That’s amazing!

I get it, I actually use the exact same distros you mention: Pop!_OS, Endeavour and Fedora.
Had the same experience with Pop!_OS: those few things that did not “just work” but needed tinkering caused quite some issues. And yeah, somewhat more bleeding edge than Ubuntu LTS is nice: to use neovim on the 22.04 base, I’d need to use distrobox or build vim from source, but on Fedora and Arch, it “just works”.
I liked Endeavour, though I haven’t really used it with a DE, I went with Sway. So hard to compare, but the manual sysadmin intervention everyone keeps talking about has been minimal. AUR is amazing, pacman is fast and sane.
I went to Fedora because it is bleeding edge enough, but seems better tested and more stable than Arch. Also wanted to see how BTRFS is setup on there and test the rollbacks. The codec stuff has been terrible though. Even after enabling RPMFusion and installing a bunch of them, the Fedora source Firefox still refuses to do video calls in MS Teams. I’m using Flatpak browsers now but downloading flatpak updates is way slower than even the worst package manager for “native” binaries. Feels a bit odd to have to use a Flatpak for the browser.
If I had to install a new pc today, I’d go EndeavourOS with KDE (which I’m using on Fedora now), BTRFS and systemd-boot. I got to know systemd-boot in Pop!_OS and have tried a different boot manager (rEFInd), but systemd-boot is amazing.
Genuine question: what is it about Fedora that keeps you coming back? I have also used Debian based and Arch based distros, as well as Fedora.
Ubuntu does not require the model either. It’s an optional service that Canonical offers. They just market it in a weird way (inside the package manager)
I’ve been trying to explain that choosing to pay for this “extended security service” this is completely unnecessary if you just upgrade your OS every few years.
I was joking by taking him literally… I would say this does not come across well in text but IRL this kind of joke also fails to land regularly
I think the average Mint user is not a wealthy enterprise with tons of systems they don’t want to upgrade so they don’t need to consider this, whether it’s available for their distro or not.
IIRC, Canonical is using Ubuntu to push an “extended security maintenance” program or something like that.
These kinds of services are all the same. RedHat does it, Microsoft does it, many others too probably.
The idea is: (stop reading if any of these don’t apply)
5 kcal per day would change your body drastically? Oof.

Wayland Nvidia compatibility will be here soon™ Nvidia drivers needed explicit sync, which was not supported in Wayland. However, explicit sync has been merged into the Wayland protocol and should be here shortly. Gnome 46.1 already ships with it.
I do not understand fully but maybe drivers need a bit of configuration too to use this? I’m not sure of all the steps but it should be here soon
Could be a (too) old version if you’re still on the Ubuntu 22.04 base
Thank you!
Try it! You can buy a 1:72 model for just a few euros and for a few more, model glue and some acrylic paints. Do use model paints, as general cheap acrylic paints don’t cover small models properly with thin layers!
That’s hilarious! Sauce?
Yes but at least Hue (and IKEA and LIDL and many other brands’) lights work well with open Zigbee coordinators, like deconz and ZHA in Home Assistant.
I wish there were more Zigbee and Zwave and less WiFi IoT devices too. I don’t even have a Zwave coordinator because I never found anything I wanted with Zwave support.
I am like you but a year behind. I hope to get there too at some point. Switched to Linux for the majority of my pc use and a lot of games. But my VR flight sim and the occasional racing is holding me back. I have an HP Reverb G2 (Windows Mixed Reality) headset which doesn’t work very well on Linux (yet?) and an Nvidia RTX 3080.
There doesn’t seem to be an ideal Linux VR setup yet, now that SteamVR still does not work with Wayland. Hoping they’ll fix it and then I can sidegrade to a Valve Index and an RX 6900 XT and be set. I don’t like the complexity and latency of wireless streaming.
My guess would be 3rd line from the bottom: a systemd service named gnome-terminal-server
is being started. Why is it being started?
Maybe it crashed and is set to always restart? Not sure.
It’s a new desktop by the Pop!_OS team, System76. They previously used Gnome extensions but to make a snoother, more performant experience, they have been working on an entirely new desktop environment + toolkit, all in Rust. They call it Cosmic.
The new Cosmic Store is super fast and smooth, perhaps the fastest package manager GUI on Linux desktop.
Check out this speed comparison against GNOME Software: (Cosmic starts around 1:10) https://files.catbox.moe/mzz004.mp4
If you’re on Pop!_OS 22.04 you can already install it with
sudo apt install cosmic-store
.There’s a few other COSMIC apps available but the store is the most usable one right now IMO. The text editor is fun too though. If you’re on another Debian based OS, you can probably add the system76 repo and then install it.
