I was unaware that these creatures had an entire pseudo science, but I guess it makes sense. But the definition of knowledge is antithetical to this entire study, since at it's core it studies the undetermined. No question is stupid, but this is blatantly ignorant. Still I'm glad you asked it because I learned something new
Considering the current intrusive cyber climate, what are the best ways to preserve privacy?
For example, I have been exclusively using a VPN connection network-wide at home setup on OpenWrt, which in turn has a PiHole as its DNS, with the PiHole using Unbound and NextDNS (redundant I know, but I use it to encrypt my requests more than anything else).
I also have Wireguard setup so I can VPN all my devices to my network while I am on the road (also have a NextDNS profile installed. Yes I know, it’s redundant).
I also basically have all my “smart” devices (TV, lightbulbs, air purifier, etc…) at home cutoff from the internet using OpenWrt’s firewall to prevent them from calling home.
I rotate web browsers frequently to try and attempt avoiding getting fingerprinted, not sure how useful that is.
I switched email providers to mailbox.org because f*** Google and Microsoft.
I also am hosting my own cloud drive on Nextcloud to avoid using services like GDrive, OneDrive, Dropbox, etc…
I own Apple devices which aren’t the best for privacy but migrating from a whole ecosystem that I have been embedded in for MANY years is easier said than done. Hopefully in the future that’s my next move.
I feel like there is a lot more I can do but I am not sure what else. I would appreciate any and all suggestions ya’ll might have.
Some people can’t be bothered to read the analog face of a traditional clock. Some people cannot stand the low frequency “hum” of mains current. If you are in either of those cate…
The Supreme Court turned away an appeal by Montana officials seeking to revive a state law that requires minors seeking abortions to obtain the consent of their parents.
We live in southern Minnesota and want put some raspberry bushes in the backyard, being new to gardening should we wait until next spring or could they establish themselves well enough during the hot summer months to survive the winter without expert attention?
Lol to this, because it's partially true, but also a bit defeatist.
You need to stay on top of berry bushes quarterly in warmer zones, but this person is in Minnesota. I don't think they'll thrive their like they would in warmer zones without harsh winters.
If farms can keep them in check, regular gardeners can as well, it just takes a fair amount of effort.
Nazis don't use science. They make up propoganda to appeal to the baser instincts of easily inflamed and manipulatable psyche's to enact violence and instill fear in the public. The paradox of intolerance is in argument alone, as after the instigating act of violence from the opressor - the resulting violence is self defense. This is what fascists like, because they are quick to anger and violence. They lie in wait to shed blood. Their haughty eyes seek opportunity to sew more discord in peaceful communities. They lie in order to facilitate more of their own ways.
Language lives. Take it back from those who would use it for inequality, hate and opression. Use it to fight the real criminals perpetrating human rights crimes.
Why on earth are Canadians STILL in the States? Get out of there! Like, WTF are you doing? You are in a HOSTILE country, and you will not have a good time there.
Most of the people I know that are still going down there tend to be wealthier. I think it's something about them thinking the money will protect them?
I have a canadian-salvadoran coworker who just went down there to visit family, like are you fucking insane.
People will go through a lot to be with family, it doesn't really matter how dangerous crossing the border is if that's the only way you'll see them again.
Unfortunately some of us have family there, and while it's easy to think "well fuck it I won't go visit", it's not always so easy. Family gets sick, dies, etc.
I totally get that, but it's still a massive risk. Going to see your sick family member might mean you'll be held in a detention center. Is it really worth it?
Would you rather pop die alone in the hospital knowing that you're in a concentration camp? Come on man, think.
They are treating ordinary Canadian citizens as criminals. It will be a risk. And if you're willing to take that risk, you have to be willing to take the consequences that are pretty much well known at this point.
I don't know if you're being serious or not, but I can't imagine doing something, knowingly, that would cause emotional distress to a loved one.
You have to consider the effort that someone else in your family will have to go through in order to attempt to get you freed from a country under a hostile dictatorship.
Again, perhaps this is worth the risk. I wouldn't want any of my family travelling anywhere to see me, if it puts their life or freedom at risk. This isn't a movie.
I saw that they are not only deputizing the proud boys but they are now giving some an honorary kudos Juris Doctorate, and fast lining them into judges to deport immigrants.
I thought I saw it on some interview Trump was saying it, not using big words like debutizing the proud boys or giving people Jurist doctorate’s. Rather he said he would give some of them the ability to decide who gets to stay. I cannot find a source so maybe that is a mistake on my part.
thanks for sharing. what I'm getting from this is that they're deputizing state cops to act as meat shields for the feds in case the affected people look for someone to target in retaliation.
I'm not implying this goes against local state ideology, just that the federal government is standardizing the party line.
It's bad here and getting worse, y'all. Don't come, it's not worth the risk, treat us as the guy in the zombie movie who was hiding the bite and is now showing the signs of turning.
Olvera — a third-generation American whose family immigrated from Mexico — said he typically votes Democrat but voted for Trump in November because he wanted a change. Now he appears to be questioning that decision.
As bad as I genuinely feel for these people, are you fucking kidding me.
These stories just boggle my mind. There was one of a woman who had an illegal immigrant as a husband. She still supports Trump even after he had been detained and she doesn’t even know where he is and if she will ever see him again 🤨😳
Oh wow wtf I could've sworn we had. I just looked it up and it seems like the US are the ones that issued a travel warning against people coming to Canada. What a fucking joke.
There was a mild travel warning, it said safety could not be guaranteed, but didn't say don't travel, just suggested making other arrangements, and that they couldn't interfere on your behalf. ctcnews.ca/2025/04/07/canada-u…

I challenge you or anyone else who thinks this is AI to try to duplicate the image using any standard gen AI tooling. Please post what you get, I fucking dare you.
This is 100% crappy vector art thrown together into a crappy infographic by hand, and that thing on the bottom of the skeleton is called a pelvis.
Ah that’s fair, I can see where you’re coming from on that. Those icons could 100% be generated with AI given the right prompting.
In my book, they look way more like stock assets to me due to how generic the symbols are, and the consistent styling. The “army guard” icon is kinda sus because of the stick “gun”, but that can be read as deliberate ambiguity to appease potential corporate customers who don’t want gun depictions in their vector stock images, and same deal with the generic “six point star”.
You’d also think they’d have chosen some sort of more detailed depiction of “isolation & surveillance” than a megaphone, or a lightning head for “fear & control”. If any of the accompanying text was included in the prompt to generate these images, the output would’ve been completely different.

