I am using ckb-next for my Corsair mouse and keyboard. Just check if your mouse is supported.

One thing I couldn’t so in Linux is save light settings to the on-board memory. For that I had to open Windows and the Corsair iCue software and save it from there. After that my mouse and keyboard boots with correct light colors

Your plasma desktop crashing with dual screens is something that’s not normal. I use two monitors all the time and my desktop has never crashed.

The day has come! I have been pretty excited for this release since Vanilla OS 2 was announced. I will have to try it out as soon as I can

Oh okey! I wonder what could have went wrong then. I’m glad you found a workaround to your problem

Do you have that drive mounted in Steam as a library? I have had a similar issue with an NTFS formatted drive

If you want an Arch-based gaming distro there is Garuda (also a non heavily-themed version). I used Garuda before switching to plain Arch. It ran pretty well and I really liked the btrfs filesystem and the snapshots. It meant I could easily restore a backup of my system if I manage to break it. Which I did a few times.

This is great! I have managed to get a few kernel panics on my system related to Steam and NTFS drives.

I have a shared HDD formated to NTFS that I have imported to Steam as a library. It sometimes that HDD is not mounted at boot due to some error, which have resulted in me installing the same game on my main drive. When I later tried mount my old HDD and import the Steam library my computer just froze. Every time I opened Steam after that the kernel panicked. I didn’t know it was a kernel panic at the time. I ended up dismounting the NTFS drive and uninstalling the duplicate games.

I wonder if I can dig up the old kernel panic logs with this.

I was just curious about why you think this way. It’s not a big deal to anyone except you. The KDE team already has a deadline for new feature before a big release in order to have enough time for testing and fixing. And this wasn’t a big change or new feature so they decided to implement it. It’s pretty bold to assume this was a huge change. Both of us can go check the source code but I don’t care enough to do it.

The edit mode works a lot better now and it’s not as buggy from my experience.

If you really care about stability then use Debian or any other distro that delays big updates and does backports to fixes. Exactly like you are suggesting. If you are using Arch or any other rolling release distro then this is what you signed up for.

The desktop edit change is a huge change for the developers and for the end user, with lot of background changes to make it work correctly, with lot of fixes after it.

How do you know this? The desktop edit feature was already in place. It’s not new. They refined the UI in 6.1 and made the desktop zoom out

Yeah kinda. A container has a lot better performance than a virtual machine and can interact with your system

Vanilla OS 2.0 looks promising in my opinion. But it’s not out yet unfortunately. It’s an immutable distro that has integrated containers for all the main Linux distros. You can for example install Ubuntu, Fedora and Arch stuff on the same machine.

Does this list include rolling release distros like Arch? Because I can see no mention of it

If you want to play games then check out Nobara. It’s based on Fedora and made by the guy that created GE Proton

What’s up with all the negativity around flatpaks? I use Arch (btw) and I try to install as much as I can using flatpak. I think they are great. They are compatible, usually up to date, easy to install, easy to remove and it won’t break your system. The sandbox can be edited to include more paths etc.

I would like to recommend Yabsnap as an alternative to Snapper. It’s made for Arch, tested on Fedora and might work on other distros. But it needs more eyes and testers!

Edit: thank you for the list! It’s very nice to see what is available for btrfs

I have heard that Nobara Linux is great for gaming but I can not confirm since I use Arch btw

Edit: sorry for the double post. My lemmy app threw me an error now I can not delete my second comment

Start menu looks like Win10/11 with ads, suggestions and news. This is not how XP used looked like
