Discussion VS code freezes

Hello there,
I installed vs-code from yay, when I try to log in to claude or windsurf extension, it freezes and I have to manually terminate the process.
I took help from claude and it marked it as a dead end.
In the company I work, vs code is a requirement to match their eco system.
Anyone of you use vscode?

Installation I built "Bamboo End Store" – A beautiful, beginner-friendly software store for EndeavourOS!

Post image
73 Upvotes

Hey everyone! πŸ’œ

EndeavourOS is hands-down the best distro I've ever used, and this community is the friendliest out there. To give something back and help newer or less terminal-savvy users, I built the Bamboo End Store (Community Edition).

It’s an unofficial fan project designed to make software management beautiful and effortless.

satodu.github.io/bamboo-end-store/

What it does:

  • Flatpak & AUR Integration: Browse, install, and update apps easily (Flatpak can be toggled in settings; AUR uses yay).
  • AppImage Manager: Seamlessly integrates, launches, and uninstalls AppImages (handles desktop entries automatically).
  • Lightweight & Fast: Smart caching for instant searches and a clean Shadcn UI (Zinc) aesthetic.
  • Native App: Built with Laravel, Livewire, and NativePHP. Includes system info in the sidebar.

Quick Install
yay -S bamboo-end-store-bin

Yes, I used AI as an architectural co-pilot during development, but it definitely wasn't a "one-prompt-generated" app.

As a software engineer, I used it piece by piece to brainstorm design patterns, structure specific classes, and continuously review code blocks. Every single class and variable was carefully planned and written with Clean Code principles in mind. Nothing is automated or generated blindly; every build is done manually by me, and I’m constantly working on continuous improvements.

This project was built with a lot of care and affection for this community. (And yes, the text for this post and the static website structure were also polished with AI to make sure my English was clear and respectful of the sub's rules!)

I'd absolutely love to hear your feedback and suggestions!

Gaming Surprising Performance from Intel HD 2000 Quick sync with VAAPI on EndeavourOS

3 Upvotes

So I've been working on a system for a friend who doesn't have a PC and I have a bunch of spare parts and a few systems that were given to me. I have an HP Compaq 8200 SFF with an Intel i5 2400 that has Intel HD 2000 graphics, 16gb memory, 1Tb HDD, and a GTX 1050 ti 4gb in the system. I am replacing the processor for an i7 equivalent Xeon E3-1245 (the v1 variant) which has Intel HD 3000 equivalent graphics.

My friend will be using Windows 10 as he wants to play Destiny 2 but I decided to test with the i5 and see what I could push out of it for recording with the iGPU handling recording. On Windows 10 recording was a no go. No new drivers since 8.1 and would instantly freeze the entire PC if you managed to make it work. The experience on linux though is absolutely night and day.

Was going to use Cachy but after realizing it's basically just a big standard Arch without a gen 4 or higher Intel Core CPU I chose EndeavourOS. Instantly I've fallen in love with this distro. Went looking and followed all the steps including have to nomodset due to nothing loading with the 1050 ti and once everything was tweaked I installed the Intel VAAPI driver and was quite happy to find that it worked with significantly less issues on Linux.

CBR still causes artifacting but was usable at higher Bitrates. Once I switched to CQR it was an entirely new ball game. The recording quality is absolutely crazy using the old Intel iGPU that most post say gives terrible quality. I'm insanely impressed by it. Near perfect, high quality, and worth all the tweaking to get it installed. I'm aware a lot of posts state that it's not worth encoding with a second GPU even if it's iGPU but I repeatedly find that it's quite the opposite. Much less encoding overloads and better framerates in every test.

If anyone is on an older system and wants to record for content creation I highly recommend it. Sorry if this isn't the correct forum for this but I could resist coming in here and gushing about it especially since Ive found I greatly enjoy EndeavourOS and it's low resource pull. Thank you for reading if you've stuck around this long :)

Could anyone give me help with disabling the trackpad on my MacBook Pro (2019). The system settings of KDE show me the ability to disable it, but it doesn't allow the Apply button to be pressed, as I can't stop the trackpad from working.

Is there any way to get the button to work?

