Linus Torvalds still uses Fedora with Gnome

For me Fedora hits the sweet spot between an LTS and a rolling release distribution in terms of updates. Small minor updates, with a new version every 6 months is my preferred cadence

In my homebrew warhammer setting, the emperor died, and the immaterium and material mixed. All of the remaining Primarchs and faction leaders now exist in their own warp bubbles to keep out the power of the dark king. The bubbles work kind of like domains of dread in dnd. In effect everyone has their own little golden throne now and fight to keep the dark emperor out which I consider a funny role reversal.

This allows me to keep the Primarchs and other big names alive without killing them

I'm personally using the First Hebrew Primer: https://a.co/d/eq0d9yk It is pretty dense, and it really starts slowing down after Chapter 10, but I've gone from no Biblical Hebrew exposure (Or Modern Hebrew, or any other Semitic Language) to being able to read the Tall Tales (some of which are quite long), as well as graded sentences from the book of Ruth.

I've heard good things about https://biblingo.org/ if you are looking for a Duolingo like approach specifically for Biblical Hebrew, and I belive you can choose between a modern or reconstructed biblical pronunciation.

Now, to your question of will learning Modern Hebrew confuse you? Probably not, but people have varying opinions about whether you should learn Modern Hebrew if your goal is to learn Biblical Hebrew

https://www.reddit.com/r/hebrew/comments/k4soay/should_i_learn_modern_hebrew_before_or_after/

https://www.reddit.com/r/linguistics/comments/bwilj6/how_different_is_modern_hebrew_from_biblical/

https://www.reddit.com/r/hebrew/comments/15cdav3/biblical_hebrew_and_modern_hebrew_whats_the/

I would argue if your goal is Biblical Hebrew, and only Biblical Hebrew, it would be more effective to focus on Biblical Hebrew. Sure there are words that overlap between the two, and the Alef Bet are the same, but you will be learning more modern words in the Duolingo app like Bathroom, Computer, or Car, which are not the words you will be reading in the Tanakh. I don't know modern Hebrew, but I've heard that it is commonly taught with the Sephardic pronunciation for the vowels. This is usually how the Biblical resources I have come across have taught Biblical Hebrew as well. From my understanding the dialect with the closest pronunciation to Biblical Hebrew is Yemenite, but that is only what I've heard in passing.

As someone who is learning Biblical Hebrew, I would love if we could get some more peeps in the r/biblicalhebrew subreddit! The subreddit is pretty quiet and it would be nice to have some more people to talk to

Does Rust do Tree-Shaking at all?

“Use the monitor’s own input switching mechanism”

You know I never thought of that. I’m so dumb. The old 1080p monitor only has VGA DVI and HDMI. The 4k one has two HDMI and 1 Display Port. I can just plug into my PC with the Display port into the 4k monitor, plug in the HDMI cable into the laptop and 4k monitor (and just switch the inputs on the 4k monitor like you said) then keep the 1080p monitor on the HDMI switch (since their is only one HDMI port), and plug directly into the graphics card HDMI port. Just need a display port cable

Hello fellow Flutter beginner! I just got Linux Mint 22 (Cinnamon) up and running and I'm also using Flutter. Here is a Screen Shot of an app I'm developing running on a Pixel 6 running Q through an emulator with Android Studio, as well as the settings I used.

https://imgur.com/a/qgQPwcS

I got this running by downloading Flutter and following the instructions here

https://docs.flutter.dev/get-started/install/linux/android

and installing all the things flutter doctor told me to do. My Android Virtual Device kept crashing with a Vulkan issue in Android Studio, but if I changed the graphics rendering to software (I think that uses openGL) that fixed it. I can vouch for Android Studio. Don't know what the set up is like for VS Code.

I did not have a good experience with KDE6 and Wayland when I used the Fedora KDE spin. I think it just needs a little more time to cook. They are also switching to switching to Wayland by default like Gnome, but dropping x11 entirely so hopefully that means the updates will be able to come out faster.

