If you're on NVIDIA or KDE, you may have been thinking that this Wayland thing is just not working. For those of us running Intel on GNOME, it has been a smooth ride for a long time now. So, we just have vastly different experiences.

Not just Lenovo. ThinkPads.

ThinkPads are the de facto Linux laptop.

ThinkPads DO come with Linux preinstalled. They offer Ubuntu and Fedora Linux. They are also certified for RHEL.

Looking for a better HTPC setup

Hey all! I’m planning on redoing my setup on my PC hooked up to my TV. What I have now works, but I want something a little more streamlined. I mainly use it for watching videos on Piped (YouTube frontend) and tv/movies in Jellyfin, but I recently set up Sunshine/Moonlight for game streaming, and my current setup doesn’t...

I have the same Logitech keyboard, but I don't recommend it. The touchpad has no multitouch and scrolls terribly. For what we paid for it, you'd think it would be better than that. Beautiful design and solid feel otherwise though.

The fact that you need a group policy to turn this kind of garbage off is ridiculous.

It just depends on how isolated that part of the kernel is. Unsafe code should be done only in interop, and so it still theoretically has a memory safety benefit over C in that sense.

In terms of how much interop code needs to be written for Rust at this point is another discussion though.

You could decrypt a GPG key-based file to do that.

I can attest that this also helped me as well. Thank you!

power-profiles-daemon is now archived? Dammit, that was a big one for Fedora.

Didn't you see the slave labor clause in there? You're indebted for at least 3 decades when you start a new GPL project.

What is your opinion on GNOME 3 and 4? Why do you like/dislike it?

I made this post because I really like the design of GNOME, and although i’d like customizability, it is mostly enough for my everyday needs. But I want to understand why people may choose other desktop environments…or why you would/would’nt use GNOME.

@staticlifetime@kbin.social avatar

GNOME is opinionated and beautiful. Lots of focus on reasonable design instead of massive amount of customization. It also has a great app ecosystem and documentation. I love it.

Distro suggestions?

Currently running Kali on my laptop as that’s all it was used for. Looking for something more general purpose. Mainly steam for light gaming and being able to install the tools from Kali for stuff like tryhackme. Mostly familiar with Debian, as that’s what Kali is based on, but willing to try something else. Laptop is this...

Fedora is just flat-out king for desktop IMO. It has packages that are new, but not unstable. Lots of Red Hat engineers use it as a daily driver, so fixes come quick, and it has a pretty large user base. It's made for this stuff.

staticlifetime ,
@staticlifetime@kbin.social avatar

No, I mean Red Hat engineers. Despite being a wholly-owned subsidiary of IBM, they are separate orgs. This probably doesn't mean anything to you, because you are mad at Red Hat, but that doesn't mean that the decisions made were done by IBM's executives, and most IBM engineers probably aren't running Fedora Linux.

For all the shit Red Hat has gotten, Fedora Linux is still actually a community base distro.

staticlifetime ,
@staticlifetime@kbin.social avatar

No, this is completely false. There was a proposal to add telemetry. There is nothing planned as of yet. In a community distro, we all get to speak. The discussion is ongoing. Those opposed to doing opt-out telemetry appear to be winning that conversation thus far.

Also, other distros do telemetry already. Debian is one of them.

@staticlifetime@kbin.social avatar

OpenSUSE is not a fork. It's the base.

If you never touch the command line yeah, but how many of us Fedora users don't do that?

staticlifetime ,
@staticlifetime@kbin.social avatar

I used Debian full-time eons ago, but last time I tried in 2019, it was a dog of a desktop OS to me compared to Fedora. It works fine as a server, but it's simply not a great desktop.

This looks phenomenal-looking. That graph widget should be standardized too.

staticlifetime ,
@staticlifetime@kbin.social avatar

I don't know about that. IBM is traditionally stupid, yeah, but they wanted Red Hat for a reason. The CentOS debacle altogether was Red Hat, not IBM, and I don't think they are doing too much day to day operational mandates for stuff like this. I would not be surprised if this was just a Red Hat thing. I know it's easy to blame IBM, but I don't think it's that simple.
