Mobile Linux Takeover? Evangelical pov
I raised a similar post a few weeks ago (https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/m4m2yn/linux_evangelism/), and got mixed responses. The one that stuck with me the most is that mobile is king now - laptops and PCs are for specialists.
Now my inner computer-reactionary didnt like this at first. I felt like 'Desktop Linux strong, Desktop Linux should win'. but I now realize something. Linux mobile has strong potential in the mobile-market. Why?
The big reason, I believe, isnt fundamentally about Linux, but has to do with the greater commercial atmosphere. Todays companies push a variety of tech products - largely phones, tablets, smart tvs, and computers (laptops + PCs). Now it doesn't need to be this way - with a wacom tablet (although maybe theres a driver issue with ARM?), USB dock, keyboard, and different sized dumb monitors, you could hypothetically modularly build this functionality off of the base off of a phone. You kinda see flickers of this now already.
Maybe even a laptop chassis that you can dock your phone inside of (like a Thinkpad dock, but a laptop form). I think theres a Raspberry Pi project like that.
The kicker is, other companies have a commercial interest in selling you their myriad tech gadgets, an interest then in each of the gadgets designed to serve a role that respects the other's marketed domain (ie iPhones wont be designed that outmode a macbook). So if youre a regular 2021 person, you might be content with just a phone, but youre still missing functionality, and its convenience, of say a laptop - and that probably won't change too soon (even if you can plug into screen, keyboard, etc, it wont have a true desktop experience - one of the main criticisms of iPads-as-a-laptop iirc).
But if the Linux phone experience was strongly compelling, and could switch to a bonafide desktop experience (like in Raspbian) when needed, you could wrap the WHOLE gamut of gadgets' functionalities into one, and compromise very little along the way. This would be a h*ll of a flagship - and it probably wouldnt break the bank.
Need to file your taxes, or have to write up a document? Plug the dock to the phone, hook up to monitor and keyboard - boom, you have a 'regular computer'. Want to play games? Doesnt work rn very good (Steam that is), but it could - better than Android or iOS probably could (Steam games, not mobile...). Want to netflix and chill? Hook phone up to larger monitor with decent speakers. Want to draw or photo edit? Hook up wacom (maybe you dont even need the monitor for that, although its nice). (If it comes with a stylus, well, thats even better ;)
But then on the go, its the same old swipy phone. In a big innate 'OpSec' sense, it's more secure - having one device to worry about, rather than many. The most tech insecure ppl will have a less-broad barn to get hit on. Only drawback is if its lost or stolen, you've lost the farm (maybe a backup drive in the dock?).
Now this isn't all just stupid convenient, it also means you are FAR less dependent on the cloud. You dont need to share data between your devices... bc you only have one device (and then there's Syncthing). The cloud still has its use cases, but this would mean your whole life doesnt need to be there. This means there isn't a foot-in-the-door encouraging you to use web apps and the like. Google Suite is very convenient, partially bc it integrates w the cloud (also collaboration)... but if we dont need the cloud, well LibreOffice is that much more appealing.
And ideally, such a phone would follow in the steps (or be one of them) of the PinePhone or Librem 5, and be able to physically disconnect service, camera, etc. For privacy conscious people, this is a great sell. I mean, even today a lot of people tape over their laptop webcams cause they dont trust it, but that is hard to do on a phone w/o looking like trash. A button to fix this would be a godsend for many; same with the mic. Also, for those politically active (from protest to even just unionizing), this means

they can trust their device when they need to. No geofencing you if you dont have signal!
This would also be environmentally great.
The problem is making it happen, mobile Linux is still pretty young. I just ordered the next round of PinePhone a week ago, so looking forward to getting some hands on experience. It clearly needs a lot of work, but I think a Linux phone *could* do what others wont, and what Linux desktop unfortunately couldn't - provide a FOSS basis to the masses, educating by experience and community the benefits of FOSS.
Now for some cases, it clearly won't cut it. I'm not planning on waiting for an MD simulation to run on my phone (but who knows though lol). But these cases arent the main market anymore, and I think for an enterprising Linux tech company (like the Pine people or System76), this would be fantastic hardware.
I feel like the hardware is almost there rn, its the software. And the software is, rough as it is, not too far behind. Its kinda ugly rn, but I have faith it'll catch uo :) As I always believe, greater FOSS adoption is to the benefit of everyone, and its a worthy goal imo. This is my thought on what could produce the 'Linux breakthrough', tapping into a really useful convenience others may be reluctant to provide

