  • I have a 6700XT and was using Debian Testing (it was trixie), it was super stable, then it became to be extremely unstable around april 2025. I think it was a mix a buggy mesa update and a buggy kernel update. It was so awful that I had to remove Debian :( (multiple full freeze a day). I went full Gentoo and it was super stable. I tried trixie again some days ago and it was still extremely unstable, unfortunately… (only on this machine, the others work fine). Mesa 25.3 has fixed a “turn page flip error” on these cards, but not everything is smooth.




  • Hey, thank you for this! I’ll test it later. I was planning to eventually do the same thing (and in rust too).

    Thus said, something that I always find impractical with simple todo lists, is that you cannot use it with subtasks. For example, if I want to manage a large project with it, I would need to create a task “Refactor this worker”, and add subtasks “Delete old function”, “Handle the new property”, etc.

    I cannot flatten the subtasks in the list because their names wouldn’t be explicit, and making their names explicit would make it a burden to read, and it would make it difficult to follow the main task progress. How do you handle such things with your software?


  • I had tried in the past and optimized the hell out of it, but I found that’s a really slow software. I appreciate the features, but it looks like they have made a really bad foundation, and built some nice features upon it. Seafile is WAY better performance wise! (but less features). Depending on your needs, the best middleground I’ve found is syncthing between my PC and sftpgo to expose webdav / sftp. There is no lighter setup than that.




  • I think you’ve tried a distribution for advanced users… Something like Debian would not have triggered that! Also note that regarding dual boot, most of the time, Microsoft can be in cause (if you’re not using UEFI, if you have secure boot, and others).




  • Is it? I’ve just tried and it doesn’t:

  • You have to use two swaps if you already use one swap, because one will be used when the system is on, but the second will be used to set the RAM content + the 1st content into SWAP (if any), otherwise, it would fail.

    Then, find the hibernation swap uuid:

    sudo swapon --show
    lsblk -o name,uuid
    

    Then

    # /etc/default/grub
    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="resume=UUID=xxxx"
    
    #/etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume
    resume=UUID=xxxx
    
    # bash
    sudo update-grub
    sudo update-initramfs -k all -u
    
    # to hibernate on lid switch
    # /etc/systemd/logind.conf
    HandleLidSwitch=hibernate
    

    Then reboot :)

    Note: this method works wonderfully, I use it personally. Just be aware that the hibernation swap content is not encrypted, so you’re vulnerable if your laptop is stolen while hibernated.



  • This! Debian with Gnome or others is the answer. Take an afternoon to make it yours, then forget it. You can use backported kernels on Debian, to support newer hardware. Try this or upgrade to Debian 13 right now by changing the sourcefile to trixie instead of bookworm. Note : if you use Gnome, let gnome-software handle the updates for you (there’s an equivalent for kde). If you use others, configure unattented-upgrades for automatic updates.



  • For reference, I have a 6700XT on a 4k videoprojector, and it’s fluid for 4k video and games (but it’s a gaming card). The drivers are excellent and the card is stable. Thus said, I read some web videos through mpv, which is more optimized. On Youtube 4k, it works as well. I’ve tried 8k downsized and it was bit laggy, so I don’t think a 6400 is enough for 8k video. I also had to buy a HDMI cable with more throughput! Videos aside, I think it’s okay for the display only (texts and images), but wait for another reviewer because the 6400 is less powerful, so I can’t confirm. However, if it works on Windows, it will work on Linux.
