Yeah, that’s a kde thing, so I doubt it would be very different than neon.

I’m quite happy with Fedora. It has kde support, many apps (especially with rpmfusion), and is quite stable because it is still a 6 month ish major release schedule. Wobbly windows, kde connect, and krunnuer will definitely work. Good customization is subjective, and honestly I consider c/unixporn to be weird but cool wizardry, but I’m happy with it. One thing to consider is if you have a newer amd CPU with an iGPU being used it will get slow and crash every now and then (few months). It’s a bug in the linux kernel starting around 6.10.

The Ender 3 Pro looks good, but I am a bit worried about the DIY aspect of it. I normally like DIY stuff, but since I am new to 3d printing, I want to isolate the number of things I have to learn. Is it too hard to set up, and does everything you need (apart from filament) come in the box or will I need to get other things?

I misread that and thought Wayland went in a very different direction for a second.

I just use chromium when needed. Not ideal but usually works in place of chrome.

You do that? I just slam my hand into a different part of my keyboard and try to keep the different cjsbbfhzjksb’s separate. (I typed this on mobile, so my fudjevfkcbw’s aren’t the most accurate).

Yep.

C programming language also uses STD in a lot of the standard library names (short for standard). I wonder if the creators of both didn’t realize when they named it or did and thought it was funny. My bet is the latter.

The monitor’s on the other side of the desk. It could be the issue but it doesn’t affect my phone or laptop which are closer to the monitor. I will mess around with aluminum foil because that sounds wonderfully janky.

Edit: foil around cable and GPU io fixed it. It is up to about 3/4 of speed with monitor unplugged, which is a massive improvement and perfectly usable. Thanks so much for the suggestion.

Debian and Fedora. I use Debian on servers and Fedora on my desktop and laptop.

That is an interesting use case. If I have interpreted your post correctly, you want to boot from a flash drive into a generic default OS or a persistent and encrypted / password protected OS. Doing that on one operating system is quite difficult as far as I know. However, you could dual boot two Fedora installs on one drive (I chose it because it’s what I use and I remember that you can set up encryption in the install. You could use whatever.). Basically, flash the installer to the drive you want to use, and to a second drive. Boot into the second drive and flash fedora onto the free space in the first drive, and enable encryption when prompted. The installer is a live boot (at least on the KDE spin) and will functions as the amnesic one. The other will be password protected and remember changes.

After cycling the battery properly the health is showing 91% and has been working well all day. It’s almost like fixing the problem was a good idea.

It is under warranty, but there’s a slightly higher capacity one I might get instead. Thanks for the explanation for how it could have actually failed.

The battery that has been consistently working fine for several months went from 95 to 40 percent battery health in a day? I’d rather like to meet your dealer; they’ve got some good stuff.

65w. enough to run a 7600 and an igpu. i set it to performance but returned it to balanced after. what reset process?

no, drains insanely fast. I think it’s limiting itself to 43% charge.

also have an arc and I found it better than even amd considering it had easy opencl support.

framework may be worth considering, but definitely expensive considering what you need from it.

this is a file permission issue, nothing to do with LUKS. The solution should be to access the files as root. You could use the command “Sudo chmod a+rwx /path/to/drive” to set completely accessible file permissions, which is not a best practice typically, but would be fine here since the drive’s encrypted.

I would recommend fedora with kde. Kde is my go to desktop recommendation, and it is (iirc) developed a lot in germany, so support for that should be good.
