I’ve never had an issue with Flatseal in mint. Out of curiosity, what was your issue?

Some toasters can’t.

Well, the size estimate on flathub assumes that you’re installing every dependency, which only happens if it’s the first app you’re installing with this FreeDesktop version, which is rare. I have like 15 flatpak apps installed, all of which had a claimed install of over “1 GB”, but the flatpak install directory is only like 2 or 3 GB.

There’s just not a great way to predict how big an install will actually be from flathub.

Edit: just to give you an idea, since its only downloading the deltas, most of these “1 GB download size” Flatpak apps are downloading less than 100 MB

It says possibly snap, so we can hope…

You can do that but it gets messy fast and it’s almost impossible to uninstall a DE effectively.

Thats a good point. I think its probably because most of the corporations who fund and contribute to the kernel are American, and coordinating financial and physical contributions would be complicated across borders. Just a hypothesis though.

Jeeeeez that was a lot. I get the sense that the kernel has worked as well as it has because people saw it as separate from geopolitics and so didnt discuss them…now that politics has wedged its way in I feel like it may have opened that door permanently.

Yeah my org is about to ban using anything but the outlook client for email access for “security” reasons, and ban all other logins. We’re on a Kubernetes cluster, so historically you’ve been able to login via Thunderbird or use the Gmail web interface as well.

If they go through with it I will riot.

Um I think it’s worth noting they had only been actually out for a month, and had unfinished firmware, etc.

Qualcomm basically said that if devs wanted to develop for their snapdragon laptops they should buy one of those, but six months after they came out is not a great time to make up your mind about that.

Not familiar with HeliumOS specifically, but for a generic atomic distro I would try layering Python temporarily, and then getting rid of it when you’re done.

Fusion used to work but autodesk changed the redirects in their login system, so it no longer does…

Tragic. Especially since there’s no reason Fusion couldn’t be a webapp or PWA, autodesk already made it annoyingly cloud-focused.

Can confirm that the asusd and and asus-linux work fine on Bluefin and Ubuntu/mint; the Devs dont support X11 (which Mint is still on), but you can build it with the X11 flags on the GH repo and it works fine.

Good question. Odd not to include one.

Can you unmount it? You may not be able to change the boot flag while it’s mounted.

If that doesn’t work, you likely can’t remove the boot flag while the system is booted. Try booting from installation media and changing the flag there.

I think most ereaders support rendering HTML, why not just save the HTML page? Thatd be a lot easier than converting formats.

Yeah, came here to recommend this. It’s basic, but the UI is great.

0x129 (plus turning off XMP) was enough to stabilize my 13700KF for now, and hopefully 0x12B will be the final nail in the coffin for continued degradation.

However, polling users here for experiences isnt going to give a good perspective on how the CPUs are actually doing. Until it’s pretty far gone users may not even notice, and the small sample size of folks who’ll reply here is probably not going to accurately reflect the actual state of the CPUs.

Level1techs has done some really good work investigating this at large scale on datacenters, and the takeaway there is that these problems are going to take a while to show, so its generally not a good idea to buy these CPUs til 0x12B has been out for a few months and we know the effects, at which point Arrow Lake will probably be a better option.

tl;dr if you’re going to buy right now, buy AMD 7000, but if you’re willing to wait til February or so, it’ll be a decision between the new gen of Intel CPUs and current AMD CPUs (only 9000 series will probably be available by then).

The molecular mechanical modeller NAMD and its viewer use TCL as the CLI interface, and it’s…fine. I would prefer BASH or python, but it works just fine.

Also Tk is how most LaTeX drawing is dealt with, so trying to modify, say circuit diagrams or chemical structures drawn directly in LaTeX (I.e. chemfig) requires using some Tcl. Again, it’s…fine. No huge complaints.

Edit: bad memory, the drawing program in LaTeX is TikZ not TkZ, its unrelated to Tk.

I kinda suspect it won’t show up as a normal HID keyboard, I had some issues with that with a Razer mouse/keyboard, I think they did some proprietary BS to make sure the shortcuts worked for actions that couldn’t be done via keypresses. But I hope it does! It would be cool to see.

Yeahhhhh thats a pretty niche product and is basically a HID driver interface, so any functionality would have to be rebuilt from the ground up on Linux. It’ll certainly take some time, if theres enough interest to make it worthwhile to someone.
