Goodbye from a Linux community volunteer in c/linux@lemmy.world

That's not what happened. There are still Russian contributors. Just the onces that have in some way (maybe indirectly) ties with the Russian government have been removed.

Why not use Android in the first place then? I mean, it works fine on pretty much any device.

If you use swap (excluding hibernation) it means you need more ram.

The kernel used by Android is Linux, just like the kernel used by PiOS.

Anyone tried blendOS with microsoft surface? in c/linux@lemmy.world

Great! Used Arch for a while, with KDE. I'm now using Debian with Gnome permanently.

I'm not familiar with Blend OS, but if your goal is being able to run Android apps you can also install Waydroid yourself in multiple distro's. I'm running Debian with Gnome on my Surface Go 2 using the Surface kernel and Waydroid with Gapps. It runs really well.

Gnome multitouch gestures on touchscreen also trigger a left click (lemmy.world)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/13632527

I'm using Debian 12 with Gnome on my Surface Go 2, and while the multitouch gestures are great, when I use them I also click on anything where I start a 3 finger gesture. I like my panel hidden except in the Dash overview, but I disabled this so I don't have to use gestures. When I do use them I have to use them on an empty part of the screen to prevent clicking anything.

Is there any setting I can change to prevent left clicks when using 3 finger gestures?

So what's the known issue?

Can't you change to a normal user with become? We do lots of stuff with Ansible as normal user. You should be able to create tasks that get executed as normal user and install yay and run makepkg, and then run yay to install packages.

If you don't use a semicolon directly in MySQL it won't do anything until you add it.

I didn't say I couldn't fix the issues, but the fact that some of those issues exist even since XP is pretty bad. Just search around online and you'll find many posts about these driver issues. And then there's all of the ui inconsistencies and issues. Most of those are small, but still annoying once you see them. Especially when using Windows on a tablet, even Microsoft's own Surface line.

For HP ZBooks for example there was an issue that completely prevented you from installing some updates like Windows 10 20H2 without any warning as to why it wouldn't install. It just failed at 61%. It turned out to be audio drivers for the audio chip in the dock. The only way to get it updated was to connect the dock, finding the audio device in device management and removing it. Then disconnect before Windows reinstalls the driver again.

This has happened for multiple versions.

Dolphin freezes with QDBusError when copying a file (lemmy.world)

So I can copy folders just fine, but when I copy a file, Dolphin freezes. When launched from a terminal I get the following error:


kf.coreaddons: Some files could not be exported.
QDBusError("org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply", "Did not receive a reply.
Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.")

I have been searching around for any solution, but haven´t found any yet. Does anyone know what I should look for?

I'm running Arch Linux on my Surface Go 2 with the linux-surface kernel.
