Ah sorry lemmy code sanitation is changing it. I added a note below it.

Wayland KDE screens wake from sleep (lemmy.sdf.org)

Hey everyone

Not sure if this is the right place to ask. I have been experiencing this issue for a while now. I'm convinced it's something to do with my monitor setup. When I use a Wayland session my monitors refuse to sleep! On X11 they sleep as expected when the screen is locked. On Wayland they go to sleep, flash the "entering power save" message and then turn back on. Here is my current and previous setups that both experienced the exact same issue.

Current:

OS: Arch Linux x86_64 
Host: B550M Steel Legend 
Kernel: 6.4.10-arch1-1 
DE: Plasma 5.27.7 
WM: kwin 
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X (12) @ 3.700GHz 
GPU: AMD ATI Radeon RX 7900 XT/7900 XTX 
Memory: 4705MiB / 32018MiB

Previous 2 configurations:

DE: GNOME 43-44
WM: Mutter
GPU: RTX 3080
(everything else is the same except kernel) 

DE: GNOME 41-43
WM: Mutter
GPU: GTX 1080ti
(everything else is the same except kernel)

I've tried running this command I found on stack overflow:

/bin/sleep 1 && /bin/dbus-send --session --dest=org.kde.kglobalaccel /component/org_kde_powerdevil org.kde.kglobalaccel.Component.invokeShortcut string:'Turn Off Screen'

Note: && should be && but lemmy is sanitizing it and won't let me put ampersands in code blocks

but no luck. Any ideas on how to fix this?

My company is starting to do this as well. They say it’s to “build culture in market”. Really they just want to force you to interact with your coworkers to make things feel less transactional and to keep tabs on people

Today i installed arch linux for the first time in c/programmerhumor@lemmy.ml

Somehow mkinitcpio broke my initramfs the other day when I installed the latest microcode updates. Took me like an hour to debug the issue and boot from the fallback 😑. That’s the first time I’ve had an issue like that though. I’ve been using arch for a few years now.

Have you tried the Pop Shell gnome extension? It allows you to toggle i3wm like window tiling. It’s also similar to Rectangle on macOS

Why use this over Spotify? I don’t actually own music so is there any advantage for me?

Which widgets are must haves? (lemmy.sdf.org)
 

Hey all! Just switched from gnome to KDE and feeling a bit overwhelmed by the amount of widgets and customization available. Which widgets are your favorite that I should add to my system?

Have you ever tried using the terminal exclusively for your day-to-day usage for any amount of time? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

I don't think I could ever give up GUI completely. I would not be able to work without GUI tools for coding, making presentations, editing documents, etc. I don't want to memorize terminal commands for things that are easier / quicker to get done with a GUI. Also, what about gaming?
