It was probably unrelated to the printer drivers, but I really don&#39;t know what I did to cause it. <br/><br/>I&#39;m pretty sure I know how you know that happens after installing Nvidia drivers on Fedora! I think you mentioned it in a post a few months ago about what distros you&#39;d recommend for a beginner. Your many Linux posts were actually really influential when I was trying to pick a distro and a DE. :3<br/><br/>It&#39;s a shame that Linux support for Apple Silicon still isn&#39;t that great! I&#39;m not an Apple fan but I have to admit that they do make some nice hardware. It would be pretty cool to have alternative operating systems for them. 2026-04-26T03:08:02Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsv9klnc56jhahk5nj5l6av3mqde9wlsmcq6m853989dgdgzc7wzvczyqstkgrwfqle5hlz0wuafn322wunyal2up3jcrv0h4dr8ylqxrl2uwnycwm In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsfp2kvk2dnjkp2py9ncmce8r6s9cqr4stk3xvzjh5gr3gwqqz5ldcv3kwxg'>nevent1q…kwxg</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>So far my Linux experience has had the typical amount of friction and frustration that I&#39;ve come to expect, but I seem to be past most of it.<br/><br/>I started off on Mint, but that lasted like 10 minutes because I need functional display scaling and it does not appear to be capable of that. My options were &#34;really tiny&#34; at 1x and &#34;way too big&#34; at 2x. I did find a fractional scaling setting but it just made everything blurry.<br/><br/>So I decided to try Fedora next since I was reasonably familiar with it from my Bazzite machine. I really like the idea of an immutable OS so I installed Kinoite and rebased to the lightly-modified Universal Blue version. That was a pretty good experience, but I kept running into stuff that I wanted to be able to do that was either really hard or impossible to do on an immutable system. I could definitely get by it, but I couldn&#39;t stop wanting that additional functionality that was just out of reach - like being able to use my printer!<br/><br/>After a couple days of that, I installed regular Fedora KDE... and managed to irreparably break it pretty much immediately. I have no idea what I did - I just installed a few things like the non-free media codecs and the printer drivers and rebooted, and it just wouldn&#39;t boot up after that. It started loading and then it would just hang at a loading screen forever. No error messages or console output or anything. <br/><br/>That was pretty inauspicious but I decided to give it another go. I did like that it had an option to reinstall while keeping my files and settings, which saved me a bit of setup time. And so far I haven&#39;t managed to break it again! Claws crossed that I won&#39;t mess anything else up, but I think I&#39;ve got things to a place where I can just use my computer and hopefully not have to spend too much more time in the terminal (I hate using the CLI). <br/><br/>I&#39;ve been really impressed at how well all of the hardware on this laptop is supported. It&#39;s a 4-year old Thinkpad so it&#39;s a pretty good candidate, but still - everything just works, even the Trackpoint and the fingerprint reader! <br/><br/>Power management seems to be pretty good too. This has a 12th gen Intel processor which is pretty inefficient for a mobile CPU, and the battery life under Windows did not look very promising. It&#39;s not great under Fedora either but it&#39;s definitely better, and at least it can stay cool enough to actually turn the fan off sometimes.<br/><br/>Overall, I&#39;m really happy with it! It&#39;s nice to see how usable and functional Linux can be as a regular desktop. 2026-04-26T02:05:10Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsfp2kvk2dnjkp2py9ncmce8r6s9cqr4stk3xvzjh5gr3gwqqz5ldczyqstkgrwfqle5hlz0wuafn322wunyal2up3jcrv0h4dr8ylqxrl2ulpgqe0 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqspv7kdc29vz987ne9d3r4wqqsf3f9ucym0wtv2svg25fkqyfhl6hsvdx7rl'>nevent1q…x7rl</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I have been using Bazzite on my living room PC for a while now, but I mostly just interact with Steam so it&#39;s not the same as daily driving a Linux distro.

I don&#39;t mind using it on my desktop or my work computer, but I have them set up to get rid of all the ads and other junk you get on a new installation.

I can&#39;t always count on circumaural headphones to actually fit over my ears, and they have to be open-backed because closed ones usually depend on having a good seal against your head to have decent bass and the glasses prevent that. <br/><br/>For closed headphones I gotta go with supra-aural ones. I know a lot of people don&#39;t like them, but I actually find them pretty comfy, although my ears do get a little sore after an hour or so from pressing against the arm of my glasses.<br/><br/>This is mostly what I listen to if I&#39;m sitting at a desk:<br/><br/>Sennheiser HD560s - I keep these at work, they&#39;re pretty much great at everything and reasonably comfy now that the headband has relaxed a bit.<br/><br/>Beyerdynamic DT990 Premium 250 Ohm - They&#39;re super comfy and have a nice open sound, so I prefer them at home unless the harsh treble doesn&#39;t work for what I&#39;m listening to.<br/><br/>Sennheiser HD600 - Classics. They don&#39;t try to crush my head like the HD560s so they&#39;re quite comfy too.<br/><br/>That&#39;s just a small selection though - I used to be really into headphones and I have waaaayy too many.

