Did I just solve the packaging problem? (please feel free to tell me why I'm wrong)

You know what I just realised? These "universal formats" were created to make it easier for developers to package software for Linux, and there just so happens to be this thing called the Open Build Service by OpenSUSE, which allows you to package for Debian and Ubuntu (deb), Fedora and RHEL (rpm) and SUSE and OpenSUSE (also...

distrohopping till success it not a solution...

"Thanks to @Thorondir, I was able to resolve my crashing issues that began with 1.0: "Since 1.0 I couldn't start the game anymore. Turns out it's a kernel bug! See https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/3343

Enable 'Decoding Above 4G' and 'resize BAR' in BIOS."

Fredol ,

you'd be better using debian than popos

Fredol OP ,

I agree, but I think something is already in the works, I'll check and probably make something practical to sync the two. It's not really a new app that's needed but a feature integrated into freetube/newpipe

Fredol OP ,

Would you take iced/cosmic or tauri? Or it really has to be a GTK4?

Fredol OP ,

Sounds good, I'll consider it heavily as audio/gtk4 would be interesting

Fredol OP ,

doesn't that exist already? I could swear I saw at least 2 on flathub

Fredol OP ,

It used to be tauri, but due to a bug in tauri that lasted more than a year, I had to switch to electron. I've been thinking of switching back, but I've got other priorities

Fredol OP ,

Could be a decent idea

Fredol OP ,

There's LocalSend that already exists

Fredol OP ,

doesn't powertop already do this?

Fredol OP ,

Snapshots are a lot more flexible. You can make any modifications to your system without issue. Layering packages on image based distros is slow and annoying, to the point UBlue OS was born out of that annoyance.

Speed of package managers did matter in my original search, because my workflow was to open my pc, update everything, reboot, start working. But with Kalpa snapshots, my updates are started in the background then silently and promptly applied on next reboot, I don't even have to think about it.

Fredol OP ,

Ublue is indeed fantastic tech, I don't deny that. For my own purposes, I would have to spend too much time curating my own custom OS if I used it, so I prefer Kalpa.

What am I doing wrong (OpenSuse)?

I've been trying Tumbleweed for my gaming needs and so far it seems to be working relatively well. My issue is about removed packages. When I first installed TW, I removed quite a few packages I did not want (KSudoku, LibreOffice, and a few others). It has been a little since I've turned on my PC but yesterday I noticed that...

Fredol ,

This is the most annoying thing about TW. You gotta do "zypper dup --no-recommends"

Fredol ,

You are lost, you use ventoy on a seperate usb. Then you can install whatever distro on your portable ssd. You can install multiple as long as your partition things well. It's not that difficult. You could have asked here instead of going on a rollercoaster of weird self-imposed problems.

    Fredol ,

    Did you really judge the current state of linux by using a 2 year old distro?

    Fredol ,

    Google is filled with blogspam nowadays. You should try any distro that has been released recently or rolling. I would recommend OpenSuse Tumbleweed, it's quite easy to use. Try KDE while you're at it.

    Fredol ,

    I use a very very minimal OpenSuse Tumbleweed KDE but I start the DE manually; startplasma-wayland or startx

    Fredol ,

    I've been trying for a while, looking up other manifests helped me but I'm still lost on a few things. Maybe we could help each other. I am the creator of open-tv.

    Fredol ,

    try a ublue os image

    Fredol ,

    OpenSuse Tumbleweed if you want rolling

    Debian if you want stable

    Fredol ,

    Rescuezilla is much better

    Fredol OP ,

    I really like booting to a terminal and only starting X if I need it, that's why I do it.

    Fredol OP ,

    Thanks! I'll look into this

    Fredol ,

    Having Cosmic on Tumbleweed would be super awesome too

    Fredol ,

    I've been looking for something like a this for a while. Thanks!

    Fredol ,

    Great docs, thanks!

