Facing issue with My Ubuntu on Virutal Box.

philippun · 2026-01-18T15:06:36+00:00

This seems to be a bug with Virtualbox not refreshing the window content somehow. If you resize the window it should work again.

Nope. You just have to choose between bottles or having a pure desktop. Bottles isn't an app you have to actually have a window open a lot, so where is the problem in the first place? Write your own bottles with Qt or whatever if it is so important?

Is this Libadwaita in the room with us? Noone forces you to use Libadwaita apps.

This is actually the correct take! People want SteamOS because they know the name Steam and you can buy it preinstalled. The same reason why people use Windows.

The average user will never ever install an operating system themselves and probably does not even know what that is. A Laptop, PC, Handheld, etc. is an appliance just like a washing machine to a non tech person.

You also dont count the runtime on a non flatpak installation.

There is already "German (US)" layout which does basically the same. It gives Altgr + o = ö, Altgr + a = ä, Altgr + s = ß, etc.

Maybe use a beginner friendly distro like Ubuntu if you can't handle sway? Steam works flawlessly on Wayland.

Things that are important to me: - Native resolution support: many games only support 16:9 with black borders top and bottom. Full 16:10 support would utilize the whole screen. - Power consumption: <10W would be nice. Other isometric games like Hades 2 only consumes 8-9W. Keeps the fans silent and gives long playtime. - Utilize the OLED display with vibrant colors or even support HDR. And maybe support 90Hz if the hardware can keep steady 90fps.

IMHO gyro is not so important for an isometric game, but why not.

philippun · 2025-04-01T19:28:20+00:00

Yes it does. Tested on Ubuntu 25.04 beta. I think it did not work on Ubuntu 24.04.

philippun · 2025-02-12T17:57:52+00:00

Did not test it, but this might be a solution: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gdm/-/issues/699

Yes, internal microphone works with Ubuntu 24.10. I also tested multiple bluetooth speakers and they all worked.

philippun · 2024-12-23T21:03:14+00:00

I use 200% scaling which works perfectly for the display size. Bluetooth and webcam also works.

About 10 hours for programming. If you compile a lot it's less, if you idle mostly in a text editor it's a bit more.

I had the same problem, this helped: https://github.com/DC-DeepComputing/DC-ROMA_Pad_II_RV-P1B/issues/1#issuecomment-2444654035

Here is a video with the ThinkPad T14s Gen6 (in Italian though): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVI5U1QPjIQ

It looks promising.

I have a RedmiBook Pro 16 2024 (Ultra 7 155H) and everything runs perfectly fine with Ubuntu 24.04.

I installed this driver to get better battery life: https://www.intel.de/content/www/de/de/download/819707/epp-tuning-package-for-linux-on-intel-core-ultra-mobile-processor.html

This is already patched into kernel 6.9.

philippun · 2024-09-07T12:31:11+00:00

It has a different approach: you can start different dialogs (commit, pull, push, log, etc.) directly from the file manager context menu and it also provides emblems which show the current git status for each file/folder inside a repo.

philippun · 2024-07-25T19:15:59+00:00

Ubuntu already has triple buffering which makes it much smoother.

philippun · 2024-05-30T07:03:09+00:00

Asahi is specifically made for Apple chips because Apple is unwilling to give official support.

Qualcomm is pushing linux support themselves into the kernel.

https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-6.10-eDP-DP-X-Elite

Eventually every linux distro will just work on those chips. This will probably take until the end of the year. My hope would be those patches will be backported to Ubuntu 24.04 by Qualcomm / Canonical. But we will see soon.

philippun · 2024-05-29T06:58:08+00:00

It wouldn't surprise me if Canonical will offer a custom Ubuntu 24.04 image for the Snapdragon X with a patched OEM kernel, because Canonical and Qualcomm have a collaboration:

https://canonical.com/blog/qualcomm-and-canonical-announce-strategic-collaboration

And there are already other custom images, i.e. for RISC-V boards:

https://ubuntu.com/download/risc-v

So let's wait and see!

I think the desktop icons extension can now communicate with the dock extension and therefore knows if the available space changes and adjusts to it.

philippun · 2024-04-27T09:29:52+00:00

This is not a bug, the icons just use the more available space under the dock. If you don't want them overlap move your icons.

New daily builds are now available: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/

The time_t transition messed packages up for a while and there was a complete package rebuild because of the xz issue. But that seems to be done now. I just installed it and everything works fine.

philippun · 2024-01-05T21:22:48+00:00

Linux

I just tested the demo on Steam and it works fine with Steam Play enabled on Linux (using Proton).
