• Bluetooth problems on Pop_OS!

  cross-posted from: sh.itjust.works/post/64544544 Hi everyone! I’ve been a happy Gnome and Fedora Silverblue on a Surface Go user but I’m always happy to learn about new DE’s in Linux. After trying and hating KDE on my Steam Deck desktop mode, I wanted to see if Cosmic would be the perfect middleground and installed it on my wife old MacBook Pro 2012 which was previously running Fedora Workstation flawlessly. After some light struggles with Ventoy, I managed to install Pop_OS! 24.04 and e...

• (Solved) Sometimes, my computer is very slow and sometimes really fast. Fedora 43.

  Hi everyone! My daily driver is a Surface Go 1 running Fedora with 8GB of ram and 128GB of storage. It is always hooked up to a Philips 273B screen via USB-C. Most of the time, it is really fast and a perfect tiny Linux and Gnome machine easily hookable to a big screen for when you’re not travelling. However, sometimes, after installing updates but maybe not always, it is slow as hell. Sometimes, detaching the Surface from the big screen and hooking it again, solves the issue, but not alwa...

• Can't display HEIC pictures in file explorer in Fedora Silverblue and Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS

  Hi everyone! Everything is in the title. I can’t open pictures taken from my work iPhone (HEIC and also used for family pictures) on Fedora Silverblue 44 and Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS. For Silverblue I’ve tried a lot of stuff like: rpm-ostree install libheif-tools rpm-ostree libheif-freeworld (getting unknown command) rpm-ostree install …rpmfusion.org/…/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm rpm-ostree install …rpmfusion.org/…/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm r...

  I fully agree! In Mass Effect 3 you really feel like a part of the crew! In the others too but a tad less. Still walking around the ship has always been a pleasure that I haven’t really found in any other game.

  The Mass Effect trilogy is so great and the Legendary Edition is perfect on Steam Deck. You can even lower the TDP to improve battery life and still get good graphics. I rep’ayed them a few months ago and I was real’y impressed by the scale of it. To be honnest, Mass Effect is some kind of Cyberpunk 2077 with better gameplay and story. People don’t like the third one, but for me it was the best one.

• Advice for Linux media center

  Hi everyone! In the next year or so, my project is to rip all my blurays and put them on a 4tb external USB hard drive. I’ve already done it for all my DVDs, but I still have to buy an external bluray player in order to finish the job. My budget for the bluray player is CHF 75.- used, so around 75$. All this is done through MakeMKV. Then, I’d want to have a small Linux PC that I’d use as a media center. My budget is under CHF 100.-, so around 100$. I’ve noticed that you can get 2014 MacMinis...

• Same distribution, but different DE. Wifi works in one, but not in the other.

  Hi everyone! I’ve been enjoying Gnome for the last 5 years, mainly in Fedora Workstation. Lately, I’ve been feeling a scratch to try something else after a few annoyances with notifications or the file manager. I’ve also been using KDE in Steam OS on my Steam Deck, but something doesn’t feel right even if I managed to reproduce my Gnome workflow in it. I thought that Cosmic could be the perfect middle ground and I wanted to dual boot it alongside Fedora Workstation on my second computer, a...

• Post #416917

  Hi everyone! I’m a 90% satisfied Gnome user only looking for more customization possibilities. I had tried KDE on a VM, but, since I have a Steam Deck (Steam OS), I thought I should try to fully make it usable as a computer in case I’d need it. I kind of managed to recreate the Gnome workflow where you switch between workspaces. I’ve also set up kwin rules telling, for instance, Firefox to open on workspace No 2 on startup. I don’t know why, but that doesn’t work for 2 of my main appli...
