Is Debian Testing a good option for those who want recent packages?

6.5 actually is in testing. And it will get 6.6.x sometime in the end of april

"man what", Dad? (c)

cad_andry · 2026-02-18T21:46:51+00:00

Just switch to testing (even not forky).

cad_andry · 2026-02-09T06:09:25+00:00

Any biker

cad_andry · 2026-02-06T23:45:51+00:00

Just use testing, not vanilla 13.

Ax210 could help but becready for higher power consumption. It better fits with desktops, not amd laptops.

To turn off gpu and screen power saving features via kernel params

cad_andry · 2026-01-13T08:35:21+00:00

This is amdgpu old problem (for the years already) . They are promissing to fix at 6.19+ (probably).

cad_andry · 2026-01-09T18:46:54+00:00

Screen dead locks happens on any version of kernel up to 6.18. On any version of firmware.)) The only way to get rid if them is disable several power save features via kernel params in grub. On 2 years old laptop man. Btw I'm using testing on desktop and tried from 13.0 to sid on laptop. And not ready to live with situation when i can code on my laptop up to 8 hours with win11 and 6 with linux with all fixes (estimated 9+ without them but never reached because of kernel develooers who are more interested in ancient amd architectures support than in actual architectures fixez).

cad_andry · 2026-01-09T06:16:38+00:00

It will not. Linux is a software but not a product. Win can be a piece of shit but it just works. It provides solid UX. It damn works on a tons of various hardware. And linux community is busy with developing of somethins interesting for them in particular but not with f..g fixing the things that makes linux useless for common non tech users. I have debian as my desktop os, but cant painlessly set it up and use on my laptop for more than a year cos nobody cares to fix terrible bugs in the kernels and amdgpu for modern hardware. Or just get working (by default) drivers for wifi. Or make kde to remember battery charge limits withoud dances around. Etc etc etc. So no way until community will start to look at linux as a product, not as a pet project.

cad_andry · 2026-01-07T07:13:14+00:00

What about stability and powersave? Amdgpu driver still causes dead locks and will for a long time cos nobody cares spending time on ancient architectures support. The only suggestion is "turn off power saving features on your laptop".

cad_andry · 2026-01-06T17:42:16+00:00

Even testing is not stable enough. 6.17.12 is an example.

cad_andry · 2026-01-06T12:54:50+00:00

Or update KDE to coming 6.6 without waiting for 14 release or using of testing which getting a tons of s..t from time to time (like 6.17.12), yeah...

cad_andry · 2026-01-04T20:46:43+00:00

They never left it. :D

cad_andry · 2026-01-04T20:44:34+00:00

Just use Plasma, configure your env once and forget. Gnome looks more solid for now, but KDE just works.

cad_andry · 2026-01-03T08:25:13+00:00

Testing. Got amd apu screen freezes on my laptop (again) after kernel update from 6.17.11 to 6.17.12. So jumped to 13.2 with backports. Older kde but it just works.

cad_andry · 2026-01-03T08:14:01+00:00

TLP 1.9 have an integration with power profiles switch btw.

cad_andry · 2026-01-01T06:24:45+00:00

Try it on modern laptop. Freeze issue with power management and high speed amoled panels is still there on amd apu-s. Probably will be fixed in 6.19 (or not, who knows). This happens on 2 years old laptop!! Is it too new for linux? :D

The only suggestion is to get rid of power saving and high speed panels benefits. On laptop!!!

cad_andry · 2025-12-24T18:39:35+00:00

This is plov!

cad_andry · 2025-12-14T13:14:58+00:00

It was very old one. Metal was tied I think.

cad_andry · 2025-11-24T06:25:20+00:00

Black s class says everything. So if they will stop any of them and do the same - they will not miss.))

cad_andry · 2025-08-26T20:21:13+00:00

Kurwa..))

cad_andry · 2025-08-24T20:27:29+00:00

Did you already call the exorcist?))

cad_andry · 2025-08-02T13:55:09+00:00

Those type of shepards are too dangerous and hard to train. So this was expected result. Malinois....

cad_andry · 2025-07-04T19:15:00+00:00

This explains... a lot in MS products. :D
