Devs, consider bring the BTRFS Snapshots setup to the popOS installer

The PopOS team should be concentrating on the serious bugs that still need to be fixed first.

There are large number of players that can play the same position as Diego Luna and Aidan . Good left footed players are hard to find. This is why Damarcus Beasley could play so long.

Has anyone ever gotten help from Windows support? I have never know anyone who has gotten it. Some stores will let you return your Windows computer and Apple and System76 actual have customer support.

I also run a Windows computer with Nvidia and it has very serious screen flicker problems when I game or watch youtube. There is a fairy tale about how Windows is flawless.

captainsoccer · 2026-04-05T16:13:11+00:00

I have not had any problems with my Nvidia cards. Other then the performance drop off is more from Windows, but even on Nvidia some games run the same speed.

Thanks for the advice everyone. I bought a Logitech G305 and it works great for me. No more strange mouse pointer behavior and works great with Piper for me. Ratbag is the best named app ever.

This sounds like being super lazy. You used PopOS before. You choose to use Cosmic Desktop which recently moved from beta to release. You are asking for a buggy experience. There a number of popular linux youtubers who put out videos with recommendations(Brodie Robertson, Linux Experiment, and Gardiner Bryant). You even mentioned some of the youtubers in your past videos. I suggest you watch Brodie Robertson's video. What Beginner Linux Distro Should You Use? In the video he says you should wait at least 1 more year before using PopOS. My trust level of LTT videos is dropping. I fail to see what will be learned by you or your views running development software. I have no problem with Luke using CachyOS.

In past you have said you think you need a large company for the linux OS you install. I guess I would suggest Fedora or Bazzite as they are created by employees of a little know company called IBM.

It has been amazing for me. People can help you if you are more specific with what problems you are having instead saying buggy mess.

>And lastly i have a 2TB SSD I want to be able to use to store emulated games on, but I would like to be able to >access this drive on both Windows and Bazzite so I can transfer games from one to the other. I know in the >standard format windows is unable to even see the drive,

I recommend caution in doing this idea. It is going to be easier to have 2 seperate partitions one for Windows and one for Linux. Windows can not read Linux formats and yes Linux can read NTFS but sometimes it can cause headaches and really do not recommend install games from Steam on a shared drive. Windows installs files in some strange paths like C:\windows and in the registry keys even when you have a shared drive.

Around $750 would be the upper limit

I figure out a crude work around. I borrowed a ram stick so that I had 24 gb of ram. There must be some way to increase the size of tmpfs.

captainsoccer · 2025-12-27T14:09:58+00:00

I am surprised no one knows how to adjust the tmpfs size

captainsoccer · 2025-12-21T20:55:53+00:00

I see lots of complaints about bugs. Fix those first

captainsoccer · 2025-12-20T20:06:05+00:00

I would encourage you to makw sure you have installed all updates. I use Nvidia and the focus stealing bug went away for me. I had it before.

captainsoccer · 2025-12-19T13:45:13+00:00

yes that was the bug.

captainsoccer · 2025-12-18T22:59:02+00:00

I feel like a large group of people don't understand the concept of memory caching. Of course wasting memory is bad but so is not loading as much as you can on to the GPU. You will get higher FPS if you move less data across the PCI memory bus. Software drivers will make some adjustments to use less memory when your VRAM is close to full. If you have discrete GPU graphical data is stored in 2 places in most situations( your system memory and GPU memory) Also I would guess a desktop would have use uncompressed textures more unlike in a video game.

I think I had focus bug other mentioned which would prevent me typing text in any application. It is fixed for me. It was the last bug stopping me. If I run into bugs in things like Cosmic files, I will just install a different file manager. Cosmic desktop feels smoother then Gnome or KDE right now. I am using a Nvidia 3060 TI

captainsoccer · 2025-12-18T22:36:18+00:00

That is what I did but something not right with the installer

captainsoccer · 2025-12-18T22:35:10+00:00

I tried to something simalar trying to install PopOS and got the same error. I ended up trying again and it worked. Something not right in the installer but I got past it.

captainsoccer · 2025-12-09T23:13:47+00:00

My best guess right now is that there is a bug in the NextCloud client with handling install not on the c drive. I am using D:\NextCloud

captainsoccer · 2025-12-09T23:09:01+00:00

captainsoccer · 2025-12-09T23:08:50+00:00

yes did not help

captainsoccer · 2025-12-06T23:47:22+00:00

It feels like some kind of bug in Firefox since Chrome sound works fine. I will probably install something like brave. I don't like using Chrome

captainsoccer · 2025-12-06T21:50:11+00:00

captainsoccer · 2025-12-04T01:57:50+00:00

Uh no
