If you are speaking about stock Linux mint Xfce, with the default kernal, mesa version etc., your support for very new hardware - Arrow lake, battlemage and RDNA 4 will be imperfect. In general, very new hardware (launched within the last 6 months) will not be supported properly because the lts kernel being used was written before these products were launched
Yeah none of this is your fault. You bought what you had to and made sense at the time.
Now I’d try to buy a nice second hand linux friendly machine 😇
Do this only if it makes financial sense. Other than the bluetooth issues, your Surface go must be working fine.
Edit : As for your mouse, you can get one with a 2.4GHz wireless dongle/usb receiver. That way you get a wireless mouse without needing to use bluetooth.
Neither should you give up blutooth on linux. It is microsoft’s fault for using proprietary drivers for bluetooth instead of using a card that has open source support (like all the intel wireless cards are top of the line and have great open source support, they could have used that)
I have the b5dd model (with the 5600h processor) and linux support is good. Just find out what is the make and model of the wifi card. B55D came with a mediatek card which had problems with older kernels.
Build quality is average at best and it is fairly heavy but when you are going for a budget laptop, you have to sacrifice something. As another commenter said, if you are not gaming or video editing, you could go for different model with a smaller footprint, and better build.
It seemed more like a friendly suggestion than any attempt at gatekeeping
What sort of battery life are you people seeing from Asahi Linux nowadays when compared to Mac OS? The GPU drivers have matured greatly over the last year so I expect battery life to have improved
Dude if you are able to use arch without difficulties, you can use ubuntu or fedora as well without any issues. And arch should have good support for asus-kernel and nvidia drivers through pre compiled binaries so even if you stick with arch, it won’t be an issue
Seems like brave search has some ways to go before it becomes competitive with the big guys
Cheers man. Thank you for all your hard work on uBlue and all the images. You are doing amazing work.
I would have reported it but I wasn’t sure whether it was a local issue or a server issue and didn’t want to burden you with an issue without the proper information. Also no worries bugs happen and I have seen no group or organisation react as openly and promptly to bugs as you people do. I hope that sometime in the future, you open donations for uBlue so that people like me who can’t code can show our appreciation for this incredible project
This. Be proactive. Don’t wait for microsoft
Yeah I think it is. Especially because the error got resolved on its own. Thanks
What’s weird is that I did not run into these results when I searched for the error. What search engine do you use¿?
I am not using secure boot so I don’t think that’s the issue
Why not have both
At today’s FESCo meeting, we agreed on the following proposal:
AGREED: KDE packages which reintroduce support for X11 are allowed in the main Fedora repositories, however they may not be included by default on any release-blocking deliverable (ISO, image, etc.). The KDE SIG should provide a notice before major changes, but is not responsible for ensuring that these packages adapt. Upgrades from F38 and F39 will be automatically migrated to Wayland. (+5, 0, -1)
For additional clarification: this means that all users performing upgrades MUST be migrated to the Wayland session. They then MAY opt-in to the X11 session by installing a package for that purpose. We are explicitly not providing detailed technical implementation requirements here, but we expect all parties to follow the spirit of this decision when making technical decisions.
You don’t have to worry. The folks at fedora have decided that the X11 session will remain in fedora 40 so you will be able to use X11 if you still face issues in wayland.
Edit : I was not clear enough. Want I mean to say is that the kwin-x11 and other required packages will be part of the fedora repo and people can just download them to enable the plasma-X11 session
The bottles flatpak is the official release so people not on an arch based system can/should use that
Fedora silverblue or rather the ublue image.
I am not a power user and do casual gaming, document reading and processing, mail checking and video watching so the ublue main image provides the simplicity and stability I need.
Dont. Pop OS uses a older version of gnome which has a lot bugs under wayland. It is why the default is X11 and why the option to enable wayland is ‘hidden’ behind the command line.
Instead see if the issue is resolved by turning on ForceFullCompositionPipeline in the nvidia settings
Edit : The option might also be labelled ForceCompositionPipeline
If you have not fiddled with any display settings from the command line, it is safe to say that you are X11.
The ultra 7 is actually a good all rounder. Decent performance (well balanced between gaming and production workloads), good efficiency and good pricing with respect to the AMD options. AMD is of course better for pure productivity (9950x), pure gaming (7800x3d and the upcoming 9800x3d) and is better at the low end (7600, 7600x)
