@Jain@omgubuntu but it is more clearly laid out than the default Ubuntu one (at least for the PC activity) - AND includes an option to see the GPU activity! Nice thing, instantly installed :blobhappy:
More #inxi / #pinxi CPU issues, it looks like #fedora / #rhel have changed a default standard path in /sys for unknown reasons, thus breaking inxi cpu speed collection. This tripped need to do more refactors, this time to the fake cpu data debugger logic, it was not complete.
Also, a new codeberg issue pointed out that in many #Linux I can get basic RAM/RAM array data from udevadm, which appears to dump some dmi data into itself, available to user.
@adamw@mjgardner@Perl while I did not fully document my recent rh/fedora based distro vm tests, I know I had to install modules to get the debugger running, since as soon as I get the stuff running, I fire off a debugger dataset so I have it in storage for future reference.
To me when basic things like this are not understood, that's a huge red flag about something more fundamental in the model one is using to view the landscape.
The problems of for profit os vendors have zero value to me.

I have been daily driving mine since February of this year. Before that, I daily drove the PPP for a year and before that I daily drove the PP for a year.
The #Librem5 was a major step up in quality and usability from day one. I loved my pinephones, but I don't think that I could go back to them.
Since 2022 it has been implied multiple times by the openSUSE Development, that openSUSE Leap was being discontinued. Then they said it wasn't being discontinued, but replaced. Once more, they said it wasn't being replaced, simply changed. Now lastly, they're saying it may remain, but either in 1 of 3 forms
Ever watch a TV network kill off a good TV show, because the new executive does not like it, but the fans keep hanging on?
openSUSE has plenty of contributors, both from the community and from SUSE.
18 years, since October 2005, openSUSE has been going strong. The divided between Tumbleweed and Leap has continued for 8 of those years (since 2015).
Then you come along and claim the sky is falling (metaphorically speaking), by adding so much uncertainty and doubt, without actually doing anything for nearly 2 years.
Petite bouteille à la mer, j'essaie d'installer #Linuxmint sur un petit PC portable ASUS avec un SDD interne de 32Go, le problème c'est que je n'arrive pas à booter sur la clé USB. Pour accéder ua BIOS je dois redémarrer le PC via windows et lorsque je configure le BIOS je demande en 1 de booter sur la clé et en 2 de booter sur windows, le pb c'est qu'il me lance systématiquement windows. J'ai essayé de retélécharger mon iso mais le résultat est identique. Je commence à me décourager.
@MarSolRivas
Bon, hier soir j'ai installé Firefox, Libre Office, les codecs, l'installateur de paquets. J'ai 5Go utilisés et 21Go disponibles sur le SSD.
Tout fonctionne bien, je n'ai plus qu'à montrer les bases au fiston et c'est parti pour la seconde vie de cet ordi.
À nouveau un grand merci pour ton aide précieuse. ☺️
@thelinuxEXP@denzilferreira Your thoughts on Fedora’s other Desktop’s? Do all the normal stuff, media & such, data is all On a MacBook Pro, looking to do, security spin, yet with base workstation.. 32gb ram I-7 tb SSD, know of a way to switch DT’s on the fly,? Putting Elementary on an Asus, thanks 😊
@Conan_Kudo@sysrich@vwbusguy Well, I'm not sure which docs you found, but most of our docs are on a wiki, so you can edit them, and save the next guy the headache, if you wish =]
Finally putting my x230 to rest, the last sudo poweroff. Hardware is failing beyond the point that makes continuing to repair it worthwhile.
On this laptop I deployed nearly 60 servers (most for at risk groups), 12 tech art projects (solo & collab, some toured worldwide), & gave many lectures & workshops.
If there was ever a loyal and electric steed, it was this x230. It ran #Debian & was good.
I bought it in 2015, for EUR145 on the German eBay, 2nd hand.
@JulianOliver Still better than Lenovo's ThinkPads. As a T14s (AMD Gen1) owner - I'd be upgrading IBM models for as long as possible.
...which reminds me: gotta check #FreeBSD hardware support for FrameWork, Dell and few other vendors' AMD-based laptops.
A conversation that keeps popping up in my mind since FOSDEM centers around open source projects and “AI,” and I still don’t know what I think. So let me share some thoughts here on the famously nuance-friendly Internet. 😜
During a chat w/folks from several open source organizations, someone suggested GNOME could attract funding by “sprinkling some AI on it.” Several folks laughed at the topical joke, but then realized it was in earnest. 🧵
For example: object recognition in the Image Viewer app to remove backgrounds; algorithmically improved camera quality in video calls; autocorrect! These are all areas that use ML algorithms on other platforms, and I don’t think that’s bad; you take a bunch of data, train an algorithm, then ship that in the OS/GNOME/etc. to be genuinely helpful.
First, we can get on board with that, right? Personally, I don’t consider that “AI,” even.
@gnuplusmatt@adamw@Defolos@carlwgeorge Outside of needing certifications and everything that implies, CentOS Stream should suffice as an LTS distribution for the vast majority of users. And most people would prefer updates to be released as soon as they're qualified, rather than waiting for a minor version boundary that's potentially six months away. That particular quirk of Enterprise Linux is the result of needing to qualify stuff for certifications and other things.
TIL Fedora is packaging a web browser app I developed for elementary OS, stopped updating over three years ago, and marked as end-of-life two years ago—yet it happily shows up in Fedora 40 if you search my name. It crashes on launch, so it doesn’t even work…
WHY??
Edit: I guess the package is being EOL'd in Fedora due to it no longer building and this thread, huzzah! My recommendation to distros: don’t package random apps and then not maintain them/communicate with upstream.
@cassidy@adamw You don't have to create a bugzilla account. You can email <package>-maintainers@fedoraproject.org to reach the maintainers of a package.
@danyeaw@FineFindus OpenSUSE has also gotten really good, we used to have it on our living room PC. I'm just not a fan of all the networking and management tools they provide, I don't really need them.
@jzb@jwildeboer@bookwar@Conan_Kudo I didn't expect "ELevate works too well" to be a factor behind this, especially when you can also use it to upgrade RHEL, IIRC. I definitely had better luck with Alma's tool than leapp directly from Red Hat.
Is my humble suggestion. Of course with a bit of wine, or a lot of wine, there might be a better idea to wait... 😉
(Confession btw: I have a hard time visualizing disc partitions so when I install Arch I have a second stick with Ubuntu or something on that I run first, just to run Gparted from the stick and set everything up with empty partitions before booting on the arch stick and go from there)
