Mh, I’m afraid I’m out of ideas. Would be super interested in knowing if you find out what’s the problem, though …

Completely forgot about Gnosia, need to pickit up again.

If everything else fails, their Discord (I know 🤢) is usually pretty helpful …

Are you sure you’re using the right ISO? I’ve run into problems when installing and at least once it was because I chose the image for current NVDIA GPUs on a system that needed the old ones. (I guess you did disable Secure Boot and maybe other stuff in BIOS for the install?)

I’m in a similar situation atm and have also been looking at Thinkpad x13 as well as x390 and older Dell XPS models. I’m a bit afraid that 8gb of RAM might be not enough in the future (afaik most of these have soldered RAM) but so far I did not run into problems with 8gb on my current laptop. Generally Thinkpads and XPS have very good Linux compatibility from what I heard.

ARM and Intel should both work well, I think (this might change for newer computers in the future since Intel let go a lot of their Linux devs in 2025 iirc).

Been a happy Bazzite users for over a year. Not much of a gamer but NVIDIA drivers that don’t require tinkering during updates (like with immutable Fedora) and being able to just use the old install until broken updates (sleep mode maybe once?) is sooooo convenient! Also people on their Discord (yeah, I know …) are generally super helpful.

Oh, interesting, I did nit think of that, thanks!

+1 for Masto over Pixelfed, I have accounts on both and Pixelfed is basically a (very janky) “Mastodon but only image posts but also a whole lot of bugs and terrible UI”. The comment feature on Pixelfed is godawful (one of the worst I’ve ever seen), things like following or muting hashtags sometimes just error out etc. Never had anything similar on Mastodon ever.

I was just about to comment exactly the same!

Cory Doctorow could have told you that 15 years ago (but it’s not like anybody who needs to hear this will listen to it anyways).

Interesting, I would love a service that periodically checks my wishlist in Steam to see which of them is available on GOG, but could not find anything, do you perhaps now something like that?

“I have seen things.”

I just wanted to post this, personally I really like NoClip and this is one of the most personal documentaries they’ve done, so far, I think. The Dwarf Fortress brothers seem really cool, so humble and unpretentious (and giant nerds, obviously 😸)

Yeah, you have to be super blind ethically to not understand that this is a highly fucked-up idea to come up and then follow through with (not that I’m surprised).

I prefer Resources but I like Mission Center as well. Plasma’s System Monitor has come a long way as well.

You’ve tried that KDE tiling addon / app and it’s not for you, I guess?

“Even behind” 🍿

Well, are they on the fediverse?
