  • Thanks for your detailed reply.

    1. The solution for setting the clock seem to work! Awesome.

    2. I don’t have kWallet enabled but saving the password as unencrypted in the network settings.

    3. Hmm, I just installed akmod-nvidia.x86_64 with dnf. Tried to run nvidia-settings in terminal. I get this error:

    ERROR: NVIDIA driver is not loaded
    
    (nvidia-settings:14910): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 14:10:49.551: g_object_unref: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
    
    ** (nvidia-settings:14910): CRITICAL **: 14:10:49.552: ctk_powermode_new: assertion '(ctrl_target != NULL) && (ctrl_target->h != NULL)' failed
    
        1. I guess I need to hop distro again! :( But it will probably be faster than fixing











  • At ryge mens børnene sidder i bilen er selvfølgelig en dårlig ide. Jeg tror bare man skal passe på med at staten skal bestemme sådan noget. Men nu er jeg også af den generelle holdning at lovgivning der rulles igennem med “folkesundheds”-argumentet ikke står over argumentet om personlig frihed. Folk skal have lov til at ryge. Hvis argumentet er at forbedre folkesundheden burde vi også se på at forbyde alkohol - f.eks. starte med cult shakers osv. hvor både smag og markedsføring helt klart er tiltænkt et yngre publikum. Samme trick laver de med Små Fugle som liiiige præcis har en alkoholprocent der gør det lovligt at købe for personer på 16 år. Ligesom “det smager som slik”-argumentet der blev brugt til at forbyde salg af e-juice med anden smag end tobak/mentol. Men nix! Vi SKAL jo være PISSE FULDE i DK. Det er fint med aldersgrænser, men jeg er meget imod total forbud.

  • I have the same experience as the author you just replied to. While some of what you are saying is true, I have never had everyday issues like these on windows. I switch to Linux once a year to change things up. Mint, arch, Debian… A few major issues I experience

    • login screen just freezes after standby
    • wifi not automatically recognizing what settings e.g. security protocol my work wifi uses
    • external monitors not working
    • updates just breaking my whole OS or not working

    These are essentials, not something I can simply learn to live with or fix on the fly.

    Would love to switch! I can get through work without proprietary software so that’s not the issue.


  • Use industry software standards. Adobe, Autodesk etc etc. I know, these solutions sucks, but it is the world people live it. Most Lemmy people are into tech for the sake of tech. You are technological literate to the highest degree. Understand and critique developments in tech. Very important work! However, a graphical designer probably isn’t that literate and wouldn’t be able to do work in a Foss environment. Yes, 1 in a 1000 might use Gimp but good luck colabbing with other people in the industry.



  • I wonder what arguments people have to justify a downvote. Polarized either/or views. Capitalism is a great idea if regulated. Look to history and find good examples of societies that aren’t based on capitalism. They don’t exist.

    I agree and value the Marxist analysis of capitalism. I’m a socialist. However, I don’t think that a Marxist economy would work. Social responsible capitalism works. Capitalism run amok doesn’t. Unfortunately, it is getting out of control, especially in the USA.
