  • It’s especially frustrating because I don’t think I’ve seen a single app store on a distro prominently show when the last update was for a flatpak app. Even flatpaks own website requires scrolling all the way down to the bottom of an app to see that info.

    Plus the app store interfaces/apps are terribly slow and bloated, gnome software will sit in the background doing nothing useful and consume 700MB+ of RAM, searching for an app takes forever, and it will lock up sometimes while installing so you can’t continue browsing/searching for more apps. I’ve tried other stores and they all share the same issues for the most part.

    Overall the whole situation is just pretty bad and frustrating. I use the terminal for flatpak updates and such, but it’s not any good for finding new apps.






  • Immich uses user/YYYY/MM folders on my setup, and I exclude any thumbnail directories from the backup too. So not many dirs/files to check for the backup software and it’s very quick.

    You don’t need to shut it down, pg_dump works fine while it’s like if you want to make sure it’s a good database backup. The files side of things are fine either way.






  • No idea if this applies to a lot of laptops, but on my HP with an i5-8350U every Linux distro I’ve tried seems to come configured using s2idle instead of deep sleep, and battery will drain very quickly even in ‘sleep’ mode.

    If running cat /sys/power/mem_sleep returns “[s2idle] deep” then you can add mem_sleep_default=deep to your kernel args and it will actually go to sleep properly.

    On Fedora this was sudo grubby --update-kernel=ALL --args="mem_sleep_default=deep" but it varies by distro.

    Why it seems like every distro I’ve used has this set incorrectly I do not know, it’s baffling.
