Ah, that's better.

Buh-bye Debian Forky and the heeedious systemd...

Minor dramas involved mind you... when I changed out the 4070S for the 7800XT the DP->HDMI @60Hz dongle I need for the second screen came apart in my hands... trip to the store to get a new 60Hz dongle at some point soon. 30Hz capable cable to the rescue - but hard on the eyes I find.

At idle the box is burning ~1W less - I'll blame systemd for all the bazillion services it is constantly running.

KDE Frameworks 6.27 is officially dropping fixes for KRunner and Breeze. This is exactly why we chose to build the underlying architecture for #lucentOS and #fijiOS straight on top of the modern Fedora and KDE Plasma 6 stack. Upstream moves incredibly fast, and we handle translating that raw performance into an uncompromised, zero-telemetry environment. 🚀🛠️

Modern corporate OS strategy: It tracks your notifications, screenshots your desktop, and then ships the difficult prompts to an external cloud model anyway. It's a glorified middle manager copying the smart kid's homework. 🛑💼

Cut the fluff. #lucentOS and #fijiOS keep your data local, private, and fast.

Fun with NVidia garbage drivers pt. XXXX

TUXEDO OS and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS got a new update for Nvidia and it breaks wayland on multi GPU Notebooks seen on 580 and 595 driver versions observed on a AMD Ryzen 7 6800H with Radeon Graphics & NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile / Max-Q combination on Kernel 6.17.0-121035-tuxedo

So my guess would be the bug is in the nvidia-firmware blob

#MXLinux 25 is tempting.

Currently on #Kubuntu and debating whether going backwards three #KDEPlasma releases is worth it for the MX Tools and making AppImages work again.

Anyone know why using sftp with Dolphin in Plasma is so slow in Alpine Linux?

Using Debian, doing the same thing is like greased lightning.

It's not network, ssh/scp/rsync/sftp command line works wicked fast between hosts with Alpine.

Something about Alpine and Plasma it seems. This has been an on-going thing.

Anyone know a workaround, beside using a different protocol I mean? This should "just work" like on other distros.

France's DINUM has begun moving 250 workstations from Windows to NixOS-based Sécurix and Bureautix, prioritizing reproducible deployments and open-source control 🐧
Sécurix adds ANSSI-aligned hardening and FIDO2 authentication, while Bureautix uses KDE Plasma, Git-managed configs and open-source apps 🔐
