You’re going to be super disappointed to learn that most people who have been using Linux as daily driver for decades just use whatever works. Linus himself just uses Fedora.
Nobody that has real shit to do wants to worry about things not working or causing issues. Immutable is pointless, Nix is something I use for work, Ubuntu is dead to me…etc.
Not sure what you even mean, but OP seems to be struggling with just installing Wine.
99% of everything should work right off the bat with any Prefix Manager, and only in RARE cases does tweaking Wine directly ever come into to play.
I think you have it backwards.
Honestly, unless you know exactly what you’re doing, I wouldn’t run Wine directly.
Use a Wine Prefix manager like Proton, Lutris, Heroic …etc. It makes everything pretty dead simple, and keeps all your Wine stuff isolated.
Change your time servers or add more to the load balanced con, and make sure you don’t have a block on your network for those hosts. You can also set the timeout for that particular service to something shorter so it doesn’t hang, or remove deps that rely on it from the service files.
Literally nothing. It has nothing to do with Linux.
They won’t make their CAC© checks be always online because they know they’ll lose sales. The reality is that more people will not buy always online games than have the will and know-how to find cracked versions. The segmentation of the general market is just much smaller.
So I don’t think anything will happen here.
Try using your CMOS’ EFI boot manager and see if it sees both. If so, just skip Grub and use that.
If you’re saying you started on Gnome, then dropped in another DE, you need to switch to an agnostic network manager if you were relying on Gnome’s Desktop Network manager implementation probably.
If you’re saying you booted a clean Fedora Cosmic LiveUSB and couldn’t get WiFi working, you need to look at logs or run through some cli debugging to see what’s up. Probably just Cosmic issues.
Edit: forgot about nmtui. You can use this to debug issues from the clinpretty simply if the desktop tools are failing.
Well poking around, it seems that specific plugin was only meant for Gimp 2.10, and you must be on 3.0+ by now, so I would consider it unusable.
I don’t think you need to directly edit the script if that’s what you mean. You want to edit the values in the plug-in menu so it’s not out of bounds. Those get passed to the script, which then executes.
You probably need the direct error instead of this raised exception. Start Gimp from a terminal, trigger the error, and see if the terminal error is showing exactly what the script’s error is.
It’s having an issue with a value. This explains it so I don’t need to write a novel: https://gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=6756
Some of the default values in Gimp Scripts are bad, and it’s kind of a crapshoot.
Chrome is dead
Nah, it works fine just with ARM builds, but that’s not the point of the SoC. GPU acceleration, security features, and offloading co-processors all need drivers to work properly.
Ubuntu 25+ has specific optimizations for these chips, but last I heard performance was pretty weak due to Qualcomm refusing to open their drivers and optimizations.
Fedora 44 also has some specific optimizations for these chips.
Your hardware is really the defining factor at the lower levels, but then whether you have encrypted partitions is the barrier at the OS level.
Understanding where your problem lies needs to be known, so more symptoms or logs would be helpful.
Nope.
Hate to keep litigating this around here, but the shift alone is enough. Explaining to people WTF an immutable filesystem is, is a sure way to frustrate them into giving up, despite whatever comms finesse you might THINK you have.
Counterpoint: STOP SUGGESTING IMMUTABLE DISTROS TO NEW USERS
For people who just want a functional OS, they don’t want to have to think about new rules. They need a quick off-ramp from Windows that acts as they expect.
Package management is already enough of a mindfuck for people switching, then you’re throwing in containers, permissions, flatpak vs native packages, what sandboxing is, why your browser likely can’t just upload a simple fucking file, and why your camera doesn’t work on Zoom, because you have a meeting in 10 minutes.
Unless you are handing people something akin to a mobile OS with everything all inclusive and configured so EVERYTHING works off the bat, you’re doing such a huge disservice to people switching over to an immutable distro, and there is ZERO benefit, but all kinds of added frustration.
You need to stop, and I yield my time.
Sounds like you need a client that does “multiparty uploads”. Meaning interruptions should continue if there is a break in comms.
All the Cloud endpoints support this, you just need a better client. Do some research I guess.
Did you read that I was saying containers are bad somewhere? You have misread.
Android Studio isn’t just a simple app, nor a single executable, AND it maps out to a bunch of local sockets to your already running host to provide various services. Certainly not going to be easy or stable in a container, especially since they are asking about emulation as well.
I did. Which is why I commented. You literally said “there are no wrong answers” 🤣
