I don’t know what to tell you. We need more information.

Are you on Nvidia, AMD, or Intel for your GPU? What other symptoms? Have you done any other research on this in your troubleshooting? What does your config file look like?

I ask because I have a ThinkPad on Fedora with Hyprland and it’s doing just fine. Like another commenter said, help us help you.

I run Fedora on my gaming PC (KDE) and my ThinkPad (GNOME/Hyprland). It’s a rock-solid distro. Some may think the release cycle is too fast, but then just don’t upgrade right away.

Distrohopping is an addiction for me. As soon as I get settled, I’m ready to bounce. I want my gaming PC to stay where it is, but I might hop my ThinkPad around. Maybe. Fedora on it is fantastic.

High school crush. I married her.

Mattermost is a lot like Slack, right?

ThinkPads are my go-to. I just got an X1 Carbon Gen 9 (i5, 16GB) for $350 and put Fedora on it after upgrading the SSD to 1TB. It’s a beautiful laptop.

Of course, there’s the tried and true T480. Love that thing, especially if you get the right display panel and touchpad upgrades. Swappable batteries, upgradeable RAM. Those laptops can be had for cheap on eBay. Also check r/hardwareswap or the Discord for ThinkPad deals.

XPS 13 units can do well with Linux, too. I’m just a ThinkPad fan.

I’m definitely checking this out. I’ve been on the Audiobookshelf beta for a while and it’s not bad, but I want CarPlay support. And I really love this UI. It reminds me of that third-party Plex tie-in for audiobooks that did this same thing, Prologue.

Yeah, and last I heard, it was people getting kicked or killed for not having meta loadouts or some shit. Garbage. I’m already put off by the game because I don’t have friends, and seeing how the community reacted to a seemingly normal balance patch has really dissuaded me.

Maybe I won’t play the game. Every time I hear something about this community, it’s toxic shit like this. And here I thought the Destiny community was annoying.

It never stops. Distro hopping is an addiction for me.

I’ve done a few documentation contributions for some projects. Turns out that technical writers and editors are appreciated in certain places.

Still working on it. Goddamn antipsychotics make it really difficult, but I’m gonna do it.

Not the original commenter, but Nobara is a great distro if gaming is your focus. It’s tweaked specifically for that purpose and has built up a strong community. I just hate that they use Discord for support.

Switching DEs can get messy in my experience with leftover packages and such. It’s best, in my opinion, to experiment in VMs and go from there, then go with a clean install when you make your choice. That’s what I did with KDE.

Good to know! I should have clarified in my comment, I think the language they used the last time I checked was basically something like, “We no longer guarantee that we’ll support these devices once they go EOL from Google.” I don’t recall anything about extended support, so that’s awesome!

I ran GrapheneOS (and CalyxOS) on a Pixel 5 for a while and quite liked the experience. It’s remarkably polished and get’s the job done quite well for the most part, with some caveats like you mentioned. The biggest bummer is when Google EOLs the devices, so the Graphene team also has to (last I checked). So, I installed /e/OS on my P5 and stuck it in a drawer.

The ROM has come a long way in recent years, and I’m glad that Android Auto works now. (Now that I have a car that has AA/CarPlay functionality!) Good on you for making the plunge and I hope it continues to work out well for you. I am not surprised that your NFC car key doesn’t work, based on what I know about the trusted key system on Android when Google announced it not too long ago. That may be hard to find a workaround for, but I am not a developer by any means, so who knows!

I use LMDE on an XPS 13 9360 and it is a rock solid. I adore this distro, especially on older hardware. If I ever switch away from my MacBook Pro, LMDE is going to be my daily driver. (And I’m strongly considering a Framework 13 AMD as my next laptop when it comes time to upgrade.)

LMDE squad, unite!

Both. I prefer digital generally because I’m a digital hoarder and I love seeing my Calibre library get bigger and carrying my Kobo around, but there’s something satisfying about seeing my bookmark make steady progress through a physical book (slowly; I’m a slow reader).

Great. I was tired of shitty stuff and fell into the rabbit hole. Here I am some two decades later and I love it. I contribute back by writing documentation since I lack coding skills, but I’m a technical writer for a living, so why not give back some of those writing skills?

I’m gonna tell you what you’ve probably been told a million times before. Life ain’t fair. Never has been, never will be. You know it, I know it.

You always have choices to make and each choice bears with it consequences that you must be willing to endure. In the end, you have to decide what’s more important to you. Do you care more about interacting with your loved ones on the internet or your private information?

It’s a loaded question in either direction. Of course my original comment was easy to say and difficult to exact in practice. That’s what it means to have principles you stand for.

It’s not that big of a deal. You live your life and you let them live theirs. It’s what I’ve done. If they want to continue to use the corporate stuff, that’s on them. Hell, I don’t even harass my wife about it. Just let people be. If it bothers you, go where they are. If it doesn’t, stay here and enjoy what makes this part of the internet great.
