Subject: Ubuntu 25.04 & Fedora 42 Hit A Long Sought Milestone With HDR Support Working Well On The Linux Desktop

[Reply] [ReplyQuoted] [Headers] [Print]

It[he]#039[/he]s almost majestic: HDR display support working on the Linux desktop. If you asked me at the start of the calendar year if I[he]#039[/he]d expect to see modern Linux distributions shipping with working HDR display support in H1[he]#039[/he]2025, I would have been doubtful. But after a lot of miraculous work that landed across numerous upstream repositories over the past two months or so, everything has come together just in time for the likes of Ubuntu 25.04 and Fedora Workstation 42.

Subject: Using Custom Charge Thresholds with GNOME’s Preserve Battery Health Feature

[Reply] [ReplyQuoted] [Headers] [Print]

GNOME is probably the most used desktop environment on Linux; its latest iteration (codename “Bengaluru”), ships with many performance improvements and some new features, as the ability to limit the battery charge straight from the “control center”, in order to preserve its health and increase its lifespan. By default, when this feature is active, a battery will start charging only when under 75% of its capacity, and will stop charging when it reaches 80%. In this tutorial, we learn how to replace those values with custom ones.
