Przeżyłem upgrade na nvidia-open-dkms 590. Chyba wszystko działa.

Uwaga użytkownicy starszego sprzętu: żeby zostać na 580 trzeba się trochę narobić... chyba że jesteście na Cachy OS, tam ludziki ogarnęli automagicznie. A dla reszty ekipy archowej... też dziękujemy CachyOS!! Paczki w AUR też zawdzięczamy im.

I've not seen works from this creator before, but they've just made the best demonstration of how customisable Plasma/ desktop is - and how liberating it is. Nothing's perfect, obviously, but for me personally, using anything else would be a regression. I've switched to Linux ( too - like on this video) for ~3 years or more now and I'm still so in love with it.

I can make do with - only bcos I think 's the only ones who know how to make good hardware, esp on a laptop form factor (and bcos it's ), but ??? Never again. The only time I'm using Windows is in a VM, for Windows-only things (i.e. backing up my ) or if I've been summoned to update my sister's mods for the millionth time.

Anyway, a really good watch!

@paladin I've installed on two laptops, and not many issues. Install kernel-headers and mkinitcpio-firmware.

, and work like a charm.

does recognize the keyboard lighting on the newer one (2019), but not on the really old one (2015).

On , Endeavour is the only one that has performance measuring widgets working for both integrated and discrete gpus out of the box.

@itsfoss on , coming from . Bugs are really minor. Signal crashes sometimes when opening the screencast portal and I got the top left corner of my screen unusable once after a Windows game crashing under Wine. Beside that, everything is flawless. Most of I do in Qt Creator, Floorp, Signal, Alacritty, virtmanager/boxes, FL Studio and Wine/Proton. I was an user of Wayland before but went back to X to use .

Raz na jakiś czas podłączam dysk z + Plasma I… nie wiem czy to siła przyzwyczajenia czy co, ale jakoś mnie nie przekonuje ten DE. Spróbuję jeszcze z nim, może wrażenia będą inne?
Z zupełnie innej beczki - zainstalowałem na Windowsie, żeby nie korzystać z Edge'a, ale również żeby przetestować te przeglądarkę. Zapewne nie będzie moją główną, ale może być jako taka zapasowa. No i zobaczę, o co chodzi ich systemem lojalnościowym i portfelem.

cr78bw , to Linux in What was your first Linux distribution?
@cr78bw@anonsys.net avatar

Slackware in 1996(?), then SuSE when they came up.
I then tried a bit every once in a while, but really never got fully comfortable with it on a desktop.
A few weeks ago I bought a new Desktop PC, which is now running with the Arch-fork and I really love it.

I'm using with Gnome on my Desktop at the moment, just because I wanted to try Arch with all the priorly mentioned arguments, rolling release, Wiki and so on.

I started with Slackware in the early 90s, SuSE and Red Hat (Fedora today) just for fun and self-education, even though Slackware wasn't fun at all. This distro brought me nights without sleep and full of tears. 😂🫣

I tried a couple of times to switch to Linux on the desktop but never got it to work satisfyingly like Windows with all my private and business applications and games.
So Linux and I had an on and off relationship over decades. I wanted to love Linux so badly, but it was never reasonable to run it on the desktop.
Let's see how we're going to end, Arch/Endeavour and me.

On a server I would not switch from a Debian-based distro, just because I'm used to it and I would also prefer stable instead of rolling releases.

No dobra, EndeavorOS zainstalowany. Nie spodziewam się dużych różnic względem Manjaro, ale zadecydowałem wczoraj, że najbliższy rok będzie czasem distro-hoppingu. Powiedzmy, że w celu zaspokojenia ciekawości. ;)

Linux is a operating system kernel.

A variety of operating systems are based on the Linux kernel, they are referred to as Linux distributions (distros).
