  • openRuyi — A Linux Distribution for RISC-V

    Jump

  • There is a UEFI Requirements section in the RISC-V Boot and Runtime Services Specification (BRS) specification. But this is optional and as far as I know most SBCs don't use it. So yeah because of poor mainline Linux kernel and other components (like SBI) upstreaming by RISC-V systemproviders it is still a sad case that often you need a system specific image. So yeah I think we will need to wait until RISC-V breaks more into PC-like and server space before BRS and similar specs get used more.

  • On openSUSE they have snapper snapshotting integrated into package management, so it automatically creates a snapshot before and after updates. And if something would go wrong you could easily select an old snappshot to boot from in the GRUB menu.

  • This Week in Plasma: The beginnings of Wayland session restore

    Jump

  • Oh yeah. Can't wait for this. Bad session management/restore is basically the only major thing I still miss a lot on Wayland. Hopefully Firefox and other apps will gain support for this soon (I guess all Qt/KDE apps will get support at once when they also add support to Qt and KDE Frameworks). Anyways I just opened the enhancement request for Firefox for this just hoping they will add support soon.

  • Yeah, most newcomers don't even know about the spins and labs since they are quite hidden. So this is a great thing for getting Fedora KDE Spin on an equal footing in visibility and promotion.

  • Fedora KDE Spin will be upgraded to Edition status

    Jump

  • Yeah they are more visible/promoted and offered for downloads on the same equal level as other editions. Otherwise spins and labs can be quite hidden from peopel who do not know they exist.

  • kscreenlocker_greet broke with a recent update of OpenSUSE (November 1). Any advice on how to fix it?

    Jump

  • Install pam_pkcs11 package, which contains the missing library

  • Yet another "What distro should I use?" post, but at least I did some homework.

    Jump

  • I am also gaming a lot and used nvidia in the past and by the description you give I would say openSUSE Tumbleweed is the one. It is rolling release, but they also have extensive QA tests before letting packages get released as updates so it is very stable for a rolling release. And another thing that openSUSE is awesome for is that they have BTRFS snappshotting very nicely configured out of the box so before and after each update it creates a snappshot and if something goes wrong you can just select an old working snappshot from GRUB boot menu. And with Nvidia this breakage was happening well more often the I would like. I also like their Open Build Service where you can find many additional packages which might not be packaged by distro people themselves.

  • Agree and hope it brings even better GNU/Linux gaming support, as it is the OS that is in this democratic users/people owned operating system, just as other free as in freedom and opensource collaborative software. In this regard Valve does quite a very good job of improving and sponsoring GNU/Linux, Mesa drivers KDE and other opensource projects. What all other gaming companies fail terribly at. What comes after Valve must be even better at it.

  • Well and behind it is stealing other peoples’ work (posts and comments, moderation and administration) and selling them as yours. The oldest capitalist criminal trick in the book: privatization AKA primitive accumulation AKA enclosure of the commons.

  • What desktop enviroment do you use and why?

    Jump

  • KDE Plasma on all my computers and also as desktop mode on Steam Deck. because it supports the latest technologies especially when it comes to graphics (HDR, VRR) also has best support for Wayland and multi-monitors. It looks great out of the box and it has a lot of features out of the box and I do not need to battle with adding some extensions that break with almost every update. KDE Plasma is also the most flexible desktop and I can set the workflow really to fit my desires and I can actually set many options and settings. And despite all these built-in features and configurability it still uses very few system resources and is very fast and smooth. Oh and the KDE community is one of the most welcoming I have met in FOSS world, and they listen to their users instead of the our way or the high way mentality I have so often encountered in GNOME for example. So yeah TLDR KDE Plasma is the one I like the most of all in the industry, even when compared to proprietary closed alternatives.

  • Those sociopaths burning the planet and pumping out all the water are completely out of touch with reality. They would rather destroy the planet for some Annoying Idiocy .

  • Microsoft just paused Windows 11 24H2 update for many PCs due to crashes and freezes

    Jump

  • Crashing is the smallest problem. All that sypware, ads and artificial idiocy they are embedding in the bloated excuse of an OS is way worse than any crash. I am so glad I switched to GNU/Linux (openSUSE Tumbleweed with KDE Plasma desktop, after seeing how well gaming works on Steam Deck I also switched to GNU/Linux for gaming) and it is so so much nicer to have an OS that is fast, stable and actually respects basic human rights like privacy and freedom.

  • Israeli parliament votes to ban UNRWA from Israel within 90 days

    Jump

  • It’s way past time that UN bans Israel from their institutions and puts heavy sanctions on them for their genocide and other crimes against humanity.
