] for things like sound. DXVK is a port of WINE’s Direct3D interface to Vulkan (it would previously have used OpenGL, I presume). Since DXVK is a first cut at moving to a new lib, I would bet the internals are an incompletely-documented mess, which presumably is exactly what they mean to clean up.

aka_oscar , in Fedora Workstation 40 Considering To Implement Privacy-Preserving Telemetry

Fedora is looking at using the Endless OS metrics system for the collection of usage metrics.

This previously shared article showcases the details of Endless OS metrics, for those who were wondering.

Users will have the option to disable data upload before any data is sent for the first time […] and will not depend on Google Analytics or any other controversial third-party services.

While its still just a proposal, there is a lot of focus in protecting the privacy of their users. I’m glad they have those considerations in mind, and I hope it stays that way.

I recommend most people to read the devel list thread in order to better form an opinion on the topic.

madeindjs , in GNOME 45 Alpha Is Now Available for Public Testing

It also introduces an improved Epiphany (GNOME Web) web browse

Did you try it guys ? Is it better than FF or Brave ?

DigitalJacobin ,

For me, it’s not really to the point where I would use it as a primary browser, but it’s still pretty damn good. Definitely worth a try.

What did they remove this time?

greybeard ,

Sarcasm: You can no longer see your running applications. But fear not, they plan to give you a menu of running applications in the next release so you can close them if they ever get minimized.

PanaX , in Good dumb TV for my living room media center?

IF you have the space, go for a projector. I got a nice short throw 1080 Benq with a decent 120 inch screen. And wow, it’s incredible. It’s amazing for shows, movies, and games. I paid 800 total for everything. There’s everything from 200 dollar to 5k dollars, depending on what quality you want.

rodneyck , in Switch to Linux phone?
@rodneyck@lemmy.world avatar

You have to find a phone that is compatible with open source Linux Phone OS. Most of the OS websites give a listing of what phone make/model works. FYI, almost all the Google Pixel phones work.

Here are a few I am keeping an eye on when my Pixel 4a/5G stops getting updates from Google…this year. /

LineageOS/ GrapheneOS/ CalyxOS/ e.foundation/

Youtube videos and other websites are good sources on how to install, etc.

Roxxor ,

You're talking about Android (Linux) phones, and not GNU/Linux as stated in the question.

dan ,

LineageOS/ GrapheneOS/ CalyxOS/ e.foundation

Aren’t all of those Android derivatives?

I think Ubuntu Touch, or postmarketOS would be more in line with what OP is asking.

rodneyck ,
@rodneyck@lemmy.world avatar

Yes, they are Android derivities, but Android is basically Linux…runs off a linux kernel. If you want a pure linux system, I think there is a KDE platform for phones and Ubuntu (I think) but you can’t run regular Android Apps, do banking, etc. You are more open source, but limited in certain areas.

This actually seems really cool, will give it a shot
