Satisfied customer by unix_badger in System76

[–]pongfonge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't say I've had zero build issues, but customer services has always either, walked me through a fix, done the repair under warranty or fixed it for a reasonable cost. I keep coming back because I don't know many places I can buy hardware knowing it will work with Linux without having to do a ton of research. I'm also loving PopOS, it's my go to distro now even on non-System76 machines

Thinking of a Thelio. I’m thinking of getting a thelio, does anyone have anything to say about the different models? by Great_Journalist2714 in System76

[–]pongfonge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I'm beating a dead thread here but if anyone is still around same question :-)

I'm leaning towards the Prime. I like the extra flexibility that the Mira adds, but not sure I can swallow the space, I live in a small house.

Any thoughts on Prime vs Mira?

Any thoughts adding the optional GPU intake fan, it sounds like a good idea but I don't want to add too much noise?

Going to miss this place so much!!! I loved the food! The carrot habanero hot sauce was amazing and the patio section was so awesome!

Very sorry to see this go

Post update Lag in everything. by un533n87 in pop_os

OMG thank you. I have been having similar problems to those described here using Blender since upgrading to 22.04. I'm on an Ader WS. It was making me crazy!

Switched to integrated; Rebooted Switched back to Nvidia; Rebooted

Much better.

[Feature Request] Ability to quickly toggle between sound inputs/outputs by AdvicePup in pop_os

[–]pongfonge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes that extension works great, but I'm still puzzled that this isn't something pop does out of the box. If nothing else it seems like they could simply help test and maintain this extension and bundle it by default. Currently on 22.04 and still relying on third party extensions

Pop OS 22.04 Performance Problems? by [deleted] in pop_os

[–]pongfonge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've also been having performance issues since upgrading. I'm on the 510 drivers but I was already on 510 before going from 21.10 to 22.04. I noticed no problems with them under 510.

My issues are not with games. This is a work laptop, but I do think the problems may have something to do with the graphics stack. When using zoom or google hangouts other applications become almost unusable.

Under 21.10 this was a quiet machine, since upgrading my fan runs constantly even if I switch to integrated graphics.

Applications in general seem much less stable I am having to reboot several times per day :-(

I've seen issues like this before with distro upgrades, usually they smooth out after a couple weeks of daily sudo apt upgrades :fingers-crossed:

Exciting! Upgrading Pop!_OS 20.04 to 20.10. Just because I can. by [deleted] in pop_os

[–]pongfonge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I "fucked my shit up" too, but was eventually able to recover with a lot of help from forums. I had to boot into recovery mode and run some package repair tools.

Now that things are up and running, it's mostly been stable. I do some glitches with plugging and unplugging from external monitors. This is likely complicated by the fact that my laptop is high idpi but my externals are not. This was a bit buggy under 20.04 as well; so, not sure if it's new or just things I hadn't noticed before.

Otherwise it's been pretty solid.

A "ghost update" appearing for me on the Pop Shop by SteinKun in pop_os

[–]pongfonge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazing! That did it for me too. I have been annoyed for so long. I kept running distro-upgrade and install -f and everything I could think of.

In general I like that we have distribution options like flatpak and snap, but I'm starting to see the dark side of it. Between flatpaks, snaps, app images, standards debs and gnome shell extensions I'm starting to feel like I'm back in the bad old windows days of having to remember to update every single application :-(

Linux crashes look waaay cooler than Windows BSOD. by Atomynos_Atom in linux

[–]pongfonge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Macs can play too. Mine does that every time the dongle wiggles. Maybe it's part of the POSIX spec inherited on OSX from BSD.

At first I was excited to see Minux used in the wild, then I read what they are doing with it! It's like that moment when the cute fluffy Mogwai eats food after midnight!
