It's complete crap, on the level of not being able to run the stopwatch in the background and having it restart if you get a notification.

Also, it's 65EUR if you want to order it in Europe

Idk what's up with your fingerprint rant, but the drivers for that have been out for years. Not official ofc, but it works better than in windows.

The issue is that it's essentially useless because Linux has no support for any type of fingerprint reader, so you can maybe set up your DM to log you in.

Xkill doesn't kill the process, it just stops showing it to you

Having everything in a single file is not really a problem.

Having extremely outdated info on topics like below is a major issue though.

One cannot have bookmarks, or refer to page numbers.

Huh?

73 and 76, but I got them mixed up, ed is older.

That's for original Emacs though, the gnu version came out in 85

Emacs is older than ed

Sure, and not every arch user ends their comments with btw.

But that was consistent across multiple years, devices, and derivatives. It's usually a 5 min fix/workaround, but it's still annoying.

Nobody's raving about the install, that's just useful for people who don't know what makes a Linux distro.

It becomes your personality after a few years because every update might break anything, and you need to regularly maintain random shit. Also if you forget to update regularly, the chance of everything crapping out rises exponentially.

I hope you're using something like btrfs, because rollbacks are a must.

Does your company have a serious IT department that manage devices?

If yes, then you'll need to do whatever they say, and be ready to be told that's not happening.

If not, I'd suggest a stable distro, encrypt the disk, and use flatpak/nix to install fresh packages. Fedora could work, but I've had bad luck with it, and wouldn't want to risk my device crapping out because of an update.

The rest is really going to depend on your work and your it department.

MX Linux, Xfce 4.18

Closing the laptop lid suspends the system, opening it resumes it, but the screen is black. I'm guessing it's related to powerup because suspending through the logout menu and systemctl suspend both work as expected. When it's black, switching to a different tty works, as well as C-M-Backspace to logout.

Same results with both lightdm and sddm, when replacing suspend with hibernate, and I've tried a few solutions like disabling lock on sleep.

Seems like this issue has been around for years, but had a whole bunch of different causes since every other thread has a different solution.

XFSETTINGSD_DEBUG=1 xfsettingsd --replace --no-daemon > /tmp/xf.log 2>&1

ps -ef | grep -E 'screen|lock'

xfconf-query -c xfce4-power-manager -lv

dmesg, cleared it before trying to suspend

updates:

I'm not seeing a black screen, instead it turns on the display and then turns it off.

Additionally, I tried closing and opening the lid a few times, and it woke up correctly.

I tried it in i3wm with the xfce power manager to suspend after closing the lid. It woke up correctly 10 times in a row.

Solution: start an xrandr config and the monitor turns back on.

This community is:

A general purpose programming community for English speakers

Language specific posts like:

and ide specific posts like:

are not general purpose. Posts like that ruined /r/programming for me, and this community seems to be going down the same road. I'm here to read about programming concepts that can be applied to any/most languages, not patch notes for 10 different Js frameworks posted by karma farming bots. If I wanted to read posts like that, I'd have subbed to /c/javascript...

Do you agree with me that they should be removed from /c/programming, and limited only to their respective communities? Or have I missed the point of this community?