Celestial bodies like the moon contain valuable resources, such as lunar regolith — also known as moon dust — and helium-3. These resources could serve a range of applications, including making rocket propellant and generating energy to sustaining long missions, bringing benefits in space and on Earth.
The first objective on this journey is being able to collect lunar regolith. One company taking up this challenge is ispace, a Japanese space exploration company ispace that signed a contract with NASA in 2020 for the collection and transfer of ownership of lunar regolith.
The company recently attempted to land its RESILIENCE lunar lander, but the mission was ultimately unsuccessful. Still, this endeavour marked a significant move toward the commercialization of space resources.
These circumstances give rise to a fundamental question: what are the legal rules governing the exploitation of space resources? The answer is both simple and complex, as there is a mix of international agreements and evolving regulations to consider.
The article has a breakdown of the laws and further context
As humanity moves closer to extracting and using space resources, the need for a cohesive and responsible global governance system has never been greater.
Agreements and rules are necessary so that one group doesn't ruin it for everyone else. It also prevents (or at least reduces) conflict if everyone knows what the rules of the game are.
Here is an excerpt from the article:
A significant development in the governance of space resources has been the adoption Artemis Accords, which — as of June 2025 — has 55 signatory nations. The accords reflect a growing international consensus concerning the exploitation of space resources.
Considering the typically slow pace of multilateral negotiations, a handful of nations introduced national legislation. These laws govern the legality of space resource exploitation, allowing private companies to request licenses to conduct this type of activity.
To date, six nations have enacted this type of legislation: the United States in 2015, Luxembourg in 2017, the United Arab Emirates in 2019, Japan in 2021, Brazil in 2024 and most recently, Italy, which passed its law on June 11, 2025.
Among these, Luxembourg’s legal framework is the most complete. It provides a series of requirements to provide authorization for the exploitation of space resources. In fact, ispace’s licence to collect lunar regolith was obtained under this regime.
If you are referring to this paragraph:
These principles reaffirm the freedom of use and exploration of outer space for peaceful purposes, while introducing rules pertaining to the safety of the activities and their sustainability, as well as the protection of the environment, both of Earth and outer space.
Space junk is a growing issue, see Kessler Syndrome
The Kessler syndrome underscores the critical need for effective space traffic management and collision avoidance strategies to ensure the long-term viability of space exploration and utilization.
The Kessler syndrome is troublesome because of the domino effect and feedback runaway wherein impacts between objects of sizable mass spall off debris from the force of the collision. The fragments can then hit other objects, producing even more space debris: if a large enough collision or explosion were to occur, such as between a space station and a defunct satellite, or as the result of hostile actions in space, then the resulting debris cascade could make prospects for long-term viability of satellites in particular low Earth orbits extremely low
It's a big enough concern that Kessler Syndrome is one of the potential solutions to the Fermi Paradox
Some astronomers have hypothesized Kessler syndrome as a possible or likely solution to the Fermi paradox, the lack of any sign of alien life in the universe. Any intelligent civilization which becomes spacefaring could eventually extinguish any safe orbits via Kessler syndrome, trapping itself within its home planet.
@Otter Raft The expense of getting there I think is going to limit the number of players, and the available surface area I think will not make a lot of rules necessary. And making a lot will 1) get ignored when it becomes disadvantageous to a given party just as UN rules are ignored now, and 2) just slow development.

Linux 6.17 is expected to clear out some final remnants of the OpenMoko Neo 1973 and Neo FreeRunner smartphone support from that Linux smartphone effort from two decades ago.
Well, I really tried to daily drive the Freerunner, but it was just not there: unstable software paired with unfinished buggy hardware. Im still grateful for the project. It was my gateway to a professional career in embedded linux development.
I remember reading about these Openmoko devices before most people (certainly I) owned smartphones.
I thought at the time it was the most awesome idea ever, especially because I wasn't used to mobile Internet or even much computing. Now I am typing this from an Android tablet on a train in a foreign country without WiFi, so the world has definitely changed.
The federal government is putting up a cool $105 million toward expanding high-speed Internet in rural and northern Saskatchewan, according to Innovation, Science and Economic Development today.
Absolutely but the Saskatchewan party is doing everything they can to slowly sabotage the telecom by using shoddy contractors as much possible to privatize the crown corporation even though Sasktel gave them a budget surplus.

