There's a really exciting #Atomic#Linux#KDEPlasma project i like, & thought to follow here in the fediverse. I was going to add it, #Aurora, getaurora.dev/, to my large list of #followedhashtags but unfortunately atm my timing is a little poor. Bloody physics, astronomy, sun 😜
I purchased a domain today in the hopes of starting something I've wanted to do for a long time. I hate waste, especially #ewaste and I noticed a few of my local community members in dire need of computers but can't afford to get them. I decided that I'm going to try to get folks to donate their old hardware (desktops and laptops mostly) that are 5-7 years old (so 64bit works smoothly) and install #Linux on them and donate those recycled machines to the folks in need. More info coming soon!
I decided to try building #FreeCAD from source. I used a F39 toolbox on my #Fedora 40 #Silverblue and installed the prereqs; most from packages, but pyside2 from pip (inside the toolbox) since it hasn't been packaged in Fedora for years. The segfault I'm getting from libshiboken isn't illuminating to me. I could imagine a missing dependency on a package causing a segfault, or maybe no one is building FreeCAD on Fedora and it just doesn't work on F39. 🤔
Not clear that I'm close enough to the beaten path for this to be worth a bug report, though. Quite likely PEBCAK...
@nixCraft AMD igp + Nvidia dgpu, I have worse experience than windows using an external monitor, waiting for it to improve. With gnome the monitor flashes when going fullscreen and KDE works well but some games do really bad. I'll test in near future again.
the csd/ssd discourse is annoying. why can't we have both. ask the window manager to draw the window, then tell the client where it can place things like extra window buttons and tabs and things. kinda like windows but good. this would allow people who want to customise to be able to do so, but if you just install a desktop environment like gnome it still solves the problem. #linux#gnome#linuxDesktop#desktopEnvironment#CSD#windowManager
Un déménagement, c’est aussi l’occasion de mieux regarder certains souvenirs. Comme ce cadre d’il y a quelques (ahem) années, dessiné et signé par le Sieur @BrunoBellamy ! #linux#bellaminette
@athenavocat yé soui oune ayent sécret, yé pé pas tout dire. @BrunoBellamy régale tout de même depuis plus de 6 ans ici, suivez-le tou•te•s ! #dessin#art
Linux desktop is sorely missing good ad integration. Try to search “how to view ads on linux” and I bet you can't find anything at all. There isn't even a stand-alone app. Not everyone is able/willing to run a Windows VM just for basic ad viewing at the OS level.
In this one, #Nvidia plans to use their open source drivers as the default, we have more details about @system76 Cosmic Desktop,a nasty attack vector that can bypass your #VPN without you knowing, plus #Valve contributing to Nvidia drivers now!
I see some people are really disappointed about Debian packaging a stripped-down version of KeePassXC. But hey, I actually wish there was also a minimal @thunderbird package without integrations of IRC or Matrix etc, just with core email functionality.
Puh, after almost 20 years (when version 1.1 got released in 2005) I switched from #ezjail to #cbsd. Feels strange because I always refused to use any other jail manager. But I guess it's time to move on... Btw, also like the TUI if #cbsd.
Have a nice weekend #FreeBSD fans (and of course also everyone else).
