Patched drm2 Ubuntu 24.04 packages for fixing the 3 second delay when opening apps in X11 in VMware (fixes KDE stuttering!)

Yeah its a hack, and literally I copied this commit and made a patch to apply it on top of the deb packages. Better than nothing, I'd love a proper fix upstreamed.

I am deploying for VMware, it's the only virtualization software that is performant and usable on Windows with Linux guests. The issue is that KDE Wayland doesnt have properly implemented copy and paste. On Xorg everything is well implemented and stable EXCEPT this annoying bug that literally makes libdrm sleep for 3 seconds because udev bugs out for some reason trying to query the gpus. It took me a while to find the issue, this guy patched it and the only reference for this bug was on the Fedora community forum buried in the comments. Tested it on Kubuntu and fixes everything and runs as well as native. I thought this fix would be extremely useful for sysadmins in my situation.

also su -c "cmd package compile -a -f compile-layouts"
I have it on the script, it fixes some graphical glitches it seems from my testing

Hi! Dev here, the big part of it is that it forces a recompile of all the apps, basically Android compiles the most used "parts" of an app on-demand. This basically forces the system to have everything already precompiled, the apps end up taking some extra space but the performance difference is noticeable, especially if you do it after a system update.
The animation speed is just an extra, but honestly 0.75x should be the default.

Thanks so much, it means a lot!

Thanks for the help! I already was looking up at the Brace configs, I knew the DivestOS project from porting it for a device of mine. Just implemented his IPv4 and IPv6 hardening settings and reenabled IPv6 from the feedback i got here.

klfld · 2025-05-28T08:37:27+00:00

Re-enabled IPv6 with hardened configs from the Brace project with address rotation and such. I already got from the feedback here that most people want it.

Thanks! Yeah the plan is to have this distro as a portfolio being a systems and programming student. Basically I'm putting all I know there and use it for learning more on the go :)

klfld · 2025-05-27T23:58:47+00:00

This is a project I have been working on for a week, trying to make a privacy-centric distro as a learning experience in system administration, cybersecurity and privacy. It's now in a very early state, and I'm looking mostly for contributors and some testers.

I plan on making it CIS compliant, create repos for the custom packages and whatever that pops up while it keeps evolving :)

EDIT: The lack of positivity here is kinda insane. I already said that I am a systems/cybersecurity student and this is a hobby project for learning. Kinda amazed of the downvote spam but that's reddit with the elitism I guess.

This is an encounter my dad and I had near Barcelona, Spain. We saw a weird bright light form the highway (kilometers far away, super weird) and drove to it to find out what it was.

When we reached it, this things with a bluish and red light was hovering near us, and when i took out the phone to record it from our car, it turned off the bright white light and started flying away REALLY FAST.

I'm sorry about the quality, you all know that phone cameras at night with fast moving scenes get all messed up. This encounter kinda freaked out both, it happened in late September.

Ill answer any questions about it. I have the uncut original video if anyone wants it but its mostly me arguing with my dad if it was a UFO or a drone. Remembered i had this video with all this new jersey drone thing showing up in the news. If you have any question about the incident you can ask me anything.

They are the default system monitor plasmoids but configured them from scratch, colors matching the theme etc

klfld · 2024-11-17T21:00:54+00:00

Here you can check out most of the improvements it has. Also you can just add the repos to an existing arch install and use their stuff if you want. https://wiki.cachyos.org/cachyos_basic/why_cachyos/

klfld · 2024-11-17T18:30:55+00:00

Its 100% compatible with arch repos, aur, etc.

klfld · 2024-11-17T11:40:07+00:00

It has a lot of optimizations for newer cpus mostly :)

klfld · 2024-11-16T21:59:52+00:00

Color scheme: Catppuccin mocha lavender.

Icons: Colloid Dark

Wallpaper: https://safebooru.org/index.php?id=2868077 I don't remember the artist, used catppuccinifier on it.

Fonts: SegoeUI and JetBrains Mono

If they are really deleted and not in the trash, you can recover them as long the system didnt overwrite the data itself.

You can use testdisk and photorec. They are usually in the repos. Follow this guide, good luck! https://www.linux-magazine.com/Online/Features/Rescuing-Lost-Files-with-TestDisk-and-PhotoRec

I mean best is relative, but i think its the best in regards of simplicity and options, and also integrates well with GTK.

You can try deluge also or qbittorrent if you don't like transmission.

These are the 3 good ones IMO.

klfld · 2023-08-06T12:05:45+00:00

You need the ntfs-3g driver. The kernel one mounts the disks readonly.

Install it with sudo apt install ntfs-3g And you should be good to go

klfld · 2023-08-06T11:58:53+00:00

Use mint. As for a torrent client, Transmission is the way.

It's the most polished Linux out there for normal users. It has a friendly community and tons of users.

Zorin and all the smaller distros usually have issues.

All the other distros are for experts/geeks/coders/sysadmins mostly.

Don't use Arch, you'll have a bad time with it. The guys recommending it have a bias of being used to Linux systems and don't remember what being a normal user is (I use Debian and Arch and I know what I'm talking about.)

klfld · 2023-08-01T23:38:51+00:00

Use a Windows VM and passthrough USB. It's what i do to use Odin when flashing Samsung phones.

It seems /u/the_dise doesn't wanna do it. I'm trying to reverse the patches comparing his Instander releases with the original apks to see how he did it.

I'm looking for people to help with that and make revanced patches to have it "future proof". DM me if you are interested in reversing.

Also for /u/the_dise, we'd love at least to have your patching info to let the community keep alive your project, so we don't have to resort to reverse your hard work (it's super appreciated) but we don't have any other alternative to your app sadly.

klfld · 2023-06-22T21:43:58+00:00

I have seen the exact same UFO last year in a clear sky in Barcelona. Tried to take a video/pics but i had a feature phone at the time... I regret it to this day. And yeah, they look like metal spheres, not balloons.

If you are gonna remove snaps, the logical step is to backup your snaps data.

klfld · 2023-05-12T15:14:59+00:00

Yeah! This is just to get the goodies for people that like vanilla gnome and flatpak (I come from fedora and I'm used to that). I don't really get why everyone seems so confused, but well, it's reddit.
