The #RaspberryPi 5 is here and like its predecessor it supports decoding and displaying H.265 in 4K@60fps.
Some of you may wonder: does that really work on a modern #Linux / #FDO desktop? If my laptop fan starts spinning when playing such content, how can the PI handle it?
Here I'd like to draw your attention to a pretty cool feature we just introduced in #GNOME45 - support for YCbCr or YUV pixel formats in the system compositor (Mutter).
Chiming in to say #Wayland is what resolved this issue for me. I had to switch from Linux Mint Cinnamon to #EndeavourOS + #GNOME and I'm much happier with my setup now.
Though I enjoy and am currently using #LinuxMint, I wish I learned about #Wayland sooner. I didn't understand why game performance felt so off with my dual monitor setup for several months. I have since dabbled with an #Ubuntu#Gnome DE for some gaming, and Wayland support has alleviated those problems. However, I plan to look into other options when I've organized my data a bit more and establish proper backups. Learning #Bash, #scripting, #aliases, #workspaces and tweaking #hotkeys were also useful for making my workflow into what it is. Also, I wish I knew how bad #ProtonVPN and #ProtonDrive#Linux support would be. Despite getting used to their #CLI applications, the absence of feature parity is immensely disappointing.
In this one, we have some nasty flaws in AMD and Intel CPUs that require performance-reducing mitigation patches (potentially brutal for Intel especially).
We also have some nice features for #KDE Plasma 6 and #GNOME 45, and an alliance between SUSE and Oracle to offer RHEL source code to the community:
Back on @fedora 38. Debian was pretty solid, but I like access to the latest apps. Specifically the latest version of Firefox, which performs much better. #Linux
I'm REALLY into #anime; mostly into #KyoAni and Naoko Yamada (i.e. Tamako Market/Love Story, Liz and the Blue Bird).
I'm also a #Linux user; right now "btw i use arch" on my main PC, Fedora on laptop - both with the #GNOME DE.
As of writing, I've graduated from my nursing degree, and plan to get into nursing, with a long-term goal of getting into mental health. I can't give medical or mental health advice; please talk to a doctor, therapist, or other health professional.
In this week’s #Linux and #OpenSource News video, we have the new #Ubuntu App Store that will demote deb packages, we have the alpha of #GNOME 45, and #Fedora proposing to add telemetry in a future release.
GIMP 3.0 finally has a release schedule (librearts.org)
Question about High Refresh Rate Monitors and High Res Monitors on linux
Hello, I cant seem to find any upto date info on this topic and all the old threads seem to suggest that these features do not work well on linux....
What are some things you wish you had known when switching to Linux?
I start: the most important thing is not the desktop, it’s the package manager.
