@kerravonsen oh yay, noice. if you happen to catch this particular immutable bug [it's been slowly growing in me for a few years, but til this year i always found reasons to wanna stay mutable], then though less far along their Dev path [both still in Alpha], there's also #KDELinux & #Kalpa (or #Aeon for GNOME rather than KDE Plasma). we are so lucky! @rob

@rob ha. i can see your point. i have a slight twist though on your theory. in my case, i did not reach a point recently of choosing :linuxdebian: , but instead decided that i am now too old fat & lazy to still "enjoy" needing to do the various little bits & pieces to keep my :archlinux: all ticketyboo, so decided to go #immutable #atomic for a quieter life. hence, lappy now is single-boot Kinoite, & tower is now triple-boot Kinoite / ArchLinux / SparkyLinux. so my details are different, but i think i do get the essence of your sentiment, & agree. fwiw.

@passthejoe I mean, #Kalpa does, but that's because I stole it from #Aeon, common base and all =P

@ernestowg Do you have Recommends enabled/disabled?
#Tumbleweed or #Kalpa?

Or those reinstalled packages RPM-based or Flatpaks?

@pheonix but did it really?

Windows 11's hardware requirements sent millions of perfectly functional CPUs to the landfill


ofc for months & years leading up to Oct 2025, lots of pundits were predicting this would happen. however we are now past that date, so when i see peeps still repeating the old prospective claim, my desire for objectivity kicks in. do we have actual factual evidence that the terrible hardware armageddon did happen? ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

hi @kalpa - i just wanted to praise you for this, per pic. in the much older Kalpas i'd installed in "olden days", this auto update and notification just never would work for me. otoh, all more recent installs have this working nicely, which is really convenient. well done.

#alttext
Kalpa notification telling me that updates have been done & reboot is needed.

in recent days, in my Lappy's Kinoite [but not also in my Tower's Kinoite], two of my important apps, installed as #flatpaks (coz... #immutable #atomic system), have gone bonkers & are unusable... #KeePassXC & #QDirStat. They used to work fine, but now their GUIs don't correctly paint on the screen, have severe flickering of individual elements, & either don't respond to clicks, or respond incorrectly. I dunno, but suspect it might be related to my Lappy being old, with thus old nvidia graphics [cf; Tower does not use nvidia]. Coz i only use Lappy occasionally [as opposed to Tower = daily], i dunno exactly when they went to hell. none of my attempts to troubleshoot, including allowing more & more app Flatpak Permissions for them, helped. so, this morn, exasperated, i decided to stop fighting them, & instead bypass them. i fired up my ArchLinux #Distrobox, then installed both apps in it, confirmed both work correctly, did the distrobox-export dance, uninstalled both those flatpaks, &... huzzah. I love #FOSS ๐Ÿ’Ÿ

Hello to other Fedora Kinoite users. Do any of you pls know how to install the #Oxygen #GlobalTheme, or at least these individual parts:
- Application Style
- Window Decorations
- Icons
- Cursors

I use those by choice in my tower's ArchLinux boot, but in my Kinoite boot this theme is absent. My online search attempts for a solution have not helped. Ta

i have a ginormous collection of browser #bookmarks, going back decades. am now pondering the efficacy, or not, & efficiency, or not, of trying to convert my browsing to a #tag-based paradigm rather than bookmark-based, similar to the success i experienced a year ago when i converted my #Thunderbird email history from complex folder hierarchy, to #tags.

anyone already trod this path, pls?

@timkenhan @vkc well, eg [& i say this as a devoted KDE Plasma Wayland lover, not hater] so far i have not found a #FOSS #GUI way to gain #RemoteAccess with full graphical desktop control to a remote pc running a Wayland session, whereas for an X11 remote it's a doddle. I like using #RustDesk & #AnyDesk, but afaict neither yet has solved this specific problem.

@gperson@social.linux.pizza How do you do Wayland #remoteaccess?

In my tower's Arch Plasma boot, like you i only use the Wayland session option, ignoring the X11 option.

In my tower's Kinoite Plasma boot, being Fedora there is no X11, only W.

My lappy also runs Kinoite. It is impossible to remote access it using FOSS from my tower, afaik, because neither
#RustDesk nor #AnyDesk yet support a Wayland remote pc.

I don't understand why more users are not worried about this.

yesterday i learned of this new, nascent, feature in โ€‹:firefox_nightly:โ€‹ -- a context-menu option to add a note to a tab. atm it is very raw, coz whilst adding a note works, as does later editing it, there seems no way to inspect some "index" of notes one has created over time.

context menu of a firefox nightly native tab, showing a new option to add a note, albeit it is not actually visually denoted as "new", unlike the recent welcome split tabs view option, higher up the list.

@transcendentempress@eldritch.cafe you will get many answers i expect, prolly severely contradictory, but here's an option many prolly won't offer. if you'd like to get a well-setup โ€‹:archlinux:โ€‹ that uses only the standard Arch repos, so you can trust there's no funny business going on, & you'd like the convenience of a graphical installer [#Calamares], check out #ezarcher by @eznix

in my #blahajzone #sharkey instance's #antenna i follow numerous hashtags, including lotsa FOSS & โ€‹:linux:โ€‹ ones... one of which being #Arch... intending it to be for ArchLinux [which i also follow]. an unexpected side-effect is that this also captures other types of arches, non-penguin ones, like this, with often stunning photos. so... #serendipity! ๐Ÿ˜†

@kalpa@fosstodon.org Hi again, i've now setup my VMs in my fresh #Kinoite system, so here's some pics from my #Kalpa VM within it, to show you what i mean.


As for your user script, i now begin to suspect this might be closer to the heart of the problem. in many many of the Kalpa installs i have done, that script never completes... the dialogue box sits on the desktop saying "
waiting for internet", despite it being connected already. if that is supposed to be creating the User state for flatpaks, but never completes, then i suppose the consequence is... exactly what i have been experiencing.

i'm in australia. is it possible that there are no local mirrors, & so the distant ones are high latency, causing this behaviour? whatever the reason, i assure you this has been a significant problem for me for a long time, across many kalpa installs.

password needed in Discover for system update. this does not worry me... is fine.otoh, simply trying to install a flatpak app with Discover also needs a password, which i do regard as a problem.my Discover's Settings, showing enabled repos.

@enbykibby thx! by the time i went to bed in the wee small hours, it was still timing out & i was still pissed off. this morning, there was finally progress... my umpteenth attempt was still hideously slow, but somehow managed to avoid the timeouts, so i was able at last to complete the transaction, reboot, & finally it is now all behaving sweetly. far freaking out ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿคฏ

don't get why people like immutable distros
i was thoroughly disinterested in them for ages, but ~12-18 months ago began to get curious, so began playing with some in VMs. in parallel, as i have grown older, fatter, & even more lazy than ever ๐Ÿ˜ฎ, my interest in maintaining my Arch primary boot has been waning... it remains splendid, not letting me down, tis just that my laziness is taking over. so slowly slowly slowly over recent months, the idea of trying an immutable on-SSD as a real daily system, not just a VM toy, began to grow on me. aaaaand, here we are! ๐Ÿ˜†
