I didnt even remember which os I had until I read this and remembered it was aurora

Yup, its super easy

Can AUR be used by other distros like Debian or fedora?

This is a deep sleep issue. A google search will show that many modern processors can’t actually deep sleep (S3) and therefore the only option is to hibernate or shut it off.

To find out if you can, sleep the computer, wake it up then run:

journalctl | grep S3

There should be a line about what type of sleep is available and another line about what type of sleep your computer was just in.

If S3 is not listed as an available sleep mode you might get lucky and be able to turn it on in the bios. If you can’t then you are out of luck.

Since I use fedora atomic, I used this to turn on deep sleep: rpm-ostree kargs --append="mem_sleep_default=deep"

On non atomic I forget exactly how but I think this is the way: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/720514/cannot-write-into-sys-power-mem-sleep-in-fedora-36

Also this channel has many new videos with freecad 1.0. Especially for woodworking

I also would like to know what the desktop app is used for?

I’ve seen apps like xpipe that have direct Bitwarden integration if you want (way too high risk for me but I can see some people using it), but even then it integrates directly to the servers API. When I need an ssh password or something I copy and paste it from the browser extension. I’m curious if I’m missing some functionality by not using the app.

Sonarr puts shows in

• show folder
• season folder
• show name - S01E01 - episode name.mp4

Check their website for migration info. There are some caveats in special circumstances but most people can just change the docker image from gitea to forgejo.

I did exactly that with no issues.

This is a good place to start to understand what you are doing: https://www.howtogeek.com/499623/how-to-use-journalctl-to-read-linux-system-logs/

But basically you shut the computer off, then on then do

journalctl -S -3m

Will show the last 3 mins of logs which you can go through and try to read the logs up until the moment it actually turns off to see what is happening.

I would check the journalctl logs to ensure it is fully turning off. If here is still battery drain and you are sure the laptop is off, then its a hardware issue rather than software.

I’m surprised no one mentioned this if you are already using kde

Sleep mode seems to be working well for me on fedora atomic with kde (aurora).

Deep sleep works well and can stay sleeping for days.

Normally sleep rules are working well. The do not sleep toggle in the power menu also works to prevent it from sleeping.

Only thing that doesn’t work is flatpak apps can’t prevent the system from sleeping, so watching a video, using Handbrake to encode etc will all just allow it to sleep if there is no physical input.

I have a 2018 dell xps

If I understand it correctly, layering an application is no more dangerous than a regular install on a non atomic os. In other words, every piece of software you have installed on normal fedora desktop is not containerized, if it’s software you were going to install anyways, layering it is the same as before (albeit significantly slower than install and update).

But that means that you get great benefits because 99% of your software packages are properly containerized

Kde has a disable sleep button in the power/battery icon menu which I use as a work around, still annoying and yet another quality of life issue that Just Works ™ on other platforms

https://getaurora.dev/

Has been working for me. The issues I’ve encountered so far are all minor flatpak issues (Firefox not allowed to sleep-lock so the laptop screen shuts off watching videos etc)

I have an atomic variant of fedora 40 (Aurora) and it just works on an Intel CPU with integrated graphics. I have a USB c dongle with HDMI out and it just works when I plug it in.

I also tried it on my steam deck dock the other day and it worked without issue.

And good resources on how to learn to use Toolbox properly?

Does anyone know if Timeshift has any use with fedora atomic distros?

Hybrid sleep is the way to go but my dell xps wakes from s3 in less than 5s
