Should I distro hop my work (!) machine to #OpenSUSE Tumbleweed (and fight with its lack of polkit setup and "hurr durr durr just use the root password" attitude),
-- or --
Should I make a fair attempt at troubleshooting the problems I'm having with #EndeavourOS?
My login (selecting Plasma Wayland session) dumps me into an Xorg screen with 3 xterms. I then have to 'sudo systemctl restart sddm' and log in again...etc..
Thinking of distro-hopping, any suggestions? Thinking of going for either an arch-based distro such as :artix: #artix or :endeavourOS: #endeavouros or some immutable distro such as :nixos: #nixos.
Hi all, I've just migrated from @irfan to this account on sakurajima.social. I'll also be attempting to migrate my main account @irfan to this one in the coming days, but I'm expecting nothing on that front since it's failed so far.
I've moved to multiple servers throughout my time on the #Fediverse in pursuit for a "permanent" instance to be on, and I've never had the chance to write an #intro post lol so this will be my first.
I'm a 26 year old (in Nov 2024) (gfdi) programmer obsessed with languages such as #Python and #Shell, frameworks like #Django, and #CloudNative shenanigans like #Docker, #Kubernetes, and #Helm. I'm also obsessed with #FOSS and #Linux, and promoting them to be more viable each day for the masses so everyone could have not just free but secure access to daily computing.
I'll be using this account to mostly document my passions through mini reviews or rants. I have another picture-based account over on #Pixelfed, @irfan. All images I have posted and will be posting will include descriptive/alt text, including my pfp and banner. I also have some bots for posting local (to me, #Malaysia) #news and other relevant data cos the #Mastodon API is just so fun to play with.
While it's nothing special to run it on TUXEDO hardware, this is particularly exciting as it is an early version coming out of our fully automated installation service. Things look promising to have it available for all customers pretty soon! 🤗
I somtimes have small, but annoying issues on my machine,
running EndeavourOS. Now, I don't use my PC often, only on the weekends.
And I'm thinking if I should just switch for another distro,
Or really take some time to look in the logs and try to google and fix this issue.
I alreayd tried once but it didn't hold for long.
It's a DNS issue.
What do you think? #EndeavourOS#Linux#Arch
Installed #EndeavourOS a few days ago and as someone coming from #Fedora, I have to say that having a package manager that is actually fast is amazing. The difference in speed between pacman and dnf is HUGE
Y'know, I started my Linux journey using Cinnamon; arguably the most "Windows-like" DE that there is. But the further away, time-wise, that I go from Windows, the more that GNOME just feels right. I really love the way it works, looks, and feels. I often wish that my Windows work computer functioned more like Gnome in it's workflow.
I'm surprised the #SteamDeck does not support .heic images by default. Not sure if that was also the case on #EndeavourOS and I installed something to have it compatible, or it was compatible from the get go.
For whatever reason, my computer won't suspend or hibernate. I have generally assumed it has to do with using DisplayPort for my primary monitor and HDMI for my secondary... but never quite figured it out. It is not a big deal since I turn my computer off when I am not using it anyway. Instead of continuing to dig into the weeds... I decided to install Xscreensaver and enable almost all of the screensavers. Left my computer for about 20 minutes and returned to Pacman on my primary monitor and a dancing wireframe box on my secondary monitor. Highly recommended.
It helps the Arch maintainers get a better view of the install base which in turn helps them know where to spend their time and effort. Get your votes in!
If nothing else, you get a really cool look at what other Arch users are using most.
Just installed #xwayland 24.1! Now to wait for the new version of the #Nvidia drivers. This is part of why I installed an Arch-based distro, I don't want to wait six months to two years between significant updates, I don't have that much extra time to spare in my life for reasons outside me and my body that shouldn't exist but do exist in this world and I don't want to waste it waiting around for new versions of stuff.
