What file systems are you using on your devices and why? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] PublicLewdness@lemmy.ml 7 points 3 months ago

I use BTRFS on my Artix system, Ext4 on my Librem 5, Ext4 on my Devuan laptop and Ext4 on my Pinebook Pro. Basically when given the choice in the installer I choose BTRFS but if the installer doesn't let me pick I don't care enough to manually partition. I have had no negative experiences with any file system luckily so I just roll with whatever.

Best way to use GOG on linux in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.ml
[–] PublicLewdness@lemmy.ml 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

One of the reasons I prefer GOG is that I don't want to use a client. I prefer to download offline installers and then run my games through Lutris or Heroic Games Launcher.

Error When trying to Update Pinephone in c/postmarketos@lemmy.ml
[–] PublicLewdness@lemmy.ml 1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

I tried the update command and the repos that the error occur on are

"http:////dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/3.19/main"

"http:////dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/3.19/community"

I don't get the error on my Pinebook Pro which si also on PostmarketOS 23.12 if that matters.

postmarketOS needs your help! in c/postmarketos@lemmy.ml

I love Open Collective and prefer it over any alternative. I will still try to support the individuals who use Liberapay but really like the transparancy of OC for supporting projects.

Is it time to reopen the subreddit? in c/postmarketos@lemmy.ml
[–] PublicLewdness@lemmy.ml 3 points 7 months ago

I for one ditched Reddit long ago and am never going back. Not for any project. If they want to have a sub reddit then fine but they better have FOSS options ike Lemmy as well.

Error When trying to Update Pinephone (lemmy.ml)
 

I tried to update my Pinephone CE using "sudo apk upgrade -a" and received the error

"Not continuing due to stale/unavailable repositories. Use --force-missing-repositories to continue"

I am on 23.12 with Phosh. I remember hearing that the Pinephone may be getting dropped from main to community so I wasn't sure if this was related to that or something different. Is it safe to use the command it suggests ? I figured I would ask before blindly doing it.

Adding systemd to postmarketOS in c/postmarketos@lemmy.ml
[–] PublicLewdness@lemmy.ml 2 points 7 months ago

The fact that PostmarketOS used anything other than SystemD was a selling point for me. That beign said it seems like it will be optional so at that point I see little reason to be angry.

I could say I know because i'm an elite haxxor but it would be a lie. I'm not even at script kiddie level.

Please don't use Discord for FOSS projects in c/opensource@lemmy.ml

I have never used Discord and never will. No project has ever been able to change my stance on it.

I used the automatic options for disk partitoning so i'm unsure.

Error When Booting GNUinos in c/linux@lemmy.ml

A libre version of Devuan. It uses the libre kernel by default and doesn't ship with any closed source programs or drivers in the repos.

Error When Booting GNUinos (lemmy.ml)
 

I just tried installing Gnuinos and after finishing on first bootup this is what I get. I have tried on both Runit and SysVinit so I don’t think it’s do do with init issues. Any ideas on what the issue is and how to fix ? This system works fine with Trisquel so I know it’s libre friendly.

Phone Recommendation for Canada (lemmy.ml)
 

I would love to use PostmarketOS as my daily driver but my Pinephone CE isn't really giving me the battery life I need to make it happen. I am looking at what phones I can get my hands on in Canada that would be better suited. So far the OnePlus 6T seems to be my best option. I can't get the Shift6mq or the Poco F1 shipped here. Any suggestions if battery life is my main need ? I take my phone off the charger at 11am and don't get home until close to midnight with no way to charge while at work.

Obviously things can change over time but does anybody know if there is currently any planned support for the RISC-V version of the PineTab 2 for PostmarketOS ? Would a RISC-V device even work with PostmarketOS ?

Are there any plans to add support for full disk encryption in an installer for the RockPro64 like the Pinephone and Pinetab have ?

Linux System Store in Africa; Russia; or Latin America ? (lemmy.ml)
 

I had a person ask me the other day if I knew of any stores that sell hardware with Linux preinstalled in Africa; Latin America or Russia and I couldn't think of any. I know plenty in Europe; U.S.A. and Canada but none for those places. Do any of you know of any ? They didn't mean stores that will ship there but stores that are based there.

VPN For PostmarketOS (lemmy.ml)
 

Are there any VPN's that work on PostmarketOS ? I would be using on the Pinephone CE; Pinebook Pro and Rock Pro 64. I usually use Proton VPN or Mullvad but i'm not overly picky.

Dasharo Update Question (docs.dasharo.com)
 

I recently received my MSI PRO Z690-A DDR4 motherboard from Dasharo. It came with version 1.0 which from what I understand has a different update process than later versions. Am I correct in understanding that I need to open a Terminal and type in "flashrom -p internal -w [path] --ifd -i bios" substituting the path bit there with the actual path to the file I downloaded ? Figured I would ask first before diving in.

Missing a Few Programs on Pinebook Pro (lemmy.ml)
 

I have recently got PostmarketOS setup on my Pinebook pro and am enjoying it. I am missing a few programs from my desktop though and was wondering if there is a way to get them on PostmarketOS. They are Plank and Psensor. If Plank is a no go is there a way to adjust Gnome Dash to always be visible ?

FOSS Alternative to PastPerfect (lemmy.ml)
 

Can anybody reccomend a FOSS replacement for the museum software PastPerfect ? Needs to be available for Windows 10. I was able to find CollectiveAccess and CollectionSpace but neither seem very easy to get setup. “CollectiveAccess” for instance needs to be built from source. This museum has novices at best when it comes to tech.
