    RegataOS?

    I run tumbleweed on my one desktop to my complete satisfaction. Since yesterday I have been running RegataOS on my second desktop which is based on openSUSE leap, does anyone have experience with RegataOS?

    Best Linux distro optimized for heavy loads, ram and cpu? Is Open Suse?

    I have an 8th generation i7 with 16 gb of ram. I'm using Linux Mint, but it doesn't seem to handle high loads well, in fact as soon as I start Android Studio or Unity (even just as soon as I start them) the temperature of the PC, CPU and RAM increases. I know it's normal in this case, but in my case the CPU and RAM increase too much in 3 or 4 seconds and the fan starts (clean fan and changed thermal paste).

    For example the cpu goes up to 70%-80% and I don't think it's normal.

    So I'm opting to change Linux distribution and use a lighter one that is optimized for heavy loads. In your opinion, for my case, which is better between:

    1. Ubuntu Gnome, but with XANMOD kernel

    2. Kubuntu (being KDE), but with XANMOD kernel

    3. Fedora KDE

    4. OpenSuse Tumbleweed (or Leap?)

    5. Manjaro KDE

    6. Other

    I'm interested in the ones mentioned above in particular.

    P.S: I specify that I need it for the PC to use daily for work and I need stability. Also I don't want to waste too much time in configurations, or in any case I want to spend as little time as possible configuring

    Fresh TW install 20241031 screenlocker crashing every time

    Any solution for crashing KDE screenlocker? That's really annoying to have to switch to the text console every time to unlock, after waiting for 10~15 second for the crash detection to kick in.

    Will AEON ever allow dual boot

    Looking at the best version for my use case. I mainly use my laptop for work and a little bit of gaming (nothing too crazy as I have an AMD 6800u laptop so it is mostly games that are a bit older). As I am getting older, I have started to really dislike tinkering with my OS (not really true, still like it, but just don't have the time anymore). As such AEON seems like an amazing version.

    However, I need a dual boot, given that some of my programmes don't work on linux (I need to download them from my employer, and the software to do that is windows only and cannot work with wine due to company security regulations). At the moment AEON does not allow dual boot. Will that ever be possible?

    Failing AEON, I may have to choose between Slowroll and LEAP. Given that I hate fresh installs and like the idea of a more rolling system, I am tempted to choose for Slowroll. However, wondering if it that is stable enough for a main driver? Any thoughts?

    “Boot from MBR does not work together with Btrfs filesystem and GPT disk label without bios_grub partition”

    I got this message when I tried to install opensuse tumbleweed with grub2 and not grub2 efi. I have uefi, but when i tried to install previously, it went to a grub rescue screen after rebooting saying

    Grub - Error. File “normal.mod” not found.

    I read a post online saying that means you need to install with grub2 instead of grub2 efi, but i have uefi. Help?

    akonadi_migration_agent - In progress (33%) forever in the task

    Hi guys, since several months back I had this akonadi migration agent appearing in the taskbar and it kept saying "in progress (33%)" and it doesnt seem to do anything.

    https://preview.redd.it/h04kvuktvdyd1.png?width=403&format=png&auto=webp&s=c36d5a2b547a83cc73dfec9c9ec9a471822aa24d

    I googled how to kill it - but it just come back up again.

    How do I stop it from running? It appears is required for kmail but I wasnt using kmail.

    Thanks

    virt-manager/QEMU/KVM GPU pass through works, but after guest shutdown , host freezes. How to fix this?

    Hello All,

    I successfully setup Windows 10 VM which works great. I am able to pass my Arc A770 and use monitor connected to GPU directly.

    The only problem I have is my host OS, opensuse tw freezes when guest shutdown.

    - I tried force killing guest os as well to see if it works but no luck.

    My system:

    - i5-13600k

    - Internal GPU UHD 770 - I use for the host machine, no complain.

    - dGPU - Arc A770 - I pass it to VM.

