I came here to say this also. First bad update and then both would be broken and pretty stressful for your friend…

Pile in if I’m wrong, but I dual boot win11 and linux it works fine. The only condition is it has to be separate physical disk. I wasn’t able to use the same hard drive with just partitions had to be completely different drives.

I was over here thinking what if somebody didn’t even know that was what she was doing or that they were supposed to say thank you. Now that poor person will be left wondering what even happened because her resolution (picking it up and putting it back) provides no opportunity to learn.

Did you try dual boot with one drive? Windows will fuck that up.

I didn’t have any intention of arguing…I was curious what you didn’t like about it. You’re entitled to your opinion.

What did Fedora do to hurt you so much?

GN went offensive on a company critical to US national security interests and were contacted by the secret service. Makes sense.

That’s wild, I’m on Fedora KDE and haven’t noticed any of these issues so far… Opens pretty fast, finds what I’m looking for. I didn’t see the UI bug he’s talking about with items being misaligned. I must just be lucky.

Yeah! They sleep in trees and when it gets in the 40s something about the cold causes their muscles to stop working and they just fall out of the trees.

Kernel 6.16.4 had a bug that caused packet loss. Patched in 6.16.5. Looks like Bazzite just updated (today?) from 6.16.4 to 6.17.5.

EDIT: Adding link talking about the bug

How on earth does somebody try to commit gun theft during open hours at a major outdoor retail chain? My local Bass Pro has all the guns behind a counter and like 4-6 employees working that counter and the stock room behind it at all times.

The modem. At some point ISPs started charging a rental fee for their provided modem. When I noticed it was 12 dollars a month, not sure what it might have gone up to by now. You can buy a decent modem on the lower side of a hundred ish dollars. Pays for itself in the first year.

Piggybacking on this good comment. The handful of doctors and counselors I’ve met always say an addiction is defined as something that impedes other areas/responsibilities of your life. If you are consistently skipping important things like taking care of children, going to work/school, basic hygiene because you can’t stop playing roblox… then that is an addiction.

This is the level of upset they want you. They want us to say things like “why have another election”

The system wasn’t perfect before. It’s an institution designed to cater to basic needs and maintain peace for hundreds of millions of people. It’s unreasonable to expect perfection with that many moving parts. The system of government should continue being modified as problems are discovered. Completely dismantling it because one guy found a way to fuck it up is not the answer. Getting that guy out and unfucking it back to at least where we were before is what’s needed right now.

He wants you angry. He’s actively trying to insight civil war. Terms like “radical” get thrown around now to justify violence later. He wants us to think we need to dismantle the entire government. We don’t. We need to get him out and put it back together. I fully understand the government didn’t serve all people equally prior to trump and there were parts that were broken, but seriously was it as bad as what we’re going through now? Personally, I don’t think so. Democrat or Republican I’d take any past president over what we have now.

That guy was an ignorant jerk who fell victim to the propaganda machine combined with the deteriorating education system. Sadly, we have a lot of those kind in the US. You didn’t meet them during your time in the hospitality industry because they mostly don’t have passports.

In KDE if you furiously move the mouse pointer in frustration, as one would when they can’t find it, the pointer will grow in size. Brighter minds than mine might be able to port that into Cinnamon.

I have been looking for a self hosted alternative to Discord if anybody knows some good options. I don’t need it to federate with anything not sure what you’re going for there… Closest option so far looked to be TS6, but they don’t seem keen on allowing self hosting for that. Apparently there’s a license that’s only good for two months. Would love to get my friends off discord and onto something local that has chat channels and screen sharing still.

You do gotta respect linux and communism.

Alt + PrintScreen key combo will take a snap of the active window and copy to clipboard without opening snipping tool.

Not sure this is the answer, but going to throw my two cents. If you try and it works let us know.

When I got back into linux a couple years ago I hopped through all of the distros you mentioned. The last one being KDE Neon. When I first found it I absolutely loved it. Decided that was going to be my main distro and started migrating all my systems which is a couple laptops, gaming desktop, and mini PC.

Over time I found that I was having minor, but consistent hardware issues. Similar to yours, freezing, and other gpu issues. It was most apparent on systems that had newer hardware. Looking at the specs for your mini PC it seems a bit older than what I have so again, not sure this applies to you, but I found my saving grace in Fedora. My issue specifically was the older kernel Neon uses not interacting well with my newer hardware and in some cases not having access to some hardware features. Fedora had a KDE spin otherwise I wouldn’t have done it. It has been my daily driver on all systems since.

TL;DR: Try Feodra KDE Spin or any distro that ships with a more up to date kernel

One of the 7/11 clerks told me you get 11 or 12 cents off per gallon every x (he said 7 I think) fuel visits when you sign up. In between it drops to 5 cents. Turns out no. You get 11 or 12 cents the first time and after that it’s always 5 cents.
