Ocis/OpenCloud can integrate with Collabora, OnlyOffice but don’t currently have things like CalDAV, CardDAV, E2EE, Forms, Kanban boards, or other extensible features installable as plugins in Nextcloud.
If you desire a snappy and responsive cloud storage experience and don’t particularly need those things integrated into your cloud storage service, then Ocis or OpenCloud might be something to look into.
This is the same for Intel variant Framework boards.
Authentik has blueprints, which while not as simple as Authelia’s config, do provide a functional way to have version-controlled configuration.
Ah yes, did mess up looking at the specs table for bitrate modes. Correcting root comment for anyone else who views this thread.
You will need either an Intel discrete GPU or NVidia GPU if you want to use HDMI 2.1 to render at 8k@60. The Intel discrete GPUs have physical hardware that convert to HDMI and Nvidia uses proprietary drivers. If you can use displayport, any GPU (AMD, Intel, Nvidia) supporting displayport 1.4 is suitable for up to 8k@31 (limited to 8bpc). A displayport 2.0-capable card with a cable suitable for UHBR 13.5 should be able to handle 60 hz (8bpc) or a UHBR 20-rated cable capable of 60 hz at 10bpc.
It depends a bit on perspective and use-case, really. A flatpak’d application can be a fully-featured (all dependencies bundled) package in order to be portable. However, most flatpaks you might commonly encounter don’t quite do this. A good portion of the libraries may be distributed in common runtime packages. This will be the case if you use flatpaks from Flathub or Fedora. There still can be bundled libraries with vulnerabilities, but in many cases, there are basic dependencies from external, common library sets.
As far as varying dependency versions, a developer may be on a host with either newer or older dependencies than expected by the user, but as long as the developer’s application (and any unique libraries) are compiled against a common runtime as previously mentioned, it does make distribution to a wide variety of distros (LTS, 6-month, and rolling alike) relatively easy.
In comparison to OCI images (the kind of images that make up Docker, Podman, and a good portion of Kubernetes container images), flatpaks are a bit less extreme. Flatpaks contain much the same kind of files and structure that a standard distro package would, but simply get sandboxed into their own environment (via bubblewrap). Additionally, flatpaks don’t necessarily need system-level access for installation and usage (full userland confinement). It heavily depends on host environment and configuration, but typically OCI containers are a full, minimal, immutable filesystem structure run in a virtual environment. Not quite a virtual machine, as (in Linux anyway) they are run on the host (almost always in a sandbox) without extensive virtualization capabilities being needed. The general difference in security capabilities depends on the differences in sandboxing between a flatpak behind bubblewrap and an OCI container’s runtime sandboxing. There is also the notion with OCI containers being able to run as virtualized users, including root. With OCI containers that can obtain root access and a flaw in the sandboxing of say Docker in its standard rootful mode could allow for root level processes in the sandbox to act upon the host.
From what I can think of in comparison, there is the big problem with Flatpak in that it really isn’t suitable for packaging command-line applications: only GUI applications and libraries. OCI container images are often tailored for running web apps and other persistent CLI applications
KDE has had ICC support implemented for a while now in Wayland. The necessary protocol for ICC support/color management in Wayland recently got merged, so the next release of many popular compositors (plasma 6.3 for KDE) will be protocol-compliant.
Without getting into more outright malicious possibilities as I don’t use Windows and cannot inspect how the application behaves on the platform, you could have things as simple like:
It’s funny how EA is attributing their statistic to something can be strongly disproven. When looking at the given statistic they provided, they don’t specify the raw count of cheaters banned, but simply the rate. Even giving the generous assumption that EA’s statistics aren’t significantly flawed, they show an alleged large drop in cheaters bottoming out in the week of Nov. 4, 2024, before starting to rise up again. Does something else coincide with the rate of cheaters dropping in the week of Nov. 4? There is in fact something that does. Season 23 was released the fifth with a large spike of players being brought into the game. Without a more comprehensive statistic graph over several months, it looks like EA is trying to just capitalize on the fact that a large influx of players joining the game will drop the rates of cheaters momentarily, and then passing it off as evidence that Linux cheating was rampant. Quite disingenuous.
