@thelinuxcast Oh no... What's the best alternative?

cameronbosch,
@cameronbosch@fosstodon.org avatar

@thelinuxcast That’s what I switched to as well. Hyfetch is alright, but I think I prefer something like FastFetch, as it is compiled (in C) versus interpreted (in Bash or Python).

@system76 Nice job moving to a 16:10 aspect ratio! Also, will the Darter Pro have coreboot?

@joel I'm thinking of playing it on my Steam Deck. It actually supports Linux natively too!

More indies are a good thing with AAA game studios generally disappointing these days.

Is it just me or is Ubuntu basically the Windows of Linux now?

@aral RHEL is worse. It's literally an IBM Linux system now.

Hyprland keeps crashing while I'm recording videos. It has done it now three times.

I'm sorry, but that's the end for me. At least for a long while. I'm headed back to Xorg.

cameronbosch,
@cameronbosch@fosstodon.org avatar

@thelinuxcast Do you know what's causing the crash? I'm not saying that it's a legitimate problem with Hyprland, but do you know WHY it's crashing? Have you sent logs or filed a bug report with Hyprland's developer?

cameronbosch,
@cameronbosch@fosstodon.org avatar

@thelinuxcast Wait, what? Are you sure that you submitted everything right?

cameronbosch,
@cameronbosch@fosstodon.org avatar

@raptor85 @thelinuxcast Really? That's not what I've heard, and I have both an AMD & Nvidia desktop and an all AMD laptop.

That is kind of sus though.

We've just opened a new firmware/system software role (open to US, Canada, and Taiwan). We develop open source firmware to enable products like this, and we have even more exciting projects on our roadmap:

@frameworkcomputer If this eventually results in a coreboot option for the Intel Framework's (that aren't the Chomebook Edition), that'll be big for Linux users!

(Unfortunately, it seems like coreboot on AMD Ryzen CPUs isn't a thing yet...)

@steamdeckhq Oh wow, you guys added a separate review score for the games themselves!

I can't wait to see how @CassetteBeasts multi-player update performs on the Steam Deck OLED (I've manually locked the frame rate to 60 hz because I don't think the game goes any higher); it's probably been one of my favorite turn-based RPGs I've ever played. I highly recommend it!

Ever feel like you're lost in a jungle of code? Get $100 when you preorder the new Oryx Pro. Its 16:10 display is great for reviewing code! https://s76.co/J14dX5Cu

A wild Oryx Pro in it's jungle.

cameronbosch,
@cameronbosch@fosstodon.org avatar

@system76 I was hoping for a screen with a bit higher resolution, like 2560x1600, given the RTX 4070 can easily handle 1440p gaming... Oh well...

cameronbosch,
@cameronbosch@fosstodon.org avatar

@Wyatt @system76 Not with 16:10.

cameronbosch,
@cameronbosch@fosstodon.org avatar

@system76 @Wyatt Cool. I was just hoping that the Oryx Pro would get a 2560x1600 screen, given the Clevo chassis seems to have the option from other brands.

Quick FOSS legal literacy quiz

Imagine the following situation: your project is MIT licensed. Someone takes the whole project and white-labels it (changes the name), then sells it commercially without providing the source code or sharing any of the sales revenue with you. They include "Copyright <your name>" and a copy of the MIT license in the "about" page of the software.

Is this allowed?

cameronbosch, (edited )
@cameronbosch@fosstodon.org avatar

@drewdevault Wow, so it's a license that is impossible to comply with. Thanks for the clarifiation; I didn't know THAT was why the SSPL license was considered nonfree.

@system76 This looks like a pretty good laptop. The main problem I see with this laptop is that awful keyboard layout. Specifically, what the hell is that arrow key layout!? It looks so nonstandard that it may as well be impossible to get used to…

Startup company Playtron is looking to be the default OS for future handheld PCs to rival Windows... but they're doing it with Fedora Atomic Desktops!
https://www.theverge.com/24090470/playtron-gaming-os-linux-handhelds-exclusive

Seems like it's early days and not a sure thing, but they are in talks with hardware vendors like Ayaneo.

It's great to see Fedora Atomic helping to pave the way for free and open source operating systems on handheld PCs!

cameronbosch,
@cameronbosch@fosstodon.org avatar

@fedora If this takes the place of Ayaneo OS, this could be interesting, especially given Valve STILL hasn't released Steam OS 3 even for other handhelds with AMD APUs!

@thelinuxEXP I don't have much confidence in it either, but maybe it will get Valve to finally release Steam OS 3 for other AMD handhelds...

    @JoeRess I unfortunately don't have much experience with Linux printers. I have an HP but most brands are probably fine as long as you don't need specialized apps. (I bought it before the ink cartridge DRM controversy; I likely wouldn't have bought an HP printer if I was buying today) The core functionality of printing on Linux thanks to CUPS is actually better than on Windows because you don't need external drivers; it's either supported or it's not.
