I found a weird quirk when switching DEs on openSUSE Tumbleweed: if I logout and try to login to another DE after being logged into another one. It does not allow me to log into the other one. I need to reboot every time in order to login to a different DE. This behavior only manifested after the GNOME 50 Update dropped...

This is a mild inconvenience, as my boot times are so fast, I often don't notice when I get back into a log-in screen.

There is probably a solution for this issue (as this is a new behavior).

I might have to switch away from GNOME, likely back up all my stuff and install openSUSE Tumbleweed with a different DE.

openSUSE Tumbleweed Lands GNOME 50, systemd-boot on New UEFI Installs

Today I learned how to bootstrap a cross-compilation environment on #opensuse #tumbleweed #opensusetumbleweed

It's a bit messy at first, and apparently not really designed that way, but it works. Now I want to write a blog post.

KDE Dolphinissa on semmoinen puute, että ei voi muokata hover esikatselua, että kuinka iso kuva ja mitä tietoja haluaa pois tai näyttää. Pitäisi myös näyttää siinä kansion koon. Nyt näyttää sen sisältämien kohteiden määrän, vaikka asettaa että näytä se vitun koko. Se ei vaan tottele.

Installiere #opensusetumbleweed, manuelles nacharbeiten ist nötig.

Ich glaub ich werde alt 🥲
