Great! It’s good to see they are also contributing upstream!
If you’re not rich or willing enough to contribute to this, the ASUS TUF Advantage (2023) is a very similar all-AMD gaming laptop, a good fit for Linux, at roughly half the price on sale. I’ve been using it for a few months now. Zen3+ cores instead of Zen4 but 32GB RAM and an RX7600S, but with only 1920x1200 pixels at 165 Hz, instead of 1440p.
Just make sure to install a distro with a recent kernel version:
Pop!_OS (best “just works” distro with recent kernel)
Fedora 39+ or derivative (such as Nobara)
Archlinux or a derivative like EndeavourOS or Garuda
Linux Mint will not work out of the box so if you insist on Linux Mint, you will have to install a newer kernel yourself.
It’s good but not strictly necessary to install asusctl and supergfxctl on it for stuff like limiting battery charge to 80% and turning off the dGPU when working away from wall power.
Thanks for sharing your experience! I don’t have a strong opinion about distributions, but just wanted to give some pointers to distros that come with a recent Linux kernel (6.5 or greater) for people who aren’t familiar.
Pop!_OS and Linux Mint seem to be the most recommended for beginners, probably because the net is filled with “how to do X on Ubuntu”. I recognize that Nobara, Fedora and OpenSUSE have an enthusiastic following too and I really think all of the distros I mentioned are good in their own way.
Am running EndeavourOS Sway Community Edition myself, but I definitely wouldn’t recommend that particular variant to people who don’t know what they’re getting into. Have tried to contribute a fix to it but it’s unmaintained currently.
Since i see so much linux talk on lemmy i got curious and watched a video about the common distros. How true is the information in this video? The person hardly describes why debian and arch are just better than every other distro. At least i’m definitely now curious about Mint or something for gaming.
EndeavourOS is easy-mode Arch. You get a liveboot with XFCE and a graphical installer with quite some choices, from a wide selection of desktop environments and window managers to the init system and filesystem. You get pacman and yay, with the AUR preconfigured.
Manjaro is the easiest way to break Arch. It has its own repos which are just Arch but 2 weeks behind. This causes problems when (not saying if) you add the AUR, which is not 2 weeks behind but in sync with Arch main repos. Thus causing breakages due to migrations not happening at the same time.
Garuda is not as widely used as Endeavour and Manjaro, but from those who’ve used it, I’ve only heard good things.
I am using EndeavourOS Sway Community Edition. Was nice to have a starting point for my first pure WM and my first Arch install. The Sway Community Edition is looking for maintainers but I am a bit disappointed by some things in upstream Sway and am not sure I want to stick with it long-term yet. Might try Hyprland at some point.
Maybe this is a problem with my setup, but though I do see a dekstop in the thumbnail, clicking the link takes me to an r/funny post. Could you upload your screenshot in a comment here? @skqweezy
I’m interested what it looks like, since AFAIK, XFCE is still the desktop environment to install on old potato-specd machines. But it’s a lot harder to get it to look good than stuff like KDE, and Gnome
I played the Steam version of the base game, with no DLC. I did not play the Spacer’s Choice “remaster” as it has a reputation for being broken and poorly put together. I played the game to completion on normal difficulty, completing most of the side quests, spending time with all my companions, and trying to get the most...
Heard the same from my partner. She loves Mass Effect, Starfield, liked Elite:Dangerous and No Man’s Sky for a while and, ironically, Outer Wilds is her favourite game now. Outer Worlds didn’t click.
Firefox has a setting to automatically delete all cookies on shutdown. You can keep a whitelist of sites that are excluded from this (the ones where you want to stay logged in). Works great, and no more worrying about cookies, as long as you shut down your browser now and then
There’s not a lot to track in a single browser session. The privacy violation of tracking cookies is that they track what you’re doing. If you set the privacyguides.org recommended settings in Firefox, Mullvad or Brave, the cross-site tracking should be blocked, but deleting them completely means the site will even have to do some advanced fingerprinting to even know “it’s you” on the same site (if not using the same public IP, for example by using VPN, otherwise the IP will be recognised)
Thank you for commenting and asking the questions! You’re never the only one wondering about these things but someone needs to actually dare to ask instead of just scrolling past!
privacyguides.org is an amazing resource, often with links to further explanations of concepts.
If your kids don’t need a laptop, I’d highly recommend just getting them a desktop pc with GTX 1060 or RX 5600 or better. You should be able to find these used at a fraction of the cost of gaming laptops with the same performance, plus they’ll be a LOT quieter.
Gaming performance requires cooling, which means ideally some big chunks of metal with a lot of air going through. Laptops should be light, thin and portable. These requirements don’t mix well.
