I have had corrupt filesystem errors with BTRFS on both of my computers due to power outages and one hard shutdown (had to), that was the end of it. I will stick to ext4, a log file system that is more stable. Used ext4 for YEARS (I am old) and never had these issues with such frequency. Stick to what is hardened and solid, BTRFS is still under development. The fanboys love to use it as the next best thing, and it does have some nice features, but stability is not one of them, at least in these type of situations.

Heed the ‘downside’ of using btrfs carefully before choosing that option over say, ext4, especially if you ever do a hard-shutdown, prone to power-outages, etc. It will scramble your system files.

I hate these Grub/boot errors. They are a pain to fix, not that it is hard, but I always have to read-up on how to do it properly. I am guessing you probably did an update maybe that caused this? Do you have a backup system to restore? That is the easiest fix. If not, next time get one in place. Here is a helpful ‘how to fix’ the issue.

You’ve got this! 👍

Currently, X11 is not really being developed, just maintained, which is the real issue. In this piece they are questioning whether Wayland was a good choice or not. I am using Wayland, have for some time, and I do acknowledge it is still a work in progress, validating the articles list of ‘issues’ yet to be addressed, but unless you are running a really old system, I am guessing the complications affect a very minimal group of users. There are also workarounds, for example on KDE, the gtk apps don’t adhere to those using the global menu. However, there is a fix to get around it.

In reference to using a completely different solution, isn’t it a little late in the game (16 years in development?) I think we are stuck with Wayland, no?

If you are trying to get monetized, make some $$, a lot of creators are using Youtube as sort of a cross-posting system, ie edited or partial content so they won’t get a copyright strike, or offend the fascist YT censorship, then in the video reference your Peertube/Odyssey/Rumble for the full version. It helps also to transition or train viewers on alternative platforms.

Yes! Tired of updating KDE at times and the plug-in ‘rounded-corners’ doesn’t work because Kwin is slow to update.

My question, does this also work on gtk apps?

There is a IronFox repo you can add to Fdroid found HERE.

You can by enabling global discovery and relaying in Syncthing. I am not that versed in this, as I only sync when I connect to my home wifi, which works so well for me. Do a search on it, lots of people have it setup for outside network as well.

I prefer not to use any ‘cloud’ computing. Even the idea of having your private info sitting on someone else’s server, gives me the willies. Use Syncthing, available on all devices, uses your own lan/wifi to connect and sync all your info. You can choose whatever storage option or redundancy you like. Keep your info in-house.

Thank you, updated it.

You need to ask the developer, their post.

If you want gaming, check out POP OS (ubuntu/debian,) Garuda Linux KDE Gaming Edition (Arch) or CachyOS (Arch.)

The warning is, don’t use SNAP packages.

I use Arch, btw, but I don’t consider it the best (yes I do.) I could easily transition to Fedora, for example (I would never do that,) and be completely happy (I would rather continually hit my head with the metal stapler gun on my desk.)

The MOOD bar!!! Takes me back to the late 90’s/early 2000’s.
