Linux

Hello r/linux !

I just released the first version of Gosuki, a multi-browser real time bookmark manager I have been writing on and off for the past few years. It aggregates your bookmarks in real time across all browsers and even external APIs such as Reddit and Github.

• Github: https://github.com/blob42/gosuki
• Documentation: https://gosuki.net/

I was always annoyed by the existing bookmark management solutions and wanted a tool that just works without relying on browser extensions, self-hosted servers or cloud services. As a developer and Linux user I also find myself using multiple browsers simultaneously depending on the needs so I needed something that works with any browser and can handle multiple profiles per browser.

The few solutions that exist require manual management of bookmarks. Gosuki automatically catches any new bookmark in real time so no need to manually export and synchronize your bookmarks. It allows a tag based bookmarking experience even if the native browser does not support tags. You just hit ctrl+d and write your tags in the title.

Feature Highlights:

• A single binary with no dependencies or browser extensions necessary. It just work right out of the box.
• Use the universal ctrl+d shortcut to add bookmarks and call custom commands.
• Tag with #hashtags even if your browser does not support it. You can even add tags in the Title. If you are used to organize your bookmarks in folders, they become tags
• Real time tracking of bookmark changes
• Builtin, local Web UI which also works without Javascript (w3m friendly)
• suki cli command for a dmenu/rofi compatible output
• Modular and extensible: Run custom scripts and actions per tags and folders when particular bookmarks are detected
• Browser Agnostic: Detects which browsers you have installed and watch changes across all of them
• Also handles multiple profiles per browser
• Stores bookmarks in a portable sqlite database compatible with the Buku. You can use any program that was made for buku.
• Can fetch your bookmarks from external APIs (Reddit and Github for now).
• Easily extensible to handle any browser or API

It's open source with an AGPLv3 license, Checkout the README and website docs for more details.

Also why does everyone seem to hate on Ubuntu?

I've currently been messing around trying to make the Switch 2 Pro Controller work on Linux using the raw HID commands from this website, to potentially build into a driver as a bit of a project to get better at C. However, seemingly nothing I use can send any commands properly, or at least in a way that makes the controller work. I've tried both echo, sending bytes to the /dev/hidraw6 device (that device at least on my system, may vary on others), as well as hidapitester (a wrapper for hidapi). I know the device works, as a WebUSB tool that uses the same commands makes the controller work on this system. Is anyone more familiar with this, and can point me in the right direction? I'm on Fedora Linux 42 if that info helps.

I'm in the process of getting a new printer and since I recently (December 2024) switched to Linux it would be nice if it would be Linux compatible. So far I've decided on the Canon PIXMA G550 printer but I can't find anything about it's compatibility so I figured I would just ask here in the hopes someone might have the same printer or knows someone who has the same printer and can tell me if this printer works with Linux. If all else fails I could still use the printer with my tablet or phone using Canons app but using it with my desktop would be much more comfortable.

Hi all, I have tried everything, and now I am coming here for help. Hopefully someone can tell me what's happening here. So, I have this older pc that I have converted into a steam console, first with Bazzite and now with Chimera OS. Both work very nicely, but the one issue that persisted on both distros is that when I put the pc to sleep from game mode (press xbox button>power>sleep) then wake it up, the screen is not receiving a signal, it not even a black screen, just no signal. I would have to force reboot it to be able to get in. Nothing works. I can't even get into a tty screen or do anything. It is connected to a samsung tv 65mu8000 via HDMI cable. I have UHD color input enabled for that input, just to give more details.

I have tried disabling the wake up animation like some folks suggested and that didn't do anything. I have tried disabling the display core like some other searches suggested by putting amdgpu.dc=0 in modprob.d in its own file. I have tried blocking the intel iGPU, even though this CPU doesn't have one. Nothing works. It has an intel core i7 5930k and an AMD RX 6600. I would appreciate any help or suggestions Thank you

Trying out Guix for the first time! Waiting for packages to download.

I'm a long time Arch user. Any tips?!

I've heard there aren't as many packages for Guix as other distros, but I was thinking Flatpak and distrobox will help bridge the gap for me.

