Einen #Desktop #PC habe ich mir vor ein paar Jahren zusammengebaut. Vielleicht hatte ich keine glückliche Hand bei der Auswahl von #CPU, #RAM und #Motherboard und das Zusammenspiel ist nicht optimal?

Er läuft sehr gut - bis auf unvermittelte Totalabstürtze ohne Logeinträge, die mir weiterhelfen konnten.

Irgendwann stolperte ich über ein #Gnome AdOn zur leichten Ampassung der CPU Leistung. Nach der Begrenzung der max. Frequenz via Multimedia-Mode lief er stabil.

Unter #ubuntu 24 funktioniert das AdOn nicht mehr und ich habe mir nun ein Script eingerichtet, welches nach dem Start die max. Frequenz begrenzt:

for cpu in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu[0-9]*; do
    cpufreq-set -c "${cpu##*/cpu}" -u 4490000
done
Schrittweise habe ich die Frequenz von ca. 4,3 GHZ nach jedem Neustart erhöht, und habe so die Stufe herausbekommen, bis der er ohne Absturtz läuft.

Interessanteweise stürtze er nicht bei Operationen ab, bei denen man es erwartet hätte, z.B. der Transkodierung von #Video. Das letzte Mal rauschte er in die Tiefe, als ich lediglich mit #Firefox #GitHub aufgerufen hatte ... was auch immer da die Frequenz nach oben getrieben hat?

Es handlet sich um einen Intel® Core™ i7-9700. Dass ich die 4,7 GHz nicht zur Verfügung habe stört mich übrigens gar nicht. Jedenfalls bemerke ich keine langsamere Arbeitsumgebung durch die Begrenzung ... und Gnome ist offenbar seit den neuen Versionen stark optimiert worden, was die Geschwindigkeit angeht...

Ich habe große Sympathie für @nextcloud@mastodon.xyz und nutze sie seit, ich denke, ca. 10 Jahren gern (selbstgehostet).

Aber der #Desktop #Client bzw. das #Interface für #Linux (#ubuntu 24) stellt meine Loyalität und Begeisterung seit Jahren arg auf die Probe.

Seit Monaten stürzt er beim Computer-Start ab, von Update zu Update bessert sich das nicht und mit dem Neuesten ist das Hauptfenster jetzt "Nextcloud Desktop öffnen" genannt, und die Nautilus-Integration zur Freigabebearbeitung gar nicht mehr nutzbar ...

#NextCloud


Gestern mal kurz #kubuntu unter den Fingern gehabt.

Ich empfand den #Desktop, Desktopp-Menü, #Dolphin und das Einhängen eines #USB-Sticks kompliziert und unübersichtlich, so ähnlich wie bei Windows.

#Gnome erscheint mir dagegen aufgeräumt und simpel in der Bedienung.

Ist natürlich persöhnliche Geschmackssache.

End of 10 na OpenAltu: příležitost přejít z Windows 10 na Linux

Konec podpory Windows 10 přináší zajímavou příležitost pro Linux, protože nechává bez podpory miliony počítačů, které by mohly dál sloužit a na kterých by mohl běžet právě Linux. Proč přechod na Linux dává větší smysl než kdykoliv před tím a jak jsme se rozhodli tomu jít naproti na OpenAltu.

Die geschmeidigste Version war, glaub ich, die 14. Ich bedauere, dass man danach den #Unity #Desktop aufgegeben hat.

Er hat m. M. nach ein innovatives Bedienkonzept gehabt. Schließlich möchte ich kein besseres Windows, weshalb ich mit dem #KDE Desktop oder #Linux #Mint nie richtig warm geworden bin. Das sind trotzdem gute Projekte.



"For decades, the phrase “Year of the Linux Desktop” has been tossed around like a tech industry punchline. But now, it’s no longer a meme—it’s a movement.

This isn’t just about numbers—it’s about momentum. GNU/Linux’s desktop share hovered below 2% for years. But since 2020, it’s been climbing fast.

From the lens of @purism this shift is more than market share—it’s a cultural awakening."

This week's In-Process is out. Featuring all the news on NVDA 2025.2, info on the upcoming NVDA 2025.3, a recap on restarting after updating (no we're not about to enforce that!) and a look into the namesake feature of Microsoft Windows... and just how complicated ARE the Windows+arrow key commands? (Very, but we break it down for you!) All that and more, available now: nvaccess.org/post/in-process-2…

#NextCloud really drove me angry. They simply choose to ignore accessibility concerns in favor of so-called "security". It's absolutely none of their business to protect users from viruses and trojans, and saying that "We can't allow one-press copy public link because a script can call this API" is total BS, because in this case any attacker script has access to every file on that PC! Great job, NextCloud, great job. Whenever someone tells me once more about "giving up big corporations", I'll point them to this issue. And yes, I really hope someone sues them because their #desktop client is a total accessibility nightmare. github.com/nextcloud/desktop/i… #OpenSource #Accessibility



Für die neuen Versionen der @joplinapp@mastodon.social wurde nicht nur die #ScreenReader Kompatibilität für #Desktop und #Mobile verbessert, es gibt auch eine #Accessibility #Hilfe.seite für #Entwickler, die neue Komponenten ergänzen oder alte ändern möchten:

Today I learned that my humble hobby project #Linux #Desktop Migration Tool is being used in a company with 600k employees to migrate to new Linux workstations.

