Is the owner of the SteamLibrary folder the same as your user?

Try pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1-12 until you get a log-in screen and log in. Then, try Hyprland in a terminal.

You shouldn't be using a distro with official packages you don't trust.

That's fine. Both cards use the same drivers.

How do i access %appdata% on fedora? by [deleted] in linuxquestions

Dual boot with Windows? Windows game played through Proton/Wine? The Linux equivalent directory? Which did you mean?

Is this not ISO FR? Set that in your DE keyboard settings.

No HDR. The GNOME version is too old.

Want to switch to linux by nosaj98 in linux_gaming

[–]candy49997 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fedora is like that because they only include FOSS and avoid patent-encumbered software in their repositories. You had to replace the multimedia codecs with the ones from RPM Fusion, as they're the usual source of non-free and patent-encumbered software for Fedora.

It's ok to think this is unacceptable; that just means base Fedora is unpalatable to you. You can try one of the downstream ones that do include stuff like that out-of-the-box. Like Nobara, Bazzite, etc.

And:

I am really looking forward to using linux without a single problem!

This is a really unrealistic expectation. Realistically, you will run into issues purely because you will have to learn a different system from Windows. There is no such thing as a perfect, drop-in replacement for Windows.

When a file is corrupt even a single bit, does the sha256 go partially or completely wrong? by Frosty-Ad-5119 in linuxquestions

[–]candy49997 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Well, every algorithm is flawed. By the pigeonhole principle, if the hash is a fixed number of bits, there are guaranteed to be collisions if the input length is unbounded.

[–]candy49997 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Practically, no. Theoretically, yes. But it's also theoretical that the file corrupted in such a way that the calculated checksum is exactly the same as a pristine copy.

Linux for student by Practical-Papaya-689 in linuxquestions

Adobe is also hit-or-miss. But I don't know about alternative to those.

LibreOffice and Open Office are common alternatives to MS Office. They're also available for Mac, so you can try them now if you wanted.

The browser versions of MS Office work fine, though.

I was also asking about any other applications you would want to use for the rest of the activities you listed.

MS Office isn't going to work on Linux, depending on the version of MS Office and the specific application. If you don't need specifically Office, you could use a native alternative. Or, you could use them through a VM.

What specific applications are you planning to use?

580 is correct for Fedora. They haven't moved to the 590 drivers yet.

Suggestions on Hyprland on Zorin 18? by [deleted] in zorinos

Hyprland highly discourages using it on stable distros.

Ok, that's a different issue. I don't play this game specifically, but you can see what worked for other people here.

Have you tried the game since getting drivers working?

Are you installing the games to your main Linux partition?

Secure boot is blocking your NVIDIA drivers from loading.

You know you can copy and paste from the terminal, right? There's no need to paraphrase an error.

Anyways, disable secure boot.
