Today I built darktable 5.7 from source to try out the new AI features! I was especially curious about the new denoising models, both RAW and profile denoising.
I also freed ROCm (TheRock) from my chroot and set it up directly on my main system. And the ONNX Runtime actually built successfully!
The models are still running on the CPU for now, though. Darktable detects the GPU and the models are loaded into VRAM, but for some reason I haven't figured out yet, the actual computation still happens on the CPU.
The feature is still really new. The AI subsystem is optional at build time and even the Flatpak doesn't include the AI features yet. GPU acceleration requires a separate GPU-enabled ONNX Runtime.
The current AMD setup is aimed at ROCm 7 and RX 7000-series GPUs and newer.
And then there's my setup: the RX 6700 XT isn't officially supported by darktable's current MIGraphX setup and I'm running ROCm 10 on top of that.
So naturally I had to try it anyway.
What could possibly go wrong with an RX 6700 XT that isn't supported by either of them? xD
So far, the results from the models look really good! I'll be posting some photos from my DSLR soon, taken in the forest at high ISO, so they should be a good test for the new denoising models.

Are you familiar with dwm's powerful tag feature?
THE TAGGING MODEL
Many desktop environments organize windows using rigid workspaces:
dwm uses a different model, treating workspaces as bitmask labels (tags).
This allows a single window instance to hold multiple tags simultaneously,
acting as a persistent visual anchor across different contexts:
switch to Tag 2, the browser disappears, but the exact same log window
remains on screen, now sharing space with your text editor.
The application is never duplicated or restarted in memory.
The UI remains minimal while enabling workflows that are difficult to
express using traditional workspace-oriented desktops.
Two decades later, this tagging model remains one of the most
distinctive features of dwm.

Ok noctalia is pretty nice! And with qt apps + the global menu, it really matches what I’m used to.
It doesn’t seem like there’s a working MPD plugin, but that can probably be rectified, I’ll have a look.
Noctalia + niri + kde apps styles with macos 9 icons is one of my favorite desktops so far

xdg and d-bus are great and the way to integration and consistency in linux.
I had already played with MPRIS when writing lyricli, which magically gives you compatibility with most music players, but having explored more of it, I’m convinced it’s essential for any app developer to support.
I wonder if apps support d-bus scripting in the same way Mac apps support AppleScript.

Well fuck. Remember when I said I was going to be deploying a #Linux desktop for my mom's church's office? (My mother is the church secretary).
Yeah, that can't happen, because they use a proprietary church management software that is Windows based. Linux clients exist, but only for RHEL, SuSE Enterprise, CentOS, and Ubuntu. They state the packages will not work on other distros. The church will never pay for RedHat nor SuSE, CentOS is fucking shite, and Ubuntu is beyond shite. Even if I can get it working in another distro, the minute they have an issue, the vendor will stonewall the minute they see an unsupported configuration.
So I get to support a fucking Windows 11 machine.
I haven't touched a Windows computer in close to a year. This is gonna be fun on the bun.
Request: Post links to the latest Windows 11 defuckification tools.
Edit: Everybody can stop trying to suggest how I can actually run RHEL, or make another distro work, or how Ubuntu isn't all that terrible. I have talked myself out of Linux for a far more significant reason: I'm not doing this to support my mother's church. I am doing this to support my mother. When she steps down as secretary, I step down as IT support. Someone else is going to have to maintain this thing. It is a very safe bet they will not be proficient in Linux.
Edit Edit: In short, I frequently have to remind myself that my exit strategy is sometimes the most important consideration.

Quoting this again because it extends to the recent happenings as well. The recent proposal from the LF should be condemned and fought against, but you shouldn't be surprised by it, and in general, you really shouldn't be giving them as much credit for the Linux desktop as some people seem to do.
The #Linux Foundation is way less relevant for the Linux desktop space than you might think. The "Linux" in its name is a little misleading, because while it does indeed support the development of the Linux kernel, it also oversees a bunch of other projects. It's not at all comparable to e.g. the #GNOME Foundation, #KDE e.v. or the #Debian project.
It's not run by the same kind of people, and does not have the same kind of goals. It does not concern itself with the ideology of the free software movement, or the "community" in the sense that you and I perceive that word.
It exists as a collaboration ground for corporations, and primarily serves the interests of those.

Okay, so after using Cosmic full-time for like 3 months via Pop_OS!
- This is a beta product that should not have been released as an LTS
- This has great potential, 6-24months from now.
- This does not have remotely the community engagement necessary for it's ecosystem to function as intended (like Gnome or KDE does)
France is transitioning government desktops to Linux, with each ministry required to formalize its implementation plan by autumn 2026.

For many people, the #Linux vs #Windows vs #Mac debate is a privilege — it assumes you can choose. But working with the Computer Upcycle Project, I've seen the real choice is often Linux vs no computer at all.
~95% of donated computers are "too old" for Windows 11 or macOS. Linux installs on them anyway, adding 10+ years of life to machines #Microsoft and #Apple called trash.
This isn't Linux vs Windows. It's Linux vs e-waste.
I’m impressed how many apps actually expose the menu via dbus or at-spi! Basically only gtk4 and custom renderers don’t (including everything iced).
Firefox and Betterbird do! And with some app choices, most of the apps I use support global menu.

Ah, disappointed to learn that KDE is also going the path of hamburger menus vs actual menu bars, so anything kirigami does not export an actual global menu.
Kirigami apps have the same "mobile inspired" desktop approach that I think sucks on desktop and is the GNOME approach, and increasingly the macOS approach as well.

Has anyone got any recommendations for not super difficult to use / setup / manage linux patching solutions? I was looking at Landscape as most of the servers are Ubuntu but it turns out you need "Call us" pricing with Ubuntu Pro to get more than 10 servers installed (And spoiler, I have more than 10 servers just to run Mastodon stuff!).

Bob Scheifler announces the first release of the X Window System:
"I stole a fair amount of code from W ... and called it X."
Forty-two years later, I'm still running X11 daily on Slackware.
Happy Birthday, X.
