This started happening to my wife and me in 2 separate AMD computers about 3 months ago on Fedora 41,for no apparent reason.
I ended up switching to PopOS and my wife went back to Windows (she was dual booting).
We both came back to Fedora as soon as 42 was live, and have had no issues (yet).
We both use Fedora Workstation on Mutter, not i3, so could have been a different situation.
I’m not French, never been to France, but this is a little step in the right direction. We should be happy and celebrate every one of these little steps. If nothing else, this makes some noise and starts turning heads towards more privacy friendly software.
Thanks for this. I wish more of us posted resources like this one more often.
This blows my mind, honestly. Since I moved to Linux about 8 years ago, I’ve had little to no issues. No force of nature can ever make me go back to Windows and it’s constant crashing for no reason. I run PopOS on a PC, Fedora Workstation on my laptop, my wife is also in Fedora, kids too (Nobara), and everything works. Mind you, the only device that is “made for Linux” is my laptop.
Your experience is very out of the ordinary.
Yeah, KDE’s customization is overwhelming in my opinion. I like my OS like I like my boss: “support me, get out of my way, and let me do my work”. Gnome does exactly that.
I’ve tried it a few times over the years, but always find it clunky when coming from Fedora, so I end up jumping right back. It’s also a real shitshow with my System 76 laptop WiFi, just doesn’t play nice and takes to much work to make it functional.
OpenSUSE is hardly what I would consider noob friendly, but it certainly beats remaining under Microsoft’s oppressing thumb.
This is cool. If you’re worried about the safety on their instance, spin your own. They have a very clear and simple docker way to do just that.
It’s a great looking site at first glance (haven’t signed up yet). I just sandboxed a browser and let it run without forcing HTTPS. Funny thing is that it does show it as being https when disabling https enforcement.
I’ll take it for a spin this afternoon when I get back home (or in my phone when I get bores at the recital my wife is forcing me to go to 🤣🤣🤣).
Unless I remove the “Always use secure connections” it breaks on the cert.
It won’t load places. Heck, won’t even load the default city. And when I’m searching for my city it crashes to wait or force close. In case you’re wondering, it’s the flatpak version on Fedora Workstation.
Are you for real? What makes you think Germans are inherently nazies? And “right after”, just WAO.
Hanna Montana, and you’re good to go.
You’re fucked.
I gives me a sense of happiness when I hear about whole families using Linux only. So awesome.
How will anyone know what they add to the code now? That’s the problem, and with our fucking passwords no less. They can fuck right off. In my environment alone they will be loosing upwards of 3,500 dollars yearly, 700,000 if I can convince my boss to dump them for the company as well.
My kids have never known anything other than Linux. They had to build their own PCs at 6 years old (under my supervision, of course) and they both originally chose Zorin OS at first. Today my daughter is 11 and runs Kinoite on her PC, and Novara on the laptop she uses for school. My son is 9 and wants to move to PopOS (still on Zorin).
My wife was the hardest sell because she was fully intertwined in Microsoft’s BS. So I built her a Nextcloud server, set her up with Fedora Workstation on her PC (her laptop is still on Windows, but she barely uses it now), and she has never complained once. As a matter of fact, she moved from her PC to her laptop last week to complete some work because she had to be out of the house, and came back telling me that she could not stand Windows anymore, so she didn’t get any work done. Unfortunately, for the local tax entity she needs Excel (ridiculous), so she wants me to spin her up a Windows VM in the same server where she has NC so that she can move her laptop to Fedora as well.
So, yeah, my whole house is Linux run exclusively now.
I’ll also keep an eye on it. I really like it’s simplicity, but not allowing me to resize my weather widget to fill the screen horizontally is a deal killer.
The positioning of the icons I can work around, but asymmetric widgets? No way.
In my case, I tinker quite a bit when I’m bored, and immutable distros, as well as atomic distros, raise barriers that I’d rather not have to jump over to have my fill of tinkering.
