A Windows 10 update brought my decent PC to a halt and at that very moment I had enough.

Tnx, I’ll give this one a shot.

I understand fully. When I stumbled upon it, I thought it was just their RPi clone with more powerful hardware (it’s even GPIO compatible). At that point I didn’t have much time to reaseach to what extent it was supported and just assumed at least some general functionallity since it came with Ubuntu and not some random embeded OS. I should have known better, but I do now.
What drew me to it was not the AI stuff, but rather the premise of a decent CPU and GPU package in a small form factor, ideal as an HTPC. And that it was just 7€. You can’t buy anything for that much money, even less a whole ass PC.

They have one official image for the Nano. All others aren’t supported and cause issues unless you hold some packages (which is the method I tried to get 20.04 working). HW acceleration still won’t work.

I am looking for something beyond the official docs that would help.

Oh, ok. That makes some sence. I had a similar issue with Fedora 41 as they didn’t update to a newer version of FFMPEG that fixed some conflicts/issues. I had to download a different video player that shipped with it’s own ffmpeg packaged. Can’t remember the name, but try seeing what’s in the software store. You might be affected by a similar problem.

That is even stranger. My RX6600 has zero issues with 4k 10bit content. Do you watch via browser or ripped dvds?

You could try one of the “gaming” focused distros like Cachy or Bazzite. They do their own tweaks to squeeze more performance out of you hardware. Sadly, many game won’t reach the performance level of Windows, but you can get pretty close, like 85-90% close (depends highly on the game in question, no guarantees).

I second OnlyOffice. I am not a power user of Word, but neither a novice. Things haven’t broken yet and I’ve been editing .docx files for over a year now.

The best way would be to use Qbittorrents web interface. You can drag and drop files and have them start downloading imediately. If you need to do it over the terminal, qbit has an option to watch certain folders for new torrent files. You could then use Samba to transfer files over your local network.

Edit: I skipped over files for printing. Can’t help with that, but my guess would be Samba as well.

ARSENAL Extended Power. An old strategy game from the early 2000s. Still fire it up once a year to mess around.

The Little Mermaid was H. C. Andersen, not the brothers Grimm

What is this book called?

No probs! I checked all the F-keys and non have the session initialized. The logs say that SDDM segfaulted. That’s the last message. I typed it out in the commend above if you want to take a look.

Ehm, what? I am pretty sure you are in the wrong post.

Here’s a fun one. In Serbian an old name is “Godfather’s straw” (straw as in the dry stalks of plants).

I should have provided more details about my setup, but I was kinda hoping that it turns out to be trivial. I am on a desktop PC, AMD gpu, Mesa drivers, one 1440p monitor. Nothing special about the setup. I’ll have a look at the URL you provided and try a few things tomorrow.

F1 is just a blank conosle with a blinking curses and you can’t type anything into it. F2/3/4 open a new terminal from where I can log in, but none seem to have a KDE session running. Gotta check out the other F keys. Just in case none of the work, is there a solution you know of?

I use goodreads to read reviews since they are plenty and longer. But I give ratings and track my progress only on StoryGraph.

My experience from two of his works is that he is fascinated by the west in the same way some westerners are fascinated by Japan as in the meme:

Thing -> boring face

Japanese thing -> face full of awe

Might be wrong though.

My 2 cents. I started with Bazzite and switched to Fedora after some things broke. Fedora works for my use case and I don’t see any reason to switch further. Even upgrading from 40 to 41 worked without hickups.
