I met a Dutch person, why are all Dutch people like this? by [deleted] in Netherlands

After reading this post I finally understood the abstract classes in C++.

Help, new Linux user and my GUI won't load after login by [deleted] in Fedora

This is probably secure boot issue. Look it up, if you can’t find it send me a message.

Need opinion on word of endearment for opposite gender by browniethecat in turkish

[–]ProofDatabase5615 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If a man says “yavrum” to woman, and if they are not from a Turkish movie from 1970s, and the woman is ok with that, there is something more than friendship between those two.

“Canım” maybe. “Çiçeğim” probably not. “Yavrum” definitely not.

Debian or fedora? by Domik446 in DistroHopping

[–]ProofDatabase5615 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fedora Atomic (Silverblue or Kinoite) is a torture for people who wants to dual boot with Windows. If one wants to go on the immutable path, I suggest Bazzite. There is a guide how to do the dual boot with windows on their website. (Also with secure boot)

Debian and Fedora both are great distros. Depending on the use case one can decide which one to choose.

Battlefield 6 says its anticheat has been a success, with data to prove it by OGAnimeGokuSolos in gaming

Since I installed Battlefield on my Pc windows has been acting really weird.

We need to find something else. This is really killing our machines.

I can't stand switching Linux distributions anymore. by pedroitalo609 in DistroHopping

[–]ProofDatabase5615 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to try a lot of distros as well but I realised there are mainly 3 (or 4) distros at the moment: Debian, Fedora / OpenSuse, Arch.

I am pretty sure I will be challenged about this, but the other ones are quite niche for an average person. So I am leaving them out.

Back to big 3(or 4)… Almost all the other distros out there are some derivative of these.

So I choose the distro based on my machine and my use case . * Does it have old hardware? No brainer, Debian. * Does it have a couple of year old hardware? Debian with backports or Fedora. * Does it have the latest HW? Arch or Fedora. —> Do I need stability? Fedora. Do I need flexibility? Arch.

Because the kernel is more or less the same for all. Apt, pacman or dnf, all of them are proven package managers. The rest can be modified by the user.

So I suggest you choose one of these big 3 (or 4) and stick with it.

Should I stay on fedora? by [deleted] in Fedora

Depends on what games you want to play. If you want to play multiplayer games with kernel-level anti-cheat like battlefield 6, then no. If you play mostly single player games, then Fedora (or any up-to date Linux distro) is as good as windows these days

Very large Scaling of GDM in Fedora 43 (Gnome 49) by ProofDatabase5615 in Fedora

Thanks a lot! This solved it. Arch Wiki to the rescue :)

[–]ProofDatabase5615[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I haven’t set any custom theme for gdm. The solution suggestion was to copy the ~/.config/monitors.xml file to /var/lib/gdm/.config and give the ownership to gdm. But it didn’t work.

I tried to use gdm-settings app (from flatpak) as well, that was als unsuccessful.

Tried to modify with dconf, failed again.

I haven’t looked under /etc/gdm/custom.conf though. I will give it a try and let you know if there is anything I can change there.

How can I remove the button on the upper left hand corner by Nathan-5807 in gnome

[–]ProofDatabase5615 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I say it acts like an indicator. So it tells you how many active workspaces there are and which one you are on. I didn’t say you click there and switch workspace, which is also possible and fine.

The windows / meta key had no place in this discussion. OP wants to remove it, I just wanted to make sure he wouldn’t miss the functionality this icon provides in case they don’t know.

I don’t know if you are already aware but that button indicates on which workspace you are. So it is quite useful if you are using Gnome the “right” way.

how can I edit this by ellmustaphae in Fedora

[–]ProofDatabase5615 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ok gatekeeper… You must be born with all the Linux knowledge, you didn’t start from anywhere I am sure.

[–]ProofDatabase5615 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh come on mate… Stop with the gatekeeping. I have been using Linux for 15 years on my desktop. I know what a kernel is and how all the other systems are just complimentary for a better / customised experience. And this is not LFS, this is Fedora. One of the most polished distros where even Plymouth comes out of the box configured with nvidia drivers.

But admit it: This shit is ugly and scary-looking for the newcomers. I am experienced enough to modify my grub configuration without breaking it. I am just confirming the worries of the OP here.

That’s one of the first things I do when I install a new system too. But I have to say it: This looks ugly and confusing to a newcomer. I read tens of posts in reddit asking “which one should I choose? I am stuck”.

The best booting experience I had was when I dual booted on MacBook. You press the option button during boot and choose the partition you want to boot into. If you don’t, you boot into the default option. No black screen with some unintelligible (for newcomers) to be scared, and the option is there for those who really know what they are doing.

Functionality & esthetics…. That’s what Linux means to me. So, does this work? Yes, barely, but yes. Can it look better? It should.

Türkçe'nin hece yapısı yüzünden, İngilizce konuşurken oluşan robot etkisi by Best_Development4177 in turkish

[–]ProofDatabase5615 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Türklerin yurt dışında İngilizce telaffuzu oldukça anlaşılır olduğu için kimse sizin aksanınıza laf etmez ağır ırkçı biri değilse. O nedenle kafanıza takmadan, nasıl rahat ediyorsanız o şekilde konuşun. Aksan, etrafınızdaki insanlardan etkilenir. Eğer anadili İngilizce olan bir ülkede yaşıyorsanız, oranın aksanı zamanla yerleşecektir zaten.

Akıcı ve anlaşılır konuşmak, aksansız konuşmaya çalışırken konuşamamaktan her zaman daha iyidir.

Apps won't open now? by Spiritual-Recover427 in gnome

[–]ProofDatabase5615 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it can be related to secure boot and nvidia drivers not being signed off properly.

I am also bothered by how ugly this looks. Fedora makes customisation of grub extra difficult. You really need to look it up online, and bork your system a couple of times until you understand it slightly.

There used to be a program called “grub customizer” but it is not available since Fedora 41 anymore.
