  • You can try making a virtual machine with a 20 GB virtual hard drive to try out different Linux distros in the meantime.

  • If we do make that, can we make the git CLI equivalent tool not terrible like the current.

    I found git to be so frustrating to learn by trial and error. All the different ways it won't let you pull updates, the confusing branch and stream tracking stuff where I have to make a new branch and cherry pick the one commit I actually was intending to put in a PR. Finally I find the error messages could probably be way more informative and helpful.

  • Oh, can you tell me how to disable all the tracking then? https://youtu.be/IT4vDfA_4NI?si=9kY3yD5yceifSyq8

    Its really not a good OS anymore.

  • [App] I recently made an update to my SD Card scanning app [GitHub - ddotthomas/SteamDeck_SD_Card_Scanner: A program to keep track of the games on the SD card on a Steam Deck]

    I made this app to help me keep track of the different games I have on each of my SD cards. If you have 2 or more SD cards that you swap between and you're ever trying to remember which one has which, this app will help you out.

    Right now it's a completely stand-alone app that I recommend launching through Steam. I might one day look into making a version as Decky loader plugin that more people might use.

    As there's no official game-pad layout I would just switch to the 'Web Browser' layout provided by Valve as it has a mouse scroll wheel bound to the left track-pad and the mouse cursor on the right.

    The first thing you'll probably notice is there's some resolution bug with the app where if you launch it in Desktop Mode, the font and dividers are much much larger than they should be. Otherwise, if you launch it in gaming mode, the mouse cursor can only reach about 40% of the display area for some reason. ¯\\(ツ)/¯ If you have any clue on what might help, please feel free to reach out on GitHub or here

    Since I last posted about my app, I've added a search bar to help filter the list for any specific game you might be looking for; and also improved the UI and coloring.

    Thank you for reading my whole post, please share it to any friends you think might find it helpful or interesting.

    I've had to force reset my desktop running Pop after waking from sleep a couple times recently

    How's everyone weekend going? I've been dealing with this issue for a little while so I thought I would finally look into it and make a post about it.

    Sometimes when I wake my PC from sleep, it fails to resume correctly. I'm able to log in from the lock screen just fine, but when I get to my desktop there's usually some graphical glitches like medium-sized black boxes spanning across different application windows. The next thing I'll notice is that if I try to close windows or interact with the desktop, it will lock up to the point I can't use my mouse or keyboard. Trying to switch to another TTY terminal doesn't even work at that point. If I switch to a TTY quickly before it locks up then I can use the reboot command normally as a fix.

    If it does lock up however, I'm still able to REISUB in order to reset. I've found all the times that I've done that recently in my syslog and linked it to this pastebin; I tried to keep anything that seemed relevant from when the PC goes to sleep until when I had to reset it manually.

    Looking through my syslogs, I notice lines that seem to indicate the GPU isn't waking correctly. (ie codium.desktop[19525]: [19525:0616/173717.963456:ERROR:gpu\_process\_host.cc(991)] GPU process exited unexpectedly: exit\_code=512, and GpuWatchdog[84807]: segfault at 0 ip 00007fa297f929a6 sp 00007fa28c3fd370 error 6 in libcef.so[7fa293aef000+7770000] likely on CPU 3 (core 3, socket 0) ) I'm not sure if that means its a mesa driver issue, a CPU sleep state issue, or maybe just the current kernel update. I was hoping someone with more experience could look through the pastebin link and see if you notice anything I didn't. I separated the different crashes with white space.

    My desktop is an Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Formula with a Ryzen 9 5950X CPU, and a XFX Radeon 6700x GPU

    Thank you for you time and help, let me know if I left anything important out.
