Got me a little upgrade

A T495s to replace my aging T430. The T430 is still quite usable, but the original battery with 34% health isn't great, though it gets through a 2 hour lecture no problem.

I do miss the trackpoint buttons and smaller trackpad, I tend to move the mouse with my palm while using the trackpoint, but otherwise the new one is better in every way.

One screen is black with flickering backlight on new AMD GPU

I just got a new Radeon RX 6700 XT. I connected my screens to it, and 2 display like they should but mh Asus PG278Q only flickers the backlight. Same problem in text mode, but the UEFI setup shows up fine. In KDE display configuration it doesn't recognise the model, and shows 640x480 as the only supported resolution. Same in my Arch install and live Fedora. I have tried both DP ports on the GPU and different cables. The screen only has a DP port. What more can I try?

Edit: it seems the low resolution text mode grub uses works, but when it switches to the higher res mode the picture goes away

Another edit: same problem with an R9 280 I have. So it seems something about the AMD drivers doesn't like my monitor.

More editing: the older card lets me set the screen to 1024x768 which actually displays. So it seems to be an EDID problem. Now to figure out how to tell KDE what resolutions it supports.

The last edit: I found an EDID file for this monitor online and added it in the kernel command arguments. Monitor works with the full resolution, but only 120Hz instead of the full 144.

Which password manager to use?

I currently use KeepassXC that is synced through NextCloud. The sync isn't very elegant, especially on my phone. So I'm looking for a new password manager, which has a native server sync support that I can self host. What do y'all recommend? I need at least a phone app and a browser integration that can autofill.

[Solved] Plasmashell started crashing every time I interact with the panel

Fedora KDE, Wayland, Nvidia, proprietary drivers. Everything worked fine until suddenly plasmashell started crashing every time I interact with with the plasma panel. On x11 this doesn't happen, but instead the the whole video freezes while audio continues, and after a while it comes back. The plasma panel may or may not be frozen after this.

Is this an Nvidia problem again?