    I am not sure what is causing this issue. I suspect when guest dies and host gets this GPU back it tries to use Intel GPU driver instead of vfio driver. Which may cause trouble as now I have two monitors where both are connected to internal GPU and one is also connected to dGPU.

    I have noticed in the past when I have monitors connected to both internal and dgpu ( no VM or GPU isolation, host using both monitors) , it creates different issues including freezing.

    Has anybody faced this problem before? Anyone knows how to fix it or what can be cause of this issue?

    Thank you

    Neofetch replaced by meme version

    Uhhhh so in the latest update zypper removed neofetch and replaced it with a program called "neowofetch" instead, is this the actual replacement for neofetch or just a prank by someone with access to the repo? It works pretty much the same and isn't malicious, as far as i can tell the only difference is it supports some meme distros like AmogOS or uwuntu but still it seems like someone accidentally pushed the wrong github fork or something

    Strange behaviour of SDDM after latest update

    Hello there. I'm using OpenSuse Tumbleweed with KDE Plasma, and in the latest update SDDM got a strange behaviour. I use a laptop with closed lid and attached to an external monitor, normally it let me log in from the external monitor with no issues but in the latest update the login panel only has the button "others" (instead of showing the rest of the options) and when attempting to log in the password bar gets gray and nothing happens. I have to open the lid of the computer to login and from there the behaviour is normal.
    What could be happening here and how to solve it?

    No Sound on Host from QEMU/KVM Guests

    After a Tumbleweed zypper dup this morning none of my VMs are able to play sound back to my host machine. Sound isn't exactly mission-critical, for me, so I won't be rolling back. I did note there were quite a few updates to QEMU, including qemu-audio-spice-9.1.1-1.1.x86_64, and after some searching I also found this on QEMUs GitLab: [Regression] v9.1.1: hw/audio/hda audio output stream closes (SPICE).

    Login page goes black after install on VM

    Hello all! I loaded up Leap 15.6 on VMware Workstation and aside from taking 30 mins to install, even though the install was successful, the screen always goes black right when it gets to the login screen. I don’t get this issue on my PC with an AMD video card but I do get it on my PC that has Nvidia. I updated my graphics drivers on the windows side but still no luck. If anybody can point me in the right direction that would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Microsoft Defender Scheduled Tasks

    Hi, I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction as I'm unfamiliar with Suse and Linux in general.

    I've recently installed Defender for Endpoint on a Suse 15.6 server, which went well. But I am struggling to get the cronjob working using the default editor through terminal following the Microsoft documentation:

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/defender-endpoint/linux-schedule-scan-mde

    The image is a screenshot ofthe scan and update jobs setup per recommendation, but they don't look to ever run or generate any logs files.

    Is there something I'm missing, or a better way to do this? I've ready through the Suse documentation regarding cron but hasn't helped me see what's going wrong.

    Thanks!

    Why is openSUSE the only Linux community who puts rainbows on their reddit banner?

    It's not pride month guys. What's this about?

    Each distro is welcoming. We are here for the technical parts. What does the rainbow has to do with openSUSE? Why do you feel like you need to show this permanently?

    'warning: the compiler differs from the one used to build the kernel'

    Info: Tumbleweed | x86_64 Linux 6.11.3-1-default | Wayland | Laptop [Lenovo 7 16ACHg6] | GPU: GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile [GA104M] | Ryzen 7 5800H with Radeon Graphics

    Nvidia is being difficult. I really wished it was as easy as it was on my Fedora system since all it took was a dnf downgrade. As a person that does not know much about these errors, I will need some assistance. On my last post here, it was about a problem regarding 'nvidia.ko' not being found. I didn't know exactly what that meant, but looking at my Fedora build with the latest Nvidia driver working just fine, I assumed it was something wrong with my kernel version, so I downgraded from 6.11.5 to 6.11.3-1-default. And I finally get a different error message when trying to install the Nvidia driver the hard way! Now, I just need to decipher it... Any help would be much appreciated!
