Yeah that checks out.
I'm fairly new to this space so not aware of the more obscure or older ones but my list of popular Desktop Environments would be:
- KDE Plasma
- GNOME
- Cinnamon
- MATE
- Budgie
- XFCE
- LXQt
- Cosmic
I have been planning on migrating to Proton (I know, wrong community) and this could very well be the year. Just 2 gmail and 1 hotmail address/inbox to migrate but would love to follow the tips given here.
I have some questions to specify your case:
- Did you use tags a lot? Did you use them purely as a hierarchy (i.e. could it be mapped to folders) or do you have a lot of crossover between tags?
- Do you have a custom domain or is the original email on the gmail.com domain and the new one a different address?
Does Cold Waters work well on the Deck?
I've been hoping that the new Sea Power: Naval Combat in the Missile Age will work well on the Deck in a year or so, and was planning to stick to Dangerous Waters until then.
My P-3 (maritime patrol aircraft) bindings are shared on the community bindings already!
DW runs incredibly efficiently. The graphics look like 1999 anyways, so I just dial the TDP all the way down to 3 W and set FPS to 20. Perfect game when the battery is low!. I haven't modded it at all, I actually like the retro vibe (and the incredible sonar simulation).

I am so happy for you. Loving yourself and being kind to yourself is so vital and can be very difficult. It still is for me.
I recognize a lot of what you guys here have, but to a lesser degree: apparently my "life difficulty" setting is not set that high. I seem to be extremely lucky to not have eating or sleeping problems at all, which keeps the rest manageable.
I deeply respect all you troopers, wherever you may be, for living life on the hard and extreme difficulty levels.
Hope you find the therapy and/or medication that helps. In the meantime, the dishwasher and the occasional strong coffee (not regularly as that won't work) should help.
Keep on keepin on!
I am so sorry for your loss.
The pixels on allthe Lemmings' screens are taking a moment of silence to commemorate Mitten (they are rendering the void).
Thanks for the pointers!
/etc/dracut.conf and /etc/dracut/conf.d are empty, except for comments. According to my search skills, that is correct, as dracut defaults are fine.
systemd-boot entries files were missing for the missing kernels. bootctl update and bootctl install showed error codes, probably bescause systemd-boot was set up by a partition/OS that I no longer have. /usr/lib/systemd/boot was empty, but /boot/efi/EFI/systemd contained the systemdx64 efi file.
I ended up manually creating a new boot entry for the new 6.11.8 kernel, based on the one I booted off of, and due to failures in bootctl install and bootctl update copied over the /boot/efi/EFI/systemd/systemd-bootx64.efi file to the /usr/lib/systemd/boot/efi dir, then re-triggering bootctl install. I have no idea if this fixes the issue, but the Linux Specialist ChatGPT took me this way based off of your suggestion and my OP.
I will be back here if the issue persists. Hopefully this systemd-boot failing fixes it.

Not seeing new Linux kernels (Fedora) in systemd-boot
Problem: new kernels not showing up in boot menu
I can install new kernels, and I see them in /boot/efi/{PARITION_UUID}, but they don't show up in the systemd-boot menu.
Data
Normally, Fedora shows the 3 latest kernels (plus a recovery kernel) in the boot menu.
I only see up to 6.11.6 in the systemd-boot menu. On the /boot partition, I see much newer kernel versions (both labeled fc40 and fc41)

