Nah, I’ve had no issues pasting from the clipboard into signal, from either the Mint screenshot tool or Flameshot. Not sure what issue the top commenter is having…

Yeah, mint uses synaptic. Works well in my experience.

No no of course not, but it’s a compatibility layer for windows inside linux.

That…is wine.

…and for anyone like me who was unsure, yes it works equivalently for AMD. I think Intel as well, but I’m not sure about that.

Well, you will have excess solar power during the day, so just keep it plugged in to the solar while solar is available. Then, just unplug the laptop in the evening until you get to 15-20%.

Trying to force the laptop to discharge while plugged in is colossally more trouble than it’s worth.

I would assume that they left the MX off of laptop GPUs, since they’re all MX cards, until recently. Regardless, the “card of the right approximate era” thing should work, unless there are specific patches for your card, which is unlikely.

It seems to me that the offending dialog would only be triggered if you did a full fresh install. During the previous iteration of the testing, they probably had a VM somewhere with it installed; since the underlying packages were already present, the dialog would never have popped up.

Ubuntu 16.04, dual booted on my laptop before I knew how much of a hassle that could be! Fortunately, never had any of the infamous issues.

A new iteration of open-source drivers for NVIDIA cards which aims to work better and be more feature-complete. Original announcement post here which explains a bit better.

Lol I was trying to play Dragon Age games a couple months ago, and the EA app is so terrible that I couldn’t get them to run on windows. But on Linux in the proton sandbox? No problem, worked right out of the box. 😂😂

Obsidian isn’t open source, but it’s so solid I almost don’t care…

They could have at least renamed it to Radeon Operational Compute method or something…

Yeah for sure, I read your comment as excusing canonical screwing with user intent but I see that’s not what you meant.

That is not the same thing as “snap and apt Firefox are the same”. They just hijacked apt to force snap in.

No? It’s better. HDR just means that there are more color values for each channel. On something like an OLED, that’s more important since the range between white and black is larger in terms of brightness, so to get good color resolution you need more color data.

This thumbnail hurts to look at.

Is this installing a local .deb file or installing from a repo? If installing from a repo, the .deb and the full file path are unnecessary. If you’re installing a downloaded file, use dpkg -i package.deb not apt.

The barrier for me is that I use a lot of apps which require native messaging for inter-program communication (keepass browser, citation managers talking to Libreoffice, etc.), and the portal hasn’t been implemented yet. Its been stuck in PR comment hell for years. Looks like its getting close, but flatpak-only is a hard no go for me until then.

Even after that, I would worry about doing some Dev work on atomic distros, and I worry about running into other hard barriers in the future.

+1 for Mint
