No VPN, it’s strange because I haven’t had a problem with any other services that use IP geolocation (which I assume is what KDE uses) - even Gnome’s auto location tool seems to work fine.

Yep, I modded my switch, dumped the keys and my games and went “Now what?” and after playing via Yuzu on my PC I realized this was the only way I really wanted to play the few Switch games I enjoy.
Every now and then I’ll boot into the stock firmware to play Mario Kart with some friends when they want to play, and that’s it.
Looks fantastic! Although, speaking of the Night Color settings - does anyone know how the location data for the auto night color mode is sourced? It always seems to place me on a different continent…
I imagine that is the case, however they could refund it given the situation.
I get the feeling they won’t allow refunds.
That’s Visual Studio Code vs VSCodium - I believe OP is referring to Visual Studio, the full blown IDE that’s been out for far longer than VS Code, which does have a completely different feature set.
Just curiosity really, it was when I first started learning Java from my father’s old textbook. The “Getting your environment setup” had instructions for both Windows, OS X, and Linux/Ubuntu.
Of them all, the instructions for Ubuntu were the simplest (sudo apt-get install openjdk
or a similar package), in order to get the Java dev tools installed.
Ended up giving Ubuntu a look in a VM since I hadn’t heard of “Linux/Ubuntu” (which was also the first time I used a VM) during the 8.04 days!
Funnily enough I actually put Java down for a bit since I just couldn’t get into it. IIRC though, my first project on my GitHub had something to do with Python+GTK. Then eventually I got back into Java when I discovered I could make Minecraft plugins/mods.
Of course I was pretty young at the time, maybe 13 or 14? So I didn’t know (or would’ve cared) about the whole privacy aspect of Linux - that came much later. But ever since then, like many others, I’ve always maintained that Linux is the best development environment for me.
out of the box isn’t enough for a new distro.
I’m a bit surprised that they mentioned “distribution” on the Bluefin website, as the Universal Blue site (the base project behind Bluefin) explicitly mentions not being a distro - and I know that Jorge tends to be very clear that they’re not building a distro:
This isn’t a distribution, you can always rebase back to Fedora without reinstalling. This is a unique relationship between upstream and downstream that is popular in cloud, but still new to the Linux desktop. “Custom images” seems to be a decent place to start since that’s what people call them in cloud.
IIRC, Bluefin uses the GNOME extensions that Ubuntu uses - so yes, GNOME in the same way that the current version of Pop!_OS is GNOME + their own extensions.
What manufacturer? If it’s done through Fastboot then no, it’s available on Linux just fine.
But of course, not all manufacturers use Fastboot.
Sysadmins very commonly make a lot of use out of automating things with Powershell and various utilities that work with it.
Given that a pretty decent sized portion (I’d assume at least, no numbers to back that up sadly) of the Linux user base tends to be “cut from the same cloth” in terms of having the passion to automate (and heavily customize) their system - I would think this is why you see this sentiment repeated often.
As far as I know, it wouldn’t - I do not believe KWin nor Mutter is built on top of wlroots.
It doesn’t target Gnome, it targets Cinnamon - and I don’t think they share the same API.
It looks unprofessional
Often times, projects like this aren’t necessarily going for “professional” - its something the developer has made for themselves and is just being nice to share it and the source to the world.
Also, sometimes that sort of thing is directly related to making sure translations do actually work. While I doubt that was the case here, I remember seeing RedHat Linux for a while had a specific language option that changed the phrasing quite a bit (I believe it was in relation to how one of the devs on the team commonly spoke) and it was done to make sure that translations were working.
Yeah, I wish it had just been theory, I wouldn’t blatantly say something like my original comment if it weren’t based off experience. I’ve written numerous comments on my experience with Nvidia + Linux [+ Wayland] - such as this comment, primarily the the second, third, and fourth paragraphs. Sadly I don’t think its possible to “relative” link direct comments, so I’ve just linked my instance instead.
Since you mentioned it’s a mobile GPU, I’m not sure if perhaps you have also have an internal GPU that is drawing your regular desktop. My friend doesn’t have nearly the same amount of issues that I have with Wayland, because he’s able to drive his desktop with his iGPU and does GPU passthrough to play games through a Windows VM - the 5600X that I have doesn’t include integrated graphics so this was not possible for me.
Either way, if it works for you then fantastic. It certainly didn’t work for me, and definitely not for a lack of trying.
I mean, you started your comment by saying “Wayland apologists” - I’m not sure why you thought it would go over just fine.
Which is unfortunate that you did, the Linux community already has quite a bit of hate for Nvidia (for good reason) but comments like these tend to just make people who use Nvidia hardware look bad. I say this as someone who made the exact same position on the argument (so to speak) in a similar thread a few days ago.
As someone who just had to shell out the money to do a lateral move from an Nvidia 2080 to a RX 6700XT - don’t go with Nvidia if you’re wanting to have a good time.
Yes. X11 these days usually auto-configures on its own (to my understanding, at least) - when you generate one with Nvidia’s settings it will add some stuff that is specific to the Nvidia driver, and thus once the card/drivers isn’t present, then X11 can’t start.
I had removed the drivers before swapping out the card in preparation, so I’m not 100% sure if said proprietary extensions doesn’t load because of the lack of drivers, or the lack of the card itself - probably both to be honest.
But either way, X11 wasn’t affected by the removal of the custom config, and there wasn’t ever one present until I made one via nvidia-settings
(other than, it started working of course).
Aside from removing /etc/X11/xorg.conf
because I had generated one via Nvidia’s XServer settings - nope! The custom config there did prevent X from loading properly, switched to a tty to delete the config, restarted, and was perfectly fine afterwards.
Wow, that looks stunning! I am no where near skilled enough to be able to even begin wrapping my head around making a compositor, even with a library - but I do know that like the other commenter mentioned we certainly need more libraries aside from the two that we currently have (but I understand why that’s a very tall order) so major props to you!
I hate how installing or removing (or even updating) a flatpak causes the whole software center to completely refresh, and it doesn’t keep its state so if you were in the middle of a search or scrolled down through a category… say goodbye to it.
