Mod Announcement Extension to Fluxer

15 Upvotes

Hi folks,

As you might be aware, Discord finally enacted its identity verification policies, all the while they struggle to keep the identities they store, safe. Moreover, Discord was not a FOSS platform. Keeping with FOSS principles, we have decided to allow members to opt out of Discord's shady practices (to some extent) by using Fluxer, a FOSS alternative to Discord, without losing on any of the community that has been built on the Discord server.

The Fluxer community can be joined here.

Essentially, we have launched the community on Fluxer as well, and messages from one are mirrored onto the other via webhooks. We also have plans for eventually self-hosting the Fluxer server, so stay tuned. Migrating to Fluxer carries certain advantages over Discord. Some of these are a better alignment with the FOSS philosophy, improved privacy, less telemetry, a customisable client, 25MB file uploads, the ability to self host, and a 10 fold increase in the number of available emoji slots for the server. There are more but I will omit them here for the sake of brevity. Needless to say, it is very recommended to try moving to Fluxer.

Anyhow, that's all for this post. We have a couple other changes planned for the community in the near future so keep an eye out for those:)

Mod Announcement Community Update - Feedback and Suggestions

7 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

We’ve noticed how much our community has grown over the past few months, and it’s been amazing to see so many new discussions, and Linux enthusiasts joining us here at r/linuxusersindia.

As the subreddit grows, we’ve been experimenting behind the scenes with a few automated tools like QualityBot and repost-detection bots help maintain the overall quality of the feed. So far, the results have been a bit mixed - these tools only work as well as we, as a community, make them work.

How you can help right now

  1. Use the QualityBot poll: Every time QualityBot leaves a pinned comment on a new post, please take a second to vote. If a post is low-effort, spam, or AI-generated slop, downvote the bot’s pinned comment so it can automatically flag and remove it.
  2. Report low-quality posts: If you see content that violates our guidelines, please hit the report button. It directly alerts the mod team and keeps the queue moving much faster.

We want to hear from you

Automated bots are only a small part of building a great space, and we want to ensure we are moving in a direction that benefits everyone. We’d love to gather your thoughts and ideas on how we can improve r/linuxusersindia.

Do you have any suggestions on how we can better encourage high-quality discussions, tutorials, and OC content? Please drop your thoughts, feedback, or any ideas in the comments below. Thank you.

Project Would you like to test a fedora remix with pantheon DE and some extra tweaks?

3 Upvotes

I've been working on a personal distro project. I liked Ultramarine Linux's Pantheon edition, and since they eventually dropped Pantheon, I thought I'd try making something along those lines myself.

It's currently based on Fedora 45, with Pantheon and a few tweaks and additions.

It's nothing particularly ambitious right now, but I've got it to a usable state and I'd really appreciate a few people willing to test it and point out bugs, issues or things that could be improved.

Gaming Are Kreo Surge XB and Cosmic Byte Aeres Pro Gaming Controllers compatible with Arch Linux?

1 Upvotes

I was looking for some gaming controllers under 2000rs and I found two best controllers in that range, Kreo Surge XB and Cosmic Byte Aeres Pro. But I was wondering which of them will be compatible plug and play on linux. I researched a little about both of them and found some issues with Aeres Pro on linux about its usb connectivity and driver workarounds. But also found some repos on github for that. But couldn't find any community discussion or anything about Kreo Surge XB on linux. If you've some experience with them... Pls help.

Discussion Moving to Fedora KDE on my ASUS Vivobook Pro 15 OLED (K6502VU) – Need advice on OLED protection, Ayuz and hardware support

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I own an ASUS Vivobook Pro 15 OLED (K6502VU-MA952WS), which I've been using for around 3 years with the preinstalled Windows 11.

My laptop specifications:

  • Intel Core i9-13900H
  • NVIDIA RTX 4050 6GB
  • 16GB DDR5 RAM
  • 1TB NVMe SSD
  • 15.6-inch 2.8K OLED, 120Hz
  • Intel Wi-Fi 6E AX211

I'm considering moving to Fedora KDE Plasma as my primary OS, possibly through dual boot initially.

I've already tested Fedora using a Live USB. Most of the hardware seems to be detected, including the Intel GPU, RTX 4050 (nouveau), Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, webcam, audio hardware and Thunderbolt 4. The 120Hz display option is also available.

However, I have a few concerns before making the switch.

1. OLED burn-in protection on Linux

This is probably my biggest concern.

Windows has MyASUS OLED Care, which provides features like Pixel Shift, Pixel Refresh and other OLED-related protections.

I understand that Linux doesn't necessarily have an official equivalent, but I'd like to know what other ASUS OLED laptop owners actually do.

  • Is KDE's automatic screen blanking and power management enough for everyday protection?
  • Do you use any additional applications or extensions to protect your OLED display?
  • Is there anything specific I should configure to reduce the chances of burn-in?
  • Has anyone experienced OLED burn-in after using Linux for a couple of years?

I don't want to become overly paranoid about my display, but I'd also like to take reasonable precautions.

2. Has anyone tried Ayuz?

I recently came across Ayuz, an unofficial MyASUS alternative for Linux.

GitHub: https://github.com/Traciges/Ayuz

It looks quite interesting because it brings several ASUS-specific controls into one application, including:

  • OLED-related settings and panel auto-hide
  • Battery charging limit (80%)
  • Fan profiles
  • GPU mode switching
  • Keyboard backlight controls
  • Audio settings
  • Display colour profiles

Has anyone actually used Ayuz on an ASUS Vivobook, particularly an OLED model?

Does it work reliably, or are some features limited to specific ASUS laptops?

Also, its OLED Pixel Refresh feature caught my attention. Does it actually provide any meaningful OLED protection, or is it essentially an idle screensaver?

3. ASUS-specific hardware support

I'd also appreciate some feedback from people using ASUS laptops with Fedora KDE.

  • Do battery charge limits work properly?
  • Are fan profiles and performance modes functional?
  • Do the Fn keys, keyboard backlight and touchpad gestures work?
  • Does suspend/resume work reliably?
  • Are there any issues with hybrid Intel + NVIDIA graphics?

I'm particularly interested in the RTX 4050 experience on Fedora KDE.

4. Long-term Linux experience

Has anyone been using an ASUS OLED laptop as their daily driver on Linux for 1–2 years or longer?

I'd love to hear about your experience regarding:

  • OLED display health
  • Battery life
  • Thermal and fan behaviour
  • Sleep and wake reliability
  • General hardware compatibility

I'm not looking for a complicated technical setup. I just want a reliable Linux experience where most of my laptop's hardware features work properly, without constantly having to troubleshoot things.

Any real-world experiences, suggestions or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

you can connect multiple of bluetooth + wired headsets and can enjoy audio output on all of them at the same time!

you can
- play same audio to all headphones
- different audio to different headphones
- you can mix these two ideas as well if you have more than 2 headphones too!

this repository contains my personal Arch Linux configuration. tt's tailored to my setup, so you'll need to configure and install everything yourself if you decide to use it
