I like Blade Runner, I like Michelle Yeoh, I have very little faith in Amazon’s production… we’ll see

Inter is great, I’ve been using it (TTF hinted) as my UI font for years and it renders very sharply. I’m on Debian and KDE Plasma

It’s not made by Google though, it’s this guy, Rasmus Andersson

I’ve always used XFS on spinning drives and F2FS on SSDs. No issues, they’re very solid

Why do they describe the AK-74 as “Soviet-era” when it’s the main service rifle of both Russia and Ukraine and still being produced? That’s like calling the M16 “Vietnam War-era”.

Soulseek is good. It’s a peer-to-peer sharing service, so you can just choose who to download from rather than waiting in a queue. You can find things in FLAC if you want it, or in various lossy qualities.

Were you watching 4K77 and 4K83 with Digital Noise Reduction? The movies are distributed in two versions, one with film grain and the other with DNR.

What it sounds like you want is only your home folder encrypted, where it decrypts seamlessly upon login. It sounds like you have encrypted OS root, which is more secure but necessarily requires a password before the system gets to the login screen.

Other than reinstalling your system, you do have the option of either making your decryption password shorter, and/or enabling auto-login after boot (if you’re the computer’s only user), so you’d only have to type one password instead of two.

I’m not familiar with exactly what you mean, does it not require a password to boot that way? I have full-disk encryption on my laptop but not with TPM, grub just prompts me for a password before the kernel boots

Thinkpad X1 Carbon

I am strongly considering picking up a recent gen X1 Carbon. I really the like the idea of the device, having cellular data, working fingerprint reader and maybe even using it with an eGPU for some gaming. How possible is all of this on Linux? UPDATE: I managed to find a 9th Gen Carbon with LTE, I can’t wait it for it to get...

ArchWiki says that the 2022 X1 Carbon 10th gen has full WWAN and fingerprint reader support, the only thing not supported is the optional advanced webcam which should be easy to avoid. It also says that Thunderbolt eGPU is generally well-supported.

I have the recent Thinkpad T14s G3 and I can confirm USB4/Thunderbolt works properly, but I don’t have an eGPU.

it’s an extension, right? i would assume it would go away if you uncheck this option in Firefox settings: https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/92a756a9-aef4-4276-96c8-5ec4a6b05bb8.png

i’ve had this unchecked so i haven’t seen it pop up in my use

Nice! What graphics card do you have? AMD generally works well out-of-the-box, but if you have NVidia you may need to install drivers

I’m not sure if it meets all your requirements, but Dolphin has a dual-panel mode if you press F3 and has lots of other configuration options as well

Conspiracy theory among the far-right and “carnivores” that seed oil is feminizing men, ruining society, causing cell death, etc.

Laptop not working after installing nimdow

I have installed nimdow window manager. I have auto-login enabled. Nimdow is the default option. The only options I have at boot are (from the bootloader): default, timeout, edit, resolution, print and help (help is not working). How am I supposed to go back to GNOME or disable auto-login? I tried accessing the recovery shell,...

If the computer boots but you can’t access a GUI, use Ctrl+Alt+F3 to open a console. From there you can use nano to edit the login manager configuration. If you had GNOME installed, your login manager is probably GDM, and its config should be at /etc/gdm/daemon.conf, according to the manual. If that is the case, it looks like you should erase the username under the entry “AutomaticLogin=”.

If I understand correctly, the filesystem driver is contained within the kernel for all linux-native filesystems (Ext4, XFS, BtrFS, F2FS, etc.), just as drivers for computer components and devices are. But drivers to access NTFS (Windows) and HFS+ (Mac OS) drives are programs in userspace

Is it just me or does it seem a bit out-of-touch to brag that last year’s $1100 phone is still usable? You would sure hope it wasn’t made obsolete that quickly

Debian. Huge repository, no bullshit, and basically any software for Linux is packaged/compatible with it.
