AUR packages tend to break more often compared to repos ie. anything on AUR that utilizes python needs to be rebuilt if system python is updated.

Yes, iGPU can use system RAM

What is kwin_wayland_wr? Also do you really have 6 GiB RAM installed? If not you may be able to reclaim some of it via UEFI if the RAM is assigned to iGPU.

Happens since Plasma 6, I don't use systemmonitor anymore because its CPU usage confuses me when monitoring CPU load. afaik monitoring apps work by polling so even though the app appears to have high CPU usage it actually spends most of it time waiting for next polling time.

I just want to buy a Linux laptop with VoLTE and be done with the product line "smart phone". Unfortunately there is no such device (to my knowledge) and the only device that comes close is PinePhone Pro with docking station.

I fully agree with the author but I was shocked when I saw iPhone 6S. Things were bad even back then?

I'm on a different level, I didn't know the term incel, I had to look it up. Whether I am (an?) incel is debatable (EDIT: The term is more specific than I thought so the answer is no) but this thread definitely goes straight to mt collection. This is the type of content that makes me love Lemmy.

Nvidia, fix power management on open drivers. Then we are talking.

Linux: Terminal hacking, downloading shell scripts from github

I will stop using Linux / PC for 10 months. What do you think will happen in that period? (lemmy.world)
 

Long story short, this year is my exam preparation year and due to my nature I will take extreme measures to prevent distraction and focus on studying. I will decommision my PC, stop browsing Linux & tech related websites and leave this beautiful place called Lemmy. To make things clear, I am not influenced by anyone for doing this.

I want to use this post as a time capsule to revisit after 10 months, so I will write my predictions and also collect everyone's. What do you expect to see in Linux and tech scene in 10 months from now? Here are my predictions:

  • Pop OS 24.04 will be awesome and be the go-to recommendation when it is released
  • SteamOS for PCs will not be released yet
  • Linux market share will be around %2-2.5 in Steam hardware survey
  • Plasma 6 will be released around January and will be a bit buggy, but most rough edges will be smoothed by the next release in 3-4 months
  • NVK will have performance parity with official drivers in certain configurations
  • Wayland will gain wider adoption, even on Nvidia
  • There will be little to no progress in compatibility with current anti-cheat blocked games

Side note:

  • Web environment integrity will be adopted only in education industry because it is dominated by Chromebooks at least in US. It will not be adopted by streaming services because highest level of DRM is only available on Edge and Safari. Even if Chrome had WEI support it would be meaningless because Netflix will stream 720p / 1080p anyways. MSFT and Apple will not implement WEI in their browsers in order to preserve the end-to-end control they have currently. Banks will also not implement WEI because they may be still serving customers using legacy (Windows 7) technology or simply using Firefox.

How to add Spotify desktop web player as a web-app (lemmy.world)
 
  1. Download Firefox Nightly 115. The latest version has crackling audio. (118 at the time of writing) Here is a download link for aarch64: link
  2. Launch FF, tap 3 dots, settings, About Firefox Nightly, hammer the Firefox logo until debug options are enabled.
  3. In settings go to Customisation, set dark mode. Spotify doesn't support light mode so this will make it look nicer.
  4. In the address bar type about:config and hit the "+" icon.
  5. Set these parameters for new value:
  • Name: general.useragent.override
  • Type: String
  • Value: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:115.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/115.0

This step is necessary if you want to make a web app, otherwise you can use "request desktop website" option.

  1. In about:config, set this value to 1.0: layout.css.devPixelsPerPx
  2. Go to open.spotify.com and log in. You may need to change your device's orientation.
  3. Find the ideal value for layout.css.devPixelsPerPx. You can use float values like 1.22 and values lower than 1. Larger values will make everything bigger but the interface may not fit or the website may crash, smaller values will make everything tiny.
  4. Hit 3 dots and tap "Install".

Here is how it looks like on my phone: https://imgur.com/a/CpiheUT