do anything for you? (The numbers are for sound card 0, 1, and 2. It looks like, if anything, only 0 would be relevant for you, but you can try the others just in case.)
This command cleans the controls created by applications.
It was a bit of a long shot experiment to begin with. The commands I posted can be useful when an audio device suddenly stops working after it has been working initially during a session, but since your problem is most likely about your device not being recognized at any time, it's not too surprising that they don't do much. Just worth the try.
It is probably due to this change in the Linux kernel. That broke analogue microphone inputs on lots of systems. After that change, there were quite a few additional patches fixing those problems on individual systems (e.g. this one), but there are still lots of broken setups around. I have no idea what the original change was about exactly. It appears to have broken more things than it has fixed, but what do I know.
Yes. Apparently the issue happens with both internal mics and mic connectors where you attach your own mic. The seconds link I provided points to a fix for a specific laptop that fixes a non-working internal mic.
No, it is not dumb. My second link was just an example to a fix of one particular laptop where this issue occurred. I mentioned all this just to point to the issue that might be causing your problem. I'm afraid this probably does not fix it for you. Maybe it has been fixed with a more recent kernel. You could check which version you are running (by running uname -a from a terminal) and maybe update to a newer one if your distro allows that. Alternatively you could downgrade the kernel to a version before this issue was introduced (a 6.10 kernel should work okay). Of course downgrading should only be a stop-gap solution.
I'm trying to see if maybe i've done something where I have pipewire, pulseaudio, wireplumber all set up at the same time? I also don't really understand the difference between them
Okay, so this is one of Asus's consumer models that fits in the "Windowstop" category, meaning a lot of the hardware is going to be windows-only for various reasons.
It's got an ALC272 which IS supported, but that doesn't mean the microphone will be, especially if it's on the USB bus for whatever reason.
Couple questions:
1) Do other microphones work, just not internal? 2) Does your volume control work as expected 3) Does the webcam work, and does the internal microphone work only when the webcam is engaged? 4) What do apps like Discord or Zoom detect as available for your inputs?
As a test, install pavucontrol and qasmixer. Open pavucontrol, and check ALL the input settings (there are many combos). If nothing there shows activity, launch qasmixer, select the 'hw' view on the right, then try selecting different mixers and see if one finally clicks.
If any of these are successful, your mic is detected, and your mixer settings are messed up so it's not being enabled as an input sink.
If none of these work, you're going to have to dig restart, then run sudo dmesg and grep through looking for information regarding audio devices, or similar errors to see if it can't detect it.
From the product specs, it looks like it might have Harmon Kardon speakers, which may also tie into the microphone, and that's going to be problematic if it's a USB device for a number of reasons I won't dive into. Overall, this model just seems to be problematic from digging around. Example: reddit.com/r/ASUS/comments/160…
when i go on zoom or discord there is no available inputs
the internal mic used to work but then I had to do some update and now its not.
Is there a chance that there is some config file that is blocking something? like i made some kind of setting in a config file that is making this happen?

Dumb question: do you have a key on your keyboard that disables the microphone? I don't have my laptop in front of me, but I know there's a key that disables the trackpad and another that disables the camera. I realized that I'd accidentally hit those by going through something similar to this.
You definitely seem to have what looks to be the right audio device getting detected.
The device that is "unplugged" should be the 3.5mm jack on your laptop (if you have one) not the internal mic.
My first guess is that your audio device is in the wrong mode. If it is currently set to something like "stereo output" change it to "stereo output+mono input" or "stereo duplex" from pavucontrol or audio settings.
Audio devices can have multiple modes or "profiles" that determine what they do.
For my headset I have:
For my internal sound card I have:
If I set my headset to one of the options that doesn't have "+ Mono Input" the mic stops working and doesn't even show up in settings and apps anymore. Same if I use the "Stereo Output" mode on my internal sound card. They must be set to a mode with both output and input enabled to work.
I can see this from "Sound" in my KDE settings, but you can also configure this in the "Configuration" tab of pavucontrol.
Do I really have to have written "stop changing the defaults"? Like if Firefox kept changing its keyboard shortcuts would that be non-annoying as long as you can reset them? Oh yes, they DO that.
At least KDE Qt is working on making their apps cross-platform. Unfortunately most GNOME apps I know of receive updates for a couple years & then die off like this, and will occasionally get replaced. I think the issue partly stems from the pain points that have come with GTK+.
I'm not sure if that's true. The mint team has their X-Apps project which is designed to be a cross DE GTK app initiative. Having written GTK software I also haven't found many pain points myself. Most of the problems with gnome seem to be the gnome team and not the surrounding projects.
Evince is a document viewer capable of displaying multiple and single page document formats like PDF and Postscript.
The gitlab repo for Evince was created May 22, 2018 and looks to be last updated yesterday.
Papers:
Papers is a document viewer capable of displaying multiple and single page document formats like PDF and DejaVu.
The gitlab repo for Papers was created March 29, 2022 and looks to be last updated 3 months ago.
I think in my years of using Gnome I've never used either, and had to search apps to see if I even had them installed. I have Evince under the fantastic title "document viewer" which is fixed in that commit yesterday. As for Papers, I don't even have it installed on 49-alpha.
I had no doubt that it was, I guess my post was more that they have both been around for a bit doing close to the same task. So for the people pretending this is "Gnome abandoning things like they always do" I think it's kind of silly to not expect a "default" app that is more than 7+ years old to be replaced with something newer.
Especially because these are the "default" apps that I would expect to be replaced once someone learns the DE and outgrows the defaults.
Why? I haven't been following smart glasses development at all, but a camera is one of the things I would just expect it to have, and would be surprised if it was missing. Like, isn't that a requirement for some kinds of AR? Seems like if you are against smart glasses with outward cameras, then you're really just against smart glasses period.

