  • Are AMD laptop discrete gpus good in linux?

    Jump

  • Yeah, hybrid graphics is a blessing. I have an Intel iGPU for Wayland/VA-API and Nvidia offload for Steam and it's great.

  • Explicit sync Wayland protocol has finally been merged!

    Jump

  • Good for you.

  • The appearance and how you use it is a very important part of a browser, also there are things like sync of history/bookmarks/etc. and "send a tab to Firefox on another device" functionality.

  • Opensuse kde plasma 6 upgrade

    Jump

  • Yeah, when I saw the update I canceled, logged out and ran zypper dup from a tty. Rebooted and logged into a Plasma 6/Wayland session. Went swimmingly.

    I think this kind of update is where "atomics"/immutables really shine. Install the update on a new separate snapshot and activate it at boot.

  • VLC Media Player Plans to Add Online Media Streaming

    Jump

  • One doesn't have to use the feature and it's not like it's going to be felt, nor noticeably use any resources when not in use.

  • Advice on switching from Kubuntu to EndeavourOS?

    Jump

  • Read up on .pacsave/.pacnew files, the distro might still work if an update creates these but if you don't diff/integrate them manually your OS might slowly "rot". So watch out for these when running an update. You'll see them less often if you don't change stuff much yourself.

    Consider using BTRFS and test how to rollback, in case you need it.

  • Zorin OS 17.1 Is Released

    Jump

  • Neon is bleeding edge showcase for Plasma, might not be good for beginners.

  • What does your desktop look like?

    Jump

  • Pretty close to default. Using SF Compact Display fonts and Newaita reborn icons. Most of the time I have a bunch of windows open and I rarely see the desktop, except when I start the day :)

  • What are your thoughts on Flatpak/Flathub?

    Jump

  • Yeah, I also had apps like Steam native break once or twice due to library updates (such as Mesa) - the downside to rolling distros. However, the Flatpak version continued to work so now I only use that. I don't use mods though.

    I'm now gravitating towards treating my rolling distro a bit like an immutable; more Flatpaks, avoid user repositories.

  • KDE Plasma 6.0, and KDE Gear 24.02 released

    Jump

  • Yeah, I was amazed when I started gaming on Linux. The desktop and VA-API uses Intel iGPU and Steam games use the Nvidia GPU through offload, I never have to do anything. It works even better than it did on Windows.

  • KDE Plasma 6.0, and KDE Gear 24.02 released

    Jump

  • Resistance is futile!

  • My experience using Fedora Atomic (Budgie) for a month or two.

  • I don’t want to manage 20 different instances of VS Code.

    The way I do it is all my development in one or two distroboxes, other stuff in another. So I don't end up having 20 but just a few. Nothing really to manage.
