I have a Logitech G703 mouse, sometimes my computer recognizes it as "Logitech G703 LS" and sometimes it recognizes as "Logitech G703 LIGHTSPEED Receiver". depending on which one, it seems to load a difference preset (as in the gaymen lights scheme), and KDE seems unable to properly tell the battery on the former. Well, it can, but only when you click on it, otherwise there's a full battery icon on the tray, even though this computer nor any peripheral besides it has a battery

is it one of those "just me" kind of situation? I've used a VM to set the internal memory up to avoid relying on piper/solaar

sysvinit had problems.
upstart required signing a contributor license agreement with Canonical.
openrc didn't fully solve sysvinit's problems.
The only sane option was systemd, despite any personality issues with upstream developers.
Unless you're running Gentoo or Chimera Linux, your non-systemd distro is more than likely a buggy, limited mess.

Which logs might tell me what's going on?
Happens 0-3 times a day, and by the time I bring up pavucontrol to see if there's anything odd there, audio's back.
It most noticeable when I'm in a d*scord voice call. Only reason I don't blame that shitware is because there's been one or two times where I've had it happen with other audio sources as well, making me think that sound as a whole stops for a moment.

i put ubuntu on my old laptop, its a e5570 with a i5 6440, 8gb ram, and the amd r7. ive had this laptop for 10 years im pretty familiar with how it runs css and csgo, when i join a match in css the game freezes for about 2 entire minutes before it starts working, and otherwise has no issues running the game. whats wrong with it?

Mesa shader precache it sounds like. Because the computer isn't a spring chicken it'll naturally take a bit to precache then it'll run totally fine.

hyprland, or maybe a wayland problem? i leave a steam chat window open all the time and some of the time, just some of the fucking time, it's not actually open? like, it is there, and i can even send messages and those messages will appear in the chat as though the thing is working, but if you log out and log back in, those messages never actually got sent
this is really hard to google because i don't know what the mechanics of this are. something to do with the display server not refreshing the screen..? i saw that once. maybe because of the multiple workspaces?
but it actually seems like steam is closing or crashing because getting out of steam when i notice this requires a terminal command or a computer restart. i'm at a loss

Further shows you it's a steam problem you have.

>>108900861
furious googling suggested to me that the problem with still seeing the chat window was that the display hadn't updated. the advice there was to ctrl alt f3, i think, and then put in some terminal command to force the update. that didn't seem right to me. everything else is working fine.
>Further shows you it's a steam problem you have.
i guess i can just have steam open in the terminal and then just wait for it to happen again.
the worst computer problems, the ones that happen like once a week. it'd almost help if i could break it more so that it would happen more often

I finally did it and switched back to Linux after 15 years. Why? Because Windows decided to delete half of my programs. Already switched browsers and video player. Found alternatives for all but 2 Windows-only programs, which I expected. So far it's going great and everything feels more responsive/snappier.

>>108900950
>with still seeing the chat window
which isn't the problem, the problem is that you see it being sent despite it is not, which can't be a display not being updated.
But good luck with finding this.

given the amount of eyeballs on KDE (steam deck etc), i would have thought there would be enough noise that this would have been dealt with by now.

KDE somehow manages to suck total ass despite having 30 years to get its shit together. It's uncanny. I can be productive in GNOME despite its limitations. KDE just feels like somebody smashed Windows with a hammer.

NVMe refers the interface/bus, SSD refers to the storage technology. But I get what you're saying.
It all depends to how much more wear compiling brings, if it reduces the life span by 1 month then it doesn't really matter. But if it takes away half a year or more you could make an argument for switching distros

>>108901413
>bus versus storage

>>108901453
I already have an HDD but I mount /home to it, while I mount / to my SSD. Ideally I want to keep / mounted to the SSD because that's what makes the most sense, you want fast loading times on system libraries and similar, but can tolerate a longer start time on media, documents etc.
Maybe there's a way to set up a working directory for portage in /home and move the compilation results to / ?

I wanted to use emacs and tolerated some weird slowdowns but my final straw was when I was editing a .html file and that shit couldn't render the syntax in correct colors. It only worked when I re-intended broken blocks but when I re-opened the file again, syntax highlighting was broken again. Emacs is one of the most overrated shit in computing. It is only useful because of its lisp machine.

