Same here, it’s the reason why I kicked Ubuntu off my laptop. They removed any way to choose and made it such a pain to get around the Snap bullshit. I’m on Linux because I want to choose what I do with my system.

I’m on Neon User Edition and 6.0.0 is the latest version. I’m currently running 6.5.0-25-generic.

I’ve been on Neon since Plasma 5 came out and there have been a couple of annoyances like the wine dependency or the background updater recently yeeting my bootloader. I also had the issue with the black screen after the upgrade, though I was lucky to fix it within 10 minutes. After that the power buttons in my start menu were broken (how do you not notice this in testing?) and Konsole can’t be launched from Dolphin anymore. At least the first one was fixed a day later.

I guess that’s what I get for being on a distro that promises to deliver the most recent KDE updates as soon as they come out, but I can’t help but be a little disappointed to have severe instabilities happen on an “official” distro like this.

I experienced that too and ended up just disabling the timed sleep mode. Not sure if it’s actually related to KDE software or just a Linux bug in general though.

PRAISE THE CUBE

and how it works for free?

That’s what I’ve been wondering about huggingface in general. Their hosting costs must be massive.

As for HuggingChat, it’s basically a LLM with web search capabilities. You can even choose the model that you want to use in the settings. Sort of like a more “open” Bing Chat or Gemini.

From what I’ve read, I must be the luckiest person in the world. I’ve been on Linux for 10+ years and only ever had Nvidia hardware. I’ve never had any issues aside from the occasional Vsync annoyance.

I’m afraid it’s terminal.

I voted for the “Half Gear” because I always loved that design, but I gotta admit that the Triangles look pretty cool and a bit more modern.

Word of advice: do not do this to any device that you actually depend on. Linux enthusiasm is all fine and fun, but this will kill most practical functionality of your device. I’d say try it out on a old phone you might have laying around but not on your daily driver.

This app is great, I’ve used it for a few months. I used to hate dealing with appimages, now I don’t even think about them.

Have you checked /var/log/syslog?

If not, see if there’s anything around the time of the crash there that indicates a GFX problem, like “GPU has fallen off the bus”.

I’ve had the exact same experience. The maps are great but the navigation (at least by car) is just not there yet. I’ve tried it a bunch of times and after getting sent off the highway and along dirt roads in the middle of nowhere for no apparent reason I gave up on it.

I buy Pixel just for GrapheneOS lol

I’ve had it happen a few times over the years. It probably depends on your drive configuration and it doesn’t happen with every update. But the last time was one too many for me and I kicked windows off my main system.

I think the main advantage will be that it’s much easier to choose a home instance, because you don’t have to select one that defederates according to your own preferences. It’ll make Lemmy more accessible for new users.

Thank you all for your hard work in making Lemmy even better. I’m really happy to see the ability for users to block instances themselves, seems like it was a widely requested feature.

Yes! It’s actually the only app I ever bought the premium version of. It’s basically a fully fledged file explorer like you’d find on a Linux desktop. It even supports FTP and Samba.

It’s just Arch Linux with the Steam UI and some extra packages pre-installed.

The third one is new to me. “Congratulations” - that’s fucking hilarious.
