That is not the same thing as “snap and apt Firefox are the same”. They just hijacked apt to force snap in.

No? It’s better. HDR just means that there are more color values for each channel. On something like an OLED, that’s more important since the range between white and black is larger in terms of brightness, so to get good color resolution you need more color data.
AntennaPod is better than it has any right to be – on a modern device, it’s super smooth.
This thumbnail hurts to look at.
Isn’t that going to be ruinously expensive to host an instance for? Video is expensive in terms of storage and bandwidth.
Is this installing a local .deb file or installing from a repo? If installing from a repo, the .deb
and the full file path are unnecessary. If you’re installing a downloaded file, use dpkg -i package.deb
not apt.
The barrier for me is that I use a lot of apps which require native messaging for inter-program communication (keepass browser, citation managers talking to Libreoffice, etc.), and the portal hasn’t been implemented yet. Its been stuck in PR comment hell for years. Looks like its getting close, but flatpak-only is a hard no go for me until then.
Even after that, I would worry about doing some Dev work on atomic distros, and I worry about running into other hard barriers in the future.
Alacritty felt too slow and was missing settings I wanted (like mousewheel scroll) due to devs being opinionated. Kitty has been fast and flexible for me.
Thats via fwupd, thinkpads specifically get this because Lenovo officially supports Ubuntu on them. Other lenovo laptops don’t get this!
I have an AMD 5900HS iGPU and a 3070M in my laptop. I’ve had no issues on Mint (with the auto-installed Optimus in the Nvidia Prime applet) or with PopOS. If you want to use passthrough, SR-IOV GPU sharing is not an option for AMD iGPUs IIRC, and I know it doesn’t work for NVIDIA dGPUs, so you’d need to pass the whole dGPU through to the Windows VM to get hardware acceleration.
For Figma, I would say the unofficial Electron wrapper or the online version is likely your best bet in terms of reliability. If it’s just using the browser mechanisms for hwaccel (no funky accessing windows resources behind the scenes) if you run Optimus in the “on-demand” mode the webpage should be able to access the dgpu for hardware acceleration just fine. Optimus is a lot better than it was a few years ago.
By default, when your HDD cannot be mounted as writeable, it mounts as read-only instead. If you used Windows before, the Windows hibernate and fast boot functions can basically “reserve” the partition, causing it to only be writeable as read only. If you have windows still installed, is it possible that it booted into Windows to do an update or you’ve booted into it since? If so, I’d recommend disabling fast boot in Windows.
If there’s no Windows still installed on your system, I would reccomend changing the mount options on the hdd to: nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show,rw,exec
. You can change these directly by editing /etc/fstab
, but I would recommend against editing the fstab table manually – if you edit the wrong entry, it can prevent your system from booting. I’ve not had good luck with the KDE partition manager, but if you install gparted and right click on the partition it should give you options to change the mount options, and you can add the options above there.
FYI, mount options are read left to right by the system, so if you really want rw (read/write) and exec to be true and not overriden by other mount options, put them at the end of the mount option line.
Oh, how the turn tables…
My understanding is the big change here is that they’re specifically making it available to other handheld manufacturers, which is huge, because windows handhelds have not been great because of how much the bloat of Windows steals performance and battery life. They’re making steps to make SteamOS (I.e. Linux in general) the default OS for handhelds and non-console dedicated gaming machines in general.
If it works, it will put tremendous pressure on publishers to support linux, which is great.
Yeah, choosing Arch as the base of something that’s supposed to be newbie-friendly and stable is wild, but it seems to have been working so far.
To be fair, that was in their own financial best interest. Since arbitrations are charged a fee per customer someone figured out that you can do an effective “class action” against valve by having many people submit the same arbitration claim against valve and costing them so much through the arbitration fees that it it was almost impossible for them to cone out on top regardless of the outcome of the arbitration (iirc).
They changed to allowing lawsuits because they can request those to be merged, and therefore its cost-effective for them to fight them.
And you saw how that turned out for them…😂
Do you mean a dedicated gaming flavor of Linux? Because otherwise, isn’t that just a console?
Have you tried configuring the amd-pstate
driver in GRUB? That helped me a fair bit with battery life, though having an ROG laptop also meant I was already using asusd
, which tripled my battery life just by having reasonable fan and power level settings. I hadn’t had any luck with TLP either.
Yeah for sure, I read your comment as excusing canonical screwing with user intent but I see that’s not what you meant.
