Jure Repinc@lemmy.mlto Linux@lemmy.ml•This Week in Plasma: The beginnings of Wayland session restoreEnglish3·2 months agoOh yeah. Can’t wait for this. Bad session management/restore is basically the only major thing I still miss a lot on Wayland. Hopefully Firefox and other apps will gain support for this soon (I guess all Qt/KDE apps will get support at once when they also add support to Qt and KDE Frameworks). Anyways I just opened the enhancement request for Firefox for this just hoping they will add support soon.

Jure Repinc@lemmy.mlOPto RISC-V@lemmy.ml•RISC-V With Linux 6.15 Adds Support For BFloat16 "BF16" Instructions [and more]English4·3 months agoI would guess these are for device-tree specifications and run-time detection of what extensions some RISC-V CPU supports. Also might be some support for using these extensions in some common kernel code that is used by other parts of the kernel. But to be sure we would need to check the commits themselves.
Well as they mention it, they do know.

My BananaPi BPI-F3 gets about 80% higher score than with previous version of Geekbench.
Jure Repinc@lemmy.mlto Linux@lemmy.ml•Fedora KDE Desktop promoted to an Edition, same as Fedora WorkstationEnglish2·7 months agoYeah, most newcomers don’t even know about the spins and labs since they are quite hidden. So this is a great thing for getting Fedora KDE Spin on an equal footing in visibility and promotion.
Jure Repinc@lemmy.mlto KDE@lemmy.kde.social•Fedora KDE Spin will be upgraded to Edition statusEnglish4·7 months agoYeah they are more visible/promoted and offered for downloads on the same equal level as other editions. Otherwise spins and labs can be quite hidden from peopel who do not know they exist.

Jure Repinc@lemmy.mlto Fuck AI@lemmy.world•Meta is pushing for the government to use its AIEnglish2·8 months agoAnd even if you are paying for it… Unless the product is opensource and free as in freedom so you can for example self-host it, study the code, change the code (or contract someone else to change it for you) so the product runs just as you want.
Jure Repinc@lemmy.mlto Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Yet another "What distro should I use?" post, but at least I did some homework.English4·8 months agoI am also gaming a lot and used nvidia in the past and by the description you give I would say openSUSE Tumbleweed is the one. It is rolling release, but they also have extensive QA tests before letting packages get released as updates so it is very stable for a rolling release. And another thing that openSUSE is awesome for is that they have BTRFS snappshotting very nicely configured out of the box so before and after each update it creates a snappshot and if something goes wrong you can just select an old working snappshot from GRUB boot menu. And with Nvidia this breakage was happening well more often the I would like. I also like their Open Build Service where you can find many additional packages which might not be packaged by distro people themselves.
Jure Repinc@lemmy.mlto Gaming@lemmy.zip•Steam games will now need to fully disclose kernel-level anti-cheat on store pagesEnglish9·8 months agoThey do give a refund for this. I got it after they added it to EA Sports WRC. Explained to them that it was not in the original contract and that it prevents me using the product I licensed on Steam Deck and GNU/Linux and they refunded me.

Jure Repinc@lemmy.mlto Games@sh.itjust.works•Former Disco Elysium Devs Embrace Worker/Player-Owned Structure To Bring ‘True Democracy’ To Game Development.English10·8 months agoAgree and hope it brings even better GNU/Linux gaming support, as it is the OS that is in this democratic users/people owned operating system, just as other free as in freedom and opensource collaborative software. In this regard Valve does quite a very good job of improving and sponsoring GNU/Linux, Mesa drivers KDE and other opensource projects. What all other gaming companies fail terribly at. What comes after Valve must be even better at it.

On openSUSE they have snapper snapshotting integrated into package management, so it automatically creates a snapshot before and after updates. And if something would go wrong you could easily select an old snappshot to boot from in the GRUB menu.