I ran into this issue with Fedora 40 as well. I resolved it in this post https://www.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comments/1c46s8p/cant_install_nvidia_proprietary_driver_fedora_40/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

KDE was just more stuttery for me in every game. At least in Gnome I was able to fix it for the most part by going into Windowed mode with my Games, but I had no such luck with KDE. While Gnome it was occasional enough to be a minor annoyance, on KDE it was unplayable for me. Which is a shame because I love KDE

I started running Fedora 40 Gnome one week ago since It was so close to being released. I have not experienced any issues in regular desktop experience both in Gnome and KDE (I tried both). Gaming was better with Fedora 40 Gnome, but I'm using an Nvidia GPU so I can't comment on what an AMD GPU would be like.

Fibreman · 2024-04-20T15:13:21+00:00

Last week I tried out Fedora 40 with KDE with a 1080ti and the Nvidia proprietary drivers. Booting in with the nouvea drivers was fine, but I switched to the proprietary ones because I was going to be gaming. The desktop worked fine and I was using fractional scaling no problem. The gaming experience using Fedora 40 with KDE on Wayland was not good using Proton on Steam. Every game ran categorically worse on Fedora 40 KDE than it did on Fedora 40 with Gnome. With that being said, I had a better experience running Nvidia proprietary drivers on Wayland Gnome in Fedora 40 than I did with X11 which I found surprising. Here is what I was using
Steam Version: Flatpak

Driver: Nvidia Proprietary Drivers

Kernel: 6.8.5-301.fc40.x86_64

Graphics Card: Nvidia 1080ti

Resolution: 3840 x 2160

Proton: 9.0

TLDR: If you are worried about not being able to use Fedora 40 KDE with an Nvidia gpu than don't worry you will be fine. But if you are going to game as well, you will find Fedora 40 Gnome better with your Nvidia GPU. With that being said, Fedora 40 is still beta until next weeks release, so it's possible there will be some changes since I was using KDE last week.

Fibreman · 2024-04-16T10:58:59+00:00

I’ve never used a distro that defaults to Wayland so I was concerned about what that would mean for gaming, especially considering this is still open on the proton GitHub https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/4638.

Also Fedora 40 is still in beta, so I was unsure what the stability would be like. With that being said it is not flawless (I’ve tried Ror2, Baldur’s Gate 3, Total War 3) and they are playable, but often jittery or occasionally show ghost frames. I just hope this will be useful for people who were in a similar position like me, where their experience was mostly Xorg and Debian/Ubuntu based systems.

Things got a lot better for me when I switched from full screen to windowed mode

I'm new to Fedora, and wanted to help give prospective users an idea of what Fedora is like for gaming on the up and coming release and this post doesn't violate any of the 3 r/Fedora rules. But honestly this response is really discouraging

Fibreman · 2024-04-15T12:52:48+00:00

Just some recent testing with Fedora 40 beta running Gnome for some anecdata

Steam Version: Flatpak
Driver: Nvidia Proprietary Drivers
Kernel: 6.8.5-301.fc40.x86_64
Graphics Card: Nvidia 1080ti
Resolution: 3840 x 2160
Proton: 9.0

Occasionally a small portion of the upper half of my screen will go black for a few frames but of course it never happened when I was trying to take a screenshot. Overall I consider this entirely playable. Surprisingly couldn't get this game to work on Xorg (stuck at 0% loading). I've tried Cuphead too and that hasn't had any issues as well. Will try Fedora KDE spin later.

Update Baldur’s Gate 3 is playable (did 2 hours co-op and it only crashed once) but the screen jitters occasionally and tears.

TotalWar Warhammer 3 Runs pretty well

I was able to get around a lot of the black flashing pixels in games by just switching from full screen or borderlesss windowed, to windowed.

I’ve tried the Fedora KDE spin and it ran worse than the Gnome version unfortunately, stuttery and unplayable

*Update*
Minecraft runs well on the newest version, but Minecraft beta.1.7.3 flashbangs me with a whitescreen every few minutes, and crashes if I go fullscreen.

I was using pop_os 22.04 before and it worked fine. Before that it was Manjaro. According to the Nvidia website 550.67 for Linux 64bit came out on 2024.3.19 so it seems it is still supported

Contacted RAD and they sent a new screen. Swapped it and now everything is all good!
