Must be The Year of The Linux Desktop!

Except windows doesn't ever actually shut down after the reboot if you tell it to "update and shut down" lmao

ALL MY HOMIES HATE UNATTENDED UPGRADES

Just a heads up, if you're on the 7040 mainboard, I needed to add this to the kernel command line on Debian 13 for reliable suspend/resume. Without it, the screen would just be grey sometimes and not resume

Edit: may also only affect the 2.8k display

Whelp you just described why it won't be the year of the Linux desktop.
- I've never had a Windows laptop suspend correctly, so...
  I guess it's the year of the macOS desktop?
- Depends on the distro... Bazzite.gg is ready for gamers and general users. I have MX Linux, version "ahs" had the drivers for my GPU, and hibernation works.
- Because suspend/resume is a feature so widely used I have went decades before seeing one person who actually cares about this one?
Thanks! Unfortunately I'm on OG i5 with CMOS battery solder mod and all. 🫠
- You walked so I could run 🙂
  I loved the idea of the framework when it was announced, but I wanted to see a couple iterations proving out it was really going to be upgradable and repairable
  Loving it now

Debian getting an update? What wizardry is this? Oh wait it still has a 9 year old version of sqlite.

https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/sqlite3
Package: sqlite3 (3.40.1-2+deb12u1)
https://www.sqlite.org/releaselog/3_40_1.html
SQLite Release 3.40.1 On 2022-12-28
- TIL 2022 was 9 years ago
- And that's for bookworm, which was released in June 2023.
  Trixie currently has, and will likely have, sqlite3 3.46.1, which was released 2024-08-13.
It's what pisses me off the most using Debian.
Set a active directory server with samba on Debian and one day windows 11 machines couldn't login anymore.
After hours of troubleshooting:
ah yes this samba issue was fixed 3 years ago but you didn't get it because you're "stable"
- Honestly I have patched a few debian packages manually before. Sqlite in particular - I needed a new trigger feature so I built the damn thing from scratch and installed it.
  I think doing that probably caused some debian dev to literally die.
Debian has a major release once every 2 years or so. That is when packages get major version bumps. Until then the stable version only gets security and stability updates.

how's the framework?

Not OP, but I bought one at the beginning of the year (with the same bezel color as OP, in fact) and I love it. I was originally worried that the keyboard felt cheap, but once the keys wore slightly (took about a week) it felt beautiful. Being able to move the I/O around has been amazing. I do somewhat wish I'd gotten the 16 with a GPU instead of the 13, but if I'm honest with myself, I didn't really need it (and still don't). Six months in, it seems like it's holding up very well.

this is why I use Arch.

what desktop is that? fedora kde has separate options for shutdown and shutdown-and-update, same for reboot. I think it's a native plasma 6 feature, integrates with packagekit and systemd's special boot mode.

untattended updates are good. except of course if you want to gatekeep hard, but let's pretend you do not. if the pros can easily turn it off there's absolutely no problems with it. and we can. but for real desktop systems, it needs to be on by default.

I use debian 12, like OP.
It has those separate options too.
Dunno. I’ve only used laptops in the last few years so I guess it’s just whoever now.

Framework ❤️

I think that's because of systemd.

Is that what we're going to do today, Kitty? We're going to fight?
- Not here to fight (though this feels like a quote from somewhere). It's just how systemd handles things. Probably it's not the only reason for this, but I haven't seen this behaviour on systems with OpenRC.

Or in this case, the year of the Linux desktop after a couple of years 😉
