Work it, baby!
An older Entroware Athena laptop is breaking more than a sweat. Poor little nVidia GTX 980M is struggling a touch! 😅

Do you have any questions about @AsahiLinux and Fedora Asahi development?

Join the Fedora 40 Release Party where Fedora Asahi SIG members will present on the state of the remix for Fedora 40 and answer some questions!

I really hope that neither @wez nor the #GNOME maintainers do something similar to #wezTerm or gnome-terminal.

@s_bergmann I think there are already way too many surfaces that have been saturated with that sort of thing to want to also put it directly into the terminal

What kind of features would you be willing to pay for in a potential official #Gnome online account?

I'd love to have a way to save all my settings + extensions with their settings and import them all back with one click after doing a clean install.

With SaveDesktop you can save your current configuration (themes, icons, wallpapers, all desktop environment settings, extensions, Flatpak, etc.) on a USB key or external disk, then import it after a clean install 🙂

@gnomelibre Oh wow, that's amazing. Wish I knew about that a week ago 😅

Are there any useful learning resources out there that are essentially "build systems for dummies"?

I haven't built any complex projects from source manually so far (spoiled by meson + GNOME Builder's Flatpak integration), but I'm finding myself wanting a better understanding of what's actually happening under the hood to turn the stuff in my project folder into something runnable. I don't know much about tweaking meson.build files, for instance.

bragefuglseth,
@bragefuglseth@fosstodon.org avatar

@tristan957 Yeah. I can do some meson.build tweaking, but I don't know the "environment" those files operate on.

tristan957,
@tristan957@fosstodon.org avatar

@bragefuglseth Meson is just a build.ninja file generator. If you want to see how that happens you need to read the ninjabackend.py file.

If anyone wants to or knows someone who wants to hack on a PineNote, let me know. I’m willing to send it to an eager developer for the cost of shipping. It’s unclear where the project is heading, but it seems some people are trying to run Debian and #GNOME. There’s an effort to get mainline #Linux kernel support in for it. I just don’t have the patience and time to contribute.

I’ve already left a message in the Pine Discord offering the same.

If you are curious and courageous, and run testing or unstable, you might like to try the latest snapshot of by @gajim. It features message replies and message reactions.

Expect bugs! This is not a release version, but a snapshot. It's called "experimental" for a reason.

echo "deb https​://deb.debian.org/debian/ experimental main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/experimental.list

sudo apt update

sudo apt install -t experimental gajim

@debacle very nice, this fits my current stack of Debian right now. I did not know there was this release branch in there!

Oliver Smith, Interim Engineering Director of the Ubuntu Desktop team, just shared a roadmap for the Ubuntu 24.10 development cycle.

Spoiler: There is a lot of really cool stuff to look forward to! 😃

@kernellogger we got some regression reports in the #archlinux bugtracker popping up now that 6.9.1 was released to our repos!

I'll take care of getting the reports into an actionable state and let the reporters shoot you mails or forward them myself 😊

ohh, yeah, now I understand; but ignore that, that's a very specific case where somebody is quite a bit overeager while at the same time missing the right tactfulness quite a few times.

I'm already in love with the Ptyxis terminal. The fact that I no longer need to type toolbox enter fedora every time I open the terminal is just 🤌

@gregorni I've been using "toolbox enter" as a custom command in Black Box. It works great!

@lobau Oh! Nice workaround!

Fedora 40 Release Party in Prague

An event report from Fedora 40 release party that took place in Prague on Friday May 17th.

@brnohat I see not many folks showed up. Sorry for not making it this time.

@sesivany@floss.social avatar

@hroncok @brnohat Not many people, but it was the best release party in a log time, interesting talks and even more interesting discussions. Normally we're done with the talk section in 1.5-2 hours, this time it took 4 hours and it was never boring.

Plasma donation time.
A bit delayed today because of so many new donators.

Australian Red Cross Lifeblood has issued an immediate call for donors as their reserves of most blood types drop to critical levels.