Emacs is notoriously bad for mainstream webshit. It's also quite janky in general.
I use VSCode to write CSS and Dart.
My mantra regarding JS is that if you find yourself writing a lot of it, you're probably doing something wrong, and I only ever write HTML using Hiccup syntax, for which Emacs is actually the best, so it works pretty well for me.

Some people use Emacs as their desktop environment, a text-centric alternative to GNOME or KDE. I'm not really one of those, but I do frequently use the file manager and the git interface. Give Magit a try if you haven't really found a comfy Git workflow yet. You can start it straight from the CLI:

alias Magit='emacs -nw -e magit'

to this day, emacs is the best bulk renaming utility on linux

you should be fine. a few points;
- i mount /var/tmp for performance reasons, not ssd wear reasons
- it takes a lot to wear out an ssd, more than most people will be able to do. i've used ssd's since 2014 and haven't come close to wearing one out
- if your machine is of limited specifications, then you probably aren't building things more often than you really need to anyway

basically, don't worry about it

There are people that have deb-src enabled in their apt sources but never install packages from source. Just a waste of bandwidth if you're never going to use it.

Retard, sysvinit was the default on pretty much all distros decades before systemd existed, it worked and still works now, when systemd dropped it actually was more of a hot broken buggy mess than sysvinit. systemd now is a lot better than it used to be, and many people seem to not know that.
I don't like sysvinit either, but denying that systemd had worse problems is disingenuous.

And of course, this doesn't even get into the fact that systemd is not just an init system, which is a major part of the problem.

If your GPU only supports hardware decoding for H264 then you can use the h264ify extension to force YouTube to serve H264 videos. Also you seem to be using Chromium but I think Chromium browsers can have some issues with hardware decoding videos on Linux. You could look into it, or you could try Firefox. Then to check that your GPU is being used for video playback, the following package might help (I don't have experience with AMD GPUs myself but there's a similar package for Intel GPUs which I have used):

Not entirely Linux related, but I have a question about LibreOffice (Running on Linux if that's a consolation):
Can I get an overview over chapters I have? They all have a formatted heading and Word recognized them as chapters automatically. DO I need to use preset formatting to designate them as such? How would I insert a table of contents that I can simply auto-update and that also has clickable page numbers?
And finally: if I do have chapters, is it possible to split them into new Files so that I have separate files for each chapterß Right now I have over 80k words and 28 chapters, I want to move froma singular file to separate ones.

On Windows I was a heavy Everything(Voidtools) user, I can make do with fd, I don't mind that it's a little slow to find things, unfortunately I still don't have an alternative for thumbnail previewing.
Let's say I have a really funny maymay reaction image named *bruh*, I do "fd -t f bruh /home" and they all show up (alongside other files, of course). But there's no way to find the one bruh I'm actually interested in without thumbnails, and worse, even if I do know the exact name, I can't just drag and drop the filepath into a browser.
I'd like some assistance on those two issues, first if there's a way to preview said images I found, and another on how to actually paste them into the browser.

Like I said, the results come with mixed files, no i'm not filtering fucking png/jpg/gif/jpeg/whatever, I also don't want to open 500 image viewer windows.

>>108906835
what if you combined it with fzf + a terminal emulator that supports images? i think fzf actually has a preview pane.

>>108906835
>>108906844
>fd . ~/Pictures -e png | fzf --preview='kitty icat --clear --transfer-mode=memory --stdin=no --place=${FZF_PREVIEW_COLUMNS}x${FZF_PREVIEW_LINES}@0x0 {}'
found this snippet in the Kitty terminal GitHub issues. don't know how to adapt it to other terminals though.

>>108906835
>>108906895
a more obvious solution is to grab nsxiv and pipe the output of fd into it

>Consider the trumpeting of Linux. Now, I'm not denying that Linux is a more usable, hackable/customizable, and stable OS than Microsoft Windows. But the masses of kids who think they're 31337 because they've installed Linux just scream ignorance. Most of those people don't know the first thing about the OS they use, nor do they make any effort to do so. Once they install it, they think they're great simply because they don't run Windows. Reality check, kids: You still don't know anything.

