Mainly here to keep up with the news on Linux.
What about video acceleration though? Cause last time i tried it as soon as I moved the camera the screen share’s framerate would drop like crazy making it essentially useless. On AMD anyway
I’ll prob check later today cause im interested
Something to be aware of with Nvidia on Linux:

I’ve seen that some dx12 games don’t run so well on nvidia compared to Windows. I havent checked that myself but this video shows it well.
I like btop Maybe not really “unknown”, but hey for those that don’t know about it, check it out!
Getting a second drive just for windows I think is a good approach. If you were to do so, it’s important that you remove all other drives while installing windows, otherwise the Windows installer will put its boot files into whatever existing EFI partition it finds.
Then using something like https://github.com/Raphire/Win11Debloat you should be good to go with a relatively clean setup.
To have a local account, I use Rufus to setup the usb installer in a way that it automatically creates the local account, and it can also disable the secure boot and tpm requirements from the installer if you want. Though I think rufus is a windows program only. I know there’s the “OOBE” approach for the local account, but I haven’t done that before. That could be an option too

Sections 3.3 or 3.4
I did 3.4 to disable the headset profiles cause generally it’s ass
I have had this happen to me when my monitor turns off before the night shift starts and when I come back let’s say an hour later and the night shift is not on.
Prob has something to do with the monitor being off at the switching time
A tip I saw some time ago is to do:
rm folder -rf
Additionally you could move the git folder to the trash folder. I think it’s usually located at $HOME/.local/share/trash/files/
Then you can delete it from the trash once you’re certain you got the right folder
It mentions it fixed bluetooth issues with certain devices, I wonder if it’s related to what I’m experiencing on regular fedora KDE (and EndeavorOS too) with a kernel version 6.9.3, CachyOS kernel on fedora, Liqourix on EndeavorOS, where my game controller will not connect to Bluetooth unless I restart the bluetooth service or pair the controller again.
With Fedora’s default kernel which is currently 6.8.11 I don’t have this issue. Honeslty I don’t know what’s up, and from a quick search I couldn’t find people with the same issue. I’ll search again later just in case
One pet peeve of mine is how in Windows 10 switching between virtual desktops was flawless, and somehow in Windows 11 they fucked it up. At first it had no animation when switching, the taskbar kind of glitches. Now it has an animation but it’s kind of delayed and the taskbar still kind of glitches, it seems to reload or something. Kinda crazy honestly
Essentially since I switched to AMD almost a year ago, and I switched so I could use wayland with freesync lol
I used DXVK for Dragon’s Dogma on Windows because it ran better overall, vs Directx 9 which the game uses natively.
This was on an AMD Rx 6800 xt
Had this issue not long ago, check out this comment:
https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/196187#issuecomment-1774043534
That fixed it for me
Not yet but I will check it out, thanks!
Just between yesterday and today I was struggling with this, to get DoH or DoT working, but Network Manager would override /etc/resolv.conf. At least I figured out how to stop NM from modifying the DNS.
I tried my putting my dns settings in /etc/systemd/resolv.conf, as suggested by Nextdns setup page, but that didn’t seem to work, at least on Tumbleweed. On my Debian laptop running as a headless server, the /etc/systemd/resolv.conf does work.
I’m currently with Stubby, and it’s working at least, but I would’ve liked to figure out the systemd-resolved way on Tumbleweed.
I would say option 3.
I can share my current setup in case you’re interested.
I recently moved back to Tumbleweed, and did the following:
/ -> 50GB, BTRFS, currently 13GB used I think
/home -> 800something GB, BTRFS, same drive
/boot/efi -> 512MB i think, same drive
Then a separate drive mounted to a folder in my home directory, for games mostly.
So far it eworks well, at least for me. BTRFS snapshots are working fine too. Flatpaks I have installed as user so they get installed in my home directory.
Maybe the one suggested in this thread might work for you?
I don’t get ads like this, but I have Win 11 Pro and used Sophia Script to disable as much nonsense as I can.
Here are some options if you’re interested: https://ripped.guide/Utilities/Debloating/
You can install windows to a selected Unallocated Space and it will create its partitions, but if it detects an EFI partition, even in a different drive, it uses that for windows.
I found out about this port forwarding matter a few days ago and gave it a try with PIA, and was disappointed with the results, but I’d like to know if I did something wrong on my end.
I’m currently torrenting about 100 torrents in a VPS running Qbittorrent with a Wireguard config from Mullvad, and I’ve been able to get great speeds, about 500 Mbps at the highest.
The other day I set up PIA with gluetun, through OpenVPN, with port forwarding too, put all the 100 torrents in Deluge too. The upload speeds for seeding didn’t seem any faster, but the download speeds were not quite as good. It would top at around 200 Mbps, best case.
Out of curiosity I also tried wireguard configs from Windscribe, with no port forwarding though, and it would also top out at about 250 Mbps or so.
I’m currently back with Mullvad and Qbittorrent. It’s been working fine for months now, so I’m wondering if I’m really missing out without port forwarding.
Anyway, and tips or suggestions are welcome!
Coming from Windows, I set up KDE’s Spectacle to open with Super + Shift + S in Area Select Mode and save and copy to clipboard on click release
Maybe not as unique but kinda neat I think
