Zorin OS 16.3 is our first version that comes pre-installed with the new Zorin OS Upgrader. This is the feature our community has requested most throughout the years.

Zorin OS 16.3 is powered by the same version of the Linux kernel as in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (GA). It comes with updated drivers, bringing even better compatibility with more hardware. That includes support for newer components like NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 4070, 4060 Ti, and 4060 graphics cards out of the box.

Depthboot is a builder script that creates a bootable USB drive/SD-card that can be booted on any x86_64 Chromebook. It supports common Linux distributions(Pop!_OS, Ubuntu, Arch and Fedora) and a variety of the most popular desktop environments. Due to licensing restraints, Depthboot cannot be distributed as an iso. Instead, it has to be build locally.

Anyone have experiences with this?

My friend has deployed Phorge for himself and appears to be happy with it.

Not sure about studio quality, but for video conferencing and doing some Twitch streams, I've being using a Blue Yeti Nano USB microphone for a few years (since COVID) with no issues on Linux.

With all the recent fixes and features, Photon is now my default lemmy client :]

Thanks to @Xylight for starting this project and being so responsive on GitHub (I'm @pbui).

It's unfortunate, but the reality is that many of the proprietary services are... free, convenient, and where the people are.

Most projects do not have a lot of funding, so it makes sense to use low cost platforms with the least amount of friction. I think most developers are aware of the risks and trade-offs, but make a pragmatic decision to use these proprietary services b/c the benefits for them outweigh the costs.

Nothing specific in mind, just wanted to get a general sense of how the work is progressing. Thanks for sharing your experience!

COSMIC is looking great! Do you have any comments about the state of the widgets and how those are working?

Alternative to lemmy by tedu of OpenBSD fame. It uses ActivityPub and is actually compatible with lemmy. Here is an example instance:

Same for me (also Firefox for Android).

Pop is not using Wayland yet ... the current GNOME based DE still uses Xorg. COSMIC, however, will use Wayland.

In reaction to the recent announcements by RedHat, AlmaLinux is shifting focuses slightly:

We will continue to aim to produce an enterprise-grade, long-term distribution of Linux that is aligned and ABI compatible with RHEL in response to our community’s needs, to the extent it is possible to do, and such that software that runs on RHEL will run the same on AlmaLinux.

That is, instead of "1:1" bug compatibility, they will aim to be ABI compatible.

Ok, good to know that it isn't just me.

Yes, I've run into this issue recently. The /boot/efi folder is actually its own partition, so removing packages from / will not give your more space for the efi partition. On my recentish Pop install, the /boot/efi partition is about 512MB which is just about enough space for two kernels but... not much else (they may have increased this to 1GB for new installs).

The workaround I did was to simply delete one of the kernels in /boot/efi/EFI/Pop_OS-... (the ... is some string of letters). In this folder you should have the following:

$ ls -l /boot/efi/EFI/Pop_OS-f2c685b9-a9c2-48f0-907b-ebe199e94a55
total 289256
-rwx------ 1 root root       167 Jul 12 15:24 cmdline
-rwx------ 1 root root 134046998 Jul 12 15:24 initrd.img
-rwx------ 1 root root 134449391 Jul 12 15:24 initrd.img-previous
-rwx------ 1 root root  13844192 Jul 12 15:24 vmlinuz.efi
-rwx------ 1 root root  13846496 Jul 12 15:24 vmlinuz-previous.efi

As you can see, Pop stores the current kernel (vmlinuz) and ramdisk (initrd) along with the corresponding previous versions in case you need/want to revert back to the previous kernel. To free up some space, you can simply delete either the initrd.img-previous or vmlinuz-previous.efi file if you are not using the previous kernel. That should allow you to then download the firmware and update it.

After the firmware update, if you want to restore the previous (backup) kernel, you can copy it from /boot back to the efi folder above. Otherwise, the next kernel update will replace it for you anyways.

I hope this helps, good luck.

According to @soller@lemmy.world, they are still evaluating different CPUs... it's just that Intel provides information publically and so they can release it under the GPLv3 right now:

I am using Firefox (115) and I am missing the favicon in the tab for lemmy.world. The favicon appears in the bookmarks window, but not in tab for the website.

I've tried to clear the cache and reloading the page, but the favicon still does not appear in Firefox. It does appear, however, when using Chrome. Likewise, other instances such as lemmy.one and programming.dev also work in Firefox (as shown in the screenshot), so this appears to be specific to lemmy.world's favicon.

This isn't a big deal, but I was wondering if anyone else using Firefox experiencing this issue?

Wayland on Budgie (blog.buddiesofbudgie.org)

The Budgie project plans on soft forking mutter in the short term to implement Wayland support in Budgie 10, but will look into developing their own wlroots based compositor called Magpie as a long term solution.