I think it should have better range than ZigBee anyways, and my house is not very big so the signal doesn&#39;t need to travel that far. 2025-02-24T22:03:19Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsde4ckz5gl4rgtjqlegnptfg0hzyknnar8gzz3qgqys2akuty8fuqzyqstkgrwfqle5hlz0wuafn322wunyal2up3jcrv0h4dr8ylqxrl2ucq7nv2 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqspeer8xhxdcekp3jn29y2ye7mn3uhvu3svdht2layjuszwd3t0g8qxul7ky'>nevent1q…l7ky</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>ChromeOS 2025-01-31T19:52:30Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs0egep9he3fyg7t5wf3gtsrl8edpwapuknsqtttlrc5d4gaga3dlczyqstkgrwfqle5hlz0wuafn322wunyal2up3jcrv0h4dr8ylqxrl2ucf6ajn In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqswxufjw533hd2rnkr3vpwpject74mdqegl3hucg73yvvwyzergnwcz5uu0d'>nevent1q…uu0d</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>The only real advantage is that it looks nice. I have a couple of those cover plate holders and it makes the Hue switch stick out so far which looks pretty silly, but if you don&#39;t mind that then they&#39;re fine. 2025-01-31T17:35:35Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsvze6hc5hcs9xkrctmk6q00xn5ct6ec5d36jsp92ws6evz550vvuczyqstkgrwfqle5hlz0wuafn322wunyal2up3jcrv0h4dr8ylqxrl2uw95dw0 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsrjf97e9rvcc9jj6s6ezjcqk6a4wwjdp7u6h3nxjtjzfwf48m8r4g6ec3mr'>nevent1q…c3mr</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Nope, you bypass the switch and just wire the line and load together, and then you connect the Hue switch module to 2025-01-31T09:21:18Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsq5p9qx8kgk2pz7lvz8u5ejxg5yh0g06a93a7vhcam7w8eyfaxm6szyqstkgrwfqle5hlz0wuafn322wunyal2up3jcrv0h4dr8ylqxrl2uzpg7ny In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs866fp4vwq5pjm2fl5grd9zextetuewlhgxf2em7ha3lvur2ht5psqw2kjx'>nevent1q…2kjx</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>If you&#39;re okay with not being able to use the switch to actually disconnect power to the bulbs, you could wire the circuit to bypass the switch and go with the Hue Wall Switch Module. It&#39;s a bit of a spendy option, but it won&#39;t need an additional hub and the module is battery powered so no neutral is no problem. 2025-01-31T02:58:07Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsv6c3wvznu2q7u0kuhlprrq5wqm6y4tzgy0hk0xa6nu2slnvhxmngzyqstkgrwfqle5hlz0wuafn322wunyal2up3jcrv0h4dr8ylqxrl2up79x8j In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsr5ecxzrfpt3ugx2s5pvp3m8nrcu4f5fpyvpcmmtlq5f49ssjt60g9awast'>nevent1q…wast</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Google Home and Alexa are both so bad for home automation! I&#39;ve had a SmartThings hub for a long time so I never really tried to do too much with either of them, but Home Assistant is a huge step up from that as well. I&#39;m still trying to get my head around all the stuff I can do with automations compared to ST! 2024-12-31T02:18:16Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsdxvlkru9etdfl2hj2kmdarqa24ekkmcuamltmchs9qhsy2tsmwkczyqstkgrwfqle5hlz0wuafn322wunyal2up3jcrv0h4dr8ylqxrl2u5u40lc In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsgsucqjrrcahhw6kg2asy4ajwg7r9wj0v7n23zajrt0u2px2v776g64z33z'>nevent1q…z33z</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Yep, the TP-Link integration in HA provides local control for Kasa devices. It&#39;s been pretty reliable for my old Kasa smart plugs, but less so for the one newer Matter-compatible switch I have. I think that&#39;s more of a Matter issue than anything, because it works just fine when I just add it via the normal Kasa app. 2024-12-31T02:15:24Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs0swsme4lkgrckq7sflh3nchqpc7ydncr38wvn26lrk5w8ds7639szyqstkgrwfqle5hlz0wuafn322wunyal2up3jcrv0h4dr8ylqxrl2uf40te0 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsy67klxr2sact6svaa6sjj9hyc8a37zd3uy7yc54ua7ntnft38fegpzpf7k'>nevent1q…pf7k</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I&#39;ve never really heard of anything similar here in Canada, which is a shame because it would probably be called the Tim Hortons index - the &#34;Timdex&#34;, if you will. I guess we don&#39;t get enough severe weather on a regular basis for it to be a thing. 2024-08-11T02:56:47Z
