  • Rotate GRUB book screen on a lowcost CHUWI laptop?

    Jump

  • Last time I looked into Chuwi, there was a lively linux wiki/forum somewhere on their website. There may be clues there and maybe an opportunity to ask a question to their engineers (unofficially, of course).

    There's also https://linux-hardware.org/ which might have something.

  • How to Set-Up a Remote Desktop experience on Wayland with wlroots, pipewire, remote file access and everything encrypted with SSH; No root required

    Jump

  • Just mount the 'remote' file system via NFS (or samba, if you must) and play the media on the 'local' machine as if it were a local file. Done. What am I missing?

  • What are my OS options if I wanted to disconnect my TV from the internet, use it's remote via CEC with a Raspberry Pi, and watch Plex, Jellyfin and YouTube (with sponsorblock)?

    Jump

  • I use mythtv (FOSS) and it's fine as a PVR (schedule, record and playback broadcast TV) with a SiliconDust HDHomeRun network-attached tuner. It also has playback for downloaded files but I prefer to use mpv for that. Mine is still connected to the internet and I use firefox/transmission for youtube and other functions.

    No idea about plex or jellyfin.

  • Is there way to capture wayland with ffmpeg?

    Jump

  • Recommend a simple, small cheap laptop < 15" I can chuck in my bag for use in coffee shops!

  • If you're in the US, refurbished thinkpads are probably the best option. Not so much here in Australia (but you mentioned GBP so perhaps you're in UK). Whatever. I bought a refurb Dell Latitude 3120 for AU$229

    Runs voidlinux like it was born to it. It's my travel laptop.

  • Linux distro/setup best at not crashing from sleep/wake?

    Jump

  • It's probably more to do with hardware than distro. That said, using major distros is more likely to win. FWIW I've used fedora and voidlinux on my 3 Dell laptops over the last 12 years with nary a problem. One of them had nvidia but I used nouveau.

  • Curious about performance of nouveau on old laptops with discrete graphics

    Jump

  • voidlinux still has the 390 drivers available. I'm sure others do too:

  • actual boomer here with foot on sway

  • What do you guys think about RHEL 10 adopting RDP instead of VNC or Spice?

    Jump

  • The biggest problem with RDP for me is the lack of a Wayland/sway server. How does the Fedora Sway spin cope with this?

  • Cheapest new device that can run linux?

    Jump

  • True - but don't forget cost of power ($ cost and environment cost). These old brutes consume a lot esp. compared to the SBCs.

  • Cheapest new device that can run linux?

    Jump

  • I have a Luckfox Pico Ultra-W running a 'buildroot' linux with a camera module that I use as a security camera. It cost me about A$33.

    I also have a Luckfox Pico Max running ubuntu simply to run smokeping 24x7 monitoring - about A$30.

    Finally a ESP32 CAM Camera Module With OV2640 camera that can be bought for less that A$15 (not linux but just FYI).

  • venerable jq

    Ha! jq was the bratty kid I yelled at to get off my lawn. Now he's a drinking buddy, but still the youngest!

  • Bored. Give me a good "Living room PC" distro

    Jump

  • Almost anything plus mythtv, firefox, transmission and mpv. Done. I use voidlinux. Best ever.

  • I need to vent about Windows. I want workplaces to use Linux.

    Jump

  • I've been saying this for 30+ years, but no-one wanted to listen.

  • Emacs and XDG sitting on a tree

    Jump

  • Mesa 24.3 released

    Jump

  • Wow! acronym soup. I understand almost none of that.

  • What Linux distro surprised you the most?

    Jump

  • voidlinux: gave me much better battery life - I assume because it starts as a minimal system and one adds only the essentials to do the job - compared to the soup-to-nuts distros that pile everything in so that newbies are acccomodated. Of course, the voidlinux approach needs more linux skills - but it's not that hard and the doco is great.

    Also, I love the back to basics runit init system and runsv service runner (I'm old so I like that stuff) and the ultra fast xbps packaging system.
