Firefox turns the fan on while Chrome doesn’t
Does this happen on YT? Enable hw acceleration and install enhanced h264ify.
You can move Windows Recovery to C: drive but I don't recall the exact commands. Maybe I moved the recovery image to C: partition. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/reagentc-command-line-options?view=windows-11
Make the download folder read only😈
Installing updates... Do not turn off your computer
Yearly a few million USD. Probably will be ignored by Meta.
Enlightenment is on version 26
I recently tried to compile Crossover's Wine from source. I went through many compile errors, fixed dependency issues and started over etc. In the end I think I compiled vanilla Wine imstead of Crossover (there are different source tarballs) because O365 still refused to install lol.
I used Enlightenment on Arch Linux for a year, in 2020-21. The PC had 4G ram and an HDD, Enlightenment was blazing fast. I could type enlightenment_start to a tty and reach a Wayland desktop under a second with 250M ram used total. E is still alive and kicking.
The snapshot may be mounted to root. In the output of "mount" command, if there isn't a subvolid= or subvol= parameter for root mount, snapshot 166 is currently mounted to root.
I use ad blocker but do not spoof user agent. If uBlpck does not block statcounter, I should be counted.
There are many games & software with no Linux support, not to mention AC blocked games. Increased marketshare could change a thing or two, at least.
Install from computer:
adb install --bypass-low-target-sdk-block FILENAME.apk

https://thestarman.pcministry.com/ This website has very thorough information about BIOS, MBR and other topics from DOS era.
Oh my god
Make sure it doesn't have anything valuable. Use rm -rf
sudo mount -o subvolid=5 /dev/<your disk here> /mnt
This will give you full access to the filesystem, then you can identify the full path of snapshots and delete them ie.
sudo btrfs subvolume delete /mnt/...
In openSUSE, snapper works by booting to a snapshot. "mount" command will reveal which subvolume you are booted from.
What is the app? You may need to install libhoudini (libndk if you have AMD processor) if it the app is arm only. https://github.com/casualsnek/waydroid_script
New driver may have failed to load. Use "nvidia-smi" to query driver status and do a full system update.
In KWin’s new (off-by-default) “Hide Cursor” effect, you can now turn off hiding it after inactivity, and only hide it while typing (Vlad Zahorodnii, Plasma 6.2.0. Link)
Does Plasma Bigscreen still receive updates? This feature would be very useful with it. Arch's bigscreen package is unfortunately stuck at 5.27
My HP All-In-One 20-c081nt has the processor Intel Core i3-6100U, which is supposed to not run hotter than 100C. On Windows if 100C is reached, the screen will fade out and PC will immediately shutdown. A warning will be shown at next boot. On Linux, seen in the video, the PC will simply keep running as if nothing has happened and show the thermal shutdown warning after a graceful reboot.
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.
- Download Firefox Nightly 115. The latest version has crackling audio. (118 at the time of writing) Here is a download link for aarch64: link
- Launch FF, tap 3 dots, settings, About Firefox Nightly, hammer the Firefox logo until debug options are enabled.
- In settings go to Customisation, set dark mode. Spotify doesn't support light mode so this will make it look nicer.
- In the address bar type
about:config
and hit the "+" icon. - 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.
- In about:config, set this value to
1.0
:layout.css.devPixelsPerPx
- Go to open.spotify.com and log in. You may need to change your device's orientation.
- 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. - Hit 3 dots and tap "Install".

Us Lemmings seem to be more interested in memes than the actual thing.
I currently have 2 PCs which dual-boot from single drive:
- W10+Garuda on UEFI
- W10+Pop OS on previously CSM, now migrated to UEFI
I have used dual boot for 2 years and Windows never decided to play the boss and override Linux. In fact, some Linux distros overwrote existing bootloader and put their own in my experience. I didn't have many problems and if I did, they were easy to fix. I even play Steam games from NTFS on both PCs. On the contrary, I heard many horror stories, dual booting is avoided and not recommended to newcomers by most users. How is your experience with dual booting Linux and Windows? Did Windows ever deleted Linux bootloader on updates for you?
