Is Ubuntu deserving the hate? (lemmy.ml)

Long story short, I have a desktop with Fedora, lovely, fast, sleek and surprisingly reliable for a near rolling distro (it failed me only once back around Fedora 34 or something where it nuked Grub). Tried to install on a 2012 i7 MacBook Air… what a slog!!! Surprisingly Ubuntu runs very smooth on it. I have been bothering all...

Sentau,

Course Fedora does literally the same thing and doesn’t get any hate for it so idk. It’s just a meme.

When have fedora gone their own way ¿? What have they shipped that is not standard on Linux¿? Closest thing I can think is using selinux and firewalld instead of Apparmour and ufw.

Sentau,

In the mean time I guess that you could copy the 1st 60 characters of your password to login.

Edit - you can go to the lemmy github if you to air your grievance over the restriction of password length.

On a personal note, how much extra protection does a 80+ length give over a 60 character one¿?

Sentau,

Isn’t nvk supposed to be a part of what nouveau provides like how RADV provides vulkan functionality for the AMDGPU driver.

Sentau,

They must be already defederated by your instance

Sentau,

Thanks for updating to 0.19. Also it is good to see you back here

Sentau,

I would wager nvidia. Wayland works way better with amd and intel GPUs.

Sentau,

This is what I don’t get. AMD has driver issues on windows because of a combination of their own incompetence and windows updates doing stupid windows things - people squarely lay the the blame on AMD. NVIDIA releases bad closed source drivers causing issues on linux - somehow the fault of linux and the open source communities.

These people should be hounding NVIDIA to fix their issues instead crying to DE developers to fix issues caused by NVIDIA.

Sentau,

Thanks. I no longer get the error messages when running it from the terminal but I am getting the same issues i was getting earlier when I run it from the desktop

Sentau,

Any idea why they refederated¿?

Sentau,

Well there were/are attempts to make flatpak with flathub an universal app store on linux. If I remember correctly, there were some ideas mooted on adding paid apps in to flathub.

I still don’t understand the defederation. Yes we are using an older version of lemmy but unless federating to different versions causes some bugs or issues, what is their rationale¿? Signings are closed for lemmy.one(and always were) so it’s not like random people will join lemmy.one and start spamming the lemmy.world instance beacuse Jonah is not active.

Edit : I just checked up and they are still federated with many other instances running on older version of lemmy so I don’t think that is the issue.

Sentau, (edited )

But that’s exactly my point. Sign-ups to lemmy.one were always closed so you needed approval from the admin(Jonah) to create an account on the instance. Now since Jonah is not actively involved, nobody can join lemmy.one because he is not approving their accounts anymore. So no new person can join the instance.

As for the users already using a lemmy.one account, they have been using the fediverse peacefully without spamming anybody, even during the past 2 months when jonah was not actively moderating. In fact this seems to be one of the best behaved instances. Now maybe there is a sleeper agent among us lemmy.one users who was waiting for Jonah to become inactive before starting their spamming activities but somehow I seriously doubt that.

Considering the points I laid out above, I feel that the defederation was an unnecessary action taken by the lemmy.world admins. The risk of spam is very miniscule and this small risk does not call for the use a nuclear option like defederation.

Sentau,

I found no post or comment by the lemmy.world admins regarding defederation from us. How can they defederate from a decently big instance like us and not even inform their users about it. Could it be that they accidentally defederated from us

Sentau,

This seems like a very valid concern. Though it does seem a little extreme. Who is this person who hates lemmy.world or lemmy in general so much that he or she is hacking into someone’s account just to post disgusting stuff to the platform.

Sentau, (edited )

From what i gather, hesitations section in fediseer is just for the admins to list instances of concern rather than a list of instances they have defederated from(because if you see the list of instances they have actually defederated from at https://lemmy.world/instances, the numbers dont match). I would still expect them to make a post about defeding from a moderately big instance. They did it when they defederated from feddit.nl (which has less users than us)

Sentau,

I dont think there is cause for concern. He was posting on mastadon a few days ago and was uploading videos on his youtube channel 2 weeks ago. I just think he is busy and cant make any time for lemmy. Hopefully he takes a little time to make some other people admins to keep lemmy.one functioning

Sentau,

My concern is that the post may get missed/get lost among other posts. There is no way to mark something as a bug like you do in GitHub or codeberg and considering that the dev is busy with his life, it is unreasonable to expect him regularly keep checking lemmy to catch posts about bugs

Sentau, (edited )

Am I the only seeing no description or photo of what the bug is as part of the main post? Is this some bug in lemmy?

Sentau,

Wow this is something new that I found out just now. Lemmy-ui was able to show the video but none of my clients are showing a video or even hinting towards the fact that there is something to show

Sentau,

Please also mention that the reason the Nouveau is slow is not because of incompetence rather it is because nvidia only allows drivers signed by them to be able the change clocks of their GPUs(at least the fairly modern ones) and hence Nouveau can only run the GPU at base clock. This is being rectified now(after like almost a decade iirc) as nvidia is adding their proprietary firmware to the kernal which will then allow Nouveau to control the GPU clockspeed. Also NVK is being developed to provide vulkan support for nvidia GPUs through the open source driver(Nouveau)

Sentau, (edited )

Actually i dont think ubuntu or their derivatives are to blame here. The issues started after the big new ui update to steam. Somebody did raise the issue with valve and there is a thread on the bug but it seems they arent particularly interested in fixing the issue(maybe because it does not affect that many users?). Also once the command has been added, the experience should be just as smooth as normal. Why do you characterise it as just tolerable?

Sentau,

lemmy.one/post/151466 - This post may help you with issues you face with launching steam.

I too have have an amd+amd laptop(MSI bravo 15 with 5600h+5500m) and I don’t have any issues with switching from integrated graphics to dedicated graphics. The kernel decides itself(with help from the program running I am guessing) whether the iGPU or dGPU needs to be used. I face absolutely no freezing issues or issues in general related to graphics switching.

What might be possibly causing your random freezes and stutters is the AMD fTPM. It’s random number generator function is known to cause stuttering and freezing on both windows and Linux. AMD made several futile attempts at solving the issue before Linus ranted about it and then AMD disabled the RNG functionality. But almost all these patches are part of kernel 6.x series so maybe they have not made it downstream to the lts kernel you are running on(not surprising considering how much of a burden it seems supporting old kernels is). If possible, you could disable fTPM from the bios and see if that fixes your general freezing issues. Though I have to warn you that TPM is needed for secure boot(I think) and is used by some password managers for secure password storage so you might lose functionality by turning off the fTPM. Moving to a more modern distro which uses a newer kernel(6.4.7 and above iirc) may also help.

Also out of curiosity, why is your GPU being shown as 5600 or 5600xt. I am assuming that you have a 5600m

Packman repository usage best practices on Opensuse Tumbleweed?

When using software and the codecs from the packman repo, what are the best practices associated with the updating and maintaince of these packages and the system in general. Do I have to wait for sometime before updating using dup or can I use the packman modules of mesa with updated versions of the mesa modules provided...

Sentau,

How did you switch mesa version without using the –allow-vendor-change flag. Did you manually uninstall the mesa packages shipped by opensuse and then switch them with mesa packages from packman? Vendor change is the only method recommended everywhere and no other methods are discussed so I am curious as to how you manage without it. Also how do track that the repos are synced. I have to manually check the packman website to see if the packages have been updated to version that opensuse is shipping. Do you do the same?

Also sorry for the late reply

Sentau, (edited )

Did you add the packman repo to the repository list before running opi codecs¿?

Edit : Never mind that was a stupid question
