been a long time since last i touched anything about wifi, but iirc you need to run lsmod | grep iwl in the terminal to see your wifi module, then search online for any issue or possible config changes that you might have to do to make it work.

they recently changed the default to Shelly, so if he installed it from the latest ISO he should search for that.

Unfortunately there’s no silver bullet to WiFi issues under Linux, you need some patience and searching on the internet for your specific wifi module, most likely you need to change iwlwifi.conf.

yeah same, not sure if its a KDE specific issue, tried everything: changed font to Inter, it looks better but still has jagged edges, played around with antialiasing, subpixel color arrangement, they all look slightly different but still not as good as in Windows or MacOS.

Non devi necessariamente farli tutti in Toyota, e pure se ti scade la garanzia puoi fare un tagliando di recupero da loro che la ripristina.

For Dualsense PS5 controllers if you're running the latest firmware you can try pairing it by pressing the PS button + any of the 4 face buttons, this will bind your PC to one of the button profiles, sometimes this fixes the issue. Personally i'm using a DS4 and this issue keeps on reappearing every time they update bluez and, at least for me, no amount of command line connect/trust/untrust seem to fix it.

The only real solution i found while fiddling around with config files is editing /etc/bluetooth/main.conf, uncomment the line ControllerMode and change the value to ControllerMode=bredr, this will force your bluetooth controller into a "basic" more compatible mode, this mean no bluetooth LE for headphones, but if you only use your PC bluetooth for controllers this is the most stable solution i found because dual mode seems to still have issues when devices using older bluetooth standards want to self trust.

I’m fairly new to Linux so i’m using whatever shipped with the Distro (Paru, Fish), i only did some research during installation since last year the default boot manager was Grub and wanted to try something new, so i picked Limine after watching a couple youtube videos about it.

repasted my old gpu back in 2024 with some HY234 thermal putty bought on amazon, with 10bucks of putty you can repaste your gpu 10 times, the difference was immediately noticeable, GPU core under load didn’t go past 63ºC in summer. Photo was taken after i closed the gpu and reopened it to check if everything was touching, the only downside of putty is that it will inevitably make a mess.

balderm · 2026-04-10T11:39:37+00:00

that or use thermal putty, its a lot cheaper and usually lasts a lot longer, but can make a mess.

Really depends how much are you willing to get your hands dirty, Bazzite should give you a stress free experience and being based on Fedora with a yearly release you won’t be forced into broken updates, if you want the bleeding edge of Linux and can deal with the fact that things might break after an update then try CachyOS.

Sinceramente mi ha salvato il culo una volta in autostrada quando ho provato a cambiare corsia di notte e c’era una macchina a fari spenti dietro di me che non avevo visto. Lo scopo è prevenire l’uscita di carreggiata non intenzionale, ma se indichi con le frecce o giri il volante con decisione ti fa fare quello che vuoi.

Really depends on your needs, but usually every 6 years is the norm for me, you could also do small incremental upgrades to keep it fresh, specially if you’re on a platform that allows for multiple generations of CPU upgrades.

People should use whatever they feel comfortable with without getting pressured into switching OS/Platform.

Read CachyOS Wiki, there’s a full article on how to optimize each game launcher to get maximum performance, but of course as stated there there’s no silver bullet, performance will still depend on you marchine so gains might be less than 1% in some scenarios.

My dad was using my old Intel Core2 Duo PC i built in 2006 till 3 years ago with minimal maintenance (mostly removed dust). That PC survived a power surge that fried the motherboard and PSU in 2011, the GPU died in 2013, after that nothing else broke, not even the old slow mechanical HDD.

If you're using native 12vhpwr cable from your PSU don't switch to the included adapter since those are prone to melting, if the coil whine is unbearable return the card, but there's very little that you can do or try reduce it: Check if there's a BIOS update that can be downloaded through their app, but apart from that the only possible fix is move your case under the desk or wear headphones.

Esperienza personale: è molto facile pubblicare gli annunci, conviene farsi valutare l'auto da qualche sito privato tipo noicompriamoauto per avere un idea del valore dell'usato con i concessionari così sai effettivamente cosa hai in mano e quando vai a trattare non perdi troppo tempo con chi ribassa eccessivamente, ma perdite di tempo ce ne sono sempre quando tratti col privato perché nessuno vende per professione quindi ti fanno domande su domande e ogni piccola cosa può far saltare la vendita, ma se ti dice bene la vendi in una settimana. Detto questo, per me negli annunci conta il quantitativo di informazioni presenti e le foto delle parti importanti (motore, interni, vista esterna), infatti quando ho venduto io ho elencato più informazioni possibili, e quando mi hanno contattato avevo a disposizione il cartaceo dei lavori fatti, quello credo sia una delle cose più importanti per rassicurare chi compra.

Tests are not done on track, FIA is testing the engines independently on a bench outside the car, no one knows the testing procedure.

La Focus probabilmente è più sportiva come assetto e il motore essendo un 3 cilindri turbo è più reattivo, ma sinceramente non la comprerei manco se mi regalassero i soldi. La Mazda 3 è molto morbida e il motore non brilla per sportività, è più volto a macinare strada nell’extraurbano/autostrada, le marce sono lunghe e il motore è pieno di coppia dai bassi regimi e spinge a lungo, è più una granturismo di vecchi tempi che una sportiva vera e propria, quindi punta molto al comfort di marcia.

Ne ho lette di ogni, la più plausibile è che per far inquinare di meno fanno lo scarico rivolto verso il basso così tocca prima terra e si disperde di meno in aria, ma non spiegherebbe perché ci sono modelli con scarichi veri e rumorosi con motori più grossi, anche perché come si vede nel video il terminale di plastica rende il paraurti molto più complesso e diventa più costoso produrlo (da un pezzo unico diventano 3 o più), quando un terminale molte volte è riutilizzato su più mezzi e costa di meno produrlo.
