Implementing Bluetooth on embedded Linux: Open source BlueZ vs proprietary stacks
Open source BlueZ offers a host of benefits over its proprietary counterparts, making it a worthwhile investment.
Yes, RAM Usage Does Matter
In recent years, I've noticed opposing opinions regarding RAM usage in various DEs and WMs, with the general overall consensus being that the extra RAM use reported in your system monitor app of choice usually doesn't matter because "unused RAM is wasted RAM". I was personally indifferent towards that discourse until this past week, which has firmly put me in the camp that strongly believes that more free RAM is good, and using a DE or WM that prioritizes low RAM usage is more beneficial than I used to think.
For context, I work from home and typically need to have multiple browsers with inefficient apps like Teams and various poorly coded company portals open throughout the day. My workflow was recently updated to necessitate the occasional use of a minimal Windows 10/11 environment via Virtualbox. I have always had a preference for lighter DEs, so most of my time on Linux has been spent using either Gnome 2 or XFCE. With the recent updates to my workflow, I had started to notice instances of random freezes and reboots - usually around the heaviest parts of my workday. Upon closer inspection, I realized I was routinely hitting my RAM ceiling around the time of these freezes/reboots, so I started making plans to bump my laptop up from the current 16GB to either 24 or 32GB.
It just so happened that I was having some issues with my multi-monitor setup after recently switching from my old faithful T430 to my current T480, so I swapped to MATE temporarily, which fixed the issue. That led me down a rabbit hole of quickly testing a few setups - including an old autorandr setup I had configured during a past fling with Openbox. I eventually realized that the culprit was XFCE, so I ended up swapping to Openbox with autorandr, which solved that problem. After 2 weeks of working with Openbox, I realized that the lack of native window snapping was starting to become an issue for me, so I dusted off an old DWM setup I had from about a year or 2 ago, made a few changes to the config to better suit my new workflow, and merrily switched back to my tiling WM setup without missing a beat.
With all that preamble, we arrive at the start of this week into my second week back on DWM, when I suddenly realized that my laptop had not frozen or rebooted randomly even a single time since I switched to Openbox. Upon closer inspection, I noted that Openbox and DWM both used almost 200MB less RAM than at startup my XFCE setup with all the same autostarted functionality, and were sometimes using over 1GB less of RAM under maximum load. This realization led me to delay my RAM purchase and just continue to observe my system behavior for a while just to confirm my new bias.
In summary, I'm still gonna upgrade my RAM (and storage) because big number go brrrrrr, but I now have a new appreciation for setups focused on minimizing background RAM and CPU usage to allow me to actually have those resources available for using my apps/programs.

Why don't we see Windows apps packaged with Flatpaks using Wine?
I thought I would see Wine apps pre-packaged as Flatpaks and even available in Flathub. Since those apps sometimes require a lot of configuration to setup correctly, I used to believe Flatpaks would help pre-configure apps so they would become basically download and play.
But we didn't see that. Why? Are there any technical reasons why Flatpaks can't package Windows apps? Any legal reasons?

Switching from Windows to Linux for Gaming – Need advice (config linked)
Hello everyone,
I'm getting a new gaming PC soon, which you can see the full configuration here . For personal reasons (particularly related to current American politics), I'm considering switching from Windows to Linux. I have a good technical background, but I'm still quite unfamiliar with Linux distributions. So I'd like your advice on how to make this transition a success.
I'm particularly interested in Endeavour OS , especially because of its Arch base and more user-friendly appearance. My main goal is to run my games, which I mostly buy on GOG and Steam via European key resellers. If you've already experimented with Proton , Wine or Lutris , I'd be happy to hear your feedback on compatibility and performance.
Also, I have a Steam Deck and want to set up local remote play from this new PC. If you have any tips or recommendations (network or software) to make streaming smooth, I'm all ears.
On the office side, I'm looking at LibreOffice to replace Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint. Are there other suites that you find more complete or easier to use? And for PDF file management or editing , what are your favorite solutions on Linux?
Finally, I plan to experiment with a local LLM model of about 9B to 13B parameters. Do you think this is feasible on my PC? I also want to be able to access it remotely (from a laptop, for example). Any information on the necessary configuration, or sharing of experience, would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you all in advance for your advice and feedback. I am open to any comments that could help me approach this migration in the best conditions!

