KDE's New Distro: Btrfs-Based, Immutable Linux OS, with Flatpak and Snap in c/[email protected]

Makes sense that it includes snap given that KDE officially supports their apps packaged as snaps, unlike Gnome.

If I recall correctly, aren’t they going for an Arch base? I assume they’re going to be enabling AppArmor so that the snap sandboxing is mostly working, except for the patches Canonical have failed to upstream so far.

If they’re not including the proprietary Nvidia driver, they’re definitely not including ZFS.

Some questions about the new base M4 Mac Mini and connecting displays (lemmy.world)

I have two 1440p 170Hz monitors that I want to use with the new Mac Mini, but I'm a bit concerned whether they can reach their full potential. Apple's spec page says

Up to two displays: One display with up to 5K resolution at 60Hz over Thunderbolt and one display with up to 8K resolution at 60Hz or 4K resolution at 240Hz over Thunderbolt or HDMI

Doing some math, it seems like it should be supported. 5K at 60Hz should be equivalent bandwidth wise as 1440p at 240Hz. They say that can be paired with an 8K display at 60Hz, and 1440p at 170Hz should be lower bandwidth than that. But I would like to hear from others who have first hand experience.

Another question I have is if it's possible to get a Thunderbolt 4 hub that has two HDMI 2.1 ports or DisplayPort 1.4 ports and use that. Based on some Amazon listing warnings, it seems that MacOS only lets you use one of those ports to extend your display, the other would be just for mirroring. Though this shouldn't be the end of the world since the the Mac Mini has HDMI 2.1, I would just need to get a thunderbolt to HDMI 2.1 cable for my second monitor.

I would also appreciate Thunderbolt to HDMI 2.1 cable recommendations that are known to work at high refresh rates. Some Amazon reviews report the cables maxing at at 4k 60Hz (and not mentioning anything about 1440p max Hz).

Apple’s first Mac mini redesign in 14 years looks like a big aluminum Apple TV in c/[email protected]

I'm tempted by this too (or maybe the upcoming MacBook Air). I'm just worried that I'm not going to like MacOS. I'm pretty happy with Linux, like FOSS, but Apple just has the best hardware at the moment.

Nope, both on the same Wifi network. Can't think of why it would be showing differently. Not even force refreshing the page did anything. But I just checked again and now it's showing the right prices.

Huh

It shows up as $599 on my iPhone, but not desktop.

Lowest I’m seeing from the preorder screen is $799.

$200 base price increase, ouch.

Edit: apparently it starts at $599, but for some reason Apple is showing me $799 for the base model.

Fair enough. It certainly benefits Apple if people with full photo libraries instead move those to iCloud with costly subscriptions.

Honestly doesn't bother me that much, especially on a desktop. I have a large external hard drive for mass storage and an USB dongle that connects to an NVME drive.

Right now I'm using a desktop with Linux on it, but I've been debating replacing my desktop with a Mac (maybe MacBook or Mac Mini). I'd be fine with the small storage, what was really concerning me was the 8GB starting RAM and $200 upgrade to 16GB.

Is anyone experiencing issues of flowing water becoming source blocks? (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

These source water blocks all came from some flowing water from the top of the staircase.

I'm playing the Fabulously Optimized modpack (version 6.4.0-alpha.2).

Edit: this bug is even weirder than I thought. The water flow and source blocks change based on where I am. In the following video, as I go down the stairs, the water spreads. I make a hole to breathe, and as I go away, the hole gets filled in. When I go back to the hole, the source blocks expand and I need to dig up to breathe. https://youtu.be/PLsbvyL0rH4

Edit 2: annoyingly, I wasn't able to reproduce this issue in a new world in 1.21.3 Vanilla or Fabulously Optimized.

Thankfully, the base model now has 16GB of RAM.
