I am becoming more and more blown away by #umbriel (+ #noctalia). 😎

I just discovered that, in addition to #scrolling (my main mode) and #dwindle (à la #hyprland), Umbriel offers a #stacking mode for window management (on a per workspace basis) as well. 🤯

Stacking essentially works exactly like what anyone familiar with a traditional desktop like #gnome would expect.

Without knowing the future, I am especially wondering how artists and engineers will be able to make a living from their work until something like a universal basic income might become a reality.

Because, it seems that earning money from art and from software that humans can use to making art is becoming increasingly difficult in a world that is increasingly flooded with artificially generated (or assisted) software and art. 🤔

I am an incurable #optimist, and at the same time curious to see how all of this unfolds over the coming months.

I second that. As long as you have a reasonably modern distro with PipeWire, you should be good to go. I also use Arch and loved the learning process but it is not necessary. You can choose Mint, Ubuntu, Fedora, CachyOS, etc. And yeah, coming from Live, I would also say that Bitwig would be the closest match. Have a smooth transition and lots of fun! 🥳

2026-09-17T02:27:33Z

While #bitwig runs perfectly on #niri on my studio computer with a 32" 4k display, it hits a (patchable, but ugly) issue on my 16" 4k laptop.

Bitwig appears to handle mouse pointer scaling entirely on its own and seems to ignore the environment variables the WM/DE passes through.

As a result, on my laptop's 2x-scaled 4K 16:10 display, the cursor becomes gigantic and can only be fixed with a somewhat forceful patch script (which I haven't applied yet): https://github.com/MintyDoggo/bitwig-cursor-fix/tree/main

I actually used Shotcut for a while and, in and of itself, I have no complaints about it. It always worked well for me, even though (like Pitivi, for example) it always felt a bit slow to me.

Back then, however, I was looking for a GNOME-native editor, and since there were not any good alternatives, I went back to Resolve. But I kept getting frustrated by how tedious it was and still is to keep it running reliably, at least on Arch.

And then I came across Lightworks.

I'd say PaperWM is about as good as it gets when it comes to scrolling, tiling window management on GNOME.

Today's little #solar #horror #chainreaction story:

1. A #toilet started running while we were away yesterday.
2. As a result, our #waterpump ran continuously.
3. The 1st #battery out of two batteries collapsed.
4. The #inverter kept pulling current.
5. The 2nd battery was hammered.
6. This damaged the inverter's DC power stage and deep discharged and damaged at least one of the batteries.

And I was already frustrated that the Love You More (npub1hz5…w52t) #icecream machine is still broken.

It will be good. 😇

2025-12-18T10:30:04Z

Today, for the first time since I switched to Linux over 5 years ago, my #archlinux Z16 #thinkpad kept freezing after #gdm authentication. 😲

Apparently, because the status of `/run/user/1000` became corrupt. 🤔

1. TTY login
2. `loginctl terminate-user $USER` (cleanup sessions)
3. `systemctl restart systemd-logind` (recreating the directory)
4. `systemctl reboot`
5. Everything was back to normal

Took me an hour to figure out, though. 🫣

It's apparently an upstream bug: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/linux-firmware/-/issues/29

Always a good feeling to know what's actually the problem. 😅

I wonder why people do not want to report the problem upstream, though. I never did so myself. Is it complicated? 🤔 I will have a look later...

It looks like the firmware has been removed from linux-firmware-mediatek.
It goes up to mt7918, but then there's a gap, and it only continues with mt7925. 🤔

Not sure if my issue around not having any Wi-Fi today on my Z16 ThinkPad running #archlinux is related to https://archlinux.org/news/linux-firmware-2025061312fe085f-5-upgrade-requires-manual-intervention/, but my #mediatek mt7921e chipset is not recognized anymore. 🫤

`sudo dmesg | grep mt7921e` reports: ... WM Firmware Version: ____000000)

There are no matching files in `/lib/firmware/mediatek/` even though I just uninstalled and reinstalled `linux-firmware`, reinstalled `linux-firmware-mediatek` (to be sure), and rebuilt all kernels with `mkinitcpio -P`. 🤔

Weird. I changed cables and ports. It doesn't seem to be an issue with the USB devices themselves. My Avalon Bassline USB MIDI, which has worked fine for years, is failing now as well. The hub seems to be OK too, since keyboard and mouse work flawlessly. 🤔
It looks like Bitwig Studio causes this. Because, as long as it is closed, dmseg and journalctl stay quiet.
Will have a closer look another day. 😇

2025-09-13T08:44:07Z

Out of the blue, my #akaipro MPK261 #midi keyboard started causing problems with #bitwigstudio 5.3.13.
As long as BWS isn't running, it works fine (via an external, powered USB hub).

As soon as BWS is running, the controller loses power from time to time. BWS then reports:

MIDI Input Error:
MPK261 Port A: Error Polling MIDI Input: Success

I tried using both the official Controller Script and without a script at all. I tried direct connection to the PC as well. 🤔

Dear #linuxaudio #pipewire users. I'm not sure if any of you have bothered to change the device nicknames with #wireplumber on your systems to tidy things up (see e.g. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/WirePlumber).
You can also use a GUI application called "Simple Wireplumber GUI" to do so. See: https://github.com/dyegoaurelio/simple-wireplumber-gui
