Oh its Bellular News. Yeah, he does lot of clickbait. I unsubscribed since 2 years by now.
KDE Plasma 6.3 is a VERY polished version! by “The Linux Experiment” is a video overview on YouTube of Plasma 6.3. There is also a new laptop product in the video, but you don’t have to watch that part (I am only interested in KDE).
I like the focus of improving the little usability things and bug fixing in general. Especially cloning the “panel” is useful if you want try new configurations or widgets without ruining your current setup. And hopefully their drawing tablets widget finally supports Wayland, as this one of the major points they have on the post. At least on Plasma 6.2 this is still not the case.
Looks like XDG Desktop Portal is using dbus and expects it: https://flatpak.github.io/xdg-desktop-portal/docs/common-conventions.html
XDG Desktop Portal uses D-Bus in a slightly uncommon way, due to the potentially long-running nature of some of its requests.
And for the one user in your link https://snoo.habedieeh.re/r/voidlinux/comments/1471jbk/why_do_i_need_to_start_sway_with_dbusrunsession/jnxpxz7/?context=3#jnxpxz7 stating instead using d-bus, would use seatd
, I assume it has compatibility with d-bus. He recommends to uninstall d-bus in that case. I have no idea what seatd can do and if this is applicable to other distributions than Void Linux. So unfortunately I don’t know more than you. It makes sense that some sort of messaging is required in sandboxed environments.
Funny enough I just looked in my Archlinux based system and look what we have, seatd is installed already. And dbus
is also installed.
In short, X11 is a bit unsecure in its concept (like every program can read keyboard inputs you are doing right now). The multi monitor configuration possibilities and mixing different setups is basically impossible (I mean stuff like mixing 4k@120 Hz with G-Sync and another one with 1080p@60 Hz with just V-Sync). X11 or XOrg has a long history since the 80s with many versions, the code base is spaghetti code and its not a pleasure for developers to work on.
Wayland is new, with a fresh and modern code base. It eliminates the security and monitor issues. Programs not written for Wayland does not work, but luckily there is XWayland, which allows running X11 games on Wayland. You can think of like Proton for X11, but without the benefits of Wayland, just a compatibility mode. In Wayland there are sub protocols, meaning standard definitions, that are developed and added after some time passes. I personally think protocols being like an addon that allows doing more stuff in a standardized way across all systems that support it. Developers in Wayland have a much better time working with its modern code base.
Have a look at https://wayland.freedesktop.org/docs/html/ch03.html .
Firefox Translations now supports more languages than ever! Pages in Simplified Chinese, Japanese, and Korean can now be translated and Russian is now available as a target language for translating into.
Oh finally support for these Chinese, Japanese and Korean! Less reason to use Google translate. Edit: Just tested it on two websites, oh my goodness, it works well!
Yes, that’s the exact issue. Ubuntu does that for years. You use apt to install deb, but Ubuntu installs silently the Snap version. The article I linked was talking about that almost 4 years ago and talks about how to stop that. It’s an old issue not many are aware off.
It’s a known and documented issue that Ubuntu does. They secretly install the Snap version, even if you tried to install the Deb package. This is an issue since years: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1345385/how-can-i-stop-apt-from-installing-snap-packages (posted 3 years and 7 months ago)
I use Zstd specifically with tar
to make backups ever since I realized how fast it is. But that is a complete different thing than this day to day tool, where Zstd is not needed.
I have no mouth and I must write YAML
Well I used to use gzip to create .gz
files. But as I use 7z a lot, that inspired me to write this function to get a similar functionality. Only the auto delete original files is not implemented. Maybe in the future. BTW I also use tar
for backing up files with a custom backup script. Want to share it someday too, but never got around to make it usable for others. So at least I’m half greybeard. :D
No, I’m just used to use 7z. As it does lot of formats, its my default program for archive stuff. In example I also use often 7z as file format too (toarchive 7z files
). And to calculate crc32, not sure if the other tools print that information.
If they require weird install scripts you don’t want to install on your system, then do not install it with Distrobox either. For those cases you don’t trust the weird install script, I recommend to use a Virtual Machine; if you really really need the program.
That usually don’t happen. Hopefully you did not lose any personal data. What distributions were you using? I wonder what happened there, that both of your different distributions had a black screen after an update.
I’m glad the big focus on bug fixes since several sub versions. KDE feels rock solid on Wayland.
Basically an distribution that is not a rolling release. Its hard to recommend a specific distribution. You could use one of the Ubuntus, a Fedora Atomic variant, Mint, they should be able to run for weeks without issues. Unless you update a system component that requires a restart to take into effect. Why not openSUSE Leap?
I’m personally on EndeavourOS, a rolling release and update often (even the Kernel). My PC is also on for 24h, usually for days, sometime even a week. One trick to avoid some of the restarts is to just logout and login the user. This should be no problem for you and at least some of the components start fresh due to login.
Then instead to complain the person can link it to other platforms too. I don’t get whats the problem is here.
What’s Linux specific here? Its about FFmpeg options, showing examples of how to use and explains them. If you understand the examples, then you can use it on any platform.
Remember what Bruce Lee said:
