You are not new to lemmy, it says you registered a year ago, but is this the first time you meet a comment with license info? You are one of today’s lucky 10000.
I’ve seen this on multiple users, usually it’s some anti ai license. Like the laws stopped facebook from torrenting copyrighted books, an anti ai license will stop the next ai startup scraping the fediverse.
I remember a lot of things were not working. For example I was a GNU screen user, and no terminal multiplexer could work at that time in WSL1. They added support to tmux after a while and I switched to that and never switched back, rest is history…
The point is just like how not everything working ootb in wine, the same is true for the other direction.
They would have to invest more work which costs money, but if they just ship the linux kernel, which is already written, and the users already bought big ssds and have highspeed internet, so they could just use that for free, it makes more sense, and makes more money to the shareholders
WSL2 is just a vm, WSL1 worked like wine, but reversed, only the name is similar, nothing else (classic microsoft…)
According to arm it’s working: https://learn.arm.com/learning-paths/laptops-and-desktops/wsl2/ We could virtualize different architectures for ages, nothing special here. But I guess they can ship a kernel built for arm.
About these new laptops, I have no experience yet, but eagerly waiting for them to have usable bare metal linux support. Ubuntu supports development for them, some of them are already bootable, more info here: https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/ubuntu-24-10-concept-snapdragon-x-elite/48800
What is PT?
I remember similar things happened to me when I fiddled some with settings which could be set up both on the DE and also on the system level. So I guess something similar happens here.
Does it already reset if you are on the login screen, or if you open a tty?
On the ArchWiki page on Xorg keyboard config there is a big warning:
Note: XKB options can be overridden by the tools provided by some desktop environments such as GNOME and Plasma.
I just became the maintainer of the AUR package of ibus-uniemoji, please comment there if it’s still not working for you. I also updated to the new upstream version, it looks much better than on the gif.
It wasn’t clear for me what the hell is a “Global Shortcut” I heard the term first time in my life, I found the answer in the upstream PR:
It’s designed so that applications can register actions that can be triggered globally (i.e. regarless of the system’s state, like focus).
It’s strange it wasn’t possible until now, or the main thing it’s now DE independent?
On Gnome I use Run or raise extension, and with this I can run or switch to running apps with global shortcuts, so this was definitely working from Gnome extensions.
But the required config changes can affect those as well.
Like last week I had to change repositories in pacman.conf. It also affected endeavour, as it doesn’t have separate repos: https://archlinux.org/news/cleaning-up-old-repositories/
This mkinitcpio config change should have effected all Arch based distros: https://archlinux.org/news/mkinitcpio-hook-migration-and-early-microcode/
XP to Vista is a wrong comparison, as Vista changed the driver system, and on a lot computers it was impossible to upgrade, as drivers for a lot of stuffs wasn’t updated for Vista. Non rolling upgrades similar to the recent windows big updates: it take some time, changes the wallpaper, but not something very complex…
From the post:
But first question, as someone who isn’t tech inclined and tinkering […] that runs out of the box without me having to install additional software manually or at least automatic setup wizards because like hardware
Don’t recommend Arch to users who doesn’t want to tinker please. I know, I use Arch. Arch regularly requires user intervention, you should see them on the news: https://archlinux.org/news/ You can see, 3-4 times a year you have to fiddle with some settings, otherwise you can get an unbootable system.
And that’s how we get “the (unrealistic) expectation I had of Linux was all command line stuff and techno babble.”
But his prime was like 10 years ago? So they are in their mid twenties now.
The “subscribe to pewdiepie” mass shooting was in 2019, 6 years ago, and he was already a household name at that point
It was saved by internet archive and I guess by other archival projects, this is the last snapshot from 2025-02-06: https://web.archive.org/web/20250206022420/https://social.treehouse.systems/@marcan
As I can see you can’t scroll back more than a month, but you can just select different snapshot dates: https://web.archive.org/web/20250000000000*/https://social.treehouse.systems/@marcan
Clicking on “posts and replies” doesn’t work, so only his posts are visible.
Or do we have a better way to see archives from the fediverse?
Gnome has a small brother Phosh, which has a bit better touch support, but it was developed for phones. I remember played with that on an x86 tablet years ago and it worked a bit better than Gnome, I don’t know how its development going on nowadays.
Gnome got some funding from German Ministry of Education Prototype fund for its mobile ux in 2022, so it’s a bit unexpected that it’s still in this state: https://logs.gnome.org/shell-dev/2022/09/09/gnome-shell-on-mobile-an-update/
I know mobile and general touch ux is not the same but they are closely related.
Don’t use .local as an internal domain it can cause problems. Use .internal, it was recently reserved for this purpose
Obviously ArchWiki has a guide where to look for information: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/General_troubleshooting
Look for errors in logs, a lot of things can do that.
Update discord, there was a news about that recently: https://archlinux.org/news/glibc-241-corrupting-discord-installation/
You are looking for scrcpy: https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy
It says audio works, but I never used that feature.
This happens to me with the native Arch build as well. File -> Syncronize reloads the view and everything behaves normally after that.
I use ibus-uniemoji, and I settled with this years ago after trying to find a similar replacement coming from Windows as you.
After install just set up a keyboard shortcut to quickly change between input languages, and you can just type your emojis effortlessly. As it’s an input method it doesn’t matter what DE you use. Demo gif from Github:
On a surface you should use the surface kernel and its patches: https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface
If I were you I would pick one from the well documented distros from its wiki: https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface/wiki/Installation-and-Setup#surface-kernel-installation
Obviously it should be possible to install this on any distro, but you can save yourself from a headache if you just follow a tutorial, if you have never done such a thing.
Usually it’s easier if you have the same distro on both of your computers, so you don’t have to think about which computer are you on, it’s simpler if everything is the same. All the same programs available, same repos, etc.