A majority of the Linux-native titles I have played work well. It’s only a handful of titles that have blatant neglect or malice from the developers, publishers that don’t work fully. Dying Light looks to fall under neglect as it doesn’t seem to have been updated (except for the inclusion of DLCs) beyond the 2015 build of the game, and seems to be stuck in a console-ready graphics preset.
I started playing Dying Light for the first time recently. Compared to the Windows version, it looks like Techland completely abandoned the Linux native version of the game. Is this update fixing the Linux native version to be on par with Windows?
You’re not referring to this satire article by chance?
I can only guess the previous BIOS wasn’t enabling every virtualization extension necessary for some applications for some reason then, given that GNOME Boxes did work. Glad you’ve found a solution.
I did accidentally type the relevant command incorrectly, forgetting that sudo swaps the user before subcommands like whoami will resolve. So that command attempted to add the kvm group to ‘root’ rather to your user. I have fixed the command in the relevant comment for anyone else reading this thread. You can try sudo adduser "<username>" kvm, manually substituting <username> for your username. As normal, restart after adding the group to your user. Additionally, I have added a warning to the solution in the original comment of why you may not want to keep this solution enabled forever as well as a way to disable it later if desired.
Based on using a local installation without elevated permissions (outside of /usr/(local)), I can only guess of two things happening:
The first is GNOME Boxes asks for elevated permissions when running or otherwise uses Polkit to gain those permissions. Your user by default likely isn’t granted access to /dev/kvm and running userland software without additional permissions will inherently not allow KVM access.
To allow this sanely, you can add your user to the KVM group to allow userland KVM access. It can be done via sudo adduser "<username>" kvm and then restarting your computer. To note, this is something that can allow any application to access virtualization without special permissions. If you don’t want this change to remain forever, the command sudo usermod -r -G kvm "<username>" followed by a restart can revert this change.
Alternatively, installing Android Studio via the Flathub Flatpak may handle permissions without needing to modify user groups in this case.
The second (unlikely, but possible) problem is the AppArmor profile blocking KVM access for userland. I don’t have particularly any experience with creating modified profiles for AppArmor, if this is the cause. I could only offer terrible advice for AppArmor (disabling AppArmor or switching to warn-only, both things I do not recommend doing). Again, it might be worth trying to install Android Studio via flatpak to see if things work better if this is the cause.
I am testing this currently to ensure correctness, but if you’re using Android Studio via Flatpak, you may need to enable kvm permissions for the application to have hardware-accelerated VMs. This can be done using Flatseal. The relevant permission (device=kvm) is under the Device section labeled as Virtualization.
Additionally, if problems are occurring outside of Flatpak, you might need to enable certain hardware virtualization technologies from your computer’s BIOS (AMD-V, VT-x, VT-d, Intel VT, Virtualization, or some other similar term depending on CPU and motherboard).
EDIT: Doing testing, it seems the default permissions provided for Android Studio’s Flathub Flatpak includes device=all. No permissions edits are necessary by default. If there are problems with the /dev/kvm device not being reachable, it is almost certainly due to the necessary extensions not being enabled in the BIOS, or your CPU doesn’t support virtualization. Pop! OS 22.04 has the necessary components in software for KVM to function pre-installed, so nothing should be wrong on the OS side.
Superior over what exactly? Most workstation/desktop distros have a graphical software manager and handle drivers in a similar manner.
On my mobile Lemmy client (Eternity), I already keep a multicommunity group for finding tech support posts in case I have something to offer in response. As it stands with [email protected], there aren’t too many posts that are pure conjecture or information and thus doesn’t really clog my feed. If this community grows to have more of these kinds of posts showing up, it may be worth having a split. As it stands currently though, I feel it would mostly serve to significantly lessen what gets posted to this community.
What board/connector is affected? At worst, a replacement connector and a soldering iron should be able to replace the damaged connector and get your printer in a functional state.
UPDATE: if you are referring to certain mainboard connectors, it may be best to replace the mainboard if you don’t have the tools for replacement. I see surface-mount connectors for some things on the mainboard that can be difficult to replace correctly without more unique tools.
The game was under exclusivity contract for Epic Games, but they were still allowed to sell copies of the game on their own website. Now that the contract is up, the game can be sold on Steam. Granting players who bought the game from the website free Steam keys is a nice touch.
