Hey there,

I think its not the first time you read about this.

I recently installed a Linux on my gaming pc and I want to fade out of Windows11 and into Linux only. So far so good.

One of my biggest concerns where the colours of my monitors. Since Adrenaline is not available on Linux, I hoped for another solution to get the colours bright and bangy. But it seems impossible with wayland.
And noo, its not a setting that my monitor can provide. It never was and it never will (I write it down since in every thread about this topic, someone was mentioning it sounds like something the monitor setting should handle).

• For X11 there was vibrantLinux.
• A maybe instable solution could be vibrant-cli.
• For games there is Gamescope thanks to Valve. But this only works for Games started from within Steam.

So this means, my Desktop/Browser still is not as bangy as I want it to be.

My search lead me to KWin scripting could be the solution. This is where I need some advice or somebody to confirm!

If I want to increase the overall colour saturation for my monitors, the correct way to go is to create a KWin script that does it, pack it as a package and use it.

I found the KWin Scripting tutorial over at develop.kde.org and I feel like solving this problem could be interesting.

Since I have no experience with JS, ECMA-Scripting or QMA, all this will be new and I want to know beforehand if I walk the right path. If not, a lot of time will be consumed just to realise I was wrong.

Thanks for reading :)

PS: I like KDE very much

PPS: Just if you never heard of Adrenaline: I have Radeon gpu

I don't know what excatly my question is, because of that I would like to explain my concerns and will see what you all think about it.

It seems like the american actions to come are getting more and more unpredictable or just more assaultive. Especialy the tech scene seems willing to ignore inconvenient laws of foreign countries they operate in. While I can adapt to that by simply use other services, there are a few fields no real option is available.

While having Android as an unavoidable OS for mobile devices (at least when one still wants to use payment services like paypal and google pay) my main concern is about Open Source or better saying the place where most projects are stored: Github.

Did MS said something regarding their intentions for github and europe? While Meta, Google, Ebay etc. for example published updated general terms and conditions and clearly communicated they are unhappy with a bunch of things, MS was not that open and did not take postion as far as I know.

How likely it is to become a problem for europe to access github/gitlab/bitbucket you name it and the hosted FOSS and open dource projects lying there?

I am not that deep into the rules of FOSS and open source, so please lighten my up If I missed something essentialy or provide information about initiatives.

Maybe out there poeple are already creating a clone from github to another archive like it is done with other american public domain data stated here? (Sorry in advance, its a german article. TLDR: its about saving the public domain data of america as it is done for ukrainian data too)

Hi,

I am still an unexperianced linux user. But I encountered a problem that seems to be unfixable to me as a user.

My laptop is a tuxedo infinityBook pro gen2 with an intel iris xe integrated gpu in its intel i7 11370h.

At the moment it runs on ubuntu 24.04.

My Problem: My 3440x1440 display gets recognized, but its resolution does not work properly. It looks like the resolution is set to the correct size, but the monitor does not recognises it if this makes any sense. It means everything is to big and parts are invisible because they simply leave the panel.

My searches led me to following: It seams like the support for this resolution was patched into the driver only for 22.04 and 23.04. Since I updated the driver as stated on the intel site and nothing changed, I guess I have three options now:

1. Reinstalling an older version of ubuntu
2. Wait for a fix by intel
3. Downgrade to an older version of ubuntu.

Atm option 3 feels like my way to go since I am not the admin of the laptop. Nor i want to wait.

I found tutorials to downgrading but also comments wich said, it is to avoid to downgrade.

Is anybody in here that has ever downgraded ubuntu or fixed my problem somehow?

Thx for reading.
