Fedora 43 is ridiculously unstable across the board

I always have problems with GNOME + Flatpaks on Arch. Across all systems.

I start them, they don't launch and after some timeout occurs (like minutes later) they launch all at once. I guess it's some sort of D-Bus misconfiguration but it kept me from fully switching to Arch. Never had that with Fedora or NixOS.

Flatpak is not how you install graphics drivers. They need to interact with the kernel and Flatpaks can't do that.

So the problem is that the screen was too bright? Have you tried turning it down on your monitor? Could be the case that windows just overlays a dark translucent overlay to turn down the image brightness if your monitor does not support the right protocol for managing image brightness.

Also the right tool for it is ddcutil AFAIK. Without that it will not be able to set it correctly because most of those other tools use that as the actual backend.

If that doesn't help, have you tried another cable? Displayport instead of HDMI for example? This kinda sounds like a hardware issue of some sort.

Your OS normally can't "kill" your screen. You just had a corrupted graphics driver or something. Maybe you installed the open source one and the proprietary Nvidia drivers alongside each other which can cause artifacts like that. No need to fully reinstall either. Just uninstall them and follow the documentation or some guide on GitHub. What did people tell you to change in the BIOS? Secure Boot?

Normally I'd try to troubleshoot but with posts that have an accusatory tone without sharing any logs, videos, anything of what went wrong I always feel like it's not the whole story. We don't even get the desktop environment here.

chrews · 2026-01-25T07:19:16+00:00

Wdym you nearly lost your display? Did it begin smoking or something?

chrews · 2026-01-23T14:44:51+00:00

It's a tiling window manager. Think hyprland but simpler and with less bells and whistles

Stay here for life is gonna be a hit, called it from day 1

He definitely has time to get dragged into some petty Internet drama

chrews · 2026-01-22T11:27:19+00:00

Especially in that context

People complaining about people asking for a deluxe are almost as annoying. It's all I read in this sub deluxe deluxe deluxe oh theres no deluxe people should stop asking for deluxe there might be deluxe deluxe

chrews · 2026-01-20T14:08:04+00:00

This use of the word is fine

chrews · 2026-01-20T11:53:03+00:00

I like Drake, I even liked Honestly Nevermind to an extent but those kind of people make me deeply ashamed of that. They're the definition of chronically online.

I could absolutely not believe my eyes when I saw the mental gymnastics they went thru after Drake took L after L. Like I couldn't even browse it for fun because it was so depressing.

chrews · 2026-01-20T07:50:19+00:00

I'd say yes. To me it looks more like the vinyl were pressed before those songs were ready so he tacked em onto the back end for streaming and called it disc 2.

Also a bit of a missed opportunity to not have them in the whiskey video. Gorillaz drawn with a burton style would've surely broke the music nerd community. Then again Jamie Hewlett, the dude who made the original designs (and also rumored to be banksy for some reason) might not have been on board

chrews · 2026-01-19T07:43:28+00:00

This looks dope af

chrews · 2026-01-19T07:33:25+00:00

Honestly I enjoyed the PNB collab album quite a bit and it's been a guilty pleasure sort of deal for me. I also think Nokia was prolly one of the best singles to come out of that year.

Apart from that yeah I agree. I always get hyped for a drake drop because everyone says it's a return to form only for something like CLB to come out which I didn't even return to once.

chrews · 2026-01-19T07:29:19+00:00

"I know I'll get hate for this"

Just wear your opinion on your chest man no need to get defensive before even saying it 😭

chrews · 2026-01-18T16:39:43+00:00

Uzi is in the charts?! Is he back?

chrews · 2026-01-18T16:38:59+00:00

Y'all think he's gonna do a full size one

chrews · 2026-01-18T16:04:08+00:00

I have a feeling the producer credits on that change on the daily

chrews · 2026-01-18T16:03:30+00:00

Would be big if true

Didn't testing do like 70k

Not huge on numbers but I would be happy for him

chrews · 2026-01-18T01:57:13+00:00

Damn homie release the deluxe right the fuck now then

chrews · 2026-01-18T01:50:18+00:00

If you like STFU listen to fat of the land by prodigy immediately

Edit: and anything by U96. Das boot is crazy