I am new to linux knows very very basic linux like using it for more then year know how to sort little issues etc. I have my laptop with me having specs as following: **Hp Elitebook 840 G4 Core i5 7th Gen 8gb Ram 256 gb SSD Full Hd 1080 maybe resolution Currently using Fedora KDE Edition **
Use for basic working sometimes it gets load sometimes but still a good one.
Help me if you can install Tekken 7 or if not then tekken 3 will work for me as well.
I dont litterly know anything fully technical so kindly if you gonna tell me explain it to be with step by step detailes please and let me know each thing. It'll be great help 🤞
Note: If Tekken 7 can't be installed on fedora or need anything else to change, kindly recommend me, mostly i have used debian based systems and rest i have is fedora so if anything is nkt suitable, let me know please.
Gonna post in multiple communities to get extra help. Thank you
Sure. The steam version is easiest, just install steam, get the game through steam and it should just work. Heres a website that tracks compatibility with linux through proton, valve's solution to running windows games, its installed by default when you get steam: protondb.com/app/389730
It has a pretty simple GUI and you can click your configs together.
At first you have to define a "bottle" which simply represents an virtual environment for your Windows-Application or Game.
You can define which Windows Version you want to create and it asks you, if it is a Desktop-App or a Game you want to run. And based on that it will create an environment prepared for your Individual situation.
Idk if you have the specs to run tekken 7 but you can try if you already own the game. sudo dnf install steam Then open steam and go to the settings look for compatibility and make sure thats on. Then try running tekken 7.
If tekken 7 is to laggy you can try tekken 3. If you want to try that I can type up instructions. You can either install the PC version or use a ps2 emulator and play the ps2 versions. I'd recommend the ps2 emulator because its easy and the games are easy to find.
Im all for piracy, but cant OP make it kinda obvious at least instead of scaring away New users by making it look like Linux is way too hard
Also, there are like thousands of threads about this already on other Forums made for piracy, and its still the same: download steam or Heroic, add New game, select the exe, and play
Oh I completely agree with you. Second problem being it also looks like they're asking how and where. The resources are there, and it's still relatively simple regardless of the OS. Just sadly not the best community for this sort of question. They're going to need more than just an emulator for instance lol.

Starbucks, Chips, irgendein gekauftes Backwerk, Fertiglebensmittel sind jetzt nicht gerade günstig (vor allem wenn man, wie abgebildet, Markenprodukte kauft). Das Problem ist, dass günstige ballaststoffreiche Lebensmittel oft ziemlich viel Aufwand und auch Fähigkeiten erfordern, um daraus schmackhafte Mahlzeiten herzustellen (und wenn man alleine wohnt muss man dann tagelang Kohl, Salat o.Ä. essen). Naja, und manche Obstsorten sind wirklich teuer, z.B. Beeren.
Insgesamt wird die rechte Seite erst dann wirklich teuer, wenn man das Essen von anderen herstellen lassen will.
Salat der Wahl + Ein Feta oder Mozarella (oder was danach aussieht, aber nicht so genannt werden darf, egal) + ein paar Cherrytomaten oder eine große Tomate kleingeschnitten + Ein paar Nüsse oder Sonnenblumenkerne oder Kürbiskerne o.ä.
Alles schnippeln und zusammenwerfen. Olivenöl und Essig dran, und ein bisschen Salz und Pfeffer.
Dauert keine zehn Minuten und mehr als Würfel schneiden muss man auch nicht können.
Ja, und den Salat kann man dann 3 Tage lang essen wenn man alleine wohnt. Bei mir fliegt dann selbst bei den kleineren Salaten (z.B. abgepackter Feldsalat) idR die Hälfte weg.
Ein Salatkopf hält sich auch einige Tage frisch und du kannst die für dich passende Menge Salat jeweils frisch zubereiten. Ein halber Feta oder Mozarella kann auch geöffnet zwei drei Tage überstehen.
Da es nur zehn Minuten dauert, das zusammenzuwerfen, bist du immer noch schnell als bei Nudeln mit Pesto.
Ich weiß, ich nur ein lustiges Bild. Aber ich habe so viele Gedanken dazu, das ich nun Stichpunkte raushauen muss. Bitte nicht zu hart runter wählen, ich spitze zu und meine nichts davon böse:

I watched it, there's no mention of donating to anyone in this video and no donation link in the description aside from her standard Patreon and social media info.
No, she is saying your power is in pressuring MPs and other politicians to push back against C-2, push back on Carney being an American suck-up, supporting sanctions on Israel, boycotting products and services that support the genocide and Trump's deportation scheme, push companies to drop Gardaworld for their involvement in constructing the concentration camp, and on. The point is that all this bad doesn't take away what options we have as individuals to resist it.
If you could please refrain from spreading misinformation based on unfounded hunches, I would appreciate it.

There is a glaring lack of tracking for global recycling. Poor waste management is deeply connected to climate change, plastic pollution and global nutrient imbalances globally.
Economies also suffer from the lack of tracking. We extract, process and then landfill and incinerate trillions of dollars of materials per year. Instead, these could be recirculating, creating new jobs and reducing reliance on global trade.
To shift to alternative, circular models, we need better data on local and global waste management.
My research demonstrates that more local waste tracking through digitalization could yield multiple benefits. It could help track hyper-local recycling and reuse, initiatives that are usually considered too small and burdensome to include in national waste tracking efforts.
And compared to national waste tracking, localized waste tracking could also provide more timely and relevant insights on the effectiveness of policies, infrastructure investments and education.

