  • Any of the ostree variants of Fedora, be they Fedora Official or downstream ones like the Universal Blue family

  • the age of the device put me off, it still runs android 11 as well apparently. I wouldnt want to buy one now and then a refresh comes out

  • how does it go for codec support out of Jellyfin? I'm starting to collect and also rip AV1 content, which is fine for computers and phones (and my newer TV does it natively), but trying to find a streambox that wouldn't need to transcode it is proving harder than expected

  • so they put wine/proton in a container runtime of some sort, coupled with box86?

  • Any chances you guys could suggest me one setup that “just works” no ifs and no buts? Or does it not exist in the Linux world?

    You've given so little insight into your experience

    My most recent hardware has been fine

    • My framework 13 amd works perfectly with Fedora Kinoite.
    • My Minisforum UM780XTX has been a great Steam console with Bazzite
    • My desktop is a gigabyte x570 board with a ryzen 3700X and a 5700XT GPU, has been solid for years, running Fedora KDE and then Kinoite.
    • My workstation at work is a HP 845 G11 and it works fine, also running Fedora Kinoite

    In the past I've had thinkpads (an X1 carbon and a T485), also good choices

    Over my 12 years of using Linux as my daily for work and home (and about 13 years of fiddling with it on and off before that), avoid realtek hardware, avoid nvidia gpus, avoid switchable graphics, avoid strange OEM feature devices. Check hardware for compatibility before you buy it. Stick to mainstream distros, not niche 1 man community distros. I've moved to immutable/atomic distros because they are harder to tinker with outside of user space, as historically tinkering is what got me into trouble, now I do that in a container away from my base OS.

  • I am always confused that such a stale distro is so highly recommended

  • Australia bans social media for under 16s

  • I work tech in schools (in Australia) there are definitely tech savvy enough kids that will probably spool up their own fediverse instances

    maybe back during the plasma 4 days, this meme needs to go away

  • not a doctor, but its probably the change in hormones that cause the refactory period that changes the response for round 2

  • Git good, son

  • As a chronic premature ejaculator, just get good with your tongue and pushing past the refactory period to go for round 2 (which lasts ages 👍)

    Fedora KDE Desktop promoted to an Edition, same as Fedora Workstation

    Jump

  • if you're already a Fedora KDE user not much, but if you're coming to Fedora for the first time the options on the Fedora page will put forward a KDE version next to the standard Gnome workstation, instead of hiding it on the spins page. Although internally the KDE version has been a mostly "first class citizen" (eg bugs in KDE spin has been release blocking), it will appear that way from a marketing perspective

  • Why openSUSE is the perfect OS for handhelds

    Jump

  • Have you considered Bazzite? Similar to Nobara, but it's immutable. You can treat it like an appliance and even updates itself

  • VR gaming on linux in 2024

    Jump

  • I have an OG Vive, it works fine. I have more issues wrestling with the flatpak version of steam's steamVR components than with the actual hardware

  • Why openSUSE is the perfect OS for handhelds

  • good if they're gaming on old hardware I am sure. Mint lacks modern feature enablement and it baffles me that people keep recommending it
