Now that the cryptomining has become a worthless meme on gpus many miners sell like crazy.

I mean if someone looks at a machine to get they can focus on getting supported hardware or swapping with a cheap af gpu from ebay.

But Tobias, why do you assume they are looking at a computers before installing anything?

Normally is the other way around.

Even if someone cant run out and instabuy you can recommend them to run commands xyz, then plan for the future months to ditch their gpu when they can to get the best support.

You have a computer and you install stuff on it.

If it works, good. If it doesn't, you move to another system.

But Tobias, why do you assume they are looking at a computers before installing anything?

I dont, i plan in the option that someone can upgrade later.

With that reason everyone should stay on windows.

Because nvidia will fail, eventually, on newer kernels.

You plan! But normal people don't!

You plan! But normal people don't!

Thats why i tell them to plan afterwards.

Linux has worked far better in my computers than Windows. Just saying.

As said, right now mining gpus are cheap as fuck from ebay and if they really want permanent longterm support they can look at amdgpu supported cards to get in the next months.

Did anybody ask for you to advertise your chat or is it related to fedora?

Well if it not allowed i'll revoke it

Okay. But 80% of people have a computer and no interest or spare resources in buying new stuff. So... they will work with whatever works with the hardware they have.

Read the group rules then.

In that case LTS applies.

But i have seen quite often that many, if told to plan a switch for their own good, can work towards it.

Read the group rules then.

It has nothing mentioned about it

It's not strictly forbidden but you should ask first.

It has nothing mentioned about it

It has a list of chats the admins have approved to be shared and are fedora related.

I mean, it's Ubuntu. It's quite unlikely someone will be interested. But you can ask and see if anyone is interested to join.

You came out of the blue, with a chat few to noone in here wanted, and shared it in the vain hopes of catching new members.

Just saying "I want you to join" is rather rude @abhishek_0

That's what i did , i asked if anyone like to join

You should've asked first if anyome was even interested.

That's what i did , i asked if anyone like to join

You didnt. You just posted the link.

@Wolfshappen Thank you, but I think I am the admin here and I can handle it.

Just saying "I want you to join" is rather rude @abhishek_0

That might have come wrong :P

You wrote "I created this group (link) and I would like you to join". You didn't ask first if there was anyone interested in such a group or if it was okay to post it here.

I'm quite new to Fedora KDE spin. How up-to-date do they keep Plasma? I'm on 5.13.5 on F28 - and a bit envious of the Neon guys already on 5.14. Would I have to wait for F29 - or will it come to F28 in it's own good time...?

Edited it, i hope it's cool now

Neon is the testing spin of kde after all. Just wait a few days for the f29 release or update, because usually not that much changes between releases.

I truly wonder how many Fedora users are interested in Ubuntu.... I have an estimate, but I won't share it....

Let me guess 0 .... Badum tssss

Well, after all we moved from there to be rescued by the awesome packagers, qa and community from here. :P

True

And to not have 2000 packages which only come from "Community support" Packagers with no guaranteed updates or someone even checking for bugs or security updates regularily.

AFAIK, F29 is coming in 9 days. You should get both, system and desktop upgrade together.

I hate updates.... It means work...

Edited it, i hope it's cool now

Yes, that's okay. But for future reference, you or anyone else, please ask first.

and having to support seven or more linux variants in a CI/CD pipeline is annoying...

I hate updates.... It means work...

Mine work smoothly. What's wrong with yours? Why they don't work?

Yes, that's okay. But for future reference, you or anyone else, please ask first.

Cool :)

Damn my hands are slippin a lot

I hate typing on glass

Today we had to move PostgreSQL from 10 to 11. Now our build pipeline fails for every Linux variant we support.... They wisely chose to use LLVM for a new feature, so we have to check all variants of linux and make them build the software again.....

Well, after all we moved from there to be rescued by the awesome packagers, qa and community from here. :P

Totally true. ?

So far Fedora builds are ok ;)

I hate typing on glass

Oh, I hate it too. That's why I use my laptop mainly, so I don't have to deal with onscreen keyboards.

Pgsql coming for F29?

Because that was a little late after the beta freeze i think.

eventually for sure.

Ah, okay, that's a completely different level of upgrades. I thought you meant the releases.

(I am writing commercial software, base on open source elements)

Fedora releases usually update quite smoothly, but it takes time until all the stuff I usually need is available, like e.g. PostgreSQL

Ah, okay.

is not there a graphical option to install the video card's proprietary drivers? I only found this guide from rpmfusion -> https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/NVIDIA

There is

You need to install rpmfusion-nonfree-appstream-data

then look in gnome-software—>addons—> drivers

However the best is cli imo.

Afterall it's nvidia

Hi i will change from arch linux to fedora :D but i dont know how to handle the passphrase for the disk encryption

Hi i will change from arch linux to fedora :D but i dont know how to handle the passphrase for the disk encryption

If you're on arch , why would you change :P

It is the BEST

If you're on arch , why would you change :P

yeah but i hate it, if i want to get it fast

and because arch is my first real linux os i want to test some other distros

and because arch is my first real linux os i want to test some other distros

i'll bet you'll come back to arch ,,,, because AUR!

i'll bet you'll come back to arch ,,,, because AUR!

Soo Bad?

What are you using @abhishek_0?

i use arch

Ok but I have still the problem how I can use strong passwords for the disk encryption

i hangout mostly with ubuntu people , and currently packaging software to fedora

Ok but I have still the problem how I can use strong passwords for the disk encryption

When you're installing Fedora, it will offer you an option to encrypt your disk. There you can choose password, kind of encryption and so.

Ok but I have still the problem how I can use strong passwords for the disk encryption

create sha sum of a file , and destroy it , then use that as a password

It's not something you do afterwards @alphon_anon

create sha sum of a file , and destroy it , then use that as a password

What?

That doesn't even make sense!

i hangout mostly with ubuntu people , and currently packaging software to fedora

If you're really using Arch, you should contribute to Arch.

That doesn't even make sense!

he asked for a strong password , thats the most random it can get

When you're installing Fedora, it will offer you an option to encrypt your disk. There you can choose password, kind of encryption and so.

Ok but I can only use easy passwords

If you're really using Arch, you should contribute to Arch.

there is no written rule about that, infact i package stuff for arch too

there is no written rule about that, infact i package stuff for arch too

There is no written rule, but it's strongly advised to package stuff one actually use. So if you're using Arch, is better to package for Arch.

Ok but I can only use easy passwords

Well, there's Keepax and a few other similar programs that can help you to create a stronger password.

Although I don't see why can use easy passwords only during install

i'll bet you'll come back to arch ,,,, because AUR!

Try not to push people just because you prefer something, please. It's very rude.

i gently disagree, idk who advises that, but thats wrong

what matters is quality software , doesnt matter if it is packaged on arch, fedora or something else

Try not to push people just because you prefer something, please. It's very rude.

i didnt push anyone

i gently disagree, idk who advises that, but thats wrong

It's advised by Fedora devs. I think it's even in one of the wiki pages about packaging.

i'll bet you'll come back to arch ,,,, because AUR!

Arch isn't really the most elite distro in the existence. Plus you're kinda pushing him... don't.
