  • Thanks for your detailed reply.

    1. The solution for setting the clock seem to work! Awesome.

    2. I don’t have kWallet enabled but saving the password as unencrypted in the network settings.

    3. Hmm, I just installed akmod-nvidia.x86_64 with dnf. Tried to run nvidia-settings in terminal. I get this error:

    ERROR: NVIDIA driver is not loaded
    
    (nvidia-settings:14910): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 14:10:49.551: g_object_unref: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
    
    ** (nvidia-settings:14910): CRITICAL **: 14:10:49.552: ctk_powermode_new: assertion '(ctrl_target != NULL) && (ctrl_target->h != NULL)' failed
    
        1. I guess I need to hop distro again! :( But it will probably be faster than fixing






  • I have the same experience as the author you just replied to. While some of what you are saying is true, I have never had everyday issues like these on windows. I switch to Linux once a year to change things up. Mint, arch, Debian… A few major issues I experience

    • login screen just freezes after standby
    • wifi not automatically recognizing what settings e.g. security protocol my work wifi uses
    • external monitors not working
    • updates just breaking my whole OS or not working

    These are essentials, not something I can simply learn to live with or fix on the fly.

    Would love to switch! I can get through work without proprietary software so that’s not the issue.












  • It depends on what sort of experience you want, what roads you drive, whether it’s mostly country or city, do track running etc.

    I like manual more for various reasons. I don’t do much city driving nor do I get stock in heavy traffic ques. I drive country roads and highways and do a few track days. With a manual I get a much more satisfying experience, as it requires more skill to make fast and/or smooth shifts. The tactile feel of the manual gear shifter makes me feel more connected to my car. Flappy pads shifting automatic doesn’t require the same skill nor has the same tactile feel. It’s awesome for city and ques though.

    I don’t think we have the same idea of what it means to be connected with the car. Most EVs aren’t seeking to have you drive them, they are seeking to drive you, imho (except maybe the Hyundai N range thats coming, but only because it tries to manic cars).