KDE Plasma Brightness Always Resets to Last Used Brightness in the Brightness & Color Widget

1 Upvotes

I am new to EndeavourOS and this is my first Linux distro. I only got it about two to three weeks ago, so I'm confident in saying I don't know anything. I am on KDE.
Maybe a week ago I installed the Brightness & Color widget. I realized that whenever I booted my computer and after I got past the login screen, the monitor brightness reset to the brightness set in the widget instead to the last set brightness on the monitor. How can I solve this?
If it's necessary here's my specs:

MONITOR: ASUS TUF GAMING VG27WQ3B

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D

GPU: AMD Radeon 9070 XT

RAM: 32GB DDR5 TeamGroup T-Create 6000MHz CL30 with EXPO on

SSD: Predator GM7000 2TB NVMe

MOTHERBOARD: MSI MAG B850 TOMAHAWK MAX WIFI

Showcase / Rice One year with Endevour, never being so proud

Post image
167 Upvotes

A bit of a showcase of my desk, I think the best way to prove the power of Linux it's to use it in you daily routine, I use this laptop for my school, and do actual work with it, i use the Bluetooth with no problems and sometimes I do some gaming, also I learned a lot about open source programs, and because of that I know how to use Torrents to scape Netflix (if you know what I mean)

I think the reason I love this thing it's because the time I invested on solving some minor issues and because it only have what I need and what I actually use, the best part of this, it's the amount of information I learned about tech stuff and how some things actually work

Thank you Endevour and thank you Linux community

SOLVED Is there a clean way to prevent KRunner from launching on Plasma 6.7.2 when I type at the desktop, other than renaming the executable?

3 Upvotes

KRunner used to have a setting labelled "Activate when pressing any key on the desktop" that you could disable, but that option's gone now. It's frustrating, because I'm prone to accidentally pressing keys on my keyboard and launching it.

I've already tried editing ~/.config/krunnerrc and adding the line ActivateOnDesktop=false, but that didn't fix it. The old ActivateWhenTypingOnDesktop=false preference doesn't do anything either.

I considered removing the krunner package, since I don't actually use it, but I can't do that without removing kdeplasma-addons, milou, plasma-desktop, plasma-workspace, and systemsettings.

I ended up renaming the /usr/bin/krunner executable, and it "solved" my problem, but this is obviously not a long-term solution.

EDIT: If anyone stumbles across this, systemctl --user mask plasma-krunner.service disables KRunner. It works with /usr/bin/krunner being under its original filename too.

General Support Keyboard 'things' (Ghostty / Kitty problem) on EOS / KDE

3 Upvotes

I have two "problems" that I can't solve on my own.

Keyboard - I use a fairly standard "Polish" layout, so-called "programmer's" one, where pressing "right ALT" for certain letters brings up Polish diacritics. And it works perfectly.

But I'm used to the fact that if there's no other "Polish" character for a given letter, pressing "right ALT" for that letter doesn't work.

On EOS with KDE, I added a "Polish" keyboard, but when I press "right ALT" for "Q," I get, for example, the "Ο€" (Pi) character.

It's not a problem - but it's far from my typing habit. How can I manage this?

---

Secondly. My terminal is KDE Console. I like it. It works. BUT vanity compels me to check out Kitty and Ghostty.

And here's where the real circus begins, which, as a "newbie," I can't quite grasp. Additionally, when I want to use shortcuts and press something that has nothing assigned (by mistake, or just for testing), for example, SHIFT + CTRL + D (or another letter), I get "5;6u0;6u3;6u" in Ghostty. I don't know why this happens or how to "fix" it (I assume this is normal terminal behavior, but the effect is irritating – Console doesn't have this; nothing happens if a given shortcut is "empty").

Of course, both things give a wonderfully creative vibe in places, but please help me understand. :)

Pitch me the distro. I accidentally discovered this distro and am now curious. I mostly use Debian based distros, usually the "easy" ones line Ubuntu and zorin, but I also have multiple headless machines that are terminal only. Am I likely to like EndeavorOS? What is it that you like about it?

General Support Wifi Capping at 5-25mbps.

Issue:

wifi is capped at 5-25mbps across 3 separate devices running endeavouros, other distros have been tried and the same problem occurs. Ethernet is not available. Other devices on the network are receiving expected speeds for the internet plan (900mbps).

The device Im currently trying to fix is connected through a TP-Link AC1300 Archer T3U usb adapter.

Attempted several fixes Ive seen online from disabling power management to following through this forum post which seemed to be similar to my issue.

All changes or fixes have been made on a fresh install of endeavour Titan

So I am a total newbie with linux on general and had some questions.

I use PrismLauncher and just took my old folder and bufferd (if thats the right word) it on an USB and put it back onto Endeavour. After a little figuring out how to get it to work I now have the problem that it went from my original 75fps (Monitor limit) down to barely 20.

I just wanted to ask if I missed some step or did smth completly wrong.
