Much appreciate all the #Linux help yesterday. It turns out at least some of the problem was trying to dual boot so have spent all yesterday evening and all this morning shifting stuff from my desktop to my external drive or Nextcloud so I can just wipe it entirely.

I am looking for some kind of VM or system I can run to create a network that I can put an untrusted device on to and allow/deny all its connections one by one - think auditioning a new TV or IOT device rather than out-and-out hostile malware. Assume I will also dump packets for investigation.

Security Onion looks like overkill but I'd like to avoid writing my own firewall rules if possible.

I can't use #Wayland with my #Linux system. Performance is terrible.

I have a 2021 Lenovo P17Gen1.
It has both an Intel P630 and NVIDIA RTX3000 Mobile GPU, running as a Prime pair.
It has a 4K eDP display, and two LG 4K displays, one connected via USB-C, and one via DP, via a TB3 Dock, all running at 60Hz.
It has 128GB of RAM, and 4TB of striped BTRFS SSD.
I am running the latest #Hyprland.

I tried running on #Arch, which cut the frame rate worse than half ANY time I connected an external 4K display ANYWHERE on either the laptop, or dock, DP, or USB-C. It refused to work via HDMI.

Switched to #Ubuntu and use Koolit's #Ubuntu installer for Hyprland. Performance is close to 60fps, but not quite. Stutters, and OBS runs at an average of 10fps, regardless of whether #PipeWire is in use, or not. Unusable.

I have been a #Linux user since September of 1991, and I can't even begin to know where the F**K to go to even diagnose this problem, due to the sheer number of variables.

Is it the NVIDIA drivers?
Is it Wayland?
Is it Hyprland?
Is it Pipewire?
Why is the performance better on #Ubuntu than on #Arch?
If I were to use Wayland, what COMPARABLE GPU would I use instead?
Do I just completely jettison using a laptop and build a workstation instead?
Why in the flying F**K can I not get stable vsync?!

I am posting this, because I am genuinely looking for knowledgable answers from knowlegable people, and I am _VERY_ concerned, that given the mass exodus from Xorg to Wayland, that I need to figure out something before I end up with a system configuration that is unusable.

When and how to use benchmarking in your project, why it’s hard, and why optimising your code can be even harder.

@stefano I had no problem with 24.10 as a starting point. Switched to Kubuntu and upgraded to 25.04. Repeatedly (using VirtualBox for most tests).

I recently tested, repeatedly, the ability to recover after aggressively resetting the VM during an offline system update. A simple command successfully repaired things (online).

What's pictured is recommended on Linux, should not be set on FreeBSD.

KDE settings for software update, recommending application of system updates after rebooting – to maximise stability.

I tried tuning various parameters but after some reading came to the conclusion that lots of small files with very little RAM is about the worst case scenario for XFS.

My #gpn23 talk about Linux + Go self-hosting seems to be well-received! ❤️

https://cfp.gulas.ch/gpn23/talk/U8D9KR/ if you missed it and want to catch up on the recording or slides :)

It covers the entire spectrum, starting from a Raspberry Pi (with my very own https://gokrazy.org/!) to Mini-servers running #NixOS 🚀

Someone commenting on BuyMeACoffee: Thanks for your recent talk about gokrazy and your smart home setup. It has not only inspired me to look at gokrazy again, but has also renewed my love for Raspberry Pi's again.

So this is going really well...

Now also getting "init: line 38: can't cope dev/sr0: no medium found" in repeat. All I did was hit boot from usb. I hadn't event chosen any of the options after that.

Now "unable to find a medium containing a live file system"

Wayland or X11: What are you using, and how's it treating you?

"This Week in Plasma" brings the news that QtQuick-based KDE software acquires inertial scrolling using touchpads, the inbuilt RDP service supports syncing clipboard text between client and server, and session restore (Plasma remembering the position and size of windows) is coming to Wayland, among many other things:

Tech Bros weren't drafted into the fascist coup, they volunteered.

Delete windows, get a non google, non apple phone, drop twitter, delete Facebook, install linux, use blockers.

You may have ignored tech bro spying and control before, but now your life and family and country is at stake.

Heya folks! It's sync day, and that means it's time for the weekly Solus roundup!

I am slowly oxidizing my unix CLI. A lot of people have made rust based versions of common unix utilities and some of them are REALLY good.

Like fd-find for doing essentially find . -name blah. And rg (ripgrep) which does grep -R but it's aware of git, files like pyc or .bak files, and it excludes them by default.

Now I have sd which is hopefully replacing the last thing I used perl for. I write perl -pi -e s/x/y/g a lot. Just doing a quick string replace inside a file. So sd can start doing that.

I'm also trying to get used to zellij instead of tmux and starship for modern prompt decorations like the kids do.

These kids, my friends, are welcome on my lawn.

Does anyone know of a piece of software which enables someone to boot up their decentralised instance(s) through an easy to follow webgui ?
Think of something like UmbrelOS, CasaOS or even TrueNAS with a focus on decentralised projects, like the Fediverse we have here, Matrix and others.

Ever wondered about something?
Whether it’s how things work at Star Labs, questions about our products, or just some cool Linux tips, we’re all ears.

Drop your thoughts in the comments, we’d love to chat and maybe take a closer look at it in a video.

How it started: (late 2018)
"You know, I think I'll buy a used ThinkPad and put Linux on it. Just a really basic, distraction-free writing machine! I'll still have my Macbook Air as my main machine."

How it's going:
"OH MY GOODNESS, YES, buy ANOTHER used thinkpad! MOAR LINUX! MOAR COMMAND-LINE!! MAXIMUM DISTRACTEDNESS!!!" (bounces off the walls)
