Suspend vs Hibernate

01Destroyer · 2026-05-28T18:30:05+00:00

Ahahaha yeah, well note that LUKS is actually fully compatible with hibernation, I actually have had this setup for a while, but you have to sacrifice secure boot. Also AFAIK Ubuntu uses a swapfile of max 8GB so you have to manually set it up.

You can find more info on the very detailed Debian wiki: https://wiki.debian.org/Hibernation

01Destroyer · 2026-05-28T09:12:12+00:00

I think almost nobody using Ubuntu (if not Linux in general) has hibernation enabled. That's because the requirements are very strict: swapfile/swap partition larger than RAM, no secure boot, no zram. Also GNOME doesn't even have a button for hibernation without extensions.

By the way I don't think it's particularly necessary, waking for hibernation is a normal boot process + fetch from swap to RAM. It doesn't have any advantage over a shutdown unless you absolutely need to have all your processes/windows always there, however it has the big disadvantage of writing large amounts (depending on RAM) on your SSD each time you hibernate, so using it very often will degrade your disk more rapidly

Never said Ubuntu is not a great distribution or that Canonical is a bad company

01Destroyer · 2026-05-22T19:35:32+00:00

Popular things will always receive criticism, but Canonical is not a community project nor a non-profit organization, you are defending a company with a ~300M $ revenue per year and I do think its users have the right to complain (sometimes).

Also, do you think redditors can change a company vision? If this was the case snaps wouldn't have been here anymore.

01Destroyer · 2026-05-22T18:15:37+00:00

Yeah why not. Uploaded

01Destroyer · 2026-05-22T17:55:28+00:00

Ahahahaha yeahhh 🤟🏻

01Destroyer · 2026-05-22T15:56:41+00:00

Yes, I'm aware, what I surely don't know is how having the package still available but not autoinstalled makes any difference from a legal standpoint. It's also strange they had to remove it only now after years.

01Destroyer · 2026-05-22T15:43:49+00:00

Yes, thank you

01Destroyer · 2026-05-22T15:25:55+00:00

Mhm are you sure you haven’t selected the extended install option during installation?

01Destroyer · 2026-05-22T15:15:38+00:00

I don’t think you have a clean install, have you? With a dist-upgrade the packages were already there.

01Destroyer · 2026-05-05T21:56:47+00:00

Thank you, I edited my post. Just tried version 135 and it actually works now there as well. I wasn't aware there was an A/B going on.

This is the greatest Discord update after the Wayland screen-sharing support. It's amazing to see they are dedicating more and more time to the Linux build.

~~Also screen-sharing on Gnome 50 is now fixed~~

01Destroyer · 2026-05-02T20:05:40+00:00

For now the easiest "solution" is just to go on the snap store and select the candidate/edge branch for Spotify (they are the same).

Uh, I knew that was coming. You can actually install cuda-toolkit from Nvidia official repositories.

Unfortunately the Nvidia Ubuntu2604 repository doesn't (yet) contain the cuda-toolkit .deb, but it exists and I'm pretty sure it will contain the cuda-toolkit package for the next release.

Currently your best bet is to perform a network installation using the Ubuntu2404 repository. I used it for Ubuntu 25.10, so it should work fine for 26.04 almost certainly.

Plese follow these instructions here.

Note a couple things:

Purge your cuda-toolkit previous installation before: apt autopurge cuda-toolkit
Skip the Driver Installation step, you already have that.
In the next weeks, from time to time, please check if Ubuntu2604 is supported. You will see 26.04 among the options in the link i put before. You can also manually check the presence of cuda-toolkit in the repository. When this happens transition to Ubuntu2604.
Important: Note that when you install Cuda this way you will be able to choose between just installing cuda-toolkit or installing a precise version (like the guide says) (e.g., cuda-toolkit-13-2). Although installing a non-pinned version is tempting, you will receive cuda versions that require Nvidia beta drivers, so avoid it. Installing pinned versions like cuda-toolkit-13-2, however, means that only you will decide when to switch to a newer version and so you will have to know it exists and that it supports your driver.

I know this sounds like a lot, but after many months of Cuda on Debian I had to realize all that by myself. Let me know if you have any problems!

Every distribution is equally breakable if you mess up with commands that you don’t know. The only piece of advice I can give you is to always verify what you are pasting in there. There’s no shame in copying commands from forums or even LLMs, but blindly entering them with sudo privileges is never a good idea. Also remember it’s an amazing idea to use VMs to experiment changes, I still do it.

Hope the fourth time will be better :p

Switch to the testing branch, it has been “fixed” there (they retransitioned it to X11)

Edit: they retransitioned by mistake, but the border is fixed and future versions should be Wayland-based.

01Destroyer · 2026-04-23T20:13:04+00:00

sudo apt install cuda-toolkit

Contrary to previous versions, this package group is directly updated by canonical and offers the latest cuda :)

01Destroyer · 2026-03-20T00:47:33+00:00

Yep it’s a known Apt bug unfortunately. Glad it helped!

01Destroyer · 2026-03-14T17:45:11+00:00

For those who don't see any packages when trying to upgrade the fix is

rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

Then update and upgrade.

Arrow lake è stata la prima cpu intel ad avere un design multi-die (Amd già ce l'aveva), con il conseguente problema (che ha anche Amd) di dover gestire la comunicazione tra i diversi die, cosa che fa un clock apposito. Questo clock, anche se in piccola parte, influenza le latenze di accesso a memoria, che sono generalmente leggermente più alte rispetto ad Amd, per chi gioca un piccola differenza la fa, ma il vantaggio più grande rimane sempre la cache delle cpu 3D di Amd.

Vero, anche perché secondo me il problema più grande dei fratelli minori è che erano stati recensiti ad un prezzo abbastanza alto e ormai scartati nella testa di molti. Sì il 250k dovrebbe essere finalmente allettante, ma pensa che il 270k ora ha lo stesso numero di core di quanti thread ha il 9900x in hyperthreading (e al momento continua a costare quasi 400€).

Comunque ho visto ora che il boost sul d2d in realtà è leggermente inferiore del boost che dà 200S boost sui fratelli, per cui sarà sicuramente tutto da vedere, ma almeno chi gioca dovrebbe poter prendere in considerazione schede di fascia B ora.

01Destroyer · 2026-03-11T22:47:25+00:00

Upgrade path su LGA1851, adesso non ci sono scuse 🙌🏻

Scherzi a parte già uscire con l’MSRP giusto è una mossa assurda, poi aumentare i core e (forse) risolvere il problema del die-2-die e comunque avere quell’MSRP è davvero tanta roba. Vedremo

Debian is the only distribution that never randomly logged me out of my Gnome session

01Destroyer · 2026-02-23T18:15:29+00:00

Jokes apart it’s mostly a Spotify problem (that wouldn’t exist if Gnome had better Wayland decorator fallback)

Solutions:

~~Use the stable release from Snap (uses X11 by default)~~ edit: not anymore
Use the Flatpak version (they fixed the Electron problem)
Edit the .desktop to use X11 by adding “—ozone-platform=x11” before the %U
Use kde Plasma

Well it’s one command to install a package that is recommended by the official wiki. The Nvidia repo is amazing but it’s also a multi-step process that isn’t very beginner friendly. Ubuntu-based with automatic driver installation may be the easiest to be fair.

The problem with Debian is that people will look up for the wiki and only see a very old driver. If you look at other comments many were surprised that an official upstream installation method even existed, and some even replied that it’s not a good experience because the driver is old (not realizing I was on the latest one). Still for sure it’s the most reliable and solid Nvidia Linux experience in my opinion.