Systemd-boot
I started with other distros on this disk before I settled on Fedora. Since I was happy with systemd-boot and its automatic discovery of boot entries, I chose to use systemd-boot when I installed Fedora. I know that Grub is the default bootloader and manager for Fedora, but I have systemd-boot. It's an option in the installer.
Major OS upgrades and rolling back the rollback
Last weekend I upgraded from Fedora 40 KDE Spin to Fedora 41. On the next Monday morning, screensharing in Edge Browser had stopped working, so I rolled back to a Fedora 40 snapshot with BTRFS Assistant. This turned out to be an issue in the latest Edge version, not in the underlying OS, so I rolled back the rollback and went to the Monday evening snapshot, then upgraded my packages.
Ever since, I'm not seeing new Kernels in the systemd-boot menu. Any idea how I can fix this, short of a fresh install of Fedora 41 KDE?
I think this image on the Felidae wiki sums it up pretty well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felidae#Phylogeny
Note that everything in this graph is extinct, except the 2 circled subfamilies at the bottom.
EDIT: I basically know nothing about biology and paleontology and am just an amateur wiki-binger, but it seems that the half-whale was further away philogenetically from any live mammals.
I'm guessing that the fact that this is not just some bones but a very well-preserved mummy is what makes this find special.
At its core, my problem is that I tend to get angry and frustrated with myself, instead of being kind to myself. Self-kindness is easier said than done.
Pomodoro is just a structure that helps me to be kind to myself. Feel free to adapt it to your own needs, as long as it helps you to be kind to yourself and "reset" from distractions.
Thanks, TIL
How is SteamOS on the Deck dealing with this? I thought they also used gamescope
Use gamescope to run the game under Wayland. Gamescope creates an XWayland window (for which you can specify things like resolution, upscaling, and refresh rate) to run the game in, so the game can pretend it's under X11, and gamescope interacts with Wayland.
The Pomodoro method works for me. Set a timer for 25 minutes. Decide the task (or task list) you're going to do. Make it as specific as possible, for example "write 10 ideas of things to do at work next year and rate them by how desirable and achievable they are". Then start the timer and do the task. When the timer goes off, you have to take a 5 minute break. Whether you've been productove or distracted, doesn't matter. You HAVE to take a break. Drink something, go to the toilet, reply to a message whatever. Timer goes off after 5 minutes of break time. You've got a fresh start to try again.
For me, the first pomodoro is often wasted, sometimes even the first 2, but the forced break (I only have 25 minutes to a "deadline") and mental reset afterwards help to create that setting to be productive.
These are people whose entire worldview is, unironically, oppression without rebellion.
The kicking only goes one way - down.
I know nuts are full of fat, but I do find that raw nuts make me feel full so quickly that it's hard to ingest as many calories.
Btw did you track your overall intake with an app for a week? Is your excess intake mostly carbs or fat?
If you eat raw nuts, from a mixed bag, without added salt, does that make you feel full?
That or 100% peanut butter usually makes me feel full really quickly
I haven't yet had to put in effort to maintain a healthy weight, so this may not work for weight loss.
But if I want to feel full, I typically eat a big burger (Beyond or Vegetarian Butcher are my favorite brands), or I wok rice with mixed vegetables and kimchi and crispy pressed and baked tofu pieces.
Really, just eat whatever you would eat before going vegan, but vegan versions. Weight loss diets are tough enough without going completely whole foods
Sir, this is !vegan@lemmy.world
Oat or soy yoghurt is really filling too though, good suggestions!
UK protest rule

(Tiny) breaking change changes monitor output hex ID
I noticed this immediately because I use kanshi (highly recommended for laptops running sway!). I don't know the how or why (maybe it's the wlroots bump), but when I upgraded Sway to 1.9 today, the Hex ID form one of my external monitors changed. So I had to update it in the config for kanshi to work again.
Just a heads up for other kanshi users, and people whose scripts may be influenced by this.