I had no idea fzf had a preview panel.
>>108906914
Fedora doesn't even have nsxiv, and from what I saw it's just a simple imageviewer like feh no? It's not what I want.
>>108906895
I remember hating Kitty for some reason but I can't recall, I think it had to do with window decorations on gnome or something. But well, I tried previewing on konsole using chafa (fd -t f bruh /home | fzf --preview 'chafa {}') and everything glitched out while your command works flawlessly on kitty so I guess I'll start using it.
Thank you very much everyone, I turned it into a small function so I don't have to type all that and it's alright. I just have to figure out how to send the file to my clipboard now.

>>108907042
>it's just a simple imageviewer like feh no
yes, but it's highly scriptable. you can give it a list of files, switch to thumbnail/gallery mode and then you can write a function to do whatever you want on the pics.

So why wouldn't I run Ipython as my terminal? I know you replace Bash with Fish and a handful of other scripts but are there actually any python or python-like scripts to switch bash with?

>>108907089
Alright well I'm going to go to bed, just gonna bump the thread before I'm off, but I'm curious if its even possible to replace Bash with a completely different scripting language or does it have to be Bash, Fish, or that other one that starts with an X or Z (I can't remember its name).

>>108907011
This, many such cases with BSD fans

>>108907011
I thought BSD was specifically small and niche because they wanted to keep it that way? I can't really think of any BSD distros out side of OpenBSD... and.... That's it...

Is the Pipewire team ever going to fix the audio crackle issues or something

Is gnome disks repair filesystem safe to use without erasing data? I've considered using it to hopefully fix the mounting issues ive been having on arch distros.

Yes. Have some examples of non-POSIX compliant shells:

Z shell (Zsh)?

took me the whole holiday weekend to setup my server (an old pi) again
moved over to podman after mulling it over

>>108907688
Helps that Podman is a pretty easy drop in replacement for Docker.

>>108907708
for the most part yeah, only had to look for one replacement image and that was the first time I had to mess with building an image since this replacement didn't have an arm64 image.

>>108906958
I'm a firm believer that the main job of an OS is running your applications, so in my eyes, BSD as far behind today as daily driver. Yes you can get ports but they're guaranteed to be more troublesome than native Linux. And in exchange you get... What? What does BSD offer better than Linux offers for *nix systems? Especially for a common user, someone who wants to use their computer for work? It may have usercases for those 1337 H4X0R5, but most people and business want something that works, and Linux delievers that.
As far back as 2001, I dare say that both were a lot closer in most regards? I don't know BSD version history very well, but assuming that they were equivalent once, he may have had an argument. But see, OS's aren't adopted because they're the best, they get adopted because of circumstances. Windows had two strokes of luck which allowed them to ride on IBM's back until it kneeled over: DOS clones and OS/2 fucking at every turn. Linux got wide adoption because it had the help of the tools created by GNU and the actual UNIX being wrapped under tight legal ropes, otherwise it could've been just another academic curiosity "*NIX kernel written by a student".

is there any reason to use fuzzel instead of rofi, now that rofi has built-in wayland support?

>>108909641
Well if you were use to it you might as well just use rofi now that it's worked with Wayland for ages.

hello
i put compress=zstd:3 in fstab and rebooted
but nothing is compressed in files
what do? btrfs should sort this out automatically once i have it enabled yes?

>>108910141
A few weeks ago I discovered that I have the same problem. I've had compression enabled for years and it definitely used to work but none of the mount options relating to it have any effect any more. I heard murmurings that there is some kernel flag that is supposed to be set but isn't, so it's probably some fedora-specific issue.

>>108910141
Have you tried compress-force=zstd instead?

>>108910260
well fugg. i'll just try opensuse then.
>>108910277
didn't seem to do a lot sadly.

>>108910141
Only new files get compressed automatically if they're compressible. You have to run the defragger with the compress flag to compress old files, but note that this will break all reflinks. Oh and btw compress-force isn't recommended if you're considering that.

>>108910691
Technical debt? Considering most video editors are just GUIs built around ffmpeg, making one from scratch is much easier than trying to adapt an existing one that already has a massive and old code base.

Rewriting is bait some times. You're throwing out code that works, accumulated features, bug reports, manuals etc for vague claims about how new features will be easier to implement in the future. Meanwhile, you freeze or slow down development on the original app, which means that it stops getting new features, bugs take longer to fix (or go unfixable) etc.
Some times it's definitely needed, but since programming the first 90% is way more enjoyable than the last 10% (plus bug fixes), a lot of devs jump at the opportunity first chance they get.
