  • This is a unique experiment in the Fediverse.

  • Its a lemmy alternative written in Flask (Python). Piefed has got more moderation features and is probably faster to develop being written in Python. Both lemmy and piefed can talk to Mastodon (and obv to each other too).

  • Will this Lenovo Thinkpad (AMD) work well with linux, or should I go intel?

    Jump

  • AMD and Intel both have very good linux support. On that note there shouldn't be much of a difference.

    In fact, AMD GPU drivers are quite a bit ahead of Intel on Linux. And the AMD laptop has a significantly more powerful iGPU plus it has DDR5 ram. So it should give you noticeably better performance.

    More problematic could be the wifi chip, fingerprint reader and maybe the camera.

    Wifi nowadays works well on Linux so I don't think that should be much of a problem. Intel Wifi usually has better support though.

    Cameras also mostly work though the IR sensor might not work.

    Fingerprint support on linux is 50/50 (from linux-hardware, it seems fingerprint on similar models is not working unfortunately). If you know the exact fingerprint reader model on the laptop you can check if it has linux support.

    Thinkpads usually have good support on Linux overall so I won't be too worried with either option. I couldn't find the exact models on linux-hardware.org, however I did find similar models:

    All AMD models by this name (E14 Gen 6)

    All Intel models by this name (E14 Gen 5)

  • Intel pretty mutch only thinks about Winows

    Where did you get that from? Intel officially supports their drivers on linux and has many engineers working on support for their products in the kernel and mesa.

  • Let Linus see through the Rust inclusion in Linux. I dont think it will go well without him. He is well respected in the Linux community so people are more willing to compromise with him.

  • PeaZip 10.3 Archive Manager Improves Integration with GNOME and KDE Plasma

    Jump

  • Not Sunshine but I personally use Ark. PeaZip has a lot more features (its like WinRAR but FOSS) but I don't need them and so I use Ark which is more focused. I still keep PeaZip around in case I ever need it.

  • Android rooting tools? (Solved)

    Jump

  • You can disable apps using adb.

    I personally use AppManager (FOSS). In the settings, change the working mode to Wireless ADB. The app should give you the instructions but you can also ask here. Then from the app list you should be able to disable any app you want. The app even tells you which apps are bloatware.

    But if you want, you can use adb on Linux too. Download adb and then from terminal run the commands as explained here: https://www.xda-developers.com/disable-system-app-bloatware-android/

  • Multi-Gen LRU is a game changer on my low memory netbook

    Jump

  • Yes, but maybe debian enables it by default? You can check by running cat /sys/kernel/mm/lru_gen/enabled

    If the result is 0x0007, it means MGLRU is fully enabled.

  • System76 Releases COSMIC Alpha 6 Desktop Environment

    Jump

  • Its written in Rust, is a completely new code base so not held back by tech debt, and is a clean DE while still being fairly customizable even now.

    I personally don't care why system76 felt the need to code a new DE from scratch, Im just glad they did it. It has given us a whole new ecosystem of GUI toolkits, apps, etc. for linux written in Rust.

  • [SOLVED] Where to store MangoHud.conf on immutable distro (Bazzite)

    Jump

  • You are supposed to use /var/home/user instead of /home/user in your paths, scripts, etc (or /var/$HOME). Im not certain on the why but iirc its because on immutable systems only /var is writable so anything writable has to be under it.

  • Id say just recommend Photon. It works well on both mobile and desktop. I love voyager but two very different uis is going to confuse new users.

  • Is there a way to fund linux kernel development as a community?

    Jump

  • One way is to donate to devs who are working on some specific features in the Linux kernel. The two I remember are Hector Martin who lead the Asahi Linux project and Kent Overstreet who is the main dev behind bcachefs, a new CoW FS.

    But I guess this only works if there is some dev already working on a feature and is accepting donations. I wish we had community linux project or something similar which was funded by donations and hired kernel devs to work on things the community voted on.

  • A bash script to replace icons in Linux

    Jump

  • Distros ship with icons and themes system wide because apps running as root only load icons/themes that are installed system wide (you can check this by running an app as sudo).

  • CachyOs vs PopOs vs others?

    Jump

  • Yeah the docs are a bit misleading but they are mostly for complete linux newbies. Its basically saying that to scare away any newbies from relying on ntfs because ntfs on linux has quite a few issues (in general, not exclusive to Bazzite) and might break unexpectedly since it is reverse-engineered so it is not perfect.

  • CachyOs vs PopOs vs others?

    Jump

  • Bazzite does support NTFS. I use Bazzite on one of my devices with ntfs partitions and I haven't had any problems so far. Unless you mean installing Bazzite on the ntfs partition which yeah I guess it doesn't but Im not sure if any other disro has support for it.

    But fair enough, immutable distros have a read-only system so making certain changes might be difficult and the usual commands might not apply. They are not impossible though, just require different commands since you have to layer those changes on top of the system. I have been able to make pretty much any changes to my Bazzite system that I would do on an ordinary distro.

    Bazzite also has a really nice community that will help you with any issues and you can also ask for help in Fedora Silverblue/Kionite communities since Bazzite is just an image of Fedora (Kionite).

  • Bazzite does support ntfs. I have ntfs partitions on my system and they work perfectly fine in Bazzite.
