Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft just paused Windows 11 24H2 update for many PCs due to crashes and freezesEnglish
91·1 year agoCrashing is the smallest problem. All that sypware, ads and artificial idiocy they are embedding in the bloated excuse of an OS is way worse than any crash. I am so glad I switched to GNU/Linux (openSUSE Tumbleweed with KDE Plasma desktop, after seeing how well gaming works on Steam Deck I also switched to GNU/Linux for gaming) and it is so so much nicer to have an OS that is fast, stable and actually respects basic human rights like privacy and freedom.

Technology@lemmy.world•Google creating an AI agent to use your PC on your behalf, says report | Same PR nightmare as Windows RecallEnglish
18·1 year agoThese GAFAM/BigTech corporations really are in a tough and fierce competition of which one is the shittiest and most privacy-invading don’t they. Ensittification overdrive mode in all of them.
KDE Plasma desktop and apps also have a Kiosk mode/framework for deployment and lockdown built-in, that can come in handy
Kiosk - Simple configuration management for large deployment
The Kiosk framework provides a set of features that makes it possible to easily and powerfully restrict the capabilities of a KDE environment.
Introduction
The Kiosk framework provides a set of features that makes it possible to easily and powerfully restrict the capabilities of a KDE environment based on user and group credentials. In addition to an introductory overview, this article covers configuration setting lock down, action and resource restrictions, assigning profiles to users and groups and more.

I use the testing ebuilds system-vide.
Installed on my openSUSE Tumbleweed and Gentoo computers and so far Plasma 6.2 working great 👍
Anyone else having the problem with the new kernel that graphics in games/benchmarks is quite a lot slower (about 15-20%) then with older kernel (I used 6.10.7 before I upgraded). This is with Powercolor Hellhound AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE? Even Einstein@Home GPU tasks take about 20% longer now (28 min with previous kernel to about 34 min now).

Technology@lemmy.world•We found the Missing Performance: Zen 5 Tested with SMT DisabledEnglish
17·2 years agoOr they just found out that Windows process scheduler is still broken beyond repair. If you look at the benchmarks on GNU/Linux performance is all there. For example see Phoronix benchmark
Yup still exists. It is also available in KDE Help Center. And you can quickly jump to a man page you typing “#man” into KRunner.
Yup I agree, openSUSE Tumbleweed with KDE Plasma desktop is just awesome. my favourite distro at this moment,
Bash is my favourite one, second to it being Fish
Yeah the driver supporting LEDs and exposing them should be installed. The exposed LEDs can be found in
/sys/class/leds/<device>/multi_[index|intensity], See Linux kernel documentation for details: LED handling under Linux and Multicolor LED handling under Linux

Linux@lemmy.ml•AMD Hiring To Improve Their Linux Driver/ROCm Installation Process Across DistributionsEnglish
33·2 years agoOne way of greatly improving ROCm installation process would be to use the Open Build Service which allows to use the single spec file to produce packages for many supported GNU/Linux distributions and versions of them. I opened a feature request about this.
Most of them are C++/Qt there is also a lot of QtQuick/QML code which can do a lot and is very similar to ECMAScript, so maybe that would be a great start for someone coming from webdev.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Are AMD laptop discrete gpus good in linux?English
3·2 years agoMy friend has one (if I remember it it a Slimbook or Tuxedo laptop) and as far as he told me it is flawless (well almost). My next laptop will for sure be a KDE CPU+GPU one. I hear good things about the combo and if it is any similar to desktop AMD GPU support I will be happy.

1·2 years agoNo wonder. all GAFAM is a spyware surveillance capitalism mafia and they work together. If you really want to THINK different you need to look into libre and opensource software like GNU/Linux and the likes.
