If there anything related to amdgpu in output of sudo dmesg?

I've got the same gpu and never seen this

Maybe it’s playing a video in the background while on the menu? Then it could be a problem with codecs. Have you tried GE-Proton by any chance? It has media-foundation codecs builtin

My bet is it tries to default to mode that your display doesn’t like, probably because of some wrong info in monitor’s EDID downloaded from the connector, but that’s just my guess.

Before booting, use key e on grub menu, locate line where there is initrd to pass boot parameters. You can force modes using video= parameter, and you can also replace/modify your EDID. Refer to section # Forcing modes and EDID on this page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel_mode_setting

These changes can also be achieved permanently by editing /etc/default/grub and regenerating its configuration, in case you use grub.

Easiest would be to have separate extra monitor temporarily or another computer to connect over SSH, but if those low “safe” graphics modes work, that can probably do also.

Screw distros, just use Arch

There was a car wash service nearby where I lived, it was places at the end of supermarket parking lot. They got luxury Dodge Challenger car to polish its rims. An employee of that car wash decided to take a ride and crashed the car on a tree. He didn’t even have driving license.

If you call 5 year period “a break” then sure, it's a break. I don’t think it makes what I said any less valid just because I went back to it. It can happen if you loose attention on that problem, and it’s easy when it’s no longer a problem

Quitting isn’t very hard if you've got a valid reason, determination and, most importantly, you set your mind properly. Don’t do “strong will” quitting where you force yourself to go through painful experience of quitting, but you don’t fully understand why you have to. Your mindset is the key - if you start to truly believe you don’t need tobacco and there’s not much that you sacrifice by quitting, it comes naturally and you can call yourself a non-smoker from day 1. You must be certain that there won’t be any reasons to feel there is something missing, you no longer have your daily ritual, you don’t have chat with smoking coworkers or you don’t know what to do with your hands. No matter how hard it sounds to imagine now, as a non-smoker you cannot care less. The typical imagination on how hard it is to change habits or how nothing is the same after that change, you must remember that your mind projects that to you in a very hyperbolic way. Same goes as the physical aspect of nicotine addiction - some say that your body would absolutely freak out if you suddenly remove nicotine from it. For the most part, this is utter bullshit. Yes, you can totally perceive nicotine hunger, but it’s there only for as long as there’s some nicotine left in your body. You only need 10-14 days to get rid of all of the nicotine and that’s it. In practice the hunger isn’t even as bad as smokers typically make it out to be. The mental addiction is much harder, because if you stay addicted and keep feeling as you were robbed out of something you liked, you can go back to it even after long time, even if cigarettes taste like shit and make you sick to the stomach and you want to vomit and poo at the same time.

I’ve quit smoking multiple times, sadly you can go back to it after some time if you decide to experiment with it to maybe teach yourself to be “casual smoker” (which you won’t be, believe me), or like in my case smoking weed mixed with tobacco has put me right back in nicotine addiction. I’ve quit smoking 2 years ago now, I was sick of that shit.

Interesting! The UI looks like it uses GTK for drawing widgets?

Sort of disappointed with Kamala campaign. It’s 90% of saying how Trump is a moron (which is still true), 9% repetitive buzz words, 1% embarrassing herself while being asked on economy, also suggesting communism as the way moving forward.

Couldn’t he just eat shit already?

So I'm stuck with Ubuntu LTS on workstation from my employer and cannot do anything about it due to policies/enrollment software. I will be able to update to 24.04 soon, but it doesn't help much, as it ships Plasma 5.27 - which isn't bad, but there's a leap of features and general polish to the new Plasma that really shines on more up-to-date distros and fixes some annoyances.

And honestly, LTS gets old so quickly that I have to go to external sources like Flatpak, Homebrew or Nix for fresh stuff anyway. That Ubuntu install is then thin underlying OS that stays the same for a long time. Even 22.04 is then fine for some years to come.

As for the build, I used kde-builder (kdesrc-build) and jump through a big pile of hoops with dependencies. I needed to manually compile some of the required libraries that were either too old or missing. I downloaded Qt from the official website in the most recent stable version. When all is properly set and done, it works like a charm, just like on my other(archbtw) box.

If there's some interest I could try and put together what I discovered in a form of something like tutorial, but that would be a lot of work for an info that's useful for just handful of people. Anyway, if you try to do it yourself, feel free to ask questions if you're stuck on something.
