huskypenguin@sh.itjust.worksto Linux@lemmy.ml•I'm committing to Linux, but it's so unstable. Any suggestions?1·3 months agoThese are more questions for OP. But Fedora is based on RHEL which is owned by IBM. I don’t really fault OP for wanting to avoid American products in this current era. Linux however seems more of a trans-national product.

huskypenguin@sh.itjust.worksto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in AprilEnglish1·3 months agoHow is it irrelevant? Plex offers a bunch of services that cost them money that we don’t use, so they jacked up prices for streaming our own data.

huskypenguin@sh.itjust.worksto Linux@lemmy.ml•Update: Mining crypto to heat my 1 bedroom flat2·4 months agoThere is an actual reason to heat the whole space. But it depends on a number of factors including the size of the space heater, interior wall insulation, and external temp. If the exterior was -20F then using a single room space heater would not work and might be more expensive than bringing the whole floor to 58F in the long run.
The gist is your home has a thermal envelope. When you’re only heating that one room, without insulation, the heat is evacuating to neighboring rooms. So you’re still heating everything just poorly.
On top of that, a well insulated home drops heat slower than it take to heat up. If the home is built correctly all the heaters would work in tandem to bring the base temp up to a set point then shut off and allow it to slowly drop.
But again. There’s a ton of factors here (heater size and type are huge).

And since it’s modular you can always upgrade!
Framework for sure. Built for Linux and upgradeable.
huskypenguin@sh.itjust.worksto Linux@lemmy.ml•Linux Mint - NOT "Usable Out of the Box" - Probably switching back to Windows4·5 months agoYea and the purists are getting heated back. You’re obviously at a learning gap, and that’s the firmware gap. It’s annoying. But with older hardware it “just works”.
I’m guessing since mint is Debian based it’s not getting the latest and greatest firmware blobs, or it’s on an older kernel.
What’s your hardware? What version of Linux mint?
You might want to try some gaming specific distros as they are a little more cutting edge. I’d suggest giving Bazzite or Nobara a try. Bazzite is immutable, so if it’s not working on first boot just give up and switch. But it is my personals favorite.
Both are based on Fedora which is a little more cutting edge.
You also might want to try Manjaro which is like Arch Linux with training wheels. It may just work on boot.
Edit: Bazzite and Nobara will have Nvidia specific ISOs, so getting drivers working is no big deal. The core and legacy systems (Ubuntu, mint, Fedora, opensuse) all take a little more effort to get Nvidia working. Their spinoffs often times include the driver for you.

Switch back to windows until you’re ready to take another dive. It’s worth it imo, but a lot of these comments are just plane unhelpful. Linux is great, if it’s not working for your hardware try a different tact.
Nvidia support just turned a corner at the end of last year. It’s getting much much better.
