  • That’s awesome. I need to migrate off of Google Keep. It’s the last Google service I use.

  • New rumor suggests Valve's Steam Deck 2 is much further away than we thought

  • You can upgrade the SSD in a Steam Deck instead of using an SD card. It is pricey though.

  • Vivaldi takes a stand: keep browsing human

  • If AI contributes to that goal without stealing intellectual property, compromising privacy or the open web, we will use it. If it turns people into passive consumers, we will not.

    So they didn’t really make a stand.

  • You can run a WebDAV server and bind to the interface on your local network.

    There’s also an ad hoc version if you don’t want it running all the time.

  • Hey, I’m in most of those graphs! :) Just not the last one. My most popular package only gets about 40k downloads a month.

  • Let's update...

    Jump

  • Because you’re “sync”ing with the state of the repo. You’re not necessarily upgrading. Sometimes the repos have a lower version than what you have, so you would be downgrading in that case. Or sometimes you’re just using it to install a new package and its dependencies.

    -u is upgrade. And -uu is upgrade or downgrade. It’s used to filter the packages that sync operates on, so basically you’re syncing any packages that have a different version than the repo.

    -y for refresh? No idea. -r is root, so I guess it was already in use by the time someone added refresh?

  • No idea. I updated it, and then it wouldn’t boot. So, I reinstalled.

  • Unable to boot after the update. That’s happened to me multiple times with pacman, so I eventually switched to Fedora.

  • And yet I’ve never had an apt upgrade break my whole system.

  • Check out Helvum for routing audio through Pipewire. It’s a patchbay that just lets you drag and drop the wires to connect things. I use Carla, personally, which lets you also add things like compressors and sidechains, but Carla is a lot heavier, so Helvum is a good place to start.

    Also, anything that works for JACK should work for Pipewire, because Pipewire implements a JACK compatible audio server.

    Technically, ALSA is always running and controlling the hardware directly, but it can only accept one audio stream, so you put an audio server in front of it to allow multiple streams. It used to be just JACK for professional stuff and Pulseaudio for consumer stuff. Then Pipewire came along as the best of both worlds. It uses Wireplumber to manage the session (connect things automatically), and implements a JACK compatible server and a Pulse compatible server so everything can connect to it.

  • It is designed for that stuff, but it’s not designed for Linux novices. Any distro can do that kind of stuff. Ubuntu Studio makes choices that are _only _ intended for that kind of stuff. Pipewire is almost as good as JACK in that regard. The only difference is Pipewire has slightly higher latency. Ubuntu Studio also has a very slim desktop environment and a real-time optimized kernel that are specifically to reduce latency in audio and video processing. Unless you need real-time audio and video processing with extremely low latency (like you’re streaming and using tens of audio/video sources), I would highly recommend trying out another distro. Ubuntu Studio is a very good distro, but it is not user friendly. I would say you have to be quite familiar with Linux to have a good time with Ubuntu Studio.

    Since you’re using your machine for other things besides content creation, a general purpose OS should be what you’re aiming for. I’d recommend either Mint or Fedora.

  • Ubuntu Studio is for professional creators who know quite a bit about Linux. It chooses systems (like JACK) that are really exceptionally good at content creation, but don’t Just Work™️. It is the exact opposite of what I would recommend to a Linux noob, and I’m not surprised at all that OP has had constant issues with it. It is not made for people like OP.

    I have nothing against Ubuntu Studio as a distro. It is made for a certain group of people, and OP is not in that group. That’s why I’m wondering why OP chose it. Who directed OP to dip their toes into Linux with a distro like Ubuntu Studio?
