I've seen similar errors before. It's referring to what the xorg server considers to be "monitor 0". Maybe your xorg.conf file has an error in it, or perhaps that monitor is unplugged? If you're running an NVIDIA card, you can run sudo nvidia-xconfig for it to overwrite your xorg.conf file which is in /etc/X11 on my machine, note that the X in X11 is capitalized.
Personally, my (uneducated) opinion is that we already have plug-and-play functionality on a program level ie I can add an OpenAI api key to various programs and make them 'smarter'. Since the Linux experience is often pretty piecemeal as is, this would be a solid enough approach for most.
In terms of AI being ingrained within a Desktop Environment, that seems harder for me to imagine... Like how the Office Suite has AI functionality, would the KDE suite of apps allow for cross-program functionality? Would this require a substantial change in system requirements for local processing? Would there be an open-source LLM hosted in the cloud for chat purposes that also mirrors the privacy expectations of the average Linux user?
I understand people's apprehension towards Linux distros seemingly chasing the latest fad, but I think it's also worth hypothesizing the alternative if AI and LLMs are here to stay/differentiate.
LLMs are big, so you either need a powerful PC to run them or use cloud services. Linux users tend to not be fans of either, so it’ll probably take a while before anything big happens.
Besides, for the things where an LLM actually makes sense (like a copilot-style code generator), there are already implementations.
I am a Debian user, and I can't really say I am not a fan of "Big". I have a laptop as my production machine but I also have as big a file server as I can afford. I would not want an AI that is part of my OS unless it is local. I do use ChatGPT and Stable Diffusion, but only for non-critical functions.
Correct, SUSE, the corporation is no longer providing a traditional linux distribution, after the SLE-15 EOL.
openSUSE, which is a community project, and not controlled by SUSE, is currently debating as to whether we have the contributors interested in doing so, and in sufficient numbers, to continue to provide a traditional point release distribution.
Tumbleweed (the rolling release) is not going anywhere. The community has not yet decided if the interest and manpower is there to use the ALP sources provided by SUSE to create A) A traditional linux distribution, akin to what Leap currently is, B) a "Slowroll" version of Tumbleweed, that has a slower release cycle, or C) Nothing at all, because there isn't the community there to support the development of it.
That is indeed the big question, if there's nobody willing to put in the work, then there's nothing to release.
Maintaining something like Leap, with the contributor base that has historically existed, isn't sustainable, long term, especially when the upstream is going in a different direction.
yes, can't connect all hdd to laptop so only using 1 drive at one time in an external enclosure. some drives are portable drives, some are internal drives. its a mix of internal and external drives.
That's a great list, thanks. But what I mean is applications that aren't limited to the terminal / ASCII / ncurses. I've updated my question to clarify that.
Unsure what are those acronyms, but one text-only Linux program I can't recommend enough is ncdu: it helps managing storage in your system, as well as, indirectly, browsing your files.
Generally studio/mixer/DJ audio tools like audacity or mixxx will probably do most stuff like this.
But they might be a bit overkill, I think you could just use two instances of VLC.
Change "stereo output mode" setting, to left on on instance and right on the a second instance.
I'm not sure if this will blend left and right signals before output though I'd guess it probably would.