I bought a Lenovo laptop, one from the the bargain bin, 11th gen Intel and 8gb soldered RAM

Even if I reinstalled Windows to make sure all the bloatware was removed, it was almost unusable. At boot I was left with only 800mb free memory, and "Lenovo vantage" kept reappearing automatically like malware. (It's a useless electron app that wastes half a gig of ram to show you on screen when you press caps lock, check driver updates and try to upsell you on extended warranty)

At idle the machine was as loud as a jet, with crystal disk mark always complaining "the nvme drive is over 65°C!!" (I'm guessing from the constant swapping)

Battery life was a disaster, 2 hours at idle with no foreground apps open

I thought that it was the CPU too slow for my use and the RAM not enough, so I was planning to spend some hundreds of euro to buy a new laptop with at least 16gb of RAM.

Then I installed cachyos and because I'm masochist I chose hyprland at the "easy" install screen that asks you which of the 19 available DE you prefer.

After a week of suffering trying to understand all the text configuration files for everything (it was a shock, everything needs the terminal) I'm now getting used to it and... It's like I got a brand new laptop??!?

Memory: clean boot now obviously is reversed situation. I don't have only 800mb of free RAM, the whole system uses only 800mb

Temperatures: by default cachyos is set to show the CPU temperature on waybar, and it's always around 40-45° C. The fan is way quieter. At idle they can even stop, before they were like a hair dryer even after a clean boot

Battery life: astounding. I can't believe that I can use it for a whole afternoon. Accidentally fell asleep and when I came back after two hours it lost only 10% (on idle, screen turn off automatically)

Gaming performance: tried only with casual games but with something like tinytopia I get 60fps on ultra when on windows it was choppy on high

My R75 works fine under via.

I'm using the R75 vial firmware located here.

https://github.com/mossbed/r75

It won't compile, as cloned. It's more than just the directory structure which is completely silly. It's not surprising it didn't work, given it's messy state. I had to modify it a bit, so it could easily be something I did.

I had to add a UID:

config.h -> #define VIAL_KEYBOARD_UID { }

and uncomment tap_dance_action in keymap.c.

tap_dance_action_t tap_dance_actions[] = { [TD_RESET] = ACTION_TAP_DANCE_FN(safe_reset), [TD_CLEAR] = ACTION_TAP_DANCE_FN(safe_clear), [TD_CTL_TG] = ACTION_TAP_DANCE_LAYER_TOGGLE(KC_RCTL, _CTL_LYR) };

That's about it.

It compiles and downloads cleanly. Via continues to work but Vial does not discover it.

This mosbed firmware extension claims to be a derivative of this work but it doesn't seem to be.

https://github.com/irfanjmdn/r65/tree/vialrgb?tab=readme-ov-file#guide

Anyone have Vial working? It's a popular keyboard so I expect someone has solved this problem. If no one responds, I'll take it on in a week or so so we can all enjoy ou R75 on linux with Vial.

Quote from NomadicCore on Reddit:

One of the questions we get regularly asked is about KDE Plasma being a DE option for AerynOS. We have always maintained that it was in the plans, but that packaging up KDE Plasma is a lot of work and would take a while.

This packaging work has been consistently been happening in the background and today, Reilly booted up the first KDE Plasma session running atop AerynOS.

To set expectation, it's a first boot, it's very basic and there are still many things to get packaged up and properly configured.

This is a great milestone achieved and shows the great progress that the team is making on top of all the other workstreams that are going on.

Question is in the title: What is the supposed workflow for vanilla Gnome for keyboard users?

Is there any video/design documents which explain, how the workflow is supposed to be?

Assume, I have a full screen web browser on workspace 1. Now I want to have a terminal... I hit the super-key, type terminal, hit enter ... and then I have a terminal which does not start maximized on workspace 1, so I can either maximize the terminal and switch between the applications, arrange them side by side... or I can navigate to workspace 2, start the terminal there (the terminal will not start maximized again on an empty workspace 2) ... and switch between the two workspaces (AFAIK there are no hotkeys specified by default to navigate directly to a workspace)...

What I simply do not understand: Does the vanilla Gnome workflow expect you to use mouse and keyboard? Like hit super, use mouse to go to next workspace, type terminal, click to maximize terminal (or use super-up)?

It just seems like a lot of work/clicks/keys to achieve something simple. And to my understanding Gnome expects you to use basically every application with a full screen window anyway, so why does it not open a new application on the next free workspace full screen by default?

PikaOS maybe too "hobby oriented" to expect "sleep stability", but I understand most/all bugs to be debian or kde upstream ones. Is gnome still much better at stability? Is there a distribution that fixed sleep problems for you? open vs closed nvidia drivers?

Are there motherboard manufacturers that suck less at linux?
