mryessir,

Modularity of software ranked way too low.

mryessir,

Pff. I once saw some crack-y woman using the entire shelf of makeup in the store.

mryessir,

Man. I bought Lenovo ARM. I wanted to buy a tuxedo so badly. Now I’m stuck with this thinkpad.

mryessir,

It is bearable but feature complete. Every month linaro and the community add functionality. The most recent things include a custom power-domain mapper implementation and apparently camera support.

If you are running wayland you can simply install any os and its working oob.

The laptops weight and heat production is awesome. Very practical. Also the body is exceptional sturdy and worth mentioning (even in comparsion to a T14, e.g.).

But:

  • external monitors are not detected at boot
  • no hibernation
  • battery time is very depended on the task. It ranges from 4 to 13 hours.
  • no virtualization support, so one is stuck with tiny code generator runtime when using kvm
  • audio is pretty quiet, so depending on the environment an external source is required.

I followed almost all patches on the lkml. It appears to me that the upcoming chip can benefit from the sc8280xp hugely. It sufficies for my use cases but I promised myself a little better, yet.

mryessir,

The french people are very proud of their culture and free spirit, so even hard opinions are articulated freely.

Additionally it appears they struggle with problems in the suburbs (banlieue); The public opinion in europe shifts to blame uncontrolled immigration it appears to me.

Smallest Security/Privacy Focused Distro Help?

I’ve been doing some scouring and my search results are coming back confusing. Usually either incomplete information, or some kind of sales spam, so I’m reaching out in the hopes of recommendations for actual linux users and fans. I am looking for a very small, tiny even, security/privacy focused distro. I don’t mind doing...

mryessir,

You can use LFS to… Install targeted-kernel Setup AUR/pacman as package manager Use a minimal DE if needed. Otherwise just use the x.org kiosk to start your applications without any de.

mryessir,

This should get their slogan. Any linux should have this slogan :) Have fun on your endeavors!!

mryessir,

I think he’s coming from here:

As an developer you create a solution to a problem from yours. You release it under a FOSS license.

Your job is done - You shared your work. The community may find your project useful and builds upon it. Their interest is to get their changes upstream. You have no obligation to help with onboarding and implementing features for others.

So if they are requesting a merge you may reject it since it does not meet your standards. Maybe you have to make your stance clear and create a CONTRIBUTION alongside your code.

With this mindset you wouldn’t hang out on a non-indexable platform.

Your project mostlikely is requesting explicit participation. Maybe this is the point in between you guys.

Now go on with the discussion :)

mryessir,

Especially on servers I make sure to attend in the software packages survey. Just so that the holy-gods and kings of maintainers are aware of me, the peasant running old packages.

No yield saya. I’m sorry.

mryessir,

In some districts immigration rate is at 60%.

One has to experience certain interactions and opinions on the streets. I know we need migration and there has been plenty of people perfectly assimilating but we are struggling with the integration part currently.

I sincerly think most of the issues I observe are due to German/European Rap Music which is nowadays mainstream and way out of line. Teenagers across the board adapt arabic phrases from said music and butchering the language. Let alone adapt the text literally.

Teachers and people working at the kindergarten I know of describe the migration rate at almost 90%. And the majority of parents do not show willingness to educate+integrate, they say. But I don’t know of any numbers!!

mryessir, (edited )

I see where you came from.

There are people submitting code with wrong licenses or no attribution. There are people just submitting for the sake of submitting - I dare github profiles for this. There are people who could need some feedback on their code, so that future contributions have better quality.

And it can be very burdensome for a maintainer, assuming he maintains within its free time, to perfectly communicate and elaborate on each contribution.

Also, maybe the project has a feature freeze because in the aimed architecture the same solution would be implemented externally.

Its just not that simple and people generalizing or concluding too fast are mostlikely in the wrong. Bad PR travles faster and further though.

mryessir,

He explicitly told you to get lost or something, dude!

mryessir,

I disagree naming Flatpak etc. as the reason for more adoption. New users I know of do not know how to search for software and software alternatives in the first place.

Documentation and engagement on linux just improves by each day. Experiences are shared and people may just be curious. Then there are news about linux breakthroughs by big players like valve.

Imo a beginner linux distro should prompt on install:

If you are a potential linux adaptor do not get discouraged. You may have spent your entire life building knowledge for an other operating system. Once you grok the aimed simplicity of UNIX and which parts are involved in your daily tasks you will be at least as efficient as with other operating systems. The most inportant thing: Have fun on your journey and engage in our chats, forums and/or in social media.

Thank you for your attention.

What're some of the dumbest things you've done to yourself in Linux?

I’m working on a some materials for a class wherein I’ll be teaching some young, wide-eyed Windows nerds about Linux and we’re including a section we’re calling “foot guns”. Basically it’s ways you might shoot yourself in the foot while meddling with your newfound Linux powers....

mryessir,

:!w /etc/fstab first!

mryessir,

Shortly after future trunks realizes his time machine is already here.

mryessir,

Thing is there are german manufactures.

mryessir,

You orc?

mryessir,

Wer ist dieser Junge?

mryessir,

Congratulations to all involved!

mryessir,

Instead of a install skript, check out GNU stow. It does exactly that and you can interqctively choose which things to install/symlink.

mryessir,

The gpu is fully supported to my knowledge.

mryessir,

KDE Plasma 6.0, and KDE Gear 24.02 released (kde.org)

Today the KDE Community is announcing a new najor release of Plasma 6.0, and Gear 24.02. KDE Plasma is a modern, feature-rich desktop environment for Linux-based operating systems. Known for its sleek design, customizable interface, and extensive set of applications, it is also open source, devoid of ads, and makes protecting...

mryessir,

Congratulation to the KDE team! Well done!!

mryessir,

Where the ß at??

mryessir,

Velux just gone through the roof!

mryessir,

Got this one. I like it but support is really rough. Not officially supported but they are helping somewhat the motivated guys getting it upstream. Was advertised with 28 hour battery life as well. You can get 12 hours in linux, less in windows.

Peformancewise it is flawless. The weight is awesome. Very comfy on the lap. But its almost two years and very much is missing.

If the new generation doesn’t have official linux compatibility I would not recommend buying it on release.

mryessir,

Sorry to hear! I really want to say it again: The manhfacture has to support linux officially. Otherwise there are things not mentioned in the documentation and the maintainers are working nonstop across multiple repositories to make it work.

Thinks of the top on my head not listed in the wikis:

  • 6 or 8 cores with 100% CPU load drains the battery more then it can load (for now?)
  • no sound via HDMI/display port
  • doesn’t detect external monitor when booting. Forcing one to replug.

These issues are somewhat mentioned. So I do not want to nitpick. Instead contributed some solutions/hints for things I was able to infer. So please don’t hate me. I’m new.

mryessir,

Exactly this.

I hibernated one of my laptops and someone else opened it and just got back into my session.

I would be glad if i could use the multi.user-target for this because I experienced different issues with login managers like LightDM, GDM and SDDM and started to mistrust such.

mryessir,

Distro hoppers - most likely - try different desktops (wm, compositor, tools). You may already know that you can easily switch you desktop within a few seconds. One tipp though: Don’t use your main user logging in on a new desktop (to keep your /home clean)!