Why I Returned to Xorg After Months on Wayland
For the past 6 to 7 months, I gave Wayland a real shot. It was the longest I’ve ever stuck with it, and honestly, it was way more usable than my previous attempts. But over time, small issues piled up, leading me back to Xorg.
A major frustration was Crusader, my favorite file manager, which just doesn’t work well on Wayland. I tried alternatives like Thunar and Nemo, but nothing quite replaces Crusader for me. Sure, that’s an application issue more than Wayland’s fault, but at the end of the day, I need my setup to just work.
OBS was another pain point. Window capture would randomly break due to portal issues. Restarting the portal or switching to a different one sometimes helped, but why should I have to fight my system to do basic things?
I also realized that Wayland’s window manager scene is lacking. Hyperland is the main option, but it’s controlled by one dev, and that worries me. There’s no real ecosystem of diverse, well-polished window managers like we have on Xorg with i3, dwm, qtile, etc. Until that changes, I don’t see myself sticking with Wayland for long.
Back on Xorg, my system just works. Yes, screen tearing is a thing, but vsync with Picom fixes that easily. Setting up my multi-monitor layout was smooth, and overall, the experience has been flawless. Xorg might be “dying,” but from a user perspective, it’s still rock solid.
I’ll keep an eye on Wayland, and I’m sure I’ll switch back at some point to test things again. But for now? Xorg still delivers the best experience for my workflow. Curious to hear from others anyone else bounced between Wayland and Xorg? What made you stick with one over the other?
Distro: openSUSE Tumbleweed; Plasma desktop
PS. Xorg isn’t prone to screen tear/fractional scaling :”)

Thoughts on Nvidia benchmarks on various OS?
I'm not trying to be Phoronix, but every now and then I like to take some benchmarks to get a feel for the various OSes I have installed on my laptop.
Using Superposition, I ran tests on my four laptop operating systems (3 times).
Fedora 41 is my daily driver, so I guess I'm glad it did the best out of the Linux options. I imagine Windows scored highest because Nvidia puts extra effort into that OS. I'm kinda surprised Fedora 42 beta did so poorly, though I have to remember it's in beta.
What are your thoughts?

New Release: Mac Storage Manager – Cross-Platform (macOS & Linux)!
https://preview.redd.it/lzpmst1d7sle1.png?width=1286&format=png&auto=webp&s=7b174ea7c3908e60d1a1c41a82f7cfa3dfad219f
Hello everyone,
I'm excited to announce the release of Mac Storage Manager v2.0.0, a major update that transforms this popular disk space management tool into a truly cross-platform solution. Originally built for macOS, this new version now supports Linux, making it a versatile choice for users on both systems.
# What’s New in v2.0.0?
* Cross-Platform Support
* On macOS, the noscript continues to scan for .app bundles in /Applications and \~/Applications.
* On Linux, it now scans for .desktop files in /usr/share/applications and \~/.local/share/applications — a key step to manage applications on Linux systems!
* Improved User Experience
* Updated whiptail dialogs and progress bars for a smoother interactive deletion process.
* Enhanced error handling and logging, with clearer log outputs in application\_size\_checker.log for better troubleshooting.
* Refined Deletion Workflow
* The noscript now offers a refined process for deleting both main application files and associated files, such as configuration, cache, and logs, with step-by-step confirmation prompts.
# Why Use Mac Storage Manager?
* Free Up Disk Space Safely: Identify and remove large applications along with their supporting files.
* Interactive and Secure: The noscript uses graphical dialogs (via whiptail) to guide you through the deletion process, ensuring you review what gets deleted.
* Cross-Platform Versatility: Whether you’re on macOS or Linux, you now have one tool to manage disk space effectively.
# Get Started
Check out the repository for full instructions and details: [https://github.com/NarekMosisian/mac-storage-manager](https://github.com/NarekMosisian/mac-storage-manager)
I’d love to hear your feedback and see how this tool helps you manage your system’s storage. Happy cleaning!

I'm curious if this is just me being set in my ways. I have been a Linux user since the 90s. I started with DOS and Win 3.1. I tried Win 95 for a bit and then chatted on irc with some friends who suggested Linux and I haven't really looked back.
That being said, i'm no stranger to windows either. I have to use it with work. I work with a "version" of FreeBSD on specific hardware, but I need to use Windows for everything else.
However, this past week I've tried to run Windows on my home PC. I wanted to mod some games I really enjoy and this is much easier on Windows. However, what I've learned this past week is that, i'd much rather not play those games and mod them, and just go back to Linux.
is this just me just not willing to change? I'm wondering if I like Linux because it's what I'm use to.
I know this is funny to post to a Linux subreddit, but there has got to be more people like me out there that is more comfortable and familiar with Linux than Windows right?

I know this is funny to post to a Linux subreddit, but there has got to be more people like me out there that is more comfortable and familiar with Linux than Windows right?

Would you recommend the Finnish Jolla Linux phone?
Hi all,
I'm thinking about switching from Android to a Linux mobile OS. I've just found out there is a Finnish company that does that, a Linux OS phone, which also provides support to run sandboxed Android apps.
Would you recommend this, or would you recommend something else?

Patches were posted today for the Linux kernel implementing new drivers for web camera image signal processing (ISP) for supporting new, unspecified AMD Ryzen laptops.
A lot of movement into Linux
I’ve noticed a lot of people moving in to Linux just past few weeks. What’s it all about? Why suddenly now? Is this a new hype or a TikTok trend?
I’m a Linux user myself and it’s fun to see the standards of people changing.
I’m just curious where this new movement comes from and what it means.
I guess it kinda has to do with Microsoft’s bloatware but the type of new users seems to be like a moving trend.
