Panda o' Plenty 🔞Ok, gonna get new hard drive and want to install Linux on it. Rather old laptop, can play something like TF2 on it on Windows, while Bioshock Infinity is already too much. No Vulkan even.What Linux to pick for old gaming and gamedev? (Whatever Proton is, too)Last time I tried Nobara + GNOME on it and it was a terrible experience. Rendering in Godot was fine, but YouTube had laggy audio and desktop was terrible and all the app store like stuff barely worked.<a href="https://pawb.fun/tags/linuxgaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#linuxgaming</a> <a href="https://pawb.fun/tags/linuxhelp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#linuxhelp</a>

Cyber YukiI have a new laptop that has no Ethernet port (WiFi only) and I want to install ubuntu on it (to later migrate my data from my existing laptop, also with Ubuntu)I don't know how to access the bios and disable secureboot or whatever that crappy Microsoft DRM thingy is called; there was no manual with the laptop.It's an HP.How can I install Linux on it without bricking it?<a href="https://hackers.town/tags/LinuxHelp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LinuxHelp</a> <a href="https://hackers.town/tags/TechSupport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TechSupport</a>

Yora<a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/linuxhelp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#linuxhelp</a> After making changes to /selinux/config I can no longer boot my computer. Recovery mode still works, but trying to boot normally just ends in a black screen.This seems to be a somewhat common SELinux problem, but I have not been able to find any solution.Anyone got one for me?

käsleDoes someone know how to install a Japanese keyboard on XFCE (fedora) where you can type in romaji and it writes in hiragana/katakana (for example you press i and it writes い)? I know that it works perfectly on Gnome, but I don't know how to get it on XFCE. Btw is Wayland usable on Nvidia RTX 2060? The last time I was using it, the screen started to freeze after some time, so I got stuck to XFCE. <a href="https://famichiki.jp/tags/linuxhelp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#linuxhelp</a>

I want to use systemd-boot. I'm using <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/vmware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#vmware</a> workstation.

MaxxyWould anyone be able to help me with a Linux problem? For some reason when I am playing games, a random white box will just flash in the top left for a second. Randomly my screen will just flash white when I play games as well. It's getting really annoying! I tried Googling it but can't find anything since it's so vague. I am using EndeavorOS (so Arch) and a RTX 2080Ti.

scribblans (fs)Good morning from a frustrated <a href="https://fedia.social/tags/Ubuntu" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ubuntu</a> newbie who can't figure out why spellcheck, in any note or task applications, are underlining perfectly spelled English versions of words as wrong and is suggesting the American spelling as correct, even when the settings app shows that the computer is set to the UK. I've set the UK English language in Firefox, that works fine, but a lot of apps must take the language or locale from elsewhere it seems, as they have no setting for it. <a href="https://fedia.social/tags/linuxhelp" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#linuxhelp</a>, or a trawl though forums trying various command line fixes for me then

Serena is moving to @Starcross@fedi.catboy.agencyLinux question for y'all: Would it be okay to run Debian 12 on a computer with an Nvidia RTX 4060 Laptop GPU and an AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS? I checked the supported GPUs for the proprietary Nvidia driver and it does appear that the RTX 4060 Laptop GPU is on the supported list. Would there be any cons to using Debian 12 compared to something like OpenSuse Tumbleweed?

ReiAn update to my Linux situation. Long story short for what happened prior is that on Fedora 40, Firefox took ages to load and even after it finally did, it and other apps would frequently start Not Responding. Currently I don't have access to my PC cause I'm not home, so I just successfully installed Nobara on my laptop instead. I heard it's based on Fedora but more performance-based? After spending a lot of time trying to get my laptop to recognize the USB I was trying to boot it from (which went smoother on my PC despite that having been my first time, so you'd think it'd be easier the second time around), it's done. And the verdict is... It works. Granted, I've only booted into Nobara twice so far, so my sample size is small, but apps load instantly even if it's right after the boot. I haven't used it enough yet to know if the Not Responding will be an issue here as well, but it's certainly a good sign that Firefox runs right off the bat. I even intentionally left several tabs open and then restarted the laptop to see how it'd handle it. I find it weird, though, how my laptop runs (so far 🤞) Nobara better than my PC runs Fedora. My PC is a lot better than my laptop. I'm not sure if something went seriously wrong somewhere along the way with my specific Fedora installation, or if Nobara is just that much better for performance. I intend on trying out Nobara on my PC as well once I get back home, but for that, I'll need help with something: I don't have enough space for Nobara on my PC because I used a lot of it to install Fedora. If Fedora's not going to work out for me, but Nobara is, I won't mind uninstalling Fedora and replacing it with this. My question is how do I go about doing that? I turned some space to Unallocated Space and installed Fedora on that. How do I "delete" Fedora and turn its storage into Unallocated Space again, free for me to use it up for Nobara? <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/Linux" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linux</a> <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/Fedora" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fedora</a> <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/NobaraLinux" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NobaraLinux</a> <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/LinuxHelp" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LinuxHelp</a>

YoraSince I upgraded to Fedora 40 with KDE and Plasma 6.0.5, old games with a fixed resolution no longer get scaled up to fill up the whole screen when in full screen.And are of course just as tiny in windowed mode. Which makes them effectively unplayable.Does anyone know why this happens and what I can do to fix this?

ReiSo relatively recently I thought of trying out Linux, and then the whole Recall thing got announced, which pushed me even more in this direction. I'm not ready for a complete switch just yet, but I did make a dual boot with Windows 10 on one side and Fedora on the other. There's an issue I consistently have, though. Whenever I boot into Fedora, the first app I open (which is usually Firefox) takes ages to load. After that it's fine (for the most part, more of that in a bit), but when I first access Firefox, a good 3-5 minutes is spent on waiting for it to allow me to do anything. Now that alone is not that big of an issue, if it's just a few minutes and just whenever I first boot into Linux that day. But for the past couple days, on top of this, I get frequent "Not responding" on stuff like Firefox and Files. It would probably do the same thing on other stuff, but I don't have a bunch of apps installed yet, so I wouldn't know. It's gotten to a point where I have my tablet within arm's reach in case Fedora decides that I won't be able to use my PC for like 5 minutes. Especially cause I can't even forcefully close the program and reopen it. Even that takes a long time, so I might as well just let it recover on its own. But I'm not sure why this is happening? Any other Linux users (particularly Fedora users) that have encountered this as well? <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/Linux" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linux</a> <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/Fedora" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fedora</a> <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/FedoraLinux" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FedoraLinux</a> <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/LinuxHelp" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LinuxHelp</a>

vulgalourA new to me laptop has become available and I want to try using Linux again so I don't have to use Win11.I'm paralysed by choice. I literally don't know what version of Linux to go with as a beginner. I need something that can deal with digital artwork creation, video editing, some games, and general internet browsing and office tasks.I need it to ideally be as stable and easy to use as Windows because I don't know what I'm doing with tech and have a lot to learn.<a href="https://birdbutt.com/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linux</a> <a href="https://birdbutt.com/tags/LinuxHelp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LinuxHelp</a>
