The Linux Thread - The Autist's OS of Choice

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
The other morning I woke up to this.... Super laggy UI. I would try and change volume for example and it'd take 5 seconds to respond. 100% load cycling through each core. A restart fixes it but after a few days it seems to happen again.
With KDE? I absolutely never got that shit to work right. Mysterious problems that were simply too many to count. Swapped to ZorinOS and its been good so far.

Update: my Linux Mint 20.2 install for emulation has been chugging along without incident for about a month and a half now. There are some unusual quirks (i.e. upon booting from shutdown, audio output defaults to my microphone rather than my speakers), but nothing too intolerable.

Question though: anyone know how to update Snap packages?

I'm averse to it myself, but AFAIK snap "refreshes" (updates) packages automatically as long as you have snapd running. You may be able to force an update manually with "snap refresh".

man pop is fucking nice, I really want one on s76s laptops lmao

the lemur is so fucking nice god damnit i want it
I would use Pop or some Cinnamon DE distro. It's just such a shame that it runs on Debian (systemd is a complete dealbreaker for me).
 
Speaking of DistroTube, anyone else here have experience with Xmonad?

I played around with it for a little while and found it rather slick, however, having relatively no problem adding and removing extensions I ran into a wall: whenever undoing a layout extension and then recompiling, it seems to break the defaults for tiling and keyboard resizing of windows. I have to uninstall everything of Xmonad then reinstall to get the default keybindings to work. Not sure whether I'm wrong or it's a serious bug.