Because waste and recycling is a provincial matter (like many things)... saying Canada doesn't have a standardized federal framework is fine, but kind of a shallow take considering this article didn't bring up any provincial examples at all.
BC is on the ball with recycling, reporting and auditing composition.report
Ontario is trying to standardize their system and it puts cost and collection responsibilities on producers supposedly, but it could lead to lower recovery rates.
Alberta or Saskatchewan probably don't care that much, or will support it to the extent it helps oil and resource companies.
In 2024, Recycle BC successfully collected and managed over 208,000 tonnes of residential packaging and paper, resulting in a recovery rate of 83.3%. Over

A bit more precise: “Anaconda will no longer support installing in UEFI mode on MBR-partitioned disks for X886. While the UEFI specification technically permits booting from MBR (msdos) disks, in practice this configuration is unreliable, inconsistently supported by firmware, and not tested in Fedora.” which I think is the proper thing to do.
Thank you for the clarification! I don't super understand your clarified version either but it helps me conclude this seems unlikely to be important to me or affect my use case 😅
It shouldn’t, you probably have a modern setup. Super high level is that: UEFI is like a mini os on the mainboard, replacing the old bios chips that were very limited, including on partitions on disks: max 2 physical (whereby the 2nd was used to embed “soft” partitions), and any boot code was confined to cramped spaces, below certain amounts of blocks and cylinders etc, hence the peculiar /boot partition. UEFI had to support this of course, but it’s at best like wearing clothes that you accidentally washed at the highest temperature: bleak, way too tight in uncomfortable places and prone to tearing.
This year, like every other year, Americans will celebrate Independence Day with flag-waving, and parades, and fireworks. The political system the flag and the parades and fireworks are supposed to represent is in tatters, but everybody likes a party.
For Americans, the madness gripping their country is a catastrophe. For non-Americans, it is an accidental revolution. This Independence Day, the world is declaring its independence from the US.
The lesson the Americans once taught the British, they are teaching the rest of the world: there are no necessary nations. There are no exceptional countries. There are no permanent global orders
I washed mine in a standard washer/dryer for about two years before a pouch tore and it began to leak weighted material. I am still unclear if it was a washer/dryer damage issue or if my new dog with God damn demon nails poked a hole in it. I honestly think it was the dog.
Most should be machine washable in cold water on the gentle/delicate cycle without any addons (no fabric softener, certainly no bleach) before tumble drying on low, which you may need to do twice and could also be where I fucked mine up (I dried it on Hellscape Hawt one time.).
Regarding your mention of an outside or slipcover, mine did not have that. If you do not see an obvious set of snaps or zippers, do not assume that your does either.
I definitely remember getting it inside a slip cover, like I had to intentionally maneuver it into one so i guess its time to get it out haha. See you guys in a few weeks while i attempt THAT haha
Yeah I have the same worry. We have a weighted blanket that we still haven't washed and it bothers me. I don't need to wash it regularly but it would be good to give it an initial wash after purchase, but I'm worried about damaging my front loader 🙁

I know this is a bit controversial, I've done a tiny bit of research on it. But honestly, until last night, I didn't realize people used anything but 1:1.
From what I've read, most older recipes are 2:1? And most modern recipes are 1:1? What do you use?
I use 2:1 when I bother to heat it in a pot, but recently I've taken to just filling sugar and boiling water into the intended container and shaking it every couple of minutes, and that method leads to somewhat more watery syrup. Still more sugar than water, though.
If a recipe needs more dilution, you can always add water while mixing the cocktail. I do that pretty often.

