I tried installing the proprietary Nvidia driver on this old MacBook that I am installing Ultramarine Linux (Fedora) on, but it nosedived on a reboot, so I removed it, but now SDDM is showing distorted image on a reboot. Once the desktop loads, everything is normal, but SDDM does this.
@ultramarine I appreciate the role, but I’m afraid that I’ve not been able to wrap my brain around how Discord works, so I don’t use it. I’m more of a traditional web forum kind of guy.
I'd like to take the chance to remind everyone that I don't like managing packages in #terrapkg. I'm not good at package maintenance, I don't want to manage 200 random packages, and I am a programmer, and I don't want to spend time on doing boring things that people without programming knowledge can do.
Packaging takes time, and your help can make me dedicate time on other Ultramarine / Fyra Labs projects that requires programming.
Start contributing to Terra by reading the devdocs here. No prior experience required obviously.
Reminder that if you paid for a copy of Ultramarine Linux, you got scammed. We keep seeing USB and DVD drives with Ultramarine on them popping up on eBay (and now Amazon)
Ultramarine Linux will always be available for free from ultramarine-linux.org, images.fyralabs.com, and FOSSTorrents. Do not pay for a copy of Ultramarine Linux.
What even is your purpose for existing as a distribution when people can more or less do the same on Fedora? Nobara at the very least has its gimmick of being a Fedora-based Linux distribution focused on gaming. I've yet to really hear about any defining qualities which set Ultramarine Linux aside from the rest other than being yet another RHEL derivative.
Just thought of something interesting worth sharing that you could do to distinguish yourselves from Fedora while continuing to provide the quality of life changes that you are known for @ultramarine. You could rebase yourselves on Fedora Rawhide to become a rolling release in a similar vein to OpenSUSE Tumbleweed while providing the stability and ease of use that Ultramarine Linux is known for.
I believe this would be a very cool and meaningful way to set yourselves apart as a standalone project and not just another Linux distribution riding on the coattails of RHEL as Red Hat likes to think of their clones. In this sense, you would be more akin to Manjaro who are doing their own thing independently from Arch Linux despite being based on the latter.
Thought I would provide some tangible solutions to coincide with my constructive criticism from the other day.
Edit: Sorry for the multiple notifications for those tagged. 😫
Red Hat has issued an urgent security advisory for XZ. If you’re using Ultramarine 39, or have upgraded to 40 Alpha, you are safe. If you are using Rawhide please switch to 40 ASAP.
We're moving house! We'll be merging the UItramarine Linux Discord and the Fyra Labs Discord in the coming days. This reduces moderator burden and generally makes things easier to manage. Now contributors don't have to switch between servers, and we can handle support faster.
As we all know, Ultramarine 40 will be coming very soon, including the new XFCE Edition! So, we would like to collect some ideas for the theming and layout from our fellow users :3
If you have any ideas, recommendations, comments for how the new XFCE Edition should look like, let us know in the replies to this post, or with #UltramarineXFCE
If you have recommendations for other editions too, you can always let us know with #UltramarineLinux or by pinging us :p
Hardcase just made the distro hop from Manjaro GNOME to Ultramarine KDE, and it just keeps getting better. Wake from sleep is MUCH faster now, and everything feels more smooth and polished.
For people who don’t want to bother with manually adding repos and changing default settings to make Fedora more user-friendly, Ultramarine Linux is a great drop-in replacement. Definitely give it a try.
The poll is still open! Let us know what you want for our next edition!
Boost for visibility! Even if you don't use Ultramarine we want to hear from you! (maybe we can convince you to give us a try with one of these new editions)
