Getting a second drive just for windows I think is a good approach. If you were to do so, it’s important that you remove all other drives while installing windows, otherwise the Windows installer will put its boot files into whatever existing EFI partition it finds.

Then using something like https://github.com/Raphire/Win11Debloat you should be good to go with a relatively clean setup.

To have a local account, I use Rufus to setup the usb installer in a way that it automatically creates the local account, and it can also disable the secure boot and tpm requirements from the installer if you want. Though I think rufus is a windows program only. I know there’s the “OOBE” approach for the local account, but I haven’t done that before. That could be an option too

Sections 3.3 or 3.4

I did 3.4 to disable the headset profiles cause generally it’s ass

I have had this happen to me when my monitor turns off before the night shift starts and when I come back let’s say an hour later and the night shift is not on.

Prob has something to do with the monitor being off at the switching time

A tip I saw some time ago is to do:

rm folder -rf

Additionally you could move the git folder to the trash folder. I think it’s usually located at $HOME/.local/share/trash/files/

Then you can delete it from the trash once you’re certain you got the right folder

It mentions it fixed bluetooth issues with certain devices, I wonder if it’s related to what I’m experiencing on regular fedora KDE (and EndeavorOS too) with a kernel version 6.9.3, CachyOS kernel on fedora, Liqourix on EndeavorOS, where my game controller will not connect to Bluetooth unless I restart the bluetooth service or pair the controller again.

With Fedora’s default kernel which is currently 6.8.11 I don’t have this issue. Honeslty I don’t know what’s up, and from a quick search I couldn’t find people with the same issue. I’ll search again later just in case

One pet peeve of mine is how in Windows 10 switching between virtual desktops was flawless, and somehow in Windows 11 they fucked it up. At first it had no animation when switching, the taskbar kind of glitches. Now it has an animation but it’s kind of delayed and the taskbar still kind of glitches, it seems to reload or something. Kinda crazy honestly

mfers raised the yearly price from 80 USD to 100 this year, and then they sent me an email that next year it’ll be 120! a 50% increase in two years, insane.

Essentially since I switched to AMD almost a year ago, and I switched so I could use wayland with freesync lol

I have the adapter from Cable Matters I think and I’m fairly sure it supports VRR at 4:4:4 chroma subsampling. Tested it on a Hisense U8H. I stopped using the adapter though because on Windows it wouldn’t work with VRR, the screen would kind of go black when I moved the mouse. Not sure what it was.

I can confirm on this some time tomorrow

I used DXVK for Dragon’s Dogma on Windows because it ran better overall, vs Directx 9 which the game uses natively.

This was on an AMD Rx 6800 xt

I would say, when playing games, if you get audio crackling, try a different kernel such as Liquorix (https://software.opensuse.org//download.html?project=home%3Ahwsnemo%3Akernels&package=kernel-liquorix). I’ve had that issue on my hardware across multiple distros, and this kernel solves it.

I believe it’s something with a kernel parameter regarding scheduling, specifically as noted in this features list (https://liquorix.net/#features)

High Resolution Scheduling: 1000hz tick rate for precise low jitter task scheduling.

You may or may not get this issue with your hardware, but if you do, then this is something you could try.

Otherwise, great distro, I’m currently on it.

I used it for a while on my laptop and I like that it comes with the BTFRS snapshots by default. I used the KDE Lite version I think it’s called.

Had this issue not long ago, check out this comment:

https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/196187#issuecomment-1774043534

That fixed it for me

Not yet but I will check it out, thanks!

Just between yesterday and today I was struggling with this, to get DoH or DoT working, but Network Manager would override /etc/resolv.conf. At least I figured out how to stop NM from modifying the DNS.

I tried my putting my dns settings in /etc/systemd/resolv.conf, as suggested by Nextdns setup page, but that didn’t seem to work, at least on Tumbleweed. On my Debian laptop running as a headless server, the /etc/systemd/resolv.conf does work.

I’m currently with Stubby, and it’s working at least, but I would’ve liked to figure out the systemd-resolved way on Tumbleweed.

I would say option 3.

I can share my current setup in case you’re interested.

I recently moved back to Tumbleweed, and did the following:

/ -> 50GB, BTRFS, currently 13GB used I think

/home -> 800something GB, BTRFS, same drive

/boot/efi -> 512MB i think, same drive

Then a separate drive mounted to a folder in my home directory, for games mostly.

So far it eworks well, at least for me. BTRFS snapshots are working fine too. Flatpaks I have installed as user so they get installed in my home directory.

Maybe the one suggested in this thread might work for you?

I don’t get ads like this, but I have Win 11 Pro and used Sophia Script to disable as much nonsense as I can.

Here are some options if you’re interested: https://ripped.guide/Utilities/Debloating/

You can install windows to a selected Unallocated Space and it will create its partitions, but if it detects an EFI partition, even in a different drive, it uses that for windows.

Yes, in the Useful Tips section. Lots of other cool notes there:

Have fun!
