Updates taking that much space is a bit surprising. I used to run linux mint on a 20 gb partition and usually had 3-4 gb space free. Does Linux mint comes pre-installed with flatpaks (you check with flatpak list)?

But 20 gb is on the very low side, you will run into issues on updates. You probably need to extend the linux partition by at least 10 gb.

For the printer issue, check the status of the cups service (sudo systemctl status cups).

The old one was too confusing for new users. It wasn’t clearly step by step like all the other installers on linux.

Thanks! Definitely reading this one now though its kinda long. I had heard about it but didn’t see anyone put it this way before.

Exactly this with me too. If they know me I have to hold myself to different standards and more small talk and stuff like that.

I have been trying to force myself to go to the same places but I usually fail. The only thing that works for me is going with someone else.

How are you supposed to deal with this without just losing all your values and becoming like them?

Are there any books or anything that someone can read on this?

Having a constant noise in your head/ears. It was so normal to me I didnt question it for many years. I randomly asked my friends about it one day and found out most people actually dont have an old crt tv like noise in their ears (and that its the disorder tinnitus).

In my case its not very severe thankfully, I dont notice it unless Im in a silent room or Im actively thinking about it.

you should also post it as an issue on the peertube repo: https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube

Currently most cooperate linux companies are not in the business of selling linux desktop itself. Rather its linux for servers, administration, embedded things (like cars), and other enterprisey stuff. So at least at the moment they are not looking to profit of linux desktop users directly which has saved us from enshittiffication attempts.

But even if they in the future attempt to do something fishy, that most users dont agree with, I think by the virtue of how stuff works on linux it will be very easy for people to move to something else or a fork, and still get 95-99% of the same experience. This in turn will force companies to think twice before doing something like this.

A good example here is canonical/Ubuntu who has made questionable decisions in the past and each time they had to take it back. Even now, Snap due to its use of a centralized store is almost universally shunned by the linux community and is only supported maintained by canonical. While Flatpak is supported by the wider linux community with people from different projects contributing to it (though I sometimes worry about everyone centralizing on Flathub to the point where they are actively discourage other projects from launching/maintaining their own stores/repos).

This is why we need to build and champion tech that is resistant to control and enshittiffication. Then we dont have to worry too much about who is developing it.

Impressive work, thanks!

Are there plans to apply for it again? Gnome got a lot of mileage from it, would be really nice if they applied again.

And what happened to Sonny Piers? Did more info come out about why he got suddenly expelled from the foundation? It looked like he was doing a really good job with STF and I haven’t heard anything bad about him all this time.

KWin has gained support for the initial version of the Wayland session restore protocol

I found it interesting that they were merging support for a not-yet-merged protocol so I looked it up.

It seems the plan is to use the new experimental protocol thing that was introduced a while back:

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/merge_requests/392

which gen is your igpu? Older intel igpus need libva-intel-driver pkg installed (on Arch, not sure whats the Fedora equivalent) and the env variable LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME set to i965.

See also https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Hardware_video_acceleration#VA-API_drivers.

thanks!

also for easy copying: identity.fxaccounts.toolbar.pxi

check out this app, its still under dev tho: https://codeberg.org/lucaweiss/lpa-gtk

I think x86 is basically the only platform that’s used ACPI

ARM and x86. From wikipedia:

Revision 5.0 of the ACPI specification was released in December 2011,[15] which added the ARM architecture support.

ETA: Sorry I was wrong. ACPI doesnt solve this*. Arm SystemReady SR/ES does and its why Ampere cpus can boot on linux on release without too much work.

Sadly its currently only used for iot/server stuff but hopefully it will eventually make its way to consumer tech. We need to raise awareness on this and pressure companies to commit to this standard.

*From what I read, WoA has full ACPI support but qcoms ACPI apis only work on Windows. [1 (ms link)][2]

Yeah its really unfortunate that most arm chips/devices use DTs instead of conforming to ACPI. However with ARM becoming more prominent on servers (and desktops), Im hoping this changes. There is now a push for ACPI on Arm since thats what companies running Arm on servers want. Ampere server cpus eg have ACPI support and arm now has docs on ACPI. I hope qualcomm is also forced to support ACPI. I think they will have to do it if they want to see their cpus being used in data centers and the like.

Saw this in the log:

Apr 04 13:47:27 kernel: nvme nvme1: Device not ready; aborting reset, CSTS=0x1

Seems you were right, there is some kind of device or connection issue.

could also be an issue with kf.solid.backends.udisks2

Something like lemmy gold but with public names? /hj

Also, related note, how easy is it to migrate from one distro to another? I am thinking about trying something else - maybe base Fedora or Arch - to hopefully have better performance.

You can backup your data and restore but will have to reinstall all your apps.

Also have you tried asking in the nobara discord? GE and other devs are in there so you likely to get help there.
