Just upgraded kernel on my Pop!OS laptop from 6.17 to 7.0.9. The most pleasant surprise was it didn't break VMWare Workstation 17.6.4 (for once). The number of times I get a kernel upgrade and VMWare can't recompile the module unless I find some guy's git hub project to fix what Broadcom can't be arsed to do.

✨ El cristal esmerilado de COSMIC está cada vez más cerca ✨
El CEO de System76, Carl Richell, compartió ayer en X que COSMIC Frosted Glass está muy cerca de convertirse en realidad.
La idea es que el efecto sea sutil por defecto, pero que el usuario pueda hacerlo más brillante y llamativo según sus preferencias.

LTT Linux Challenge Episode 3 Reaction

Friends, LTT just dropped their latest Linux Challenge video (episode 3). I spent all day editing my reaction since I felt I had a lot to say about this one. I also had a bit of a freak out at the end when I saw just how badly the Linux

The Bryant Review

normally I'm pretty frustrated when #pop_os #cosmic does it's bi-daily complete hard freeze of my laptop

but I was in the middle of reviewing an intake queue for a job posting and 80% of it was fake AI resumes so this time I didn't mind it so much

can some real people that can read please apply

#linux #linuxgaming project update
My mother is beginning testing a #linuxmint laptop as her daily driver while taking notes about issues. It's been 4 days and I haven't received a call about any issues.

I finally killed the dragon and got windows off the new gaming lappy and got #pop_os installed successfully and relatively smoothly. HAving to access the bios form within Windows via recovery because the BIOS was locked out from boot (F12 failed to work) to turn off Secure UEFI was the biggest fight.

Getting the apps set up so far has been smooth. I need to do a little more with some technical side apps for video capture and editing on there.

I need to check in with my buddy rocking the #cachyOS box used for lighter gaming (stock business desktop graphics from 3 years ago) and internet browsing and see how that's going.

There is good forward progress.

Forget #bazzite
I can load up any other gaming Linux. This won’t run. I picked the appropriate hardware config. And it won’t run. Two different usb sticks, it won’t even be read. #ubuntu #linuxmint #pop_os #NobaraLinux just work. But not Bazzite. Not on a recycled computer. Not on a brand new gaming laptop.

Lesson learned. Which gaming Linux distro should I put on a warp drive gaming lappy?

#linux

I've hit a nasty little problem when updating PoP! _OS. The 6.17.9 kernel is having problems on two of my laptops. I lose access to the EFI partition. I working on the previous kernel for a while.

#pop_os #linux

I wonder if a "fresh re-install" would fix my issues here... I guess after another backup, I can give this a try. But honestly, I can feel the distro-hop impulse building up in me... I may just escape again to Mint, or even try CachyOs.

I'm positively sour after this upgrade... as much as #Pop_OS 22.04 was a streamlined, stable, and enjoyable experience, 24.04 feels like a half-finished side project. I have nothing but respect for #System76 and their COSMIC initiative, but this feels wrong.
