I'll go first, but it's pretty basic, since I only have a handful of extensions. Used to be really, REALLY big on ricing, tiling wms, et cetera,
but I've grown to use what I started with, with some stuff to make my stuff balanced between mouse and (a mostly) keyboard workflow.
Current wallpapers are from #elementaryos 7.1 horus (I change wallpapers regularly)
Now that I became a linux user (#Fedora38#GNOME to be precise) started distancing from myself from bigtech starting with trying out a 1T storage option provided by a german company #Hetzner (they hosts #Mastodon's main servers as well I think).
On top of storage you get a preinstalled #Nextcloud system so you have all the Basic features like at #GoogleDrive or #OneDrive.
Innocent old me. It’s been years since I have even thought about /etc/X11/xorg.conf and I thought I never would have to again. Wrong.
Today I updated Fedora Linux on my PPC workstation and on reboot, I had lost my GUI login. That turned out to be because the systemd gdm.service had failed, because the X server had failed, because… well, because it had no conf file.
These days you’re not supposed to need one (it’s meant to auto-detect stuff during boot) but after the updates, this install needed one.
I generated one with the Xorg command, and while that command errored out, it seemed to generate a complete-looking config file. With fingers crossed I dropped it into place and rebooted and it Just Worked[tm].
Not a fun thing to debug, but I am glad to have solved it. #linux#fedora38#power9#xorg
Had a complete #linux fail over the last couple of days...
First, I tried to upgrade from #ubuntu 22.04 to 23.04 (via 22.10) and was left with an unbootable system.
I'd also been thinking about trying #fedora for some time and so decided to try out Fedora 38 instead of trying to recover my install. I installed it fine and generally think it's a great distro, but it has been SO unstable. Gnome shell crashes on resume from suspend and lots of core apps keep crashing, too. Kinda disappointing.
@benjaminhollon@tomjwatson that's certainly not what we intend. things crashing constantly is not an expected or typical experience; lots of people are running #fedora38without that happening. if you're seeing a lot of crashes there must be something specific going on to cause it; if you could file bugs for them, it would help us try and figure that out. it is absolutely not 'normal' for a new fedora release to do this.
