I’m using nobara right now, but somewhere over the last year my bluetooth has stopped working.
This has led me down the road of a reinstall, nobara had been great for gaming but now that I’m looking at spending more time developing I’m also looking at an immutable os. There has been some really enlightening discussion here.

Bittorrent is nice for getting isos, but it would pul my hair out if I tried to download patches with it.

If it is not sensitive data, and you’re okay being morally objectionable, you can buy a large hard drive from some place with a good return policy, transfer your data to it, format/repartition your drive, transfer everything back and return the hdd for a 15% stocking fee.

I use fedora on my thinkbook with Gnome/PaperWM and my upgrade experience was ezpz.

I tried a ton, and I settled with Fedora just for the mix of stability and support. Though, with Red Hat being asses I might have to mix it up.

Are you using the legacy Nvidia drivers? They dropped support for the 600 series gpu, so you’ll need to make sure you’re using a driver version "470.something?

I mean yes, but there’s way better exposure from online videos. Things like this 100% should have an accompanying post though.

I love Wayland until I don’t. I honestly don’t think about it, it gets out of my way and my system is stable, until I go to use something like scrcpy that just doesn’t work at all. Luckily, the amount of things that straight up don’t work is shrinking.

I can appreciate that. I wonder if I can set a rule that it displays a certain workspace after unlocking…

I’m always curious how long people spend staying at their desktops. My laptop has six virtual desktops and I can’t see the background on any of them.

One for each uni course and one for general use, and they all have 2-3 windows open. It’s super handy for school since I can just swipe and pick up where I left off on every course.

Edit: That’s not to take away from a gorgeous desktop. It looks really nice.

Computer is computer, and it works great. Phone is computer, so it should work great.

I understand this thought train, but yeah I had the same reaction as well.

This should be done to any laptop after 4 years. A tube of paste only costs like $5, and it will have a massive difference.

I can only assume it’s wayland causing the crash. When I run gnome45 in x11, it suspends and resumes normally, but when I run in wayland upon resume everything is gone, regardless of what was running. I’ve combed through dmesg to find out what’s happening but it hasn’t been too fruitful so far.

For whatever reason it can’t seem to suspend my thinkpad. Everything crashes and when I open the lid I have to log in again :/

Yeah but they only stopped making them less than two decades ago!

Those are all solid options, so you might be tempted to use them. I keep a windows partition on case I need it for something, but I’m never tempted to use it unless I absolutely have to.

Are you using the iGPU? Like, can you get away with disabling it in BIOS?

The Pop_Shop gives you the option via a little drop down of flatpak/Deb. I’m not sure if the option is flagged by application developers or system76.

“There are 14 competing standards!”

“We should make a new one that has all the benefits of the others, and everyone can use that.”

“There are now 15 competing standards!”

Rinse and repeat.

I use a 2020 hp envy 360 with a ryzen 4700u. I can get away all day typing or websurfing indoors. I can also drain the battery in two hours by playing games.

One of the things I like, is how easy it is to govern the cpu. If I know I’m away from a wall for a bit I can govern the cpu to 1.4ghz and it’ll last a long time. I haven’t actually done any testing to see how long.
