Merry LinuXmas! 🎄🐧

PIMP.

Enshittification begins?

Thank you for the info. I’ll try a live USB with Kubuntu 25.10 or 26.04dev and check it out. Now that you mention that, the blurriness was indeed related with scaling (though not fractional).

The main one is the Wacom stylus & screen, on a Thinkpad X1Extreme. I tried Wayland from a live Kubuntu 24.04, and in settings there was the message “Unsupported platform detected. Currently only X11 is supported”. At that point I didn’t check anything else. I also noticed that the desktop and windows weren’t so “crisp” as they were under X11, although I can’t exactly explain where the feeling came from; probably I would have chosen X11 even if the stylus had worked.

I suspect that I can actually login on a Wayland session even now; I’ll try it out as soon as I have time.

Thank you, I didn’t know this, it’s comforting and gives a bit of hope!

Good to hear! Keeping my fingers crossed.

True. Let’s hope and see.

Or stylus users. If the stylus functionality won’t be fixed in Wayland when this change happens, I’ll have stop my regular donation to KDE and start looking for another desktop environment to support.

Love it when the why is explained and not just the how. Thanks for the informative guide!

For trackpad gestures, check out touchegg and touché; I’m using it on Kubuntu.

What I wonder: are the majority of UK citizens OK with this law?

Not that it matters probably, as UK isn’t a democracy in practice…

I hope these evil arsehole moves will span new mobile-phone companies who see the economic benefit of taking side with the users. A little like it happened with Framework and laptops.

My mobile is dying; when it’s dead it’ll be GrapheneOS – and fuck you Google.

Thanks for asking. I think I’ve had it for a week, and luckily no issues so far. I use it sparsely though, I always have on-demand mode. But I imagine Ubuntu Studio has important differences from Ubuntu?

Happy to have helped! I’m myself testing 580 now, fingers crossed :)

I don’t know if it’s the same in Ubuntu Studio, but in Ubuntu and derivates you can launch sudo software-properties-gtk or sudo software-properties-qt from a terminal. In the window that appears, choose the tab ‘Additional Drivers’. There you can choose the Nvidia graphic drivers you prefer among older and newer versions. Good way to roll back.

Apologies if this was obvious 🙏

Great to hear! All’s well that ends well :)

Now I understand, thank you for the explanation!