PikaOS maybe too "hobby oriented" to expect "sleep stability", but I understand most/all bugs to be debian or kde upstream ones. Is gnome still much better at stability? Is there a distribution that fixed sleep problems for you? open vs closed nvidia drivers?
Are there motherboard manufacturers that suck less at linux?
I have a Gigabyte motherboard, and the only issue I've run into—even with Arch—is this specific B550 board uses some third-party sensors, and the necessary it87 module doesn't load and isn't included by default. This makes it impossible to utilize tools like CoolerControl to manage fan curves.
Thankfully, some kind soul manages a DKMS module via the AUR, in spite of both Gigabyte and the IC manufacturers being less than helpful.
No issues with Debian / Ubuntu on many laptops since early 2010s, mostly with Intel graphics. I had a Vostro 1400 with Nvidia and it also resumed fine, but that was 2009-11 so the experience with the Nvidia driver from that time is likely irrelevant.
System76, Framework, even Dell officially supports Ubuntu in limited cases.
I'd just try a couple different distros and see which one has the fewest issues for you. If you like, you can pay for official support from Dell or Canonical. If you do identify an issue in a supported scenario (Ubuntu version + device model) they will actually help you troubleshoot and resolve the issue. RHEL is the same if you want to pay a bit more.
I'm running CachyOS with Gnome, Gigabyte motherboard, AMD processor, closed Nvidia drivers, and sleep works just fine. I haven't had any issues in that regard.
Could try Fedora based like Bazzite or just regular Fedora. Obviously a sample size of 2 isn't saying much, but Bazzite is less buggy with the hardware on my HP laptop, and my destop with an Nvidia GPU.
Before asking for another distro, you should figure out, what is the root cause of the trouble you observe. Usually sleep/wake up under Linux are highly hardware dependent. Even the SteamDeck, which has payed first level hardware support by Valve, has sometimes trouble waking up properly after sleep, at least in desktop mode. Good luck!
A problem with PikaOS is that the log files seem bad or I couldn't find the right one. Lots of seemingly amateur errors in log (no permission for system to write to system) that don't seem to lead to imminent crash. Log files don't pick up having to hit power switch maybe.
My main question was the easy "did a distro switch solve sleep issues for anyone"? Maybe switch to Mint would at least have more google hits on solving issues? Someone downvoted the "switch to x11 graphics driver before sleep" try, and I'm losing patience on tracking it down as you suggest.
Not sure if it is applicable, but wouldn't it be an option to use the Fedora Workstation Live CD, mount your swap partition into the live system and send it to sleep via SystemD?
This should give you feedback with a fairly recent kernel and Gnome has (at least for me) been the desktop option with the least amount of bugs I encountered.
Waking up from sleep is of course part graphics card/drivers, and BIOS code. My husband had his share with his nvidia card crashing the system when coming up from sleep under Wayland, but I believe these things have been mostly ironed now. However, if you have a buggy BIOS, you're out of luck. I've had such a DELL laptop, latest firmware installed, and no matter which distro I tried, it wouldn't wake up from sleep properly. So, if that's your issue, there's not much you can do, apart from getting compatible hardware. There are hardware lists of compatible hardware in some places, including archlinux's wiki i believe.
It's probably more to do with hardware than distro. That said, using major distros is more likely to win. FWIW I've used fedora and voidlinux on my 3 Dell laptops over the last 12 years with nary a problem. One of them had nvidia but I used nouveau.
I use Fedora with KDE and never have issues. Though I no longer have NVIDIA cards in any of my computers. The drivers suck on Linux in general and were the cause of many of my previous issues with Linux overall.
The Rust-written Redox OS open-source operating system project just published their June 2025 status report to outline recent progress on this innovative platform.
I don't embark on such journeys, tbh. I'm more of a day by day/ path of least resistance person. But fucking good on people who do that shit. I'm proud of you. Best I can do is make rash decisions and see them through. Some of them work out really well. Some don't.
Support for UEFI on MBR was originally added in blivet#764 to accommodate cloud image use cases, such as AWS, which at the time did not support UEFI booting on GPT disks. These constraints no longer apply to modern cloud platforms, making MBR-based UEFI setups unnecessary for current Fedora deployments.
Exactly. MBR is pretty much not used at this point except on legacy hardware where EFI is not supported. As mentioned, it's also unreliable in this particular combo.
Removing this does two things:
1) Ensures the most reliable way of installing is enforced by default
2) Removed untested and entangled bits of code that allows this to work (though the volume of code removed won't be huge)
And that is still largely true - I’m still running XFCE with xorg on Debian, and I think the only issue I’ve had was Waydroid.
Will there come a day where what you say is true? Yes.
However, right now, a more apt example to convey your point is systemd; that’s true for most distros with a lot of community support. Even then, its hold isn’t absolute - Alpine seems like the most livable non-systemd distro, though I could be wrong.
As I’ve commented elsewhere on this post and others have said, this is a change that affects pretty much no one. I didn’t even know MBR (legacy BIOS) partition tables on UEFI boot was possible, honestly.
By no longer putting in the effort to maintain this bit that no one uses, work can be put to something someone uses.
Also, with Linux, specific distros can get encrapified (kind of happened to Ubuntu), but as others have said, there’s usually always another distro to jump to at worst.
I was wondering too why anyone would ever want this...but the proposal explains it:
Support for UEFI on MBR was originally added in blivet#764 to accommodate cloud image use cases, such as AWS, which at the time did not support UEFI booting on GPT disks. These constraints no longer apply to modern cloud platforms, making MBR-based UEFI setups unnecessary for current Fedora deployments.
So basically it was some workaround a few years ago. I have a hard time to see any reason speaking against the removal.
For those panicking about it, this is not something you need to worry about. Here’s what this actually does:
Enforce the use of GPT partition tables for all UEFI-based Fedora installations for x86 architecture. This removes support for installing Fedora in UEFI mode on MBR-partitioned disks on x86 systems
You probably have already been using GPT on your UEFI system since you had a UEFI system. Even if you somehow were using MBR, this probably; 1. Won’t break existing installations, as it’s merely support for installs of this type 2. Would not be a problem even if somehow the broke existing installs, as it’s not difficult to convert MBR to GPT.

Edit: I'll leave it here for whomever might come next: use Ventoy to create the USB, not Rufus, and then boot in grub2 option. It's installing now, at least. Let's see...
How did you format the USB drive? I could never get a usb to boot on my Surface Go unless it was made in Rufus using Windows. I believe you need to format the USB (with no iso) as an unbootable disc with fat32 and GPT and THEN put the iso you want on it. (Two separate operations on the same USB stick.)
There's also a custom Linux Kernel just for Surfaces that you can use for better driver compatibility.
Edit: I see you mentioned Ventoy. I got some ISOs to work with it, but most didn't. Then again, I couldn't get some ISOs to work with Rufus either.

