I had no idea! It seems like it was a really unruly project to manage, but it’s a shame to lose the centralization of having one app that can configure anything. I don’t see any problem in having package management split off into Myrlyn, but it sounds like Cockpit is much more limited in scope, which is a shame, since handling the edge cases gracefully was what made YaST so useful.
Here’s a source for others who didn’t realize.
Agreed. Fortunately, I don’t see anything about that being planned, they are just separating system installation from system management. I’m fine with that, as long as the new installer keeps the good control over partition management.
My reading is that the installer is no longer based on YaST, not that YaST has been retired overall.
I mean isn’t this just Xen revisited? I don’t understand why this is necessary.
Should be in testing within a day or two, might take a week or more to make it to stable.
edit: this is wrong (sorry!), see replies
Some motherboards explicitly enable wake on LAN as a BIOS option. If not in the BIOS it’s going to be a bit harder, but the software option recommended, (the Archlinux forum link) looks interesting.
Yes, on fedora you just click the check box for the Nvidia driver repo in KDE Discover or Gnome Software, and you’re good.
Zettlr! Its designed around writing manuscripts in markdown+latex, then exporting to pure LaTeX, PDF, or any other Pandoc-supported format via a builtin Pandoc GUI. The only thing that doesn’t work particularly well is the table editor, but they’re working on it.
It is electron based, but almost all graphical editors for markdown + inline latex are (obsidian, etc.) because MathJax & KaTeX are the most mature method to render LaTeX inside other document formats.
Obsidian is also good, but it’s not FOSS and their built-in export isn’t great.
Nah, I’ve had no issues pasting from the clipboard into signal, from either the Mint screenshot tool or Flameshot. Not sure what issue the top commenter is having…
Yeah, mint uses synaptic. Works well in my experience.
No no of course not, but it’s a compatibility layer for windows inside linux.
That…is wine.
…and for anyone like me who was unsure, yes it works equivalently for AMD. I think Intel as well, but I’m not sure about that.
Well, you will have excess solar power during the day, so just keep it plugged in to the solar while solar is available. Then, just unplug the laptop in the evening until you get to 15-20%.
Trying to force the laptop to discharge while plugged in is colossally more trouble than it’s worth.
I would assume that they left the MX off of laptop GPUs, since they’re all MX cards, until recently. Regardless, the “card of the right approximate era” thing should work, unless there are specific patches for your card, which is unlikely.
It seems to me that the offending dialog would only be triggered if you did a full fresh install. During the previous iteration of the testing, they probably had a VM somewhere with it installed; since the underlying packages were already present, the dialog would never have popped up.
Ubuntu 16.04, dual booted on my laptop before I knew how much of a hassle that could be! Fortunately, never had any of the infamous issues.
A new iteration of open-source drivers for NVIDIA cards which aims to work better and be more feature-complete. Original announcement post here which explains a bit better.
Obsidian isn’t open source, but it’s so solid I almost don’t care…
Honestly? I have more or less the same use case, and I use Gnome or KDE and just use super+left/right to do the half-screen windows, and super+page up/page dn to switch between workspaces for fullscreen windows.
Is is the most optimal TWM experience? No. But is is fast to set up, easily usable, and requires no keyboard shortcut configuration? Yes.
