But isn’t this something you can tweak within your DE configuration? I’m on Gnome and don’t have this issue.
This sounds like a DE thing than a Wayland/X thing.
Ok, thanks for the heads-up. I’m running it in a local VM and for some reason my host Arch system is significantly faster at downloading and installing packages than the blendOS guest. Not sure why, but just thought I’d mention it.
Edit: never mind, I messed up the first installation so had to do-over, and the slow download speed seems to have recovered this time.
Follow-up question: I’m in the US and the initial installation is taking forever. Pacman seems to be running at just 60-80 KiB/s when I normally get 5MiB/s. IS there a way to have the installer choose a local mirror before downloading all the packages?
Cool. Will definitely be giving blendOS a spin in a VM.
Very intriguing. Is there a wiki or support forum in the works, too?
Mastodon has a major engagement problem and I’m not sure why.
It has significantly more users than Lemmy but also manages to feel a lot less social, somehow.
I use FLAC for long-term storage, 256kbps Ogg when transcoding for mobile devices.
Opus is the best lossy codec in terms of efficiency, but many devices/apps don’t properly support it.
In the video, the CEO specifically claims that the device contains a proprietary AI that can do all sorts of things, when in fact it appears to be ChatGPT with a bunch of hard-coded scripts slapped on top. If that’s indeed the case, then it would be an obvious scam and most likely fraud.
I’ve personally had issues with Fedora’s version updates - once with Fedora and another with Nobara (which is Fedora based). In both cases, dependency conflicts broke the update and they were a considerable pain to fix. It was enough for me to switch to a rolling release distro and never look back.
Each to their own.
Gnome with GTK4 + adw-gtk3 looks far cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing than Plasma + Breeze, IMO.
Gnome lets you do this on the primary display, but afaik it’s not possible on the secondary/tertiary displays.
Out of interest, hsve you heard/read much about VanillaOS and their AB partition system, and if so what do you make of that compared to Fedora Atomic?
Online Accounts only supports Outlook mail at the moment, so it’s not a Onedriver replacement yet.
I had the same issue and was unable to find a solution.
I’d say switch to gnome-boxes or virt-managerif possible - they don’t have this issue with Wayland and perform better than VMWare / Virtual Box anyway.
The installation is the easy part; first I have to back up all my configs. It’s the media machine in the living room, though, so it’s not super urgent.
Agreed. I was enthusiastic about Nobara all the way up until I had to do a version upgrade. If I had to start from scratch now, I’d go with Bazzite.