Doch die Verordnung war das einzige Werkzeug, mit dem eine Überdüngung auf die verursachenden Betriebe zurückzuführen war. Nun fürchten Experten, dass die Nitratwerte im Trinkwasser wieder steigen könnten, weil die Verursacher wieder anonym wären. Wenn das passiert, könnte das auch für die Regierung Folgen haben.2018 wurde Deutschland von der EU für die Nichteinhaltung der Nitratgrenzwerte im Trinkwasser verklagt. Eine Klage, die 2023 zurückgezogen wurde, weil die EU-Kommission die von Deutschland ergriffenen Korrekturen als hinreichend ansah. Dazu gehörte auch die 2018 eingeführte Stoffstrombilanzierungsverordnung.
Seit ihrer Einführung ist die Menge an Stickstoff, die von landwirtschaftlichen Flächen in die Umwelt gelangt, um fast ein Drittel gefallen. Dr. Benjamin Leon Bodirsky, PIK
Trotzdem hat das Bundesministerium für Landwirtschaft, Ernährung und Heimat (BMLEH) die Stoffstrombilanzverordnung abgeschafft. Bundesminister Rainer sagt, er löse ein Wahlversprechen zum Bürokratieabbau ein: "Damit befreien wir unsere Höfe von jährlich 18 Millionen Euro Bürokratieballast."
Dazu als Einordnung: 304 Milliarden Euro Umsatz im "agribusiness" I'm Jahr 2023 laut Agrarheute
Die Aufhebung der Stoffstrombilanzierung kommt faktisch einem Rückfall in die Gesetzlosigkeit im Bereich der Düngung gleich. Prof. Klaus Dittert, Georg-August-Universität Göttingen
Bestraft würden nun nämlich wieder die Landwirte, die sich an Regelungen gehalten und verantwortungsvoll gedüngt hätten. Umweltsünder, die überdüngen, hätten wieder freie Fahrt, so Dittert.
[...] das mit der EU vereinbarte Wirkungsmonitoring, welches Bestandteil der Nitrat-Richtlinie ist, wird nun nicht mehr durchgeführt. Das könnte die EU-Kommission dazu veranlassen, das Vertragsverletzungsverfahren von 2018 wieder aufzunehmen. Es drohen Milliardenstrafen, die schlussendlich Verbraucherinnen und Verbraucher schultern - ebenso wie höhere Preise für Trinkwasser. Denn das Herausfiltern von Nitrat ist teuer.
Klassiker in D: Grenzwert wird überschritten -> es wird im Bestfall reguliert -> Grenzwert wird unterschritten -> "das braucht sich kein Mensch; Bürokratie yay"
Ich bin so frustriert und Müde von der bekloppten CSU es ist doch nicht zu fassen. Für 18 Mio, so ein schmarrn.
Wie viel Dünger verlässt den Hof? Mit der Stoffstrombilanz konnte das genau zugeordnet werden. Jetzt wurde sie abgeschafft. Nehmen die Schadstoffe in Boden und Wasser wieder zu?
Zählt das eigentlich schon als Landesverrat, wenn man komplett ohne Not die Lebensgrundlage des Landes zerstört? Wenn man das Grundwasser erstmal komplett verseucht hat, werden Wasseraufbereitung und -lieferung deutlich mehr kosten als 18 Millionen im Jahr.
Niedrigere Limits führen bei gleicher Geschwindigkeit zu härteren Strafen. Leute, die versuchen mit >130 durch 90er-Zonen-Kurven zu ballern fahren nicht nur in Kurven zu schnell.
Man bekommt diese Strafen auch, wenn man auf gerader Strecke so schnell fährt (je nachdem wo die Blitzer stehen, aber soweit ich weiß sind die eher auf gerader Strecke) - ist auch gefährlich, führt aber nicht in jedem Fall zu schweren Unfällen. Das hat bei manchen einen Lerneffekt.
Mit dem Auto im Wasser gelandet: Bleibt genug Zeit zur Flucht - und warum kann ein Nothammer Leben retten? Ein ADAC-Test überrascht mit Details, die jeder Autofahrer kennen sollte.
Man beachte bei der Folge, dass ab Minute 33 auch das mit dem Fenster aufmachen getestet wird, unter anderem werden im Trockenen Eisengewichte auf eine Autotür gestapelt, um den Unterwasserdruck zu simulieren, wenn man im gesunkenen Auto das Fenster per normalem Fensterheber öffnen will. Im Endeffekt gilt, sobald das Wasser ein Fenster auch nur teilweise bedeckt, hilft in der Tat nur noch der Nothammer.
Finde aber schon cool, dass der ADAC das hier praktisch ausprobiert bzw. demonstriert hat.

An der Spitze fast nur Männer. Das ist in vielen Unternehmen immer noch so. Der Kanzler sieht Handlungsbedarf - und gibt Frauen Ratschläge. Luft nach oben ist aber auch in Regierung und Kanzleramt.
„Ich kenne das natürlich aus meiner Welt. Wir Männer haben eine bessere Begabung und Befähigung, Netzwerke zu bilden und uns gegenseitig auch zu unterstützen“
Endlich mal einer der den Frauen die Welt erklärt! /s
Um als Mann für die Frauen mal eine Lanze zu brechen:
Es gibt einen wesentlichen Unterschied, der von allen Forschern, die sich mit der geschlechtsspezifischen Wirksamkeit von Frauen- und Männernetzwerken auseinandergesetzt haben, beschrieben wird: Frauenbünden fehlt häufig eine relevante Anzahl an Alpha-Mitgliedern – also Entscheiderinnen, die bereits in Machtpositionen sind und insofern die anderen Netzwerkmitglieder mit nach oben ziehen können oder durch ihre Multiplikatorinnenfunktion einen messbaren Benefit für die anderen Frauen im Netzwerk erzielen können. Das ist insbesondere bei den sogenannten Old Boys Networks (als Beispiel etwa der Andenpakt der CDU) anders. Wobei gerade dieses Beispiel zeigt, dass ein Männernetzwerk mit wichtigen Entscheidern allein noch nicht wirksam ist – und von einer einzelnen Frau durchaus "besiegt" werden kann. Generell haben Frauen schlechtere Chancen, Mitglied in einem Old Boys Network zu werden. Man muss hierzu mit den zumeist älteren und männlichen Entscheidern befreundet und bekannt sein – und diesen Entscheidern sympathisch sein. In der Regel basieren die stark wirksamen Männernetzwerke auf informellen Seilschaften, die ohne Rahmen und nur auf Sympathie und Ähnlichkeit beruhen.
Networking haftet immer noch ein eher schlechtes Image an. Besonders Frauen halten sich zurück. Dabei sind Netzwerker besonders erfolgreich im Job. Was machen die anders?

