The reason I don’t recommend it by default is that there is no updater across releases.

The official upgrade process is to modify apt sources files and run upgrade, then full-upgrade, etc.

That’s fine for me but it makes it hard to recommend to people who may not be as willing to deal with modifying system files and reading some upgrade notes

I think mech@feddit.org is right, but one other piece I’ve heard is that “unmanaged” desktops make things like randsomware insurance harder

Although compliance is also a concern.

For us, on our Linux machines, they pay Canonical or RedHat for workstations 🤷‍♂️

Back in 2015, I was using Arch on a single core Intel Atom 1.5GHz processor with 1GiB of RAM

Most packages came from binary packages, and the AUR was the exception when I needed something specific outside of the main repos

Osmand~ and CoMaps (fork of Organic Maps) use the same map data, but different rendering/routing engines.

Osmand~ is everything and the kitchen sink. Any feature you can think of, it probably has

CoMaps is just the basics for 85% of people. It’s much simpler, its map drawing is much faster (no lag while waiting for tiles/branches/labels like Osmand), and much faster on-device routing than Osmand.

Just a heads up, you should just need the group set up

That is crazy that you weren’t added to it by default, though.

I was also surprised - you used to be able to modify a user’s group membership through the System Settings GUI. That’s a huge missing piece that you can’t do that anymore

I dont know your specific network topology, but I’ve always been able to use openconnect rather than Cisco’s client

network-manager-openconnect for NM support

Support for higher levels of ARM SystemReady seem like they’re poorly supported in the Linux ecosystem right now.

ARM boards nearly always require a devicetree entry for that specific board.

This may not be entirely a Linux problem, but my understanding is that some of the x1 elite laptops we’ve seen DeviceTree entries added in the Linux kernel are using SystemReady ES or SystemReady SR on Windows

Ah. Open source would be better, but I don’t think AirPlay support is stopping anyone from using Linux.

I’m not sure about Sonos

PipeWire supports AirPlay…?

At least with PipeWire 1.4.9, I regularly cast audio to my wife’s Apple Homepod

Because they’re objectively better on a desktop.

Your compositor should control the window - if the poorly implemented client hangs, you can just click the server-side close button a couple times and get the “shall I force close this?” popup

The only reason for CSD is touch interfaces on small screens. In that case, you still need some other interface to handle misbehaving applications, but they tend to be harder to use, e.g. the removal of home/back buttons on Android

Edit: If you’re trying to improve on SSD, you could consider some model where the client can register some actions it would like to have displayed to the compositor, and the compositor can relay clicks back to the client. In this scheme, the compositor still owns the title bar, but the client can request special decorations

They’ve only been working on it for 11 years now…

Fractional scaling w/ HiDPI displays, especially when the monitors are different resolutions, works so much better in Wayland than X11

I put the curl command to update my duckdns IP in cron about 13 years ago, and have never needed to touch it once.

It’s just worked for me

nvidia has HDMI 2.1 last I checked.

They can do it because their driver (even nvidia “open”) is a proprietary blob

On-device routing and the map rendering is way faster in CoMaps.

OsmAnd has way more features.

If you just need basic navigation, I tend to go to CoMaps

The fucking gas lighting in this response

Google provides more assistance to open source software projects than almost any other organization, and these debates are more likely to drive away potential sponsors than to attract them

“We ran AI that may or may not have found a legitimate issue, and you’re not looking into it for us fast enough. That’s going to drive away new volunteers that we need”

it’s been a few years since medical school, so remind me… Disemboweling in your species… Fatal or non-fatal?

Maybe easier to another suggestion, you’re probably using a systemd based distros -

journalctl -b -1 will show you the logs from the previous boot, so you could check that after resetting to see if anything was logged

For some other ideas to narrow down where the issue is…

If you’re stuck in the frozen state, you can Ctrl+alt+delete 7+ times quickly to tell systemd to try to restart the system. If this works, it means init was still able to process messages

If that doesn’t work, you could enable Magic Sysrq Key (if disabled in your distro), and then use the key sequence REISUB to try to see if the kernel is still responding and can reset the system

Google also didn’t release the source for the 10, so I’d expect the support to always be subpar compared to the previous models
