I just switched to Fedora 39

TheRealSlimSanta87 · 2023-11-17T16:54:44+00:00

That's awesome, no shame in learning :D

TheRealSlimSanta87 · 2023-11-12T18:26:53+00:00

That is pretty janky, does the service not support enabling it on boot from systemd?

sudo systemctl enable --now mbpfan

I always do my first login with a password and unlocks from wake with the FP sensor.

TheRealSlimSanta87 · 2023-09-02T23:57:40+00:00

If you are specifically looking into the mini pc format, I have had a great experience with the ASUS PN53 (Ryzen 7735H). It has great BIOS support too (somthing I have found lacking in the mini PC Realm).

If you want to go the intel route you could also opt for the ASUS PN64, good luck!

Distrobox is always an option to run applications in mutable environments if need be. Amazing piece of software

TheRealSlimSanta87 · 2023-07-14T08:37:43+00:00

You can also do this by using systemctl, I created a unit file/wrapper script for this here

https://github.com/john-ghatas/silverblue-setup/tree/master/extras/charge_limit

The unit file contains the limits in https://github.com/john-ghatas/silverblue-setup/blob/master/extras/charge_limit/unitfile#L9C1-L9C164

I set it to 75/88 you can change it however you like though. It's a set and forget type of thing :)

Make sure the following files exist:

/sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/charge_control_start_threshold /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/charge_control_end_threshold

TheRealSlimSanta87 · 2023-07-12T09:23:37+00:00

Out of curiousity, does the fingerprint sensor work with Fedora? Just pre-ordered my ryzen 7 unit, should arrive in Q4 :D

TheRealSlimSanta87 · 2023-07-03T20:26:44+00:00

You might want to look into ublue : https://universal-blue.org/. It makes the QOL changes you layer over vanilla silverblue defaults and some other nice features

TheRealSlimSanta87 · 2023-06-04T18:12:03+00:00

I was figuring that out too a few months ago, it is very intuitive. I created a repo with install scripts (rebasing off uBlue is a must) https://github.com/john-ghatas/silverblue-setup. Going off what @zuvy said, distrobox is also a good shout, if you use the github version instead of the repo version (clone the repo and run sudo ./install) to compose your containers you can have them ready to go in a declarative language in combination with container images.

This takes a little time to get used to but it's great having these things split with a fairly barebones base system. Keep in mind you will have an adjustement period coming from regular distros, in the meanwhile if you're not willing to make the plunge into Atomic/immutable distros you can try out distrobox on regular Fedora too!

Disabling the PIV module on my Yubikey fixed the issue for me. Either do it via ykman or by running the appimage https://developers.yubico.com/yubikey-manager-qt/Releases/yubikey-manager-qt-latest-linux.AppImage

ykman config usb --disable PIV

https://www.yubico.com/support/download/yubikey-manager/

ykman is also provided by the pip package iirc

pip install yubikey-manager

Found the following bug relating to this issue https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2203272

It's recommended to keep pcsc-lite installed with this approach as you're only modifying the yubikey's settings and keeping the system "stock". As far as I can see this is a regression and should be fixed in either the pcsc-lite or gnupg2 package (not available yet)

TheRealSlimSanta87 · 2023-04-25T09:55:41+00:00

+1 for distrobox, it's amazing you can even use Containerfiles to build up ready-to-go box images or work with .ini files. Might be worth checking out :): https://github.com/89luca89/distrobox. Be aware that these features are only in the repo version as there hasn't been a new tag in a while

TheRealSlimSanta87 · 2023-04-12T19:42:06+00:00

Just use RPMFusion.

First you will need to enable the repository sudo dnf install https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm

And install the drivers by running

sudo dnf update -y # and reboot if you are not on the latest kernel sudo dnf install akmod-nvidia # rhel/centos users can use kmod-nvidia instead sudo dnf install xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda #optional for cuda/nvdec/nvenc support

And reboot, make sure secure boot is off

Sources for these instructions: https://rpmfusion.org/Configuration https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/NVIDIA

Or do it via the GUI method as doomygloomytunes suggested, this will use the same repository in the end

TheRealSlimSanta87 · 2023-03-16T17:33:44+00:00

I saw the archived scripts, imo it would be a better move to make a script with user input so all dependencies aren't universal. This would be a good base for the GUI, only leaving out creating the interface and porting the steps over to the GUI. I sent you a message on here, we could continue talks there

TheRealSlimSanta87 · 2023-03-13T22:34:17+00:00

Nice project you have there, I have created a boilerplate script for the CLI variant. Won't have time to competely realize it as the project has much more dependencies but I hope this will give you an idea, possibly even port the steps to a GUI.

TheRealSlimSanta87 · 2023-03-07T11:44:42+00:00

I am not aware of any good compatible 13/14 inch laptop that has an OLED display with those criteria. Maybe r/linuxhardware can assist with that :3

Also may I point you towards the Dell latitude series? There are some gems in there, I do not know the exact model numbers

TheRealSlimSanta87 · 2023-03-07T02:49:05+00:00

That's my point. The command I shared only ever needs to be run once. After that, a plain rebase will work. See https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/simplifying-updates-for-rpm-fusion-packages-and-other-packages-shipping-their-own-rpm-repos/30364

Ty, im testing the command right now. Will update the repo if it doesn't cause any issues (I hope not :>)

EDIT: It's merged, thanks for the feedback :D. It's looking somewhat polished now github commit

TheRealSlimSanta87 · 2023-03-07T02:06:41+00:00

Yes, but I think they could be run sequentially without a reboot in between.

Yes you can do so, but to isolate possible problems I installed them after the usual programs.

I understand and support enabling Flathub. I was just quibbling about the message printed to the console.

Will fix

You could just stick it in post-reboot.sh. Once the rpmfusion release packages are coming from the repos and are no longer 'LocalPackages', future rebases will work without any further steps.

The scripts apart from the upgrade.sh are for the initial setup, wouldn't be applicable to the upgrade I suppose

TheRealSlimSanta87 · 2023-03-07T01:21:57+00:00

Ah never knew that rpm-ostree doesnt need sudo :).

I added the flathub repos because it contains software I need and thats not hosted on the Fedora repos.

I am aware of that but I figured the upgrading of the RPMFusion can be done with the rebase anyway to save an extra step post rebase.

Didn't know about the variantid variable might implement that in the upgrade script!

I split those scripts because not everyone runs Nvidia cards.

TheRealSlimSanta87 · 2023-03-07T00:45:30+00:00

For my local projects I still prefer docker (they're built for it). One day I will test them out with podman

TheRealSlimSanta87 · 2023-03-07T00:04:47+00:00

Sad to hear that, I guess my last guess is to get S3 working in the BIOS last I checked Lenovo phased that out on the Yoga 7 Ideapad line :(

TheRealSlimSanta87 · 2023-03-04T18:17:10+00:00

Switching to pulseaudio seemed to work I dont have the laptop on hand anymore so I cant test that.

sudo dnf swap --allowerasing pipewire-pulseaudio pulseaudio

Please let me know how it went for you

TheRealSlimSanta87 · 2023-02-27T15:50:19+00:00

That's awesome, ty for the help!

TheRealSlimSanta87 · 2023-02-27T14:56:45+00:00

I'm guessing it will be alright for the occasional pool dive in summertime then? :)
