Any idea where these hundreds of unused Docker volumes came from?

Amazing project, well done HeavyBell!

It’s hard to write and hard to read. The forced joining of every single letter in a word quicky makes it unintelligible unless your handwriting is perfect or you write very slowly

The Nvidia driver has very good performance, and for most usecases it’s… Fine. But it does bring extra hoops and issues. There’s a reason many distros have started to ship the “normal ISO” and the “nVidia ISO”.

The nVidia driver also uses kernel modules, which can interfere with secure boot.

And many modern features are developed for Wayland-only: Mixed refresh rate, mixed fractional scaling, HDR etc. And nVidia is behind on Wayland support, since they only recently decided to cave on and use the same pipeline as AMD/Intel instead of their own.

Sounds like you’ve been very unlucky. Even the open-source Nvidia driver should work out of the box and look OK. Performance is ass, but it’s good enough for a usable desktop experience (usable enough to install the proprietary nVidia driver, which at least on Ubuntu’s are just a few clicks in the GUI)

Instead of going Fedora, try PopOS. PopOS has a special ISO for nVidia graphics. Trying to “install” the Nvidia driver yourself on a live USB boot is not the way to go. I doubt it’s even possible.

I’ve been on (K)Ubuntu, and XBox controllers have literally just been plug and play. I could even use the KDE game controller settings page to compensate for the drift in my left joystick.

Another option is Bazzite, which is a version of Fedora Immutable (“Silverblue”) that comes with all the bells and whistles for gaming, including Nvidia drivers. However the immutable part may or may not be to your taste.

No, not necessarily. Wine programs usually have access to your home directory as a Windows drive (X: or Z: or similar). So do be careful

Can’t recommend TreeStyleTabs enough!

Not only does it trade off precious vertical space for plentiful horizontal space, but also the tabs get organized hierarchical, so when searching and opening multiple tabs , the tabs get grouped naturally

Assuming you’ve tried Gimp, Krita, Inkscape, Blender, Darktable, what your deal-breakers for these open source tool? Any particular missing features?

Renewable energy is literally freedom energy. Geopolitical win for sure

How long have you had the composite deck? How has it stood up to UV? Like is it faded or getting brittle?

Well that’s progress. And yet they removed vertical task manager from Windows 11 😢

My windows laptop is sticking with windows 10 as long as I can, hopefully vertical taskbar is back by the time I’m forced to upgrade. Maybe by then it’s windows 12, continuing the tick-tock release cycle of good and bad Windowses 😂

Also, shoutout to Firefox addon TreeStyleTabs for having vertical tab management

Yeah fingers crossed, I also have one one order, but worried about the PSU

It sucks you had those issues, but it’s good to hear the support team does actually provide support

Flashback to ~2008-2009 when all laptops went from 16:10 to 16:9 and we couldn’t understand why. 16:9 was for TVs and watching movies. 16:10 was for computers to do work.

While it’s true finding 16:9 desktop backgrounds is easier, and watching movies and TVs without black bars is nice, 16:10 is much nice when actually using a computer to do work. Taskbars, toolbars, tabbars, headersbars etc take up a lot of precious vertical space, leaving less space for application content.

Yeah, I think of downvotes as crowdsourced moderation:

Posts made in bad faith, with a toxic attitude or wildly offtopic get a downvote

It’s clickable on Jerboa app too

I’m so torn on this… on the one hand always online DRM “leased” games from what’s effectively a monopoly is bad.

On the other hand… Proton good. Like really really good. Valve has done so much for Linux gaming through their Steam Machine and now Steam Deck initiatives
