MX (Debian + Nvidia + tools to make use easier).

Debian: Release cadance seems too slow for my preference.

Install OBS and other software from flatpak

Aside from cheetahs, wouldn't most prefer denser vegetation because it makes it easier to hide from prey and predators? It's just that they adapted to a subpar environment because they had an open niche to fill in.

MX, ThinkPad t480, intel+Nvidia (no matter which drivers): close screen to suspend causes it, and it's not happening in other DE's. Can't be bothered to try out xfce on another distro just to confirm. I made a post when I was trying to fix it for myself.

The final straw were the Bluetooth headphones though. Most of the time I'd have to manually select them 20 times as the output device so it sticks, and then it'd switch back to the speakers as soon as the call starts. Or I'd hear the other person through the correct device, but the they couldn't hear me on Skype, but could on Google meet.

MX was pretty reliable otherwise.

Why /joke when that's how stable distros work?

[–] Shareni@programming.dev 14 points 2 days ago

I'm aware of Debian's reputation for not having the most up-to-date software in its repository

Yes, it's a stable distro. Contrary to what most Linux users think, that term only means that the distro is unchanging. That means only necessary updates are released (security fixes for example).

when it will make available the upcoming major release of GIMP to 3.0.

Maybe in the next version, if the gimp release happens soon enough it gets tested.

Just use an external package manager like flatpak to install fresh packages. The only reason I could run MX (Debian) for about a year was because I installed almost every user package through nix, and used Debian ones for the system packages.

The xfce in the current MX has issues with waking up as well. When power manager suspends it, it would often wake up to a black screen and requires either a logout or to apply a xrandr config. Same issue doesn't happen when suspending through systemctl

Not the same scale but Signal has a rather new approach for a messaging client. Completely free and funded by user donations - at least that's the direction they're trying to head

You do realise they're trying to become the crypto WeChat? Shit app with horrible management.

Pre installs an AUR helper

Delays base packages so AUR ones break

DDOS AUR

Based on what, distrowatch? You do realise that's just showing what people clicked on distrowatch, not the actual numbers of users...

Check out Antix, Debian based, and it's primarily made for older devices and has a 32bit ISO

And what improvements could come from incompetent fucks knowing your hostname, mac adress, and other identifying information? Aside from improving their financial status that is...

MX Linux, Xfce 4.18

Closing the laptop lid suspends the system, opening it resumes it, but the screen is black. I'm guessing it's related to powerup because suspending through the logout menu and systemctl suspend both work as expected. When it's black, switching to a different tty works, as well as C-M-Backspace to logout.

Same results with both lightdm and sddm, when replacing suspend with hibernate, and I've tried a few solutions like disabling lock on sleep.

Seems like this issue has been around for years, but had a whole bunch of different causes since every other thread has a different solution.

XFSETTINGSD_DEBUG=1 xfsettingsd --replace --no-daemon > /tmp/xf.log 2>&1

ps -ef | grep -E 'screen|lock'

xfconf-query -c xfce4-power-manager -lv

dmesg, cleared it before trying to suspend

updates:

I'm not seeing a black screen, instead it turns on the display and then turns it off.

Additionally, I tried closing and opening the lid a few times, and it woke up correctly.

I tried it in i3wm with the xfce power manager to suspend after closing the lid. It woke up correctly 10 times in a row.

Solution: start an xrandr config and the monitor turns back on.
