tf? seems like the article has been completely replced, now has info on hkw there isn’t a defect

I’d try:

• running solaar from the terminals so you get the output log
• checking what you have in /etc/udev/rules.d

dxvk usually uses way more vram tho

oh bruh i ment gtk4/5 haha sry

at least kde has some ui density, gtk5/6 is atrocious on lowres displays

you’ll become comfortable with the cli, it’s seriously not hard.

all you need to know to start is:

• ls (list files)
• cd (change directory)
• nano (edit text file)

then you can branch out from there

I thought Lynx used headless Firefox as the backend? isn’t the old one Links?

that’s mainly because of Wayland’s security model I think, it’s trading a tiny bit of convenience for lots more security in terms of things like preventing easy keylogging.

You can still do keylogging in wayland but that has to be done at the compositor or evdev layer, which requires root access or control of the DE, which makes it more secure. I’m sure you could write something in C to do this though

It might be an annoyance for you and I get that, but your small annoyance improves security for lots more people than you realise. I’m sure you can adapt to not using the script though (I also use multiple layouts and I work fine without a script like this)

yeah you sometimes need to force applications to run with xwayland, for qt apps I think you just assert the environmental variable:

QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb

that usually works for me

All my experiences with amd gpus have been fantastic, their drivers work beautifully and when they have even a slight issue it’s been problems with protocols adoption and whatnot, never the driver.

It’s such a contrast to the dogshit experience I’ve had with all the nvidia gpus I use, I really can’t think of a reason except cuda that a Linux user should get a nvidia device.

I hope when the people adopting Linux now start building their next pc demand for nvidia noticeably shrinks. Or maybe they’d be bankrupt by then because of the ai bubble crash

probably not, I move SSDs between computers all the time and linux always just works

very different story for windows installations though 🤮

is winboat and Winapps basically the same thing?

also that’s definitely not going to have adequate performance, you’d need something like looking glass and that requires a spare gpu or sriov/gvt-g. it’s probably easier to set up with a standalone vm

that might be true, but no one learns calculus in a ball pit

yeah it does really feel plasticky in the worst way

security you don’t understand is security you don’t have. windows’ exploit mitigations don’t work because the average user doesn’t understand them and can easily be guided into disabling them.

the weakest attack surface is the stupidity of the user and that’s not gonna change however much you try to make your os secure

why not just wipe the ssd and put Linux on it? dual boot should work fine, and if you have problems with it you could post it here

yeah you could, depending on if it can run a mainline Linux vm or is supported by postmarketos

you’d just need to port forward to your phone from the router and set up DDNS (if you don’t have a public static ip). same thing as any other server.

I’d highly recommend making the phone headless and controlling it though SSH from another device. it’s way more ergonomic.

my entire phone server setup consumes less than 1W at idle :3

and the “builtin UPS” lasts for a few hours

one of the best things about a phone based server is that it consumes basically no power at all