    Fredol ,

    The flash drive will go full speed for a minute or a bit more and fall down to slow speeds while an NVME with a good enclosure that has a properly fitted heatsink can maintain much higher speeds indefinitely We're talking 200 MB/s at most for a minute then about 50mb/s VS 800 MB/s the whole time

    I tried, I really did

    I've been an IT professional for 20 years now, but I've mainly dealt with Windows. I've worked with Linux servers through out the years, but never had Linux as a daily driver. And I decided it was time to change. I only had 2 requirements. One, I need to be able to use my Nvidia 3080 ti for local LLM and I need to be able to RDP...

    Fredol ,

    Multiple mistakes:

    1. You went with a very old distro, Ubuntu 22.04 is almost 2 years old. You could pick a non-lts ubuntu instead. Thankfully you ended up picking Fedora.

    2. A single google search could've given you better alternatives to FreeRDP like Remmina. You can always ask people stuff like this on Lemmy or elsewhere ("what's the best rdp client on linux?") rather than waiting till you run out of patience.

    3. You shouldn't need to compile software by yourself, you can use flatpak to install newer versions of software and flathub even has a beta repo you can add for even newer software.

    It's not against you, we all learn from mistakes. Just try to be more social about your linux journey if you don't want to struggle

    Tldr: you made the classic mistake of going head first into this without a friend to help you or at least documenting yourself properly on the current state of Linux desktops through various medias like Youtube. It doesn't help that you suffered from the ol' "I'm a windows expert so this should be similar/easy and if it fails it's not my fault"

    Fredol OP ,

    I actually wanted to add a template command to fetch some templates, I'm not sure if there's a good source though.

    Fredol OP ,

    It can be done, but the goal of this app was to reproduce the classic top caption memes in a single command. I might add more features like the one you're talking about.

    Fredol OP ,

    I actually ended up adding it today

    more packages; open suse tumbleweed

    AMD GPUs are cursed for me

    Each time I try AMD graphics, something is fucked for me. Back with fglrx, fglrx just sucked, so I used Nvidia. Then I had an AMD right around when they finally had opensource drivers, but it was still buggy as hell. So I went with Nvidia again (first a GTX 790, then a GTX 1060). In the meantime I had a new work notebook where I...

    Fredol ,

    the most bug-free gpu experience I have with Linux is Nvidia GPU + KDE X11 with compositor disabled. Pure bliss. I've had a 6700XT and it was terrible too, now I have a 4070. For my laptops, intel igpu works decently well with wayland KDE, but there are few bugs, like having to clear some apps gpucache (vscode) quite often

    Fredol ,

    I prefer without for the aesthetics but also for functionality: compositing x11 with multi monitors of different refresh rates is still broken, everything becomes locked at 60hz instead of the max for each monitor.

    Fredol ,

    one of us should make an android phone company that makes a phone with an open source default rom, unlockable/relockable bootloader, headphone jack with a proper DAC, ir blaster, no notch or punchholes (like the note9), latest spec of USB for the port and latest Snapdragon chip

    Fredol ,

    Dell XPS or Latitude or Precision, ThinkPad P or X, Framework, LG Gram, System76 and other linux-focused manufacturers, Asus Vivobook

    Fredol ,

    Wayland didn’t break everything, but Nvidia 545 certainly did

    Fredol ,

    Gnome devs will never listen to criticism. Even if you do a MR it might get denied because it contraricts with the “Gnome way”. Just use KDE and live an happy life. KDE can be easily modified to look like Gnome and have all the QOLs you need.

    Fredol ,

    Why is there a logo change at all? The current logo is perfectly fine. Personally I voted for the least worst of them, triangles

    Fredol ,

    That’s good news, I much prefer the current logo

    Fredol ,

    It’s a bit unbelievable that someone who frequents foss communities would also pay a monthly subcription for an app…

    Fredol ,

    I’m sorry to say this but, your way of picking software is wrong. You should always look for the open source software first, then use proprietary software.

    I wouldn’t be critical of someone for using Photoshop and Premiere because there’s no viable alternative for professionals in this area. But using Plex when Jellyfin exists is just wrong. I personally have a jellyfin instance, and there’s nothing jellyfin can’t do when compared to Plex.

    Encouraging proprietary software makes them stronger and erodes our rights. Like using chrome instead of Firefox is voting for a future where remote device attestation and forced DRM is a normal thing. Do you want the corps to eradicate your free will?
