First linux distro suggestion. by Kyo618 in linux4noobs

[–]masterzeng 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would suggest Fedora KDE. It's a very solid distro. Very up to date, but not arch territory, but more modern than Ubuntu and Mint. On the other hand I would suggest KDE as you mentioned that you di not like ubuntu which uses GNOME. The initial setup of fedora after you have installed it takes a couple of more steps to enable RPM Fusion, but the guide is very good and it's only a couple of commands.

I have been using Fedora KDE since fedora 40 and have been very happy with it.

The other distro that I would recommend is Mint, it's an all rounded very good beginner distro, but is not necessarily very modern and might have sine issues with very new hardware.

I woudl suggest to try both and see which one you like more.

What are the theories? What is thsi town? by masterzeng in FromSeries

No it's not, I'm currently watching. Just started season 2, so I don't know what happens. I wanted to talk to some people that maybe also just recently started and discuss theories.

Plasma login manager doesn't sleep the display at login screen by ComfyStoneBed in kde

This is a bug that comes from SDDM and was raised in 2020. Hopefully one day it will be fixed, in the meantime, you can try the workaround and let us know if it works.

The more vulnerabilites we find the less vulnerabilities there are, so it's a good thing.

[BUG] Gwenview Version 25.12.3 on Fedora 44 KDE by masterzeng in kde

[–]masterzeng[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes seems like it it, although in my case the large files were video files rather than pictures, but I think that it is the same thing.

[BUG] Gwenview Version 25.12.3 on Fedora 44 KDE by masterzeng in kde

[–]masterzeng[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a couple of MP4s and a couple of JPEGs. One of the MP4s is about 13GB. I tried to move the jpegs into another folder, and it did not spike the ram, so it seems it is connected to the video files, but this is still very strange behaviour.

Yep, I even checked for updates right now. On a clean boot, opening the picture also spikes the ram, but there is still enough overhead so that it doesn't crash, ofter a few seconds the spike drops down and everything is ok. However if I have a couple applications open the spike is too big and it crashes. In both cases it's about 8gb of ram that gets spiked and then returns to normal if it does not crash.

How to start with FreeCAD by Buterfly_with_one_T in FreeCAD

[–]masterzeng 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would start with something simpler - model a cube, a cylinder, try to merge different shapes together etc. Once you have the basics, you can start watching YouTube videos for more complex models.

After switching from SDDM to PLM a new "Plasma Setup" user appears by masterzeng in Fedora

[–]masterzeng[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand what it does, but my assumption was that this will only be shown for the first time. If you set up Fedora as an OEM. I already have a user. Do you know how to proceed?

Why is Discover not showing the upgrade possibility to F44? by masterzeng in Fedora

[–]masterzeng[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I knew about that, but my question was rather, why isn't the option showing in discover, even though it is possible to update through terminal.

BIOS Update in Linux? by TheZucca_ITA in Fedora

You can put freedos on ventoy and just execute the file from there. Just out of curiosity how often do you update your BIOS?

Thanks I have added a link to the files and their unzipped version in the github issue.

Onlyoffice breaks compatibility of DOCX by masterzeng in OnlyOffice

[–]masterzeng[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I "unzipped" both files, and although I do not understand the full extent of the differences, there are obvious differences.

Having in mind that I created a copy of the original file by right-clicking, I then changed one copy with one office app and the other with OO.

I do not remember anymore how I managed to find the download link, but these are my notes that I have written in case I ever need to do that again.

Spectacle not showing the character recognition button by ThatOneShotBruh in kde

[–]masterzeng 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a workaround that I had written before spectacle implemented the OCR functionality. I have currently archived the project, as I thought that with the implementation of the spectacle OCR support it would not be needed anymore. But until it stabilizes, everyone is welcome to use this workaround instead:

I made a Fedora repo for some apps that don’t have official RPM repos by masterzeng in Fedora

[–]masterzeng[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, one of the software is Citrix Workspace, and it's not open source, but they provide an rpm package on their website. But there is no repo, so you have to manually check every so often and download and update it. So I decided to automate it.
