  • Bluetooth issues on Bazzite OS

    Jump

  • This is not a fix though. This is some sleep related issue that even I faced in my laptop for the mt7922 wifi card. Ensure that fast boot is disabled in the bios. Also all the kernels since 6.2(I think¿?) have patched this issue so you should not be facing this issue now. I no longer face it.

    Edit : though in my case, it was only WiFi which was not working because the mt7922 kernel module was failing to load at startup. If this issue occurs again, post the output of journalctl so we can see what the exact issue is.

  • Mutter Merges Experimental Variable Refresh Rate For GNOME 46

    Jump

  • Wow. I was not expecting this especially considering that feature freeze was in place for gnome 46.

  • HDMI Forum Rejects Open-Source HDMI 2.1 Driver Support Sought By AMD - Phoronix

    Jump

  • So I see people on the phoronix forums complaining that this is a bad thing because they have TVs which are HDMI only. From what I read, the HDMI 2.1+ spec is only needed to support extreme cases like 4k@120Hz and above. So my question is how many people are there who have a TV old enough to have no display ports but be of that outrageous specification.

    Edit : it seems I am mistaken in thinking that new TVs have display port.

  • Introducing App Brand Colors | Flathub Documentation

  • Flathub does provide

    warning like system.

    I don't think we can filter using these though

  • [kind of solved] Nvidia Wayland Issues

    Jump

  • At today's FESCo meeting, we agreed on the following proposal:

    AGREED: KDE packages which reintroduce support for X11 are allowed in the main Fedora repositories, however they may not be included by default on any release-blocking deliverable (ISO, image, etc.). The KDE SIG should provide a notice before major changes, but is not responsible for ensuring that these packages adapt. Upgrades from F38 and F39 will be automatically migrated to Wayland. (+5, 0, -1)

    For additional clarification: this means that all users performing upgrades MUST be migrated to the Wayland session. They then MAY opt-in to the X11 session by installing a package for that purpose. We are explicitly not providing detailed technical implementation requirements here, but we expect all parties to follow the spirit of this decision when making technical decisions.

  • [kind of solved] Nvidia Wayland Issues

    Jump

  • You don't have to worry. The folks at fedora have decided that the X11 session will remain in fedora 40 so you will be able to use X11 if you still face issues in wayland.

    Edit : I was not clear enough. Want I mean to say is that the kwin-x11 and other required packages will be part of the fedora repo and people can just download them to enable the plasma-X11 session

  • The bottles flatpak is the official release so people not on an arch based system can/should use that

  • Fedora members plan on creating a Cosmic Desktop Spin

    Jump

  • No way pop os will ship with snaps. System76 devs have already said they prefer flatpak

  • Former distrohoppers, where did you settle down?

    Jump

  • Fedora silverblue or rather the ublue image.

    I am not a power user and do casual gaming, document reading and processing, mail checking and video watching so the ublue main image provides the simplicity and stability I need.

  • New GNOME Mutter Code Prepares Fractional Scaling For XWayland

    Jump

  • But the result of those gestures(the overview) is not as useful as the overview in gnome and you have to swipe up to go to the overview and swipe up(not down for some unfanthomnable reason) again to leave the overview. A new gesture system has been added to plasma 6 which looks promising. The dev who made it said he has taken a lot of inspiration from gnome.

  • My Windows 10 install broke, but I'm hesitant to switch to Linux.

    Jump

  • Also if OP is hell bent on testing DEs on hardware, I recommend installing fedora silverblue and rebasing betweens the spins to try out KDE, Gnome, budgie, sway(and a few more provided the universal blue developers). This way you can can safely try out the DEs without the mess of leftover packages and without losing your data.

    Also @Doctor_Rex@lemmy.ml remember to install the nvidia specific images from ublue. They will come the nvidia drivers preinstalled.

  • The flatpak version of steam works on fedora. That is an old issue.

  • My Windows 10 install broke, but I'm hesitant to switch to Linux.

    Jump

  • The flatpak steam issue you pointed to has been long since resolved. I use universal blue's rebase of silverblue and the flatpak install of steam has been working fine. Also since proton is packaged with steam, it does matter which distro you are one. It works when steam does.

  • Occasional diagonal screen tearing?

    Jump

  • Dont. Pop OS uses a older version of gnome which has a lot bugs under wayland. It is why the default is X11 and why the option to enable wayland is 'hidden' behind the command line.

    Instead see if the issue is resolved by turning on ForceFullCompositionPipeline in the nvidia settings

    Edit : The option might also be labelled ForceCompositionPipeline

  • Occasional diagonal screen tearing?

    Jump

  • If you have not fiddled with any display settings from the command line, it is safe to say that you are X11.

  • This week in KDE: Inching closer

    Jump

  • Pop! OS hasn't been updated in a couple years now, making it an absolute relic. As far as I know none of the Pop! OS apps have been either.

    I think you are a bit misinformed on the situation. The core gnome-apps are struck on version 42.5 (which is ancient) but apps like Firefox, libre office, steam, etc. have been getting updates to keep them up to date. They might miss a sub version here or there but these are more or less upto date. The kernel and mesa graphic stack are also relatively up to date (not as modern as arch, fedora or opensuse tw but close enough) while the nvidia drivers are just as modern as on other distros(its their USP after all). Native packages of other 3rd party apps might old but you always have flatpak for those.

    What I am trying to say is that pop os is still recommendable. I was using it until a few months ago when I changed devices leading to some distro hopping after which I have settled on universal blue's rebase of fedora silverblue. It is completely possible that if I had not switched from nvidia to amd, I would still be on pop os.

  • Why It Was Almost Impossible to Make the Blue LED

    Jump

  • Yeah but it only works if the source is moving towards the observer

  • What would you change about your favorite Linux distribution?

    Jump

  • I suggest rebasing to ublue. https://universal-blue.org/images/

    Packages from rpmfusion (codecs, mesa-freeworld) are all added to the base layer of silverblue so shit works ootb
