  • I've gone with super terminal heavy setups for years. If I want to dip my toes into a more GUI oriented setup what's your rec?

  • I'm the same, I love using the cli for many things, but it's just no go on my Surface Go 2 if I want to use it as a tablet. I'm using KDE Plasma on Arch Linux, and it's pretty awesome in terms of touchscreen support. I also tried Gnome, but it has a nasty backspace issue in the on screen keyboard. When you use backspace it's like you press the left arrow key and then backspace, leaving half of the characters. Otherwise it's great.

    It takes some time to get everything working right though. I didn't know how to get the on screen keyboard to work (Maliit), which is pretty important if you plan to use it on a tablet.

    Another important thing is to use Wayland, as that greatly improves touchscreen support over Xorg.

    So personally I'd suggest KDE, but Gnome is also really good if you don't mind the backspace issue. Or am I missing something that would fix that?

  • Dolphin freezes with QDBusError when copying a file

    Jump

  • So I managed to solve it. After searching around, many posts pointed to removing the xdg-desktop-portal-gnome package, which would help for other issues as well. This didn't work for me though.

    It turned out I had to remove the ~/.local/share/flatpak/db/documents file. After that I could copy files again. Now on to the next issue where the linux-surface kernel doesn't get signed with my own MOK after the kernel gets updated.

  • Bye bye edge

  • How did you manage to do that? Installing Windows 11 only took me about 30 minutes last time. Installing Debian takes about the same time. And what does a VPS even have to do with all of this?

  • Laser printers don't burn the paper. They require toners. So it wasn't a joke unless they also didn't know how a laser printer works.

  • They get paid twice anyway, if you buy cartridges from HP. This is just a subscription for those cartridges.

  • GNOME Recognized as Public Interest Infrastructure

    Jump

  • I hope they'll ever fix the backspace issue for the on screen keyboard.

  • Solid advice

  • Is the Arch community that bad? I followed the wiki to install it on my Surface Go 2 with secureboot enabled. Is it Arch then? I did update my system in the last 37 seconds, so it's definitely Arch then? Right?

  • Microsoft now pops up a poll asking why you'd want to use another browser when you download Chrome

    Jump

  • I used Edge since the beginning, until they decided to fill it with bloat. It's getting worse than Chrome. Now I'm using Firefox that is still a browser instead of an application trying to replace all applications.

  • YouTube cracking on ad blockers.

    Jump

  • Same here, the only downside is that I'm having issues with some thumbnails that don't show. For example for the Cox 'n Crendor Show I had to find a soundcloud rss link for Antennapod to show the image. It didn't work when I subscribed to that podcast from within the app.

  • Windows eats partitions

    Jump

  • The best way to learn how it works is to mess with it. I have reinstalled my Surface Go 2 numerous times because I messed something up. After leaving Windows I have used dual boot with Arch and Chrome OS for a while, and now I just use Arch including secureboot enabled.

  • Windows eats partitions

    Jump

  • Windows only updates the bootloader, it doesn't touch Linux partitions. After an update you just have to fix the bootloader again which isn't too hard if you know how it works.

  • Android 14 launch postponed to Pixel 8 launch - Mishaal Rahman on Twitter

  • Isn't it more like they want to release it with a new phone release? The beta is very stable to my experience. I've been using it since beta 3.

  • Please stop following in Apple's footsteps

    Jump

  • There still are operators that don't support esim, like the one I'm on.

  • Google aiming to replace notch with under-display camera in Pixel phones

    Jump

  • Don't they already have a solution for that? Not sure about Android but I remember FaceTime having an option to make it look like you're looking into the camera instead of down to the center.

  • "Sponsored recommendations": I pay for Spotify Premium, and yet somehow I'm still the product?

    Jump

  • That's probably because you're not using Spotify. I've been using Spotify using the family subscription of a friend of mine, and the recommendations are pretty good. Still not as good as they were on Apple Music, but hey, it's free for me.

  • after installing arch I'm met with a grub prompt and nothing else

    Jump

  • I think you have to use grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg to generate the boot entries in grub. I just installed Arch on my Surface Go 2 following the wiki, and I also missed that at first. You can do that by using arch-chroot after mounting the root and boot partition following the wiki.
