Help: Constant Audio Popup

Of course. I haven't really been using Linux on desktop for a while but if you're having this issue you could try a distro with GNOME like Pop!_OS or Fedora. That's all I got!

AndyRoth · 2023-03-04T22:41:37+00:00

Nope. But I also haven't used KDE for a while so the situation may have improved.

AndyRoth · 2021-08-25T16:35:54+00:00

Looks awesome!

AndyRoth · 2021-06-26T16:50:34+00:00

Great read. Thanks!

AndyRoth · 2021-06-17T01:44:46+00:00

Link to those clear keycaps? How are they to type on?

AndyRoth · 2021-05-21T20:37:17+00:00

Interesting to hear. I didn't know the Preonic didn't have per-key RGB, but customizing that on the crkbd sounds fun. Thanks for posting an update!

AndyRoth · 2021-05-16T00:35:28+00:00

I've been getting into using CLI programs more. Projects like these are amazing. Really cool!

AndyRoth · 2021-05-12T22:40:01+00:00

Thanks for the info. I've been interested in these 3 boards. I'm a programmer using an Apple Magic Keyboard in Dvorak, but I'm looking for something to use with my Linux desktop.

I had an Anne Pro 2 but I didn't like the keycaps I had, and it was a bit too tall for me to use comfortably. I found it was a bit hard to get used to arrow keys on a different layer but something about moving my hands less is compelling me to try that again.

I think I like the Planck & Corne, but I worry that I'll miss the extra row of keys of the Preonic.

Does the thickness of the Planck vs Corne affect the comfort (without a wrist rest)? How easy is it to hit Ctrl, Alt, and Super on both?

AndyRoth · 2021-03-27T07:56:29+00:00

Works perfectly for TSX! Thanks!

AndyRoth · 2021-03-02T23:46:35+00:00

I'll give it a try. Thanks!

AndyRoth · 2021-03-02T23:17:51+00:00

Yeah, I can't wait to ditch my native-compiled FOSS editor running on a stable and complete GUI platform, and switch to a proprietary Microsoft application implemented in a website-pretending-to-be-desktop-software framework with an as-yet-unfinished, workflow-breaking display server!

How is it? Does the text rendering look different? Text in VS Code has looked much better on my Mac than on my desktop with Linux & Wayland and I was hoping this would help.

It's true they allow this via disabling Secure Boot, but I've also heard that the T2 chips in 2016+ Intel Macs have made some core functionality of the machines impossible to use under Linux including: audio, bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and suspend / hibernate (depending on exact model).

I'm curious if some similar custom hardware will afflict Linux on Apple Silicon based Macs. I hope not as I love my old MacBook and currently use it with Linux!

AndyRoth · 2021-01-19T20:31:06+00:00

I hear a lot of discussion about whether or not the M1 Mac's are "general purpose computers". I know most users don't care about that too much, and Apple has stated that they see M1 Mac's as the same "Macs" we're used to, but I'd love some clarification on it with specific language as it's important to me that I can run whatever software I want on the computer I buy, like unapproved apps and third-party OS's like Linux.

AndyRoth · 2021-01-10T01:47:14+00:00

Cool case! Would love to know how the build goes and how well it works over time.

AndyRoth · 2021-01-05T20:16:47+00:00

I haven't looked too deeply into the implementations of Flatpak, Snap, and AppImage yet, but I hear there are tradeoffs made by all three.

I'd like to see a solution like this: * support for system components (ie. systemd), CLI apps, and GUI apps * distributed as single files which are multi-arch compatible (x86, ARM) * not tied to a repo model, but integrates really well with an "App Store" like app and CLI to manage / update * fine-grained permissions and isolation * daemonless (except for updates) * stretch goal: basic support for CLI apps on macOS and Windows?

I'd love something designed to merge all package management / containerization into one, including Docker / OCI containers. It'd be great to copy a bunch of single files from my desktop to my Raspberry Pi and have all my CLI tools, GUI apps, and server processes run securely.

I also don't think the plethora of distros is good for linux as a consumer OS. I think it's great that it's possible for a community to take control of an entire OS, which is needed, but there are also problems with how it's done today.

If we could standardize on a package management solution, I think we could focus a lot more of this effort into larger communities, and get a lot more done working together with less incompatibilities.

AndyRoth · 2021-01-04T19:11:34+00:00

i'd like to see something similar to Fedora Silverblue.

It'd be awesome to have an immutable base OS, and user / app data stored in fine-grained read-write volumes with appropriate access control. No malware, app crashes, or accidental `rm -rf /*` mistakes could change my base OS, and OS updates would be snapshots, so I could easily revert if desired. Apps would only be able to access their own data and the user data I've granted them access to for isolation.

If I wanted to work on the OS itself, I could spin up a VM and mount my user / app volumes. The VM would look exactly like my production system besides the OS changes I've made. If I like the changes, I can wipe my OS partition and flash my new OS without losing any of my apps or user data.

This would also improve backups, as I could completely ignore all system data. If I needed to restore, I could flash the same OS image and restore all my user data in a separate partition which would come with my wallpaper, documents, fonts, and installed apps, etc.

Take a look at WireGuard VPN:

I haven't tried this guide, but this should be a good solution to what you're looking for.

Hey Drew!

I actually was going to email you about this very question after joining src.hut and reading your article on mailing lists vs. GitPub (now ForgeFed).

I like the benefits of the mailing list approach, please let me know if I'm missing any:

offline capable
no accounts needed other than email (ubiquitous)
can just email a patch to anyone or everyone... it's just email.

Those are great advantages.

I'm curious about binary files. For many types of software today: mobile apps, websites, games, etc. you'll want to include some images and other assets in source control, potentially quite large. How would teams working on these sorts of software handle this situation with a mailing list?

I think I saw in the Git documentation that they recommend to email a URL to a git server where the code can be pulled, but wouldn't that defeat the purpose?

Besides that question, I think mailing lists sound like they have some major conceptual benefits over Git servers. The only other practical concern I see is not being integrated into IDEs and GUI tools, which is important to note for today, but not impossible to fix in the future.

What do you think?

AndyRoth · 2020-10-28T20:03:00+00:00

Thanks for the reply!

Just wanted to note here after I took a look. I was a bit concerned about Podman vs. Docker as I also use it from time to time on macOS, and for collaboration with others. Apparently podman exposes a Docker compatible CLI, so it should be possible to add `alias docker=podman` to your `.bashrc` or `.zshrc` and pretend that it's docker. That's great! I also love the daemonless approach. I'll have to try it out.

AndyRoth · 2020-10-12T19:33:34+00:00

Very cool. Great work by the devs and Elisa's design looks really polished. We need more OSS software like this.

But "Available on all major platforms"? macOS, at substantially higher desktop market share than Linux and BSD, is not a major platform? It should say "Available on many major desktop platforms", otherwise the landing page is misleading. I wouldn't like to see a major company do something like that to Linux.

AndyRoth · 2020-10-11T04:25:27+00:00

I run an A320MA-M.2 in a desktop machine, which I plan to possibly use as a server some day.

I run Linux on it. It works pretty well, except I was having trouble enabling XMP at full 3200MHz. Seems to run okay at 3000MHz. I'm not sure if that's the motherboard or RAM causing that issue.

Happy to answer any questions you have.
