    What forced obsolescence are you talking about? The mini 2 is an 11 year old device that received feature updates for 6 years and security updates for 10 years. Seems fair to me and is probably more than most Android tablets would give you.

    Wenn Schach heute erfunden worden wäre, gäbs nur die Hälfte an Spielfiguren, den Rest gibts dann mit und mit als DLC.

    I tried Bazzite a few months ago and replaced it with a non-immutable distro in the same day because I couldn't get my password manager (1Password) to work with Firefox.

    The installation of 1Password was kind of a hassle as there is no official way to install it systemwide on an immutable distro, so I followed an unofficial tutorial. That worked somehow, but then came the integration into Firefox. For this to work, you have to install firefox as a native package, too, so you have to layer it through ostree.

    But here comes the issue: The original Silverblue does already include native Firefox, and Bazzite removed it and replaced it with a flatpak. I have googled a lot and haven't found an answer yet on how to layer a package that was removed in a previous layer. I'm not sure if it's even possible, but the complete lack of documentation for such a trivial thing really turned me away from immutable distros. When I had an issue on Arch, I would find the answer in the ArchWiki 95% of the time, but here I couldn't even find a proper documentation for how the layering works.

    This on top of other issues like not being able to get Autocomplete/Intellisense working in VSCode because I can't properly install the required compilers and libraries made me turn back to Arch in a single day. Maybe it's just my mindset that's a bit stuck on how to do things the "old" way, but if I have to spent hours to get even a basic workflow going for me, then I guess I'm not yet ready for immutable distros.

  • What's your progress in 1.0 so far?

    I got basic steel and coal power up and running. Started in the Northern Forest this time, but I got annoyed pretty fast with the lack of flat space to build. So I moved my HUB to the Grass fields because I haven't build there in a long time and it's actually really beautiful. Currently building my base around the HUB and will move to advanced steel soon.

    Oh, and I also rushed the collection of mercer spheres because the Dimensional Depot is absolutely amazing!

  • This Windows 11 Start menu change is now coming to Windows 10

    I'm running Windows 10 LTSC with a custom start menu (StartIsBack). So far I have avoided all of Microsoft’s nonsense.

    As long as I’m not ready to switch to Linux 100%, this is probably the best possible solution.

  • Your TV set has become a digital billboard. And it’s only getting worse.

    Apple TV is a bit pricey, but at least it’s ad-free. Connect it to a modern TV without internet access, stream your Jellyfin (or Plex) media via Infuse and you are good to go.

  • Hi everyone, ever since I switched to Arch about two months ago, most applications segfault multiple times a day. There doesn't seem to be any pattern for the crashes, sometimes it's even happening while idling (e.g. reading a news article). Things I've tried without any luck so far: - Running Firefox in safe-mode without any extensions - Switching from regular to LTS kernel - Disable Hardware Acceleration in Firefox - Change RAM speed and timings - Run Memtest successfully - Replace entire RAM with a new certified kit - Use only a single RAM slot - Apply Ryzen fixes (iommu=soft, limit c-states) - Use only a single CPU core (maxcpus=1) - Downgrade Nvidia driver to 535xx - Use Nouveau instead of the nvidia driver - Use Openbox instead of KDE - Disable zswap and THP Here's full journalctl from a day where both Spotify and Firefox crashed at the end, a few seconds after each other: https://pastebin.com/BH0LMnD9 Some more info about my system: - Ryzen 5 3600X - MSI B450M PRO-VDH Max - 32GB RAM @ 3200MHz - Geforce RTX 2070 SUPER (using nvidia-dkms) - Plasma 5.27.10 on X11 I'm pretty sure that it's **not** hardware related, because I've booted up a Debian 12 live image where everything ran for several hours without a crash. But it seems to be Arch related, as I also booted up a fresh EndeavourOS live image (so basically Arch), where applications also randomly segfaulted. Any idea why everything works fine on Debian but not on Arch? Debian uses the 6.1 kernel, which I already tried, so that's not it. Let me know if you need any more information that might help solve this issue. Thanks! **Edit [solved]:** It looks like disabling PBO in the UEFI/BIOS did the trick. The strange thing is, after enabling it again, it's still not crashing again. Someone suspected that the MoBo default/training settings were faulty, so I guess this was a very rare case here. That's probably why it took so long to find a solution. Thanks everyone for helping me out!
