why is it pinging the github server every minute??

should I keep using an outdated electron journal app?
The last update was in 2020. Electron version is 8.0.
I have been using it since then on linux.. however, I am not too sure if I should keep using it?
If I am moving to another app, I am thinking of rednotebook, unless there is something better.
that is a good point... I obviously missed that. my generally would only use flatpak from the same developer of the app, or I will just use the deb packaged by my distro.
actually there is difference in version between the two. deb by my distro is in 4.0.0 (mar, 2022) while flatpak is 5.0.0 (nov, 2024)
i am not sure which one is the native version... you mean the version packaged by the distro (deb) or the developer (flatpak)?
Try COSMIC DE apps on virtual machine
-
install virt-manager
-
create a vm pop-os
-
start the vm
-
sudo apt install cosmic-session -
sudo nano /etc/gdm3/custom.conf -
set "
WaylandEnable=true" -
reboot
-
at the log in screen, there is a small gear wheel on the bottom right side, choose “Pop on Wayland" (edit: if you want COSMIC DE to work too, see update below)
update:
there are some settings on the virt-manager to make COSMIC DE works.
if you don't need to run COSMIC DE, can ignore the following
- Display Spice : Type = Spice server, Listen type = none, uncheck password / opengl
- Video : use QXL (instead of default Virtio)
new step 8. at the log in screen, there is a small gear wheel on the bottom right side, choose “COSMIC"
Are we going to have kernel 6.8 before 24.04?

Graphical corruption
Sometimes when resuming from sleep, or when playing a fullscreen video, my screen will fill with white video blocks.
rebooting will fix the problem (until it appears again).
$ uname -r 6.6.6-76060606-generic
Similar to this: https://i.bke.ro/selif/artifacts.mp4 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Xt2e9Lt2gg

One solution is to add amdgpu.sg_display=0
sudo kernelstub -a "amdgpu.sg_display=0"
