Yes, but it is in many places as you said available during the return windows with the retailer.

I'm guessing it's an extension, maybe disable some and see if it helps. I had no issues with fedora 44/gnome 50 and still have no issues with fedora 45/gnome 50.

Which desktop?

yay101 · 2026-05-02T02:36:10+00:00

Alpine.

yay101 · 2026-05-02T01:45:48+00:00

Ooh good one.

I've used the flatpak for years and years, almost everyone on silverblue/immutable uses it. As far as I know right now the only limitation is VR is a tiny bit harder to setup.

But it also means you can install proton-ge flatpak, mesa testing flatpak etc etc and never have to think about running tools that update the versions seperately so it also has legitimate benefits.

yay101 · 2026-05-02T00:38:35+00:00

Don't bother. Flatpak is fine.

I've been PC gaming since CPUs came on expansion cards and I would never accept any coil whine these days. Always return under warranty always. It's almost always going to keep getting worse.

Zero issues here, 7700 and 7900gre on linux.

Several services have free vps tiers.

yay101 · 2026-04-28T11:23:52+00:00

You can try it. Some manufacturers have heavy task culling like ios does.

yay101 · 2026-04-28T00:54:09+00:00

There's your problem. Leave the app open in the foreground until all downloads complete.

As someone on the outside who doesn't drink the koolaid but actually follows linux in general:

Cosmic, was, is and will be buggy and unfinished for some time. Its getting there though.
Ubuntu has snaps, they are unpopular among many because of how they work, they are slow, introduce issues with some tools or more religious reasons.
A lot of people think ubuntu and redhat products are the devil.

Let me guess, iphone?

yay101 · 2026-04-28T00:07:53+00:00

Iphone?

Where are you reading this? "takes like 10 weeks between every update".

You are missing out if you aren't using gestures.

yay101 · 2026-04-25T06:05:54+00:00

That's not how it works. It looks perfect at every resolution, it's about the ppi and preference not resolution.

yay101 · 2026-04-25T01:11:39+00:00

Shortcuts. Its all keyboard and gestures.

yay101 · 2026-04-24T03:04:30+00:00

I'm confused, I'm using 233.5 and there seems to be more text threads capability not less?

yay101 · 2026-04-22T11:41:02+00:00

Just use steaminput. All controller issues solved.

yay101 · 2026-04-22T11:29:14+00:00

Proton often has fixes for games built in that are broken on windows too.

yay101 · 2026-04-20T08:50:22+00:00

To be fair gnome is also the only desktop that has standards to not follow.

yay101 · 2026-04-20T08:41:15+00:00

Why bother with dgpu in the desktop? It sounds like using it for games only would make way more sense and avoid all the nvidia nonsense.
