Statt mit live USB rumzuüben, kannst auf distrosea.com (unbedingt einen guten adblocker nutzen) so einige live distro‘s direkt im browser testen ohne dafür immer wieder ein iso auf den usb zu brennen
@etebur
I tried out standard notes but didn‘t met my expectations so deleted again, right now looking in joplin as well as I like the option to E2EE it to onedrive/nextcloud or others and it has ios and linux apps
Well f*ck me, RHEL 9 finally got rid of NIS. I think I knew this was coming but that was so far in the future, I had plenty of now problems to deal with. They are right, NIS is not at all secure for user auth. Great. I don't use NIS for that anymore. I use NIS for groups, netgroups, and automount maps, especially automount maps. I'm not worried about security for those. Might be time to finally develop a replacement to those bits of NIS and retire NIS like I've been contemplating.
@kalpa@thaodan Thanks. I did not know that was a thing. I'll add that to the things I check out. This project is literally something that sprang out of some work I was doing this afternoon so there has been zero work or planning done so far. It is proving to be a potentially very interesting project so i have that going for me.
@linuxiac This is perfectly normal for Tumbleweed, it happens any time any major foundational package updates, and is accepted. Yes, the xz mitigation was the cause of it this time, but this isn't that uncommon. glibc updates, for instance, are a very common reason for large update snapshots of Tumbleweed.
@archer72 I kinda like date --iso-8601, which will output '2024-03-31' for today (but of course without the same precision you used).
I find this format much easier to read and it's automatically sorted correctly when you look at a lot of files. 🙂
If I need to be more precise, I usually go with date +%Y-%m-%d-%H%M%S.
In lots of #linux distro reviews people dedicate some amount of time to wallpapers... like it is a vital part of an OS.... For god's sake, how many of you use default wallpapers and not downloading/setting up your fav custom one? 😅 Why not use that time for really important features instead? 🥺
Plasmashell inverts(flips?) screen after running a game? (X11/Plasma 6)
Hi, I'm using nvidia drivers. FOr whatever reason at times Plasmashell would get "cute" and flip the screen to the point I just run plasmashell --replace and everything goes back to normal...
I get that as well. As far as I understand it, and someone is welcomed to correct or expand on any of this - this is because when you play a game (primarily when using gamemoderun), it disables your compositor. When you exit the game, it kicks the compositor back on. I have no idea why it has issues on coming back on, seems to be related to Nvidia in X11.
Some things that I’ve found that help is disabling the compositor (Alt+Shift+F12)
After doing that, I try to maximize and un-maximize any windows I still have up, then re-enable the compositor with the same shortcut.
Realistically, your plasmashell solution is great. Theoretically, Wayland shouldn’t have this issue, but I know Wayland comes with its own issues with Nvidia.
I'm a nerd and always have been. I honestly cannot remember where I first came across Linux but I was interested to try it out as soon as I heard about it back in the 90s
