This is the first and only distro I’ve tried that has display link drivers already installed. Was able to plug my laptop into my work dock and immediately have it all work. I used to have to install a community version of the displaying driver for my Ubuntu and Debian based distros. Shit just works the first time.

Ah gotcha okay. Probably explains why sudo dnf update/upgrade wasn’t quite doing what I expected in my Bazzite install. Force of habit since I’ve used Fedora and Debian based systems in the past.

I love KDE. So much flexibility and customization.

How is package management different on Bazzite?

Do you mean that there are integrated virtual machines?

It actually is officially supported by the hardware team who builds my laptop. I’m not sure why you had to be so hostile with your wording.

Right? I’ve had these issues with a Framework 13 AMD and have experienced these problems on Kubuntu 23.10, Ubuntu 22.04, and Kubuntu 24.04.

Otherwise the computer runs stably albeit certain flatpaks and snaps just stop working for some reason over time (like BambuStudio and Webcord and a Notion web wrapper and Kdenlive).

I basically treat this laptop as I would a bigger steamdeck. I video edit, play games, and browse the internet. That’s basically 99% of my use case

For me it’s easier a lot of the time to just reformat and reinstall the OS than to troubleshoot every little problem as they arise. It’s great for learning and I’ve certainly learned a lot along the way but for my use case I just want this computer to work with my stuff right off the bat.

Now that you mention it I do get another bug where if I pick up my computer in a certain way it logs me out. I’ve got a Framework 13.

This is promising. I’ve got the exact same laptop as you. Laughing at the need to make things complicated to keep your skills up.

Yay! I’ve had to use the App Image version of Kdenlive as flatpak and snap packages would crash anytime I loaded a saved project file after closing it.

That’s a neat application of LLMs. I echo the other comments here in that I’d want final say on file changes and the ability to only enable it for certain directories.

Agreed. I’m not super computer geeky compared to this website. A bunch of people here would probably not even consider me techy.

That said, I hated the command line and would actively avoid it as often as possible. Once I started using it (just to paste code from tutorials) and then later to cd into folders so I can run an old game .exe with WINE, and then to straight up command line tools for converting .bin and .cue files into workable ISOs (also for old games), I started seeing with the command line is so sick.

I’m converted. It’s great. It’s not as spooky as it looks. Make the background 50% transparent.

Yea but why?

Why can’t you stand Ubuntu?

Debian! I have a Plex server on Debian and it’s been nice and stable. I stream 4k to two tvs at my house at once. Works well.

Love resilio. Fantastic for travelling to quickly pull up your passport or visa or train tickets you reserved before. Just leave a computer running at home (like a home server).

That’s awesome that you’ve got such an old PC doing so much!