I don’t disagree with you per se (though Eurofighter and Gripen are good too), but I have to point out that the Czech Republic has been using Saab Gripens for a while now, not US-made fighter jets.
There’s probably some way to add it in bash, but if you install zsh and use the default options for everything, it just works! I especially love zsh for things “just work”: not just tab completion for directories but also having completion for tools like git, docker, kubectl, etc is super easy, and you don’t need any weird magic like in Bash if you want to use an alias with the same completion
Hello! I’m looking to get my first 5 string and I have narrowed it down to the Yamaha TRBX. There is a used 305 for sale for £330 near me and there is a new 505 for sale for £530. Are the extra features worth the £200?
French supermarket Carrefour has put stickers on its shelves this week warning shoppers of “shrinkflation” - where packet contents are getting smaller while prices are not.
But it is unlikely that UK supermarkets would follow in Carrefour’s footsteps, according to retail expert Ged Futter, because the strategy risks “poisoning” relationships between retailers and food firms. “This is a very blunt way of of trying to compete,” he said. “To do that with your manufacturers, it won’t help.”
One of the many reasons why consumer and worker’s rights are doomed in the Anglo-Saxon world: standing up for them is “rude”
I know what you mean but magical and non-magical B/P/S damage is not defined as such.
The resistance you mean is B/P/S damage from a non-magical weapon. Any source of damage that is not a weapon bypasses that.
So yeah, in the case of a needles fireball, make it damage from a non-magical weapon.
I’m sorry for being pedantic. I hate these rules too but this is how they’re written. Pathfinder 2E ends up a lot simpler if you use a VTT (Foundry VTT is amazing, and has no recurring costs).
I’m working on a daemon & collection of other tools and configs to bring better support for 2-in-1 convertible tablets/laptops to Wayland/wlroots compositors!...
This is awesome! I hope it takes off. Don’t have any tablet or convertible laptop right now so I can’t help with that but I’ll bookmark it for when I do.
After working on this piece for hours and only getting 22 upvotes on reddit thought that maybe this community would appreciate it more. TLDR: Viktor left his legaly aquired yatch in Menorca(Spain) and it got siezed. So some upcicling would be nice. this is my rendition of what it would look like.
What a masterpiece! As a recent member, I do “get” the florps, the ERA reference and of course the various drones, both navalized Bayraktar and the explosive ship drone. And of course the HIMARS and Gepard.
But what is the “spinach and mint chocolate” referring to?
Thanks for your addition! It is working fine for me, but I may have changed the config a bit from the default, don’t remember everything. I have default tiling now and that works really well.
Funny, I have been wondering whether I have ADHD or not and from reading this (after skipping over some sections), I think my basal ganglia is the main culprit. I always hear everything at the same time, have lots of trouble listening to someone talk and get impatient but then surprise everyone by remembering what a nearby group was discussing 15 minutes ago.
If the basal ganglia are not functioning properly, individuals might struggle with impulse control and have difficulty filtering out distractions. They may interrupt others frequently, have trouble waiting for their turn, and find it challenging to concentrate on one task for an extended period.
You can always revert (i.e. undo in a new commit) the faulty commit. That will keep the history. This meme is not just about pushing straight to master, it’s about push --force which overwrites the remote branch completely, changing history.
I am not looking to onboard thousands of users or host large communities, just my own and some family and close friends’ accounts.

Seems like storage use is quite intense, and RAM usage exceeds the 150MB that the docs mention too. For storage, I would probably try to use a cloud option (AWS S3?) to prevent having to replace/add disks all the time.
Although it’s starting to look like more and more of a hassle and not that much benefit so far.
I’ll necropost here. I love the Motown bass lines, stuff like
"What’s Going On"
“Signed, Sealed, Delivered”
“Bernadette”
“Ain’t No Mountain High Enough”
Other songs I have enjoyed playing are:
Hysteria by Muse
Runaway by Jamiroquai (but also Runaway by Bruno Mars)
Can’t Feel My Face by The Weeknd
everything by Stevie Wonder really, though “Jammin” is one of my comfort songs to play
But I just started playing fretless so now I’m learning:
“Wuthering Heights” by Kate Bush
"Wherever I Lay My Hat", Paul Young’s cover of the Motown classic
"Gonna Tear Your Playhouse Down" by Paul Young
Not ready yet for Kate Bush’ Babooshka and Paul Simon’s “You Can Call Me Al” though I suppose I could get started with some other songs from the Graceland album if I want to eat the fingerboard.
Any other suggestions for a fretless beginner who loves the “mwah” sound?
