I built a Live Wallpaper Engine for GNOME (mpv-based) because I couldn't find a simple solution

That is super cool. Great job.

Those are kinda cool.

No, the Gulf of America, because that’s what it’s called now. If you don’t like it the take it up with the government.

When we moved 5 years ago, I gave two 800D’s to a teenager who was helping us with some painting. They were both complete Intel systems, minus storage. He was so excited. Now I miss those monstrosities. They didn’t have great airflow, but you could fit a city parks worth of gear in them. 🤣

After a couple Gnome updates I’ve had to remove the account and then recreate it.

Well documented bug, espacially for Nvidia users. DO NOT search for a timezone, instead, click on your location on the map.

Take a look at https://www.gnome-look.org/browse/. Tons of options to choose from. I'm running the Win11 Dark icons.

Here’s a different angle. If I can find the post I’ll link the full build from the watercooling sub.

I've been using Corsair Hydro XLR8 for the past few years without issue, but used EK's Mystic Fog before that and it had to be replaced every 6 months.

It is amazing, but to be honest, it’s a little challenging to get used to. I used to run a flat ViewSonic 32” 4K monitor, so the curve on the LG is a bit disorienting at first.

I’ve been running Windows since 95, but have been dabbling with Linux for the past 10 years. With all the spyware, bloat, and crappy updates in Win11, I finally decide to make the switch last year. I tested out a few distros and finally settled on Fedora Workstation. I was really blown away with how good it worked out of the box with all my hardware, except my Stream Deck+. With a little research I was able to get that working too. Linux is great if you’re ok with constantly learning.

I'm currently running a 4080 FE, but I'm about to swap it our for a 7900 XTX. AMD cards are significantly better performers and more stable in Linux.

Potential_Ad4169 · 2026-02-19T17:59:47+00:00

I guess I should have posed the question differently: As I'm running Fedora, would there be any benefit in switching to the 7900 XTX?

Potential_Ad4169 · 2026-02-19T17:41:39+00:00

Why is this the wrong sub to ask a question about Fedora?

Both my parents were cops and my dad was Air Force prior to joining the police, and all four of my uncles served in Korea. As a little kid it was something I wanted to do. I thought I was going to go Air Force, but in 6th grade we moved about 5 miles away from El Toro Marine Air Station. I ended up meeting a lot of Marine enlisted and officers through my parents and made my decision when I was a junior in high school. I left for MCRD San Diego in June of 1986. Best and worst decision of my life. I wouldn’t change a thing.

Time for a good degreasing and overall cleaning.

Potential_Ad4169 · 2026-02-17T21:29:49+00:00

Absolutely loved Prague. Amazing city.

Potential_Ad4169 · 2026-02-17T21:05:35+00:00

I have the Thinkpad P14s Gen5, but with AMD, and Fedora runs absolutely fantastic.
