Mind the compatibility with the instructions set. Armv7 apps will not work on Armv8 processors and viceversa. That makes it even harder to get the right modded apk.

Use a DNS out of your jurisdiction, preferably a privacy focused one, that issue will go away.

That’s a real brain fuck. Now I need to go research this.

My gut is circular, that’s bullying 🤣

When I look at my gut, I ask myself the same question 😭

I did the same on a PC I built like 10 years ago just because “why not?” 🤣

I’ll watch it right now and come back. BRB.

Edit: now I have to “arrr” that series and watch it. 🤣🤣

There are many reasons Microsoft software is only “good” (and I’m using that word loosely) in business and home settings. Can you imagine a rocket taking off and windows suddenly “rebooting to complete updates” (or whatever it is that it says along those lines)?

Yeah, I’ve no idea what happened either, as I’m not that smart, lol. I just tend to move away from stuff that breaks easily. I searched a bit around to see if I found anyone else with this issue, but found nothing even remotely similar.

Could be that my hardware is the issue? I was running it on a Gazelle 16 (System76) with an RTX3050Ti. But Fedora Workstation has always worked flawlessly on it.

Since Fedora 37 I had issues waking up from sleep and hibernation only on my laptop with an NVIDIA card, never on my 2 Ryzen PCs.

Since Fedora 40 it works everywhere now. I’ve always been on Gnome, so that could be a factor as well.

Here’s the deal, most people from yesterdays started on Ubuntu or something similar. So, they suggest what worked for them. I just moved my wife away from Windows and straight into Fedora, I haven’t had to help her on anything other than once she could not find the printer (it’s on another VLAN and she was not connected to it 🙄). She is loving it and just last night told me, and I quote, “I should have changed sooner”.

Fedora just works, but another factor may be that Debian and Ubuntu based distros are LTS what le Fedora is more semi-rolling, this helps with stability, thus it makes sense to suggest something with less probability of breaking suddenly than something they may need to roll back.

As for atomic distros, YMMV. I find them sluggish during install, boot and when starting an app for the first time, and in my case, broken after a few updates (would not work on Wayland forcing me to log in over X11).

That has not been the case anymore for months. We have 3 different Fedora Workstation 40 computers/laptops and 1 Nobara laptop, and they all sleep and hibernate just fine, and wake up just as well.

That’s to be expected. Linux distros are barely just getting their feet wet in the tablet/mobile world.

I have no use for tablets, but if I did, I’d certainly go the Linux way and deal with whatever I have to before ever thinking to use Apple, Microsoft or any Google OS.

Atomic distros are still fairly new, so I expected issues and was not surprised. There’s been a lot of progress done, sure, but I don’t think we’re “there” yet.

Apparently this one of those YMMV deals. Installation is painless and quick, for sure. And it does work fine (albeit a bit slower than Fedora Workstation when loading and firing up software). But after a few updates, Wayland stops working for some reason and I have to log into x11 instead.

I’ve no idea what the issue is, but I was only trying it, so I just went back to my trusty Fedora.

So fucking convenient that the AAP does not name the publishers in the law suit. Cowards the lot of them.

Nobara is great if you’re into Fedora. PopOS! or Linux Mint if you’re into Debian. Those will take you further way faster and with less pain than any Arch based distro.

Bazzite is a good tinkering distro to get your feet wet into atomic distros, but in my experience, it’s only a matter of time before it breaks. I’ve tried it in 3 different devices, including my steam deck, and they all broke by the 3rd or 4th update.

You and me both.

Very. Pretty affordable and it just works. Granted, I don’t do much streaming or recording off of it, but have been complimented several times in meetings over Zoom, Zoho Meetings and Teams. The highest setting is 1080p@30 and I’ve had no issues at all.

It has a mic, but I don’t recall ever using it as Webcam microphones are known to be horrible.
