We're excited to hear about the community updates that will be presented at the Fedora 40 Release Party. 😬 We'll learn about the Mentored Projects initiative, the git forge investigation, EPEL 10, and Week of Diversity!
I'm running testing on my laptop, as I have been for a couple decades. I've been waiting for the t64 transition to settle out before resuming updating packages.
I think the transition is now (mostly?) done, but aptitude is still flummoxed when trying to resolve 1300+ package updates.
I've tried to find small groups of packages that I can manually select and upgrade, but with few exceptions pulling on one of these threads quickly leads to a tangled mess of broken packages.
Any advice for how to tackle this would be most appreciated!
@HankB@plantarum That's when you use apt-mark. Gnome/KDE are incredibly dependency heavy desktops and will have breakages now and again. You should still update the rest of the system and unhold the gnome/kde packages once dependencies have been updated.
@plantarum@HankB Using this as a learning opportunity and attempting to update could be good, if you're interested. If you're going to wipe anyway, there's no loss.
Since we’re all onboard with telling off Linux evangelists in this moment, Linux has privacy issues too! If your screen goes to sleep, when you come back you’re greeted by your screen contents - not the Lock Screen for a solid two seconds or so (at least in GNOME Shell, the default desktop environment for many distros). #gnome#linux#security
@visone and GNOME is a Linux desktop environment. It’s the default on the most widespread workstation and desktop distributions.
But, fine, Linux doesn’t actually do SecureBoot attestation. The other major OSes do. (Yes, you can load a machine-owner key and do it yourself, but that surely doesn’t count as the OS providing it or supporting it)
@c0dec0dec0de
Sure, but it's a gnome-wayaland problem. That's the thing with linux, you can choose.
So you want to move to linux cause microsoft, but still using microsoft keys in your secure boot?? ....
J'ai cherché la date de déploiement mais rien trouvé.
Je comptais faire cela cet été.
Finalement, tout ce que j'utilise en soft est multiplateforme, donc, normalement, j'ai juste à faire très attention à mes sauvegardes. 😉
Installed #Waydroid on my #Fedora Linux PC today. Took a while until I understood how to add some ARM emulation support. Followed instructions for adding Google PlayStore, hooked up the Xbox 360 controller and fired up #AmongUs where the little one immediately started to show me the ropes.
My experience with #elementaryOS so far has not been great. After installing I had to do a bit of tinkering to install the right Nvidia drivers and be able to boot to GUI, many times the system hangs after coming back from suspend, the default terminal has some issue that makes it laggy, etc.
Since replacing my graphics card in March, my arch system crashes on resume 20% of the time. I don't see any obvious cause in the logs, so I finally cracked and posted a discussion thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=296050
@underlap This is with the old "radeon" driver, right? If so, this unfortunately just happens sometimes. The driver is in maintenance mode (except for the occasional compile fix) and - according to AMD - has "unfixable" design problems. :(
The amdgpu driver for my Zen2 Thinkpad is flawless and reliable.
The old fanless card in my workstation also finally died for good, so I'm in the same boat. Unfortunately there are no up-to-date lowend cards for amdgpu. :(
@Cylis custom kernels are a pain in the rear on openSUSE.
If you're on my Discord server, ping Jake. He has built several for openSUSE and knows how to do it. You may be able to find some on the Open Build Service with opi (opi kernel), but IDK how often those are updated.
