  • I had problems with waking from sleep/hibernate, audio issues (total dropouts as well as distortion in screen-recording apps), choppy video playback and refusal to enter fullscreen, wonky cursor scaling, apps not working as expected or not running at all. I’ve managed to fix most of these or find temporary workarounds (grateful for flatpaks for once!) or alternative applications. But the experience was not fun, particularly as there was only a 2 week return window for the laptop and I needed to be sure the problems weren’t hardware design/choice related. And I’m finding it 50/50 whether an app actually works when I install it from the repo. There’s a lot less documentation for manually installing things as well and DNF is slow compared to apt…

    I don’t want to say for certain that Fedora as a distro is to blame but I suspect that it is. I miss my Debian days.








  • No, I think it’s a good assessment.

    I swing between A and B and find B to be most healthy and reasonable, because I have no political power as well as for my own wellbeing.

    Ive tried RSS for world news but find it even more overwhelming than browsing news sites because it’s displayed more compactly and looks like an avalanche of dystopian madness if I dont open the feed for a day or two.

    What I really want is a weekly or maybe bi-weekly roundup of the five or ten most important global events. If anyone knows of a feed like that please let me know!