Selbst rechte Wähler stecken nicht alle so tief in der alternativen Realität, dass sie sogar das noch wegrationalisieren.
Poland’s main opposition party, the national-conservative Law and Justice (PiS), has proposed an entry ban for people from certain countries in the Middle East and Africa. It says this would help stop Germany’s practice of sending migrants who have illegally crossed the border back to Poland.
The proposal comes amid renewed debate over how to tackle migration, with the Polish government on Tuesday announcing the reintroduction of controls on Poland’s borders with Germany and Lithuania in an effort to prevent the “uncontrolled flow of migrants”.
After Prime Minister Donald Tusk had announced the border controls, the head of PiS’s parliamentary caucus, Mariusz Błaszczak, said that the government’s actions were “too little, too late”.
“This crisis has been going on for months,” he continued. “This issue requires far-reaching action.”
Błaszczak said that PiS would submit a bill to parliament introducing a temporary ban on entry to Poland for third-country nationals from “specific countries outside Europe…whose citizens illegally cross borders”.
Previously, on Monday, PiS party leader Jarosław Kaczyński had called for an “immediate ban on entry to the territory of Poland for people from the Middle East and North Africa”.
PiS has not yet specified which Middle Eastern and African countries would be included in its proposed ban. It says they would be selected based on analysis of data showing which nationalities most often cross borders illegally or are transferred to Poland from Germany.
A government information campaign discouraging people from trying to illegally enter Poland was recently launched in Afghanistan, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia, Iraq, Pakistan and Egypt, countries from which Poland has identified the largest numbers of people crossing the border from Belarus.
Since 2021, tens of thousands of migrants and asylum seekers – mainly from Asia and Africa – have tried to enter Poland from Belarus, with the encouragement and assistance of the Belarusian authorities.
In response, Poland has heavily fortified its eastern border with physical barriers and electronic monitoring. The government also recently banned asylum claims by people crossing from Belarus. Those measures have led to a dramatic decline in the numbers entering via that route.
In his remarks on Tuesday, Błaszczak made clear, however, that PiS’s proposed entry ban was designed to address the issue that has recently caused most controversy, which is Germany’s policy of sending back to Poland thousands of migrants who crossed the Polish-German border illegally.
Many of those sent back are Ukrainians. Others are non-Europeans, often from Asia and Africa, who have either claimed asylum in Poland – and therefore must remain there while their applications are processed – or have simply passed through it after entering the EU irregularly.
“After the introduction of this [proposed] law, Polish border guards will be able to prevent citizens of these countries from entering our territory,” said Błaszczak. “So those who are today being transferred from Germany by the German authorities, or who are trying to cross from Germany to the Polish side, will not be able to do so.”
The migrant returns carried out by Germany take place under a combination of EU regulations, bilateral agreements with Poland, and the border controls that Berlin reintroduced in 2023. Earlier this year, Tusk declared that Poland may stop adhering to such agreements.
However, some Poles have sought to take matters into their own hands, organising self-declared “citizen patrols” – some of them hundreds strong – at the German border to monitor and prevent migrant returns.
Błaszczak said that PiS politicians will be visiting the German border to make clear that “we support the border defence movement”, which he described as “Polish patriots who took matters into their own hands when Donald Tusk’s state abdicated [its responsibilities]”.
He also pledged that the party “will provide support to those who are persecuted by the current authorities of our country” for undertaking such actions, reports the Polish Press Agency (PAP).
Earlier this week, Tusk and interior minister Tomasz Siemoniak criticised the actions of the citizen patrols, saying that they are disrupting the work of border officers and spreading false claims about the number and types of migrants being transferred by Germany.
I’d previously played the Commodore 64 version—a predictable top-down shooter with decent graphics for the old brown breadbox, but nothing remarkable.
The DOS version, released in 1989, really stands out. It supports VGA graphics and AdLib sound, delivering crisp colors and catchy music that were impressive for the time.
What blew me away, though, was the control options. Not only does it support keyboard and joystick, but you can also move and shoot using the mouse—a rarity for the platform back then. Even better, it actually works pretty well by the standards of the day.
Rambo III came out in many versions: arcade, Master System, Genesis. The computer versions are mostly similar, each carrying quirks unique to their platforms—you could find it on Atari ST, Amiga, MSX, C64, Amstrad CPC, and even ZX Spectrum.
The DOS release covers CGA, EGA, and VGA graphics modes plus a variety of sound options, offering a surprisingly eclectic experience. While critics favored the Genesis version, I think the DOS port holds its own. It’s more than playable and can deliver some solid fun.

“There’s always a risk when corporate interests are negotiating agreements with governments in back rooms,” he said. “They [the Ford government] often point to external pressures — energy demand, housing need, trade tariffs — as reasons to act quickly. But it’s really about removing democratic guardrails and making it easier to cut backroom deals with powerful corporations.”
The Ford government is pushing ahead with legislation that would give it sweeping new powers to decide which companies — particularly data centres — can connect to Ontario’s electricity grid.
“Otherwise, we are opening ourselves up to cronyism, corruption and economic inefficiency,” Hsu said. “We've seen them time and time again not being able to resist the urge of helping insiders, so I am wary to trust the government if, and when, they say that no influence will occur.”
This is incredibly rich coming from the Ford Government.

The head of an organization representing automakers said he's "cautiously optimistic" after meeting with Prime Minister Mark Carney to urge him to repeal the electric vehicle sales mandate.
We have independant parts manufacturing, Autosystems had 3 plants in belleville and prolly lots more around the coutry, we have the skilled labour in that sector, so if someone with enough money wants to, they def can start up car manufacturing fairly easily for the circumstances

Jeff Bezos will eat their lunch with the Slate truck.
God forbid we stop subsidizing the rich buying EV and start subsidizing mass transit. Given we are the only country in the G7 without high speed rail, much of our main arteries are unchanged from the 1960s, and we keep doing mass immigration.
Honestly, I'd favour dropping any incentives for EVs, so long as Canada were to then redirect its efforts into transit and active transport. You just can't replace every combustion car on the road with an EV, but you can narrow roads, reduce lanes, and add trains, trams, and cycle paths.
The 15 ministers said that Israel's "strategic partnership, backing, and support of the U.S. and President Donald Trump" make this a "propitious time" to formally steal most of Palestine.
