The Honeycomb yoke and throttles came in, and they're friggin' awesome. I'm hoping they take less effort (pain) than the other devices did. Very excited to put these to good use.

I don't use linux solely because of privacy. The biggest reason is because I want an OS that works. I need something that doesn't hinder my work. #linux #arch #archlinux

Windows 11's WSL 2 now officially has support from Arch #Linux

Welp, got another device to get working under Linux. The new rudder pedals came in: Honeycomb Aeronautical Charlie Rudder Pedal. I can see inputs coming in from the device, the `/dev/hidraw` permissions are perfect, but outside of that there is nothing.
Verified the registry settings in MSFS 24 but MSFS also doesn't see the pedals unfortunately. Very frustrating.

My week with Linux: I'm dumping Windows … to see how it goes | Tom's Hardware

Hilarious. #Linux Ubuntu had the 7.5.1 PowerShell (yes, it runs on Linux, don't ask me what I do with it 😄) available faster than UniGet on Windows. I'm glad they have a package manager on Windows and have a bit now, but gosh, they've got some catching up to do!
On different platforms, I see at least one post per day of someone willing to switch to #Linux. While seeing our community growing is nice, my first reaction is always: why didn't you take 3 seconds to read the post just before yours?
I may just become too old and grumpy but, generally speaking, I don't understand people who immediatly ask a question that has been answered thous…
I think the most annoying thing is that I don't quite have the chops to figure out why the new pedals don't work. However, I did send an email to Honeycomb Aeronautics so we'll see where that goes. Until then it's time to rack my brain for another avenue to get these pedals to work under Linux/Steam/Proton.

Weird how the Linux Mint subreddit has been taken over by people proudly displaying how cool their desktops look.
I know that after being boxed in by Windows it is nice to get more control but frankly I'd rather read posts by people who need help.

Say goodbye to the inkjet printer from HP, that customer-hostile scandal company, and say “Hello!” to the multifunction color laser printer from Brother!
Oh boy, by far the most expensive printer I've ever bought. But worth every penny.

I've just found out that the nano text editor can sort lines by pressing Ctrl-T (execute any command on marked lines) and then entering "| sort" (like in a shell pipe).

SWTOR stream is LIVE! Join me for some Star Wars action on Twitch, brought to you by Linux! #SWTOR
Curious about what the experience has been like for anyone buying a #Linux device from Star Labs. Was it worth it? I'm currently looking at their tablets since I've always wanted a decent Linux tablet, doubling as a light work station with a Bluetooth keyboard.
Oh my goodness! You can enable login and logout sounds in KDE Plasma! 🎶
The Oxygen sound theme has such a nice jingle, too. It reminds me of the good old days. I'm keeping that.
You can enable it in Settings − Apps & Windows − Notifications − Login − Play a sound (See screenshot)
You can set a custom sound file, but a file from your current sound theme should already be default if there is one.
6.14 mainline out on Arch. Compiled and running well. RC series seemed to do just fine with the AMD GPU suspend issues I was encountering before, no lockups upon resuming.
I use a separate USB4 NVMe drive enclosure with Ubuntu for work stuff (keep 'em separate), same result.
I never found the actual commit, so assuming it was done, or something else fixed it 😆

Everyone please don't scare away new people on #fedi . They don't have to use #archlinux to post here #nixos is also supported.
Just playing around with #Linux on the #GooglePixel phone till I feel sleepy.
Nice! I already spoke at previous #LinuxFoundation events, but it's the first time I get a badge!

Swapped the nVidia RTX 4070Ti with a nice, regular-sized AMD Radeon 9070 XT. Everything is running perfectly though I did have to reinstall Linux because I couldn't undo the futzing I did to clear up a few issues with Wayland with the 4070Ti. Not a huge deal, but still annoying. However, everything is fine and now just enjoying some gaming.

Nachdem hier ständig #Linux gehyped wird, dachte ich dass ich mal meinen alten #MacMini 2012 aus dem Schrank hole und aufpimpe. Naja, ganz so einfach war das dann doch nicht, Die ersten 3 Versuch u.A. mit Ubuntu Jammy Jellyfish und Kubuntu gingen ins Nirwana. Mint ist dann schließlich sauber durchgelaufen…

Hrmm, seems like my HOTAS setup doesn't work with MSFS 2024 under Linux which is very annoying. Not quite sure _why_ it's not working other than as far as MSFS is concerned it does not exist. `usbreset` shows it and I can see outputs from the device, but for this specific game it's a no-go at the moment. Very annoying.

Ah, current plans for today: find some way to get Microsoft Flight Sim 2024 running on my computer. So far I've managed to select my starting airport/airfield and then the game hangs. It's progress, but I have a feeling this fight is going to go on for awhile considering the game hangs immediately afterwards.

Not that I need to tell anyone on this instance but the Linux desktop is very solid experience. I self-host most of my apps that I use and luckily they all have a Linux client. Games work great too. Hell yeah Linux. #Linux

To all my fellow Arch users, I was once again reminded that putting anything in `/etc/environment` is a bad idea. Don't do it.
I put `GTK_USE_PORTAL=1` in there, because I always want native file dialogs, right? Well, turns out this breaks secret service integration (KDE Wallet/GNOME Keyring) in Fractal. So, back to setting it on a per-app basis.

I have a relatively new #ASUS ProArt13 laptop where I still have a #Microsoft #Windows installation so I can keep upgrading its firmware (I planned removing it once I have a stable #Linux distro with kernel >= 6.14).
I'm surprised by how unstable it is. Just leaving it doing nothing for more than 10 minutes is enough to trigger a #BlueScreenOfDeath (I can reproduce the issue). If I keep doing stuff, it does not crash.
At this point I'm not sure if it's Microsoft's fault or ASUS'... but I suspect the blame falls on Windows side (nothing like that happens on my Linux installation).

Gerne Boost :)
