Ugh, I'm going away, and just noticed that the fan in my home server PSU possibly has shot bearing... Not going to leave it on for a week while I'm away to seize and burn my home...

That's the issue with these used PCs... they like to fail sometime...

@nprofile1q... nah, SD's touchpads and the keyboard are plenty usable (tho I have a lot of practice with the OG Steam Controller). And the screen - I can simply hook it up to hotel's TV with USB-C -> HDMI adapter.

So, going on a week-long trip. I was going to take both my SteamDeck and laptop, but at one point I stopped and wondered.

Why the hell would I take a laptop with me? I have basically a laptop with a gamepad attached to it. It's 100% enough for what I will need on vacation!

THIS is the power of Steam Deck. Not its gaming performance, not the price. The fact, that with a pretty decent handheld console, you get a Linux laptop free!

I am actually quite disappointed that Ubuntu will have AI shoehorned into it, even if you can turn it off! #ubuntu #ai #boost https://www.phoronix.com/news/Ubuntu-AI-Features-2026 https://pxscdn...

@nprofile1q... I mean, if it's optional, local only (on device models) and will serve to assist new users in getting into Linux, or serve as accessibility feature for disabled users... I guess it's not that bad...

But two FUNDAMENTAL things - OPTIONAL and ON DEVICE. No connection to some random Canonical servers, or worse yet, to OpenAI/Gemini/Grok/Claude/whatevershittyllm

Steam Controller launches on May 4th at a price of 99 Euro, 419 PLN in Poland.

I'd say - fair price. Lands exactly between first-party Xbox and PS5 controllers (250-300 PLN) and the Pro ones (600 PLN for Xbox Elite, 900 PLN for PS5 DualSense Edge). It offers WAY MORE than any of these controllers, with touchpads, gyro, capacitive Hall Effect joysticks, and the most important:

Openness and repairability - you can tweak its settings to your liking, and fix it with official iFixit spare parts!

@nprofile1q... Lando says "Hi", and asks how can you sleep with such beautiful weather?

I'm awfully disappointed...

Ubuntu switched to dracut, which is good!

Kubuntu stayed on initramfs-tools, which is... less good...

Still getting used to Cinnamon as a desktop but already liking it well enough over gnome. Main selling point - KiCad works properly again. Completely fed up with all the weirdness wayland is caus...

Leniwcowaty :linuxmintnew: @Leniwcowaty :linuxmintnew: 1776956090

@nprofile1q... oh yes, Cinnamon is peak Linux desktop. Been using it for the last 3 years.
Sadly, I experience more and more issues with X11 on my desktop (multiple monitors, each with different, high refresh rate and different resolution). So had to jump to KDE.
But will be back once Cinnamon polishes their Wayland session.

Ooh, #ubuntu 26.04 LTS is out tomorrow. I have a Nvidia GPU, so it’ll probably require a clean install again. At least reinstalling is a doddle on Linux.

Leniwcowaty :linuxmintnew: @Leniwcowaty :linuxmintnew: 1776848985

@nprofile1q... you probably want a clean install anyway, because 26.04 is switching from initramfs-tools to dracut for new installations. I also have to reinstall, but probably do it in may after my vacation

A small release - I decided to build an open-source digital photo frame from Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W and my local Immich server.

It even has a 3D printed case!

Okay @nprofile1q..., I'm impressed.

And all of this without forcing user to Snap packages!

I think I found my Wayland daily driver. If only Calamares didn't crash when trying to manually partition LVM... But that's a bug in Calamares since like 2016, so unlikely to be fixed.

@nprofile1q... so... You don't know what you have issue with, you just want to hate RedHat and are looking for an excuse? Good to know, I don't need such idiots on my feed. Have a great day, and remember to never look at another Intel and NVidia product again, since they also take part in killing people in some capacity ;)
