#681462 — How quickly a bug gets fixed...

FromAndrzej Matuch <andrzej@matu.ch>

SubjectHow quickly a bug gets fixed...
Message-ID<vqTbP.82759$DYF8.19890@fx14.iad>
After installing Fedora 41 yesterday, I noticed a bug where unplugging 
my laptop would result in the screen's brightness going to 0%. You 
couldn't increase the brightness at all and had to plug it back in to 
see what you were doing. People in Fedora's own forums mentioned that 
the quickest resolution was to change the power plan to Performance 
which was obviously not ideal if preserving power was the objective.

Anyways, I got an update today. It's already fixed.

In summary: ASUS has yet to fix an fTPM bug with AMD processors 
discovered in 2021 yet Fedora fixes an annoyance within a few days (I 
experienced it yesterday but it was reported to the developers a few 
days earlier).

I haven't moved to 41 but the KDE spin of 40 was a little rocky when it 
rolled out but the issues were fixed very rapidly. I think most were from 
the KDE/Wayland side.

I'm actually trying hard to find bugs in Fedora 41. I'm surprised that 
it works as well as it does. The one issue I did come up with is that 
the machine doesn't stick to Hybrid mode with NVIDIA, and reverts to 
Integrated on its own. When it does that, I am incapable of running my 
external monitor through a USB-C hub. I can either plug it directly to 
an HDMI port or log in, set it to Hybrid, log out, log in and try again. 
It's not a big issue though.

The Fedora box goes through a 4 channel KVM with HDMI so no problem for 
me. The first couple of weeks Firefox tended to crash or sometimes there 
wouldn't be a desktop but that was fixed. I didn't have a problem but QGIS 
warned some dialogs might not render correctly but I think the Wayland 
tweaks took care of that.

I just updated to 41 yesterday, but I haven't done much with the Fedora 
laptop yet.

It's one of the wokest distros of all, with a code of conduct, DEI 
galore, and a "Week of Diversity".

That's a hard pass for me.

It's the one asus-linux.org provides a guide for and so far, everything 
works as it should. I have no idea if there even is a non-woke Linux 
distribution anymore.

You're getting lectured from someone who touts Woke Microsoft. But you're 
right, there really isn't much in the IT industry that isn't Woke anymore... 
but it's starting to turn around (I think).

Microsoft's DEI page...

Lunduke released a video yesterday confirming that Microsoft is doubling 
down on its diversity efforts and will continue to help employees 
transition their three-year-olds to a different gender. It looks like 
the corporation hasn't yet been cured of its mind virus. Of course, with 
a guy like Bill Gates around, there is probably no chance that it will 
happen.

Still, if there's a KDE distribution out there which can proudly say 
that it is non-woke, I'll look into it.

There are.  11 of the the Top 25 on distrowatch I looked at a few months 
ago had no code of conduct or DEI statement on their website (doing a 
cursory search)

MX Linux
Mint
EndeavourOS
Pop!_OS
Zorin
CachyOS (tho the founder specified he/him pronouns)
Garuda
Sparky
Tuxedo
Kali
EasyOS

I have Kali running in WSL. I like it but it's Debian with pentest tools 
conveniently packaged. Most of the rest are Debian based, or one step 
removed Ubuntu. EndeavourOS is Arch based and the Arch wiki claims 
politics aren't involved only technical merits. I'm not sure about EasyOS.

Does the one drop rule apply to Linux distros?

I already like Mint quite a bit, admittedly. Nevertheless, I'm already 
comfortable in Fedora and don't feel like hopping over for the time 
being. All my original concerns with using Linux are also addressed in 
this distribution, and the experience is no worse than using Windows. In 
fact, it's superior as a result of the machine's greater responsiveness. 
I'm also a fan of KDE and Fedora's spin on it is excellent.

It's not what needs to be said.  It's what needs to NOT be said.  Nobody 
needs an explicit "code of conduct" to guide their behavior (or face 
increasing levels of penalties as judged by The Council...ooohhh!!!). 
And nobody needs to be told a computer OS website and conference events 
are "welcoming nurturing safe spaces for everyone".

Fedora DEI page:
"Our key focuses are to engage, empower, and celebrate the contributions 
of women, LGBT+, BIPOC, and people with disabilities in Free and Open 
Source projects and communities."

gag.  Contributions by females, queers, jigs and disabled people have 
always been welcomed in software... on the technical merits of the 
contributions.

But overwhelmingly, straight White males have created the world's 
computer technology, and apparently that FACT needs to be "corrected" by 
shoving blue-haired dykes in our faces.  Pathetically, the straight 
White males that started these distros and technologies are social 
weaklings, and are allowing DEI and woke sickness to be plastered all 
over their distros.

I made an account on the Fedora page and I was given the option to 
choose pronouns to be referred by. It was disheartening but it was 
clearly an option.

The last time I filled out something at the doctor's office they had a crap 
form like that also.

I can't imagine being such a spoiled brat that you would get offended 
that the doctor didn't address what is an obvious guy as "miss" during 
the check-up you've waited hours for. The fact that people are going 
along with this is bothering me immensely. Mostly, it is because when 
the authorities come along and tell us that we won't be able to buy and 
sell unless we accept a chip in our foreheads or hands and renounce 
Christ, few if any will resist. They didn't resist the vaccine, they 
didn't resist the mask, they didn't resist the pronoun garbage; why 
would they resist the Mark?

I skipped the vaccine and had my useless, Chinese made, N0 muzzle to get 
me into CostCo, but how do you 'resist' the pronoun garbage?

What amuses me is the 'White non-Hispanic' category. Are they trying to 
imply Hispanics aren't white?

By refusing to refer to a man who claims to be a woman as "she", for
example.  Or by refusing to tell people my pronouns, when it couldn't
be more obvious.  I'm just glad that it's never come up in my life,
lest I be accused of a "hate crime".

Are they white?  I don't consider them to be.

I'm trying to figure why it even matters. So they can claim two checkmarks 
in the ethnicity list, like Kamala's Indian and black (and white)?

Why not "white, non-Italian" or "white, non-Scandinavian," or...?
