Who uses Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS?

Ubuntu's namesake is based on an African philosophy which encompasses the interdependence of humans on one another. Nelson Mandela said while talking about Ubuntu, "The question therefore is, are you going to do so in order to enable the community around you, and enable it to improve?"

I finally did something

So my last post on here was about me unable to switch to Linux due to my friends. Well after a bit of a chat they're trying out Linux who would've known. I'm currently using my build of arch with KDE Plasma and couldn't be more happy, let's see if they switch.

Hibernate workaround post 6.8 kernel.

Hello r/linux,

I'm not exactly sure if this is the right subreddit to put this but since it's not specific to any one distro I thought here would be the best place, so please forgive me if I'm wrong.

Anyhow, there seems to be a kernel bug that happened after 6.8 with the intel_hid module if you have an intel based laptop that prevents hibernation from working correctly.

So after HOURS of google searching and digging through forums and such I have found a work around that helped me and I thought I would share it just incase anyone else is having the same nightmare.

If you have an intel based laptop that wakes up immediately or just refuses to sleep after issuing the systemctl hibernate command give this a try.

Create a SystemD service with the following:

Unit
Denoscription=Intel HID module unloading to prevent kernel bug stopping sleep.
Before=sleep.target
StopWhenUnneeded=yes

Service
Type=oneshot
RemainAfterExit=yes
ExecStart=-/usr/bin/rmmod intelhid
ExecStop=-/usr/bin/modprobe intelhid

Install
WantedBy=sleep.target

Then enable the service and reboot then give the hibernate a try again.

This should unload the HID module and hibernate the system and then when you resume it should re-load the HID module.

Hope this is helpful to someone, and if this is not the right place to post it I apologize.

What Linux Distro is "unique"?

So there are countless of linux distros to choose from,but what distros are unique or never used?

I'll start with VanillaOS, almost no one uses it for obvious reasons. It is advanced with apx to change os shell but it makes it very hard for users to even install apps. Its like they're trapped in the system if they have no idea how to configure it.
What's your "unique" distro?

[UPDATE] Qualcomm, fsck you.

Lately, I posted this: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/s/hh6TMP6BCS

Here, I discussed about a Wi-Fi firmware/driver/chipset and how it's plaguing The Linux Experience.

I shifted to KDE Neon and continued having these issues. My wlp1s0 was randomly turning off despite trying to make `wifi.powersave=2` or trying to echo the skip_otp option.

Then I noticed the inxi properly.

```
Network:
Device-1: Qualcomm Atheros QCA9377 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter
vendor: Dell driver: ath10k_pci v: kernel pcie: gen: 1 speed: 2.5 GT/s
lanes: 1 bus-ID: 01:00.0 chip-ID: 168c:0042 class-ID: 0280
IF: wlp1s0 state: up mac: <filter>
IP v4: <filter> type: dynamic noprefixroute scope: global
broadcast: <filter>
IP v6: <filter> type: noprefixroute scope: link
```

Ok... so I have an 802.11ac Wireless adapter. I searched using those keywords, and I found this GLARING GITHUB ISSUE: https://github.com/pop-os/pop/issues/1470

Like, this thing has been plaguing users for 4 YEARS. And if the Wi-Fi doesn't work, then the people who don't wanna delve into firmware, goes back to Windows. I'm not making this up, I have seen in one of the comments of the GitHub Issue itself.

The fault is of Qualcomm's closed-source policy. Even that is fine if the piece of hardware is functional with that closed-source firmware. However, Qualcomm isn't even providing function, but is making everything closed-source. Candela Technologies has released some firmwares of ath10k, but it can only do so much. There still isn't any updated firmware for QCA9377.

Imagine this: because of abandoning closed-source firmware updates, these companies are actually making laptops obsolete, because nobody would have the energy or knowledge to buy a new Wi-Fi chipset. The normal users would just move on from what they might call as their 'obsession' over Linux if they don't get their Wi-Fi working. Worse if that chipset is soldered with the motherboard.

So Qualcomm, fsck you.
