This is how I do it. I don't let it move my files.

One UI 8 New Features: A First Look at Samsung's Big Update | Tygo Cover in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] makingStuffForFun@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 month ago (2 children)

In a matter of a week or two I upgraded from UI 5 to 6 to 7.

The move from 5 to 6 more than halved my battery life instantly.

In one go my phone went from lasting about a day and a half roughly, to needing to be charged by just after lunch time. Absolute disgrace.

So then I upgraded again with all the promises I'd read that it has improved performance and battery life and it's dropped at least by another 15%.

My phone is lucky to make it to lunchtime now, thanks to these upgrades.

Exclusives are cancer to gamers, and lock people into ecosystems. All games should be available on all appropriate platforms, for greater consumer choice.

That would be nice. I hope so

Just started playing Graveyard Keeper and it's interesting but it seems really grindy. Hopefully it starts picking up a bit as I play. I'm also wondering if I should get any of the DLC now or wait a in c/games@lemmy.world

It's the literal definition of grind. I wanted to love it, but the grind was insane.

I'll do what I can. However, x11 will definitely die in the upcoming years. Development is apparently only maintenance now and basic improvements. The writing is on the wall, as Wayland just doesn't support what the accessibility tools require.

I have RSI, and I use talon voice to control my computer.

Because Wayland doesn't, and probably won't support accessibility software like talon voice, in time, as x11 is shut down, I'll have to move to Mac or Windows. I'm devastated.

Talon voice is what allows me to continue working.

I'm literally going to have to move back to the dark side in time, due to the end of X11, and Wayland's lack of support for accessibility.

Will this Lenovo Thinkpad (AMD) work well with linux, or should I go intel? (lemmy.ml)

Hi all,

We are purchasing a new laptop for a new employee.

We'll be booting directly into bios, changing settings as required, and installing linux immediately (either Fedora or POP).

However, we've only ever run intel machines.

Does anyone know if this could potentially cause any issues? We want a set and forget experience (have had that with intels).

System specs for the Ryzen version

Processor AMD Ryzen™ 7 7735U Processor (2.70 GHz up to 4.75 GHz) Operating System

Windows 11 Pro 64 (being removed immediately)

Graphic Card Integrated AMD Radeon™ 680M

Memory 16 GB DDR5-4800MT/s (SODIMM)(2 x 8 GB)

Storage 512 GB SSD M.2 2242 PCIe Gen4 TLC Opal

Display 14" WUXGA (1920 x 1200), IPS, Anti-Glare, Non-Touch, 45%NTSC, 300 nits, 60 Hz

Camera 1080p FHD IR Hybrid with Microphone and Privacy Shutter

Battery 3 Cell Li-Polymer 47 Wh

AC Adapter / Power Supply 65W

WIFI Wi-Fi 6E 2x2 AX & Bluetooth® 5.1 or above

I should add the intel version here for comparison, I feel it has a little more happening:

System specs:

Processor 13th Generation Intel® Core™ i7-1355U Processor (E-cores up to 3.70 GHz P-cores up to 5.00 GHz)

Operating System Windows 11 Pro 64

Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks so much! Torn on the intel VS the Ryzen

Samsung microSD not showing in Linux (lemmy.ml)
submitted 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) by makingStuffForFun@lemmy.ml to c/linux@lemmy.ml

Hi all,

I have an Intel NUC Skull Canyon. It's running POP_OS!

I purchase a microSD card, and it came with an SD Adaptor.

I've plugged it in, but nothing shows in files.

I have run lsusb, lspci, and even:

sudo lsblk -o MODEL,NAME,FSTYPE,LABEL,MOUNTPOINT,SIZE

However it's just not showing up anywhere.

The microSD is brand new, and a model called:

SAMSUNG 512 EVO Plus A2 V30.

I am not sure if the card is maybe so new, that linux can't see it yet? I doubt that.

I wonder if anyone has any ideas? I don't have another SD Adaptor, nor any other computer with an SD or microSD slot.

Thanks so muchy

How to set up laptop for corporate usage, so contents can be erased. (lemmy.ml)
 

Hi all, we are hiring a remote worker and will be supplying a laptop to them. The laptop will be running a Debian variant of Linux on it.

We are a small shop and this is the first time we have entrusted somebody outside of our small pool of trusted employees.

We have sensitive client data on the laptop that they need to access for their day-to-day work.

However, if something goes wrong, and they do the wrong thing, we want to be able to send out some kind of command or similar, that will completely lock, block, or wipe the sensitive data.

We don't want any form of spying or tracking. We are not interested in seeing how they use the computer, or any of the logs. We just want to be able to delete that data, or block access, if they don't return the laptop when they leave, or if they steal the laptop, or if they do the wrong thing.

What systems are in place in the world of Linux that could do this?

Any advice or suggestions are greatly appreciated? Thank you.

Automated installation of multiple applications after a fresh OS install? (Fedora) (lemmy.ml)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by makingStuffForFun@lemmy.ml to c/linux@lemmy.ml

Hi all,

I am about to do a bit of a distro hop, and I am looking at Fedora and its spins, after years on Debian / POP.

I am not looking forward to setting it all up again, it's a drag.

I wonder, is there a tool that lets me script installs?

I'll want to check if application exists, and if so, update, otherwise, install. That kind of thing.

Things like:

  • Telegram
  • Joplin
  • Docker
  • Firefox
  • Ungoogle Chromium
  • Sublime Text
  • VSCodium
  • Keepass
  • Thunderbird
  • DBeaver
  • Gimp
  • Inkscape
  • KDENLive
  • Syncthing
  • Steam
  • VLC
  • Localsend
  • Flameshot
  • Element
  • Cherrytree
  • Calibre
  • Anydesk

I show the list, only to give an idea of what might be involved.

I'm new to Fedora, so not sure how it differs beyond the package manager. But, thought I'd ask.

Does such a tool exist, and is it worth my time? I can practice on a VM before trying on the final install/s.

Thank you