"I don't have ADHD, I'm just really annoying"
So I recently started to recognize a lot of the behaviors associated with ADHD. I was and still am in doubt whether I have ADHD or not, but some specific events caused me to ask my doctor to refer me for a diagnosis. I was actually doing quite OK-ish this year, after having struggled with self-worth, short depressive episodes and mild trauma in the recent past. But I noticed that I started to have trouble focusing again as the newness wore off after my career change. And I got called out by my friends for "acting ADHD". Which did not sound unusual at all.
So I got the referral, went through the intake with shrink 1, did an adult ADHD diagnosis with shrink 2. The diagnosis involved me and my mom answering questions about the presence of ADHD symptoms now and in my early childhood (5-12 yo). Basically, now I do have almost all of the characteristics, though they often are erratic (no problems studying, huge difficulties with household tasks, work productivity varies orders of magnitude day to day) and often not noticed by others (my average productivity in a month is great, though many days I feel shit due to not being able to do what I am supposed to).
In childhood, no symptoms were found. Zero. Partly because everyone in my family is forgetful and mom picks up stuff after everyone all the time, I was constantly reminded/pushed/supported and did not really have the opportunity to forget things (though I still did) and partly because like now, many of these things happen in my head and are not noticeable in the averages that others see. Except when I'm talking too much and interrupting people but I guess thats acceptable when children do it.
Maybe I don't have ADHD. Maybe it's something else. Maybe the shrink misunderstood me.
But I feel shit right now. The title is what I had pre-planned to say to people about the outcome and if they say again "don't act so ADHD". I can say it with a laugh and everyone thinks I'm funny and quirky.
But the truth is, I feel misunderstood. I feel like a failure for having fallen into an ADHD phenotype even though I am hugely privileged and have none of the baggage so many people here do. No childhood trauma, no school/grades problems, no poverty.
I can't help but feel that my behavior is my fault, as is wasting health professionals time, who could have helped someone who actually needed it. Shrink 1 is on "long-term sick leave" now. She got stressed by me clicking things constantly during the (remote) interviews. Another thing to feel guilty about.
Best case now is that they diagnose me with some sort of anxiety disorder now. I have been reading a book on autism that I found and it somewhat satisfies my yearning for closure and community in what the author finds, but it also makes it extra painful that I don't have that.
I don't have ADHD, I just am super annoying. And I need to deal with that and it's not actually all that funny.
I'm sorry for the wall of text. Thanks for sharing your stories and memes and goodbye!
Reconstructing GBA games from audio
Create a bootable, working Pokémon game by recording it crash multiple times.
partition mounted at /home is 250+ GB, but all apps and fs analyzers running on /home say it is only 62 GB "apparent size". Any ideas before I nuke the partition?
- Pop!_OS 22.04
- on a 500GB SATA SSD
- separate partitions with ext4 fs for the root and /home partitions.
I have Googled a lot, resized the home partition and filesystem a few times (from a liveboot USB) and run various analyzers but the problem persists.
Some output:
``` pop-os@pop-os:/media/pop-os$ sudo resize2fs /dev/sda3 resize2fs 1.46.5 (30-Dec-2021) Please run 'e2fsck -f /dev/sda3' first.
pop-os@pop-os:/media/pop-os$ cd a358cafe-a2a3-46a4-ba33-0a82e88fb157/ && sudo ncdu || cd ../ pop-os@pop-os:/media/pop-os$ sudo lsblk /dev/sda3 -o size SIZE 271G pop-os@pop-os:/media/pop-os$ sudo e2fsck /dev/sda3 e2fsck 1.46.5 (30-Dec-2021) /dev/sda3: clean, 264256/17768448 files, 8195768/71048094 blocks pop-os@pop-os:/media/pop-os$ df -h --out=size a358cafe-a2a3-46a4-ba33-0a82e88fb157/ Size 266G ```
ncdu, du show 62 GB and Steam says similarly that there is no space to install games.
When I resize the partition and filesystem, it does show less remaining size. Resizing back to 290 GB, the max is still ~62 GB total apparent space.
Any ideas before I nuke the partition and move my data into a fresh one?
Sea Harrier FRS.1, 1:72, Hasegawa, with magnets
I finished the Sea Harrier yesterday. My third finished kit. Had some interesting mistakes along the way, and it was the first time reviving such old decals (yellowed and broken). Learned a lot. Given the troubles I had, I am very happy with the end result.
