This isnt freeware.
“Free” in free software is free like free speech, not free as in beer.
This is one of the places where english fails. Libre vs gratis

This is not an OS behaviour. KDE is a desktop environment.
If it bothers you so much, remove the DE and use the command line, full time
Framework would be an instant buy for me if not the 3:2 screen. I’m not a developer, so there’s no upside for me
I just want the repairability
I have to use windoze for my work laptop…
15% cpu constantly being used by bullshit telemetry processes. Gigs of RAM also being eaten up by bullshit processes and “try copilot!!” popups every time i accidently make the wrong gesture on the touchpad.
My 9 year old laptop with only 8GB RAM running debian is blazing fast in comparison.
Most likely x11 vs wayland
Sorry, i dont have all the links available, but the root cause of the problem is apparently with the amdgpu driver
Kscreen was supposed to implement some kind of workaround, but i lost track of how that was going.
I’ve had this problem for years. I contributed to one of the existing bug reports for kscreen on this.
If i dont login to kde (sddm login screen), the screens will shut off normally… But once i login, the problem starts. So i concluded the problem is with kscreen2. I even tested by killijg kscreen2 and the problem goes away
I know lemmy has a gigantic hate boner for LLMs, but if you plugged this scenario into a good one (probably not the bog standard “free” chatgpt in bing) you’ll probably get a very entertaining conversation.
My bank used to complain that my browser was out of date. I wrote an email to customer service explaining to them that:
A) debian’s “out of date” browser actually includes all up to date security patches. B) simply reading the browser agent isnt really security. I had simply been spoofing my browser agent to get around their silly browser “security” policy
They removed the browser check 2 weeks later. Not sure if it was because of me
For me, no…
I’ve gone from debian 9 to debian 11 and now debian sid without reinstalling OS on my desktop
Same with my servers. Debian 8 -> 11 all upgrades in-place. Will have to upgrade to 12 soon…
The only time i messed up an upgrade is when accidentally used the codename “bookworm” in the sources file and skipped a major version. The system tried to fully upgrade 2 versions ahead and promptly borked itself… But it was an LXC container so i just rolled back my mistake. Lesson learned…
But yeah. Full re-installs have NEVER been a thing for me since going debian. It will even happily clone to a new SSD when you need to upgrade your hardware. (As long as your new hardware has in-kernel drivers, or at least some basic functionality to boot and fix the problem, if any)
Once people become familar with the basics of linux, they realize that almost anything that these niche distros offer can be accomplished in debian
You’ll always end up on debian. You just dont know it yet
Sane move by maintainer, but he should not go around calling other people’s code crap unless there is proof that the code was actually crap with gaping security hole
To be fair, it looks like the debian maintainer started the unfriendly discourse by calling the work of other FOSS devs “crap”
Everyone needs to chill out, otherwise we have another potential XZ social engineering attack
It would be catastrophic for something like keepass to have a malicious maintainer take over
Debian sid user here, and long time keepassxc user
Debian maintainer didnt communicate this well, but i agree that i dont want my password manager having any access to networking or interacting with anything other than the clipboard.
I’m not a developer or a security expert. This is just my gut feeling talking
Why not just fix sudo then?
Thats why i said you just need a few minutes on ethernet… Although i can see the problem these days with a lot of laptops shipping without ethernet ports
totally anecdotal… but i’ve installed debian on a bunch of different machines and i’ve never had to “prepare additional installation media” for any weird hardware/firmware/drivers… i just installed the base system and connected ethernet if any non-free stuff is needed. has anyone ever come across an ethernet interface that didn’t work out of the box? maybe it didn’t work 100%, but at least good enough to download the proper firmware to fix?
Yes. Mounted network drives.
I think a lot of the shutdown hang problems went away when i switched to systemd automount