It's amazing how far code I started writing at night to help myself can get.

I decided to update my desktop a bit, but still using the Materia Dark theme. This version should look much more like a Windows-style desktop, just with Material Design based elements. #Linux #Mate #desktop Themes #Materia #MaterialDesign #screenshots


Friendica: Fehlende Emoticons in der mobilen Version?


Ich nutze sowohl die Desktopversion als auch die mobile Version der Friendica Weboberfläche. Nun ist mir schon mehrere Male aufgefallen das in der mobilen Version von Friendica manche Emoticons nicht angezeigt werden. In der Desktopversion sieht es so aus:

Und in der mobilen Version so:

Ich nutze sowohl auf dem Desktop als auch mobil Firefox, daran sollte es also nicht liegen. Die URL des entsprechenden Beitrags ist hier:

Woran kann das liegen?

#GNOME Papers finally becomes a PDF viewer that can digitally sign documents and verify signatures.

The latter was implemented by Marek Kašík from our team. It was several years in the making. He originally implemented it for Evince, but Evince is pretty much dead and it's been waiting to be merged upstream for 1.5 years. When Papers were forked from Evince, Marek rewrote it in #Rust and implemented it there. It's currently under review and should be merged soon. ✌️

My family is a Linux family: both my parents and my wife use Linux, and so will the kids once they have their own computers. Apart from my Dad, they're all non-enthusiasts.

Yet, none of them use a beginner-friendly distribution. My Wife, who's by far the least technologically inclined of them all, is a very happy and satisfied NixOS user. A distribution that's the exact opposite of beginner-friendly.

How is that possible? None of them maintain their systems. I do that for them. In the past two decades, what I learned from helping friends and family with their computers is that the vast majority of non-enthusiasts have absolutely no desire to install and maintain an operating system, or even programs. They're much happier if someone else does that for them.

Therefore, while I see value in distributions aimed at beginner enthusiasts, I see very little value in distributions aimed at non-enthusiasts.

I wrote a few more words about this topic on my blog too.

Once upon ...

While #DeltaChat #Android paved the way for reactions, #iOS and #Desktop did not stand back with awe!
But ran ahead!
Adding tons more possible reactions than poor #Android that could react with 👍👎❤️😂 or 🙁 only! Mostly with 🙁 :)

... but now #DeltaChat #Android catches up, allowing all the things as well :)


Today #GNOME 46 is released and as it has been a tradition for 16 years, I wrote an article about the release for @rootcz (in Czech).

Frog is such a neat little Linux desktop app to extract text from images.

You can give it an image (file selector, drag & drop) or let it take a screenshot. And you can even paste an image from your clipboard!

This is great for adding alt text when posting an image or copying text (as text) from a screenshot for sharing (or adding to UI mockups, as I often do).

It also reads QR codes and supports several languages.

Remember that you can use the "Advanced Web Interface", accessible from your Mastodon account settings, for a TweetDeck-like interface on desktop!

This makes it way easier to see stuff at a glance. If it isn't your thing though, you don't need to use it.

Also note that you can adjust which columns are pinned, so if your local and federated timelines move too quickly, you can just unpin them to only see Home and Notifs, or only open them up manually when you want to see them!

Boost this so people can be made aware!

Hey, anyone at #microsoft interested in #accessibility in #windows11 on the #desktop... Windows Magnifier, in full-screen mode: goes from being clear & sharp to blurry whenever the Taskbar comes into view. More info in Microsoft Feedback Hub, here:

#Linux on the #desktop is becoming more #popular in my home town, but for the wrong reasons.

It's #poverty: many people have no money for a new #laptop or desktop. Their old #computers still work fine, but can't run the latest versions of #Windows.

We backup their data, install #LinuxMint, restore their data, install some extra programs, show them around and they're good to go.

Interestingly no one had problems making the switch so far. All quiet on the support front.


I guess one of the drawbacks of getting back into "Lets run Linux as a primary desktop" is realizing that yeah, the linux community is STILL full of egos that don't like being told what they should and should not do, no matter what the impact on the users.

Case in point gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-s…

Short version: Gnome maintainers allow their own screenshot tool to run without restriction, but block all others.

Great fun.
