  • As an AMD user i would like to share a list of the problems i’ve had in the past month, which happen to be the only hardware related problems i’ve had on the system:

    • Hibernation suddenly stopped working, destroying my ZFS in the process (Hibernation has since been fixed)
    • amdgpu shat itself (no vulkan devices, no opengl context) (and for some programs fixed itself) (resolved after reboot)
    • Fans stopped following their given fan curve (resolved by fw update)
    • CPU stopped thermal throttling (resolved by microcode update)

    Other than these my system has worked perfectly fine.



  • This is part of Google’s Material 3 Expressive (M3E for short). A lot of apps have taken the reasonable approach of using the the Android design (M3E) to fit into the system (Also Android happens to make your life easier if you use M3E). This design language sucks in some parts. I personally don’t have an issue with the wavy progress bars, but i agree they should’ve added the option to turn it off.

    If you don’t mind all animations being disabled you can get rid of the wiggling by turning on reduced motion.

    Edit: It’s called Remove Animations and is located in the Accesibility settings under the Motion mmenu. It also seems to only disable the movement in the media notification for my music player (Auxio), likely a bug, will report to upstream.



  • There are no lockdown mode restrictions on my system. Kernel is not signed, but i switched to UKIs a couple months ago (hibernation worked fine with these).

    It is worth noting that the failure is hibernating, not resuming. Normally hibernate takes ~1 minute with fans spinning at max speed, but it recently started not finishing and instead being stuck on a black screen for more than 30 minutes without the fans running until i run out of patience (i hibernate before i go to sleep or head out) and force power off the system (power button 10 second press on my system).
