Using Debian 13 XFCE on SM-P550
Finally i can log in to desktop :)
Finally i can log in to desktop :)
Literally 2 years passed since that CPUs out of there, note thay Apple silicon now has a proper and BETTER support than this Snapdragons, they said "we gonna make Native Linux support" and we still waiting. I was planning to get great Linux laptop with great battery and performance thans to Snapdragon, now its impossible. Only usable OS option out there is Ubuntu and its NOT good too, there is still some issues on Audio, performance is worst than Intel 12th gen i5, battery time worst than Windows, i dont understand. Am i wrong or something? What they promised what they said and what they doing, propiertary driver. When we will get proper Linux support, or this devices gonna get burried with Windows

PULS Kernel/GRUB Manager is a Linux kernel and GRUB manager for end-users running Debian-based distros like Ubuntu, Mint, Debian etc. Its purpose is using custom Linux kernels like Linux-Zen or updated longterm kernel like 6.18.43 on Debian 12 and above systems without any issues and with easy-use GUI for new starters. You have a laptop like mine runs on Debian 12 but having issues like Acer Fan drivers are not inside of 6.1 kernel and wanna use never kernel version, here you go! This application builds, compiles, and installs to your system as deb package, making things easier for you, you just have to wait to finish installing, then 1 reboot, here you go your new kernel! It also includes GRUB editor inside of it, basic tools only. You want to add some parameters like "acpi_backlight=native" to fix your brightness issue on your Acer laptop without using any terminal, here you go, this tool makes everything easier for you! You have a lot kernels and want to manage directly booting them instead of navigating on start, you can set your primary kernel to directly boot on it. If you wanna have some backups, while updating GRUB settings you will have a backup, you can test some commands and see some results then apply it to GRUB settings if you want, you can set your GRUB theme from here too. You have a secure boot issue, you want to enable Secure Boot but you need to create MOK key, there is a tool for you to create it easily so you can use your VMWare or NVIDIA drivers! You dont want to wait compiling kernels, there is a section for you under of Zen kernels, PRECOMPILED KERNELS! (Special thanks to https://prebuiltkernels.com/) You can install what you want, they will appear as kernels! You will have the kernel you want in 5 minutes, there you go!
This project is still on development process but its now usable! https://github.com/word-sys/puls-kernel-mgr/releases/tag/v1.3.0
PULS Linux Kernel/GRUB Management Tool is a project for end-users that automatically compiles, installs, and configures using a click-to-use approach. It allows users to upgrade from the fixed Debian kernel to higher versions, enabling the use of kernels with improved hardware support, performance, and bug fixes on Debian systems. This is a localization project and includes Turkish language support.
Regarding the project itself:
Upon startup, the user is greeted with a warning screen. All subsequent operations require SUDO privileges, which are only used for control purposes, and failsafe is enabled. The main screen presents the user with a Dashboard, providing information about the current system setup and allowing for instant snapshots to revert to previous versions if problems arise. In the Kernels section, the user can select a kernel series and install the desired kernel by clicking on it. The right-hand side of the screen displays the currently installed kernels, allowing users to delete unused or unwanted kernels. In the Boot Manager, GRUB configuration can be done. The simplified configuration offered for end-users often allows you to change settings and rebuild GRUB with a single click. On the right side of the screen, you can edit the current boot order, allowing users with dual boot to default to their preferred operating system. You can also create a GRUB backup for security purposes and perform a recovery immediately in case of a problem. In the System Security section, you can create a complete system backup, monitor error logs, or manage Secure Boot Keys (MOKs). Generating and saving MOKs provides support for Secure Boot devices. Taking a snapshot of the system as a backup using Timeshift makes it easy to revert to a previous state if something goes wrong.
Screenshots of the project are available in the attachments section. Project link: https://github.com/word-sys/puls-kernel-mgr
PULS DiskInfo is a comprehensive storage health and S.M.A.R.T. monitoring application developed for Linux systems using GTK4 and C. Inspired by CrystalDiskInfo, it displays critical health status, temperatures, and detailed drive attributes. It lists and monitors multiple drives (NVMe SSD, SATA SSD, SSHD, HDD, USB, etc.). Alongside important details about the disk such as model, software, interface, interface standard, type, total read/write operations, and remaining lifespan, it also shows the current disk temperature, supported technologies, health information (e.g., critical error status, host read/write command count, etc.), and the partitions and their occupancy rates. The project includes Turkish language support.
The project also includes performance tests (benchmarks) and S.M.A.R.T. monitoring for HDDs. The monitoring test includes performance tests similar to DiskMark, supporting all disks, such as read/write tests, sector scanning, and seek latency tests. It also has a repair function for failed disks (e.g., USB drives) (if one becomes available). You can also view the read/write and instantaneous usage rates of the selected disk in a table.
Furthermore, you can export detailed disk data as a summary table. This feature is useful for sharing the overall health of SSD HDDs with others. You can also view the disk's warning log.
The project is on Github; photos are attached: https://github.com/word-sys/puls-diskinfo
If you gonna advertise that one XDA forum post which there is some guys says "i did it" and i tried it a lot, dont do it, it doesnt work. You will waste least 3 hours.
I need recommendation about performance and overall usability rather than app compatibility between Stock Samdung Android 5.1.1 vs 6.0.1 ROM

GPU Dashboard Summary: GPU utilization and temperature shown directly in the dashboard overview header
L1/L2/L3 Cache Info: CPU tab now shows L1 data/instruction, L2, and L3 cache sizes parsed from /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cache/
Transactional GRUB Editor: Edits are staged in memory; pressing u opens a comparison modal showing all pending changes before any write; requires sudo
Changed
Dependency Reduction: Replaced users, chrono, clap, and parking_lot with standard library code and custom Unix FFI helpers
Tab Footer Hints: Footer key indicators now show controls accurate to each active tab
Config Column Layout: Config table columns changed to percentage-based widths for better readability
TTY-Safe Symbols: All Unicode emoji/symbols replaced with ASCII alternatives ([+], [*], [-], ->, v, ^) for terminal compatibility
Fixed
Docker Tab Navigation: Up/Down selection and automatic first-row focus now work correctly on the containers tab
Number Keys During Edit: Pressing digit keys while editing a config field no longer switches tabs
