Great with more systemd free distros!

I use Devuan, if you need Debian without systemd.

theshatterstone54, to linux in LMDE 6 Codenamed “Faye”, Linux Mint 21.3 Is Planned for Christmas 2023

Cool stuff. Especially excited by the fact that the Linux Mint team will continue looking at Wayland support. With Fedora starting to fall out of favour because of the telemetry stuff, I could see Mint become THE distro to recommend to someone. It really is heading that way.

rDrDr, to linux in Firefox 116 Is Now Available for Download, This Is What's New

Us there an extension to get rid of cookie banners in the meantime? God the web is so annoying.

oxideseven,

uBlock origin has an annoyances check box you can use to get rid of them.

Chewy7324,

Some sites broke for me since interacting with those consent banners is a requirement for working (e.g. playing a video). I don’t remember which sites but now I’m back to using ConsentO-Matic, which denies those consent forms if possible.

heimchen,

You can’t play promotion videos on the LG website without cookies. WTF

Ghostery has a rejection system integrated

rocketeer8015,
rDrDr,

I remember seeing that when it was first released, but I didn’t like the idea of it allowing cookies. Like, I do care about cookies and I don’t want them. I just don’t want to have to click around those banners trying to reject them.

authed, to opensource in Shotwell 0.32.2 Image Viewer Adds Support for HEIF Files with .HIF Extension

Shotwell is my favorite. But I have to admit that I never heard of this image format

Some Sony and Canon camera’s save in .hif as it’s better quality than JPEG while requiring less space. It can also be used for a sequence of images, audio, & video. So makes sense Shotwell added .hif functionality as it’s quite versatile.

I’m happy to see Inkscape continue to get big updates!

I recently got a pen plotter and Inkscape is the main way anyone feeds drawings into these things so it’s good to know it’s being looked after.

Is date for LMDE6 announced yet?

fruitywelsh, to linux in SUSE Announces Free RHEL Fork to Preserve Choice in Enterprise Linux

Dang, Suse really coming in strong with this. I still wish they offered openQA too. Between Rancher, and Suse they really do go pound for pound against RedHat.

laxe, to linux in Firefox 116 Beta Brings Quick Actions in Address Bar, Improves Wayland Support

Using Firefox to post on Lemmy - feels good man.

Having said that, Firefox would be much better if Mozilla would spend their resources on improving the browser instead of random shenanigans.

ourob, to linux in Linux Kernel 6.5 Reaches End of Life, It's Time to Upgrade to Linux Kernel 6.6 LTS - 9to5Linux

For anyone unfamiliar with how kernel support works, unless you manually installed your kernel you don’t need to worry about this.

Distros that shipped 6.5 will continue to support 6.5 during their normal release/support cycle and back port any important patches as needed (or they will update their packages to 6.6).

tun, to linux in Open Source NVIDIA Vulkan Driver NVK Reaches Vulkan 1.0 Conformance

I have been reading news about NVK release 1.0

Only this time I see NVK mentioned as open source Nvidia driver.

schema, to linux in Inkscape 1.3.1 Released with More Than 70 Bug Fixes and Two New Features

I remember fondly using I some years ago. Glad to hear it’s still going strong.

cybersandwich, to linux in OBS Studio 30 Released with Support for Intel QSV H264, HEVC, and AV1 on Linux

Can you use the AMF encoder on Radeon cards with this?

cybersandwich,

I should have said with the mesa drivers. :(

Sentau, (edited )

While I don’t know how, I do know that there is a way to have mesa for most things while having AMF encoder for encoding. Nobara has this set up out of the box so there is some way. Maybe you could search for it using a search engine

cybersandwich,

Does it really? I know when I looked into it a bit ago the main dev for nobara had a video about how to install it and use it but it didn’t let you split that out. You could quickly change back and forth between mesa and amdgpu but if you tried to run amf with mesa it would hard lock and crash

Sentau,

It has been some time since I tried out Nobara so I might be wrong. I just remember that Nobara page lists having amf encoder support out of the box as a feature

Ah! Then like me you can use VKCapture. https://github.com/nowrep/obs-vkcapture.

It's not quite as fast as hardware accelerated, but it's as good as you can otherwise get.

merthyr1831, to linux in NVIDIA 545.29.02 Linux Graphics Driver Is Out with Wayland Improvements, More

Good that nVidia is being forced to improve wayland support. Bad that it appears that nVidia’s code appear to be as spaghetti and broken as X11’s
