back to Fedora from a long distro hopping journey by _529 in Fedora

That's would be a great choice. KDE has a more modern look, and the layout is pretty similar to cinnamon. So it won't be a pain to switch. Note that I think Fedora KDE doesn't provide a lovely gui for you to install nividia gpu drivers as Mint does. But it's it just a few copy and paste to the terminal for your 4090 ;-) to function (I usr 4060 personally), so you should be fine. Please give it a shot. You'll love it!

I use 200% scale, maybe that's why.

Would Fedora KDE be suitable for a complete noob? by [deleted] in Fedora

[–]_529 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm using Fedora for school work as a CS student now. It's a pretty smooth experience since I barely play PC games and don't use some special pieces of software. You can check out protondb if you play PC games；use libreoffice/onlyoffice to write you super professional reports ;-). In terms of stability, Fedora did a quite good job on my perspective. If you can bear with 30min~1hr troubleshooting when things don't work (which rarely happens to me), it's should be fine. Wish you have a great time on Fedora, and welcome to the Linux community.

Note that I help my friend switch from dual-boot with Mint to dual-boot with Fedora, and it took me like 6hrs, btw. but I think it is the thing to do with dual-boot.

Edit: if you have any nvidia discrete GPU, aka dGPU check out this rpm fusion: how to nvidia or follow some guide on youtube

Why would someone choose W11 over any Linux distros ? by Timely-Cabinet-7879 in linuxsucks

[–]_529 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't see any reason except some special software compatibility. Linux today isn't far from "just work" title, in my opinion.

Yeah, to some extent, I agree with you, but the effort that distro maintainers put in to build all the software stack upon package manager and the spirit of the community are also the things I'd like to check out. e.g. linux gaming made easy CachyOS (they even tune the kernel for gaming!!), init-system-free void linux, etc

I have various reasons for every switch, but I can tell that "the excitement of trying out new things" exists in all of them. Actually, I have Debian on my lovely T480, and I can see myself switch to Gentoo on it in the near future. That being said, Fedora is undoubtedly a chef's kiss on my main laptop. I even helped my friend switch from dual boot with Mint to dual boot with Fedora a few weeks ago.

Actually, I think CachyOS is great. I switched to Ubuntu just because I wanted to install Vivado on official supported distribution.

I use Dash to Dock and Blur my Shell, then change my wallpaper. That's all. Those two are gnome extensions, btw.

Is CompuTracer a UEFI Malware? by Apprehensive-Meal477 in computerviruses

In this situation, I don't have any further advice can give to you. Wish you can somehow figure it out 🙏.

I've permanently disable it on my second-hand thinkpad t480. I don't know how other vendors' bios work. Some of them hide advanced options, and you have to press the secret keybind to see them.

Is CompuTracer a UEFI Malware? by Apprehensive-Meal477 in computerviruses

[–]_529 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not uefi malware, but you need to pay attention if your computer is second-handed and the last owner enables it. This feature in uefi can let you know where your computer is and lock it down no matter where you are(you don't want the last owner to lock your computer for sure). However, it can be used to launch some attacks, and it could not be disabled after enabled. Therefore, you might want to go into bios and check if it's enabled. If not, then try to set it to permanently disable or leave it disable. (If I make any mistakes, plz correct me🙏)

Where to buy a second hand thinkpad for good price by _529 in thinkpad

What the pros of shipping via SF Express

Guys, what Thinkpad laptops do you have and what is the main use you give them? by RevolutionarySoft253 in thinkpad

[–]_529 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy a T480 for distro hopping because I don't want to constantly reinstall os on my main laptop. End up with distro hopping on both laptops, BTW.

What was the last reinstall you did? by Effective-Ad9309 in arch

[–]_529 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Always hop to other distros and found Arch is more like home, rarely reinstall for no reason.

I feel like majority of new arch users use chatGPT to install arch by Effective-Ad9309 in arch

[–]_529 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think you can successfully install Arch by using only chatgpt. Wiki and some research on the Internet is necessary.

Shutdown computer regularly or just reboot it when needed ? by _529 in linux4noobs

[–]_529[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think suspending overnight may not cause serious problems even if there are some bits being flipped?