Crazy Idea: README-based file manager (or plugin)
Basically, it would work like GitHub where, if it sees a README.md (or README.txt, or some common variation), it automatically displays the contents in a separate pane. Ideally, it would be editable directly in the file manager (for instance, a plugin for Konqueror that automatically opens it in a text editor tab).
Some other desired features:
- Relative paths to files/folders should be clickable links (which act as if you double clicked on the file or folder itself).
- Use case: "This folder contains aux files for ../src.sh", clicking the path should open the source file.
- Remote READMEs - add the option to use a README from a different folder so that the current folder isn't modified (for instance, if running a bash noscript that just gobbles up all the files in a directory but you still want to write yourself an overview for those files, such as when the bash noscript was last run and where the output goes; alternatively, this would allow READMEs for read-only directories).
- Automatic READMEs for system folders (e.g., if you open /bin, the file manager loads a README that describes the folder (the READMEs for system folders are stored somewhere else but loaded when that folder is opened)).
- When not editing them, markdown files are rendered (no images, only up to a certain file size to reduce load times).
- Checkboxes in markdown files should be interactive.
- Support for automatic filling - if you edit the markdown with @COMMAND, then when you click away the README is updated.
- @ALIAS searches the current directory for all shell aliases and puts them into the README.
- @RECENT would update with the most recent file change of all files (not including the README).
- @TODO searches text files in the current and sub-directory for "TODO:" then copies the text until the next linebreak and adds it to the README.
- If a .git folder is found, @GITHUB could create a link to the repo; @COMMITS could autofill with the last few commits and their timestamps; @PULL could create a link that, when clicked, sends a "git pull" command in the background, etc.
- Most of this framework would rely on a file manager with built-in text editor, so clicking on a text file should open it where the README would normally appear.
Basically, this would be like using Kate's Filesystem Browser in Detailed Tree view (but with tabs and more filesystem operations) and it automatically opens/previews any READMEs that it sees (along with shell noscripts that run in the background when a README.md file is closed and searches for "@COMMAND"). Alternatively, a plugin for Konqueror that opens READMEs automatically.
I'm a statistician with zero background in making software, but this would be a great way to organize some research projects. It would be convenient to set READMEs so I can quickly go through folders to find which analysis was where and what my current work was. As it stands, I have a README in every project folder that I open any time I open a project (VSCode or RStudio or Kate), so it would be nice to have this workflow be automatic. It would also be cool to have, say, a folder full of photos with a README to show the metadata. I'm a bit of a Linux noob, so the automatic system folder READMEs would help me learn my way around a bit better.

Is there a PDF Reader/Editor that handles advanced forms correctly (Like those used by USCIS)?
I am in the middle of working through the US Visa process for a relative, and For the life of me cannot find a linux native app that can handle the advanced restrictions that USCIS places on their documents.
They have lots of custom designed forms which are all fill-able, with features that I have not seen implemented elsewhere which break evince - Such as Fields that are only fill-able if you select a checkbox before hand, whole sections which are read only unless you enter certain content, and even self updating Barcodes which update as you type information into the document.
Does anyone have any experience with an app on linux that can handle these advanced PDFs? So far we have been stuck using my Wife's Windows machine to do these (God awful), but all my computers are linux-based.

Can't change brightness after failed installation of amdgpu driver on my laptop
I tried to install amdgpu driver for ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS on my hp laptop which has a amd ryzen 2200U with vega 3 onboard graphics. I encountered a problem in installation and learnt that installation isn't possible for some reason and then uninstalled amdgpu. But after all that i couldn't change the brightness at all.i tried to update which updated my kernel from 5.4.67 generic to 5.4.70 generic but still faced the same problem. Also installing 'brightness-controller' didn't help me.I
also tried to open the file etc/default/grub and changed the line
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
to
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_backlight=vendor"
Then after update-grub and reboot i found that the brightness slider was completely missing!
Then i re-changed etc/default/grub file to the initial state it was in.
After that i tried to update my kernel to 5.8 but that also didn't help.
What should i do?

NTFS drive showing as unallocated on Win10/Ubuntu dual boot
Hi all!
I wasn't sure where to post this, but hopefully someone will have an idea! I've been digging around the internet for the last couple of hours and can't find any satisfactory solutions.
I have four physical drives with a partition each (not including the boot partition):
Ubuntu 20.04 (EXT4)
Windows 10 (NTFS)
Data 1 (NTFS)
Data 2 (NTFS)
The data drives were formatted to NTFS so that they could be shared between the both operating systems. However, only one of the drives show up on Windows - the other shows as two unallocated partitions.
Here's a screenshot of disk management in Windows - disk 1 is the culprit.
​
The only ideas I have are to either:
attempt some sort of disk recovery via Windows, which will maybe rebuild the partition table.
This scares me a little, as I have 5TB of valuable data that I'm afraid to mess up.
move all of the data off the disk, format it, then copy it back again.
This will involve using a multitude of smaller hard drives, and takes forever to do!
​
Has anyone encountered this before or have any advice? Is the disk recovery option actually dangerous?

I just discovered a new Distro but don't get mad at me.
Winix: Basically I loaded up Windows subsystem for Linux and installed Opensuse and it felt good. Then I remembered a long time ago back when America was sort of normal there once existed Windows shell alternatives. I hit DuckDuckgo and found the shit was still around. So, I loaded Ciro shell for Windows 64bit and it was cool. Then that very minute, it occurred to me,. a long time ago I was bullshitting around with... what was the name of it, BlackBox for windows. I saw it was still being maintained and down that shit, son. Now, don't cuss me out but I came to realize I can now use all my Windows applications such as Abobe premiere and photoshop, along with all my Windows based PC games and so on.
And i took a pause and I ponder, bothering my own mind and I said to myself, "Taokiller", "File explore" must go and replaced that shit with "File Voyager".
So how do you like me now... I'm computing with an altered beast. Hybrid of two different computing worlds, maybe just maybe, a god damned abomination. I can run and create bash noscripts, play with hacking tools, and Nmap, play Steam games, recording on Adobe Audition, plus Protools, and I'm doing it all on one system. No virtual machine shit this might be obscene. Now I do not know if you find any of this shit here as refreshing as I do but I discovered for myself the best damn Windows operating system of all times.
I didn't create any pics because don't have any place as of now to upload but will provide you the links.
