ofc

on mobile platforms nowadays power is more important than data. OTOH for servers bandwidth is more important.

does dial up work over 4/5G voice call? I tested over voip and it doesn’t due to distortions in analog signal (maybe some optimization?).

I’ve seen 10-12W easily on 4K for soc without av1. your soc (intel 11 gen) should support av1. try to play the video on mpv (with yt-dlp integration) with various hw acceleration options to see if it changes. probably your browser is software decoding.

for hardware decoding supported soc too I noticed 2-3W of extra power usage when playing youtube from website compared to mpv or freetube. the website seems doing inefficient js stuffs but I haven’t profiled it.

This. Thanks mate!

Old profiles do not show up in this upgraded version either.

What’s the problem with it? These MIT programs already exists. Anyone can make proprietary version. Including in Ubuntu doesn’t change that.

Also your example is pointless. Canonical would rather make a proprietary pam module instead of a custom internal fork of sudo-rs.

Not recommending software. As you mentioned old hard disks, it is better to copy the files or better dd them on a ssd. That way making index and finding duplicates will be faster cause you’ve to access files once and not care about fragmentation if you dd.

You say KDE hangs, but what component hangs actually? It it plasmashell (other apps work but panel is dead?)? Kwin (windows move/respond to input?)? KDE apps?

I would suggest you to install a distro with kde (fedora KDE edition or open SUSE, not neon) if you’re not confident with administration. Use something like Kinoite for accidental breakage protection, or if you want to keep /home as is, install fedora 42 inplace (the new installer).

Not only my experience but also that of many KDE devs say that fedora KDE is probably the best mainline KDE experience (ignoring niche distros or customized KDE).

Also, don’t use xorg session. Always log in to default wayland session unless you have incompatible usecase (in that case you know what you’re doing).

The real reason you won’t need antivirus.

Yeah I only find this which is bit technical. Anything else seems marketing bs. Seems like they’re making something similar to fuchsia by google but with linux abi compatibility.

Having linux shim alone makes it effectively monolithic like xnu.They even claim this by saying linux shim will hold global state in this otherwise microkernel.

Do you know where to find the HongMeng kernel? I couldn’t find in OpenHarmony gitee.

How to fo that?

OpenVMS: ‘I’m in trouble’

Works ootb on fedora kde wayland.

Is your usb c dp connected to a gpu other than the one the compositor running on? Does the screen show in display settings? Setting different configurations and refresh rate works?

Unless you want to increase productivity in specific field (say some kinds of software development) you won’t even need to remember anything more than cat, ls etc. In those specific usecases you’ll become habituated to the command you use frequently, nobody becomes a grep ninja on day 0.

Whenever I need something mildly complex with ffmpeg or imagemagick, the right command is just a web search away, I rarely remember syntax of these anyway. I find commands less obvious and harder to find for windows shell (technically powershell is cross platform btw), but maybe that’s because I’m not much familiar with windows-ism’

Tip: whenever you encounter a useful command syntax/one liner, save it with brief description. I find konsole’s built in quick commands quite handy, some other terminals probably have such features too. Otherwise a simple markdown list is enough.

Every app is open source if you can read assembly.

I don’t know. But one potential advantage of bsky over mastodon is the data and real account migration capability between instances.

Also bsky is run by a company and overall infra is better than most community instances of mastodon, so people will see better performance and more ad/pr visibility of the platform.
