Love me some flatpak updates. I hope it will be as good as Android’s sandboxing in the near future.

I love systemd!

A Linux distribution is just the Linux kernel distributed with various other pieces of software that make it usable. Often times, there are multiple software projects that aim achieve the same goal by going in different paths. These are packaged together by the distro maintainers who mostly do this out of passion.

Different distros prioritize different aspects of the software they package and they do this in different ways. To make the best choice for you, it is best to try and understand what each distro aims to do. Here are a few examples out my head:

• Debian is a traditional distribution that aims to keep the system stable for a few years. They do backport security patches, but slow rollout of feature updates is a deal-breaker for some people (like me).
• CachyOS (based on Arch Linux) compiles it’s packages utilizing newest CPU instructions which may lead to slight performance gain on newer hardware. They also ship some kernel patches optimizing it for gaming use cases.
• Bazzite is based on an atomic/immutable version of Fedora. The aim here is to provide a system that makes it very hard for users to mess it up, using containerization technologies. It also means that installing packages in the traditional way is not very feasible or recommended. You are supposed to install packages without root access and using technologies like flatpak. It also includes some gaming specific kernel patches similar to CachyOS, but not as many.

It looks like you opted for home directory encryption when installing the OS and somehow it got unmounted. It is also likely that by trying to delete encrypted chunks you have corrupted your home directory, which might explain login not working.

It seems like the change affects not just Google Chrome, but the Chromium in general. I assume this will also propogate to all apps using Electron, right?

Fedora is not Red Hat. While they fund Fedora development, they don’t dictate how to it is ran.

Fedora KDE pretty much offers the best KDE Plasma experience, maybe right after OpenSuse.

If you are still using Fedora, I recommend sticking with it. It doesn’t get much better than that.

What you are referring to are the window decorations.

Apart from Linux Mint, Firefox almost always uses client-side decorations. What you are showing here is still client-side.

It is just that Mozilla recently enabled vertical tabs option for everyone, so the top bar is now slightly smaller than before. You can disable vertical tabs easily by searching in the settings.

I am using OBS Game Capture plugin and it works perfectly on Wayland. I have yet try it with Wine Wayland, though.

I am using an atomic distribution (uBlue) and installing packages with homebrew is much more convenient than overlaying them with rpm-ostree.

LoL, it really reads like an April Fool’s day article

Fedora uses RPM packaging format and dnf is just a front-end for that. Atomic variants of Fedora and uBlue distros (they are based on the former) use rpm-ostree, which also works with RPM.

Also, please stop being so confident in your stance when you don’t know much about Linux or your distribution of choice. People are here to help you only out of kindness and not obligation.

Any alternatives for learning Japanese? I have already learned about 500 words and 20 kanji.

From Merriam-Webster:

especially : widely and unfavorably known

I believe “notorious” is used in negative contexts, and was curious why Switzerland being respectful of privacy would be a bad thing.

Why “notoriously” though?

Your post is very confusing. Is this meant to be a tutorial?

I think it would fit in linux_gaming@lemmy.world or linux_gaming@lemmy.ml more.

It is great. I have been using Linux for about three years and majority of that was with KDE Plasma and its Wayland session. Most of that time was with Arch and Fedora and it was all smooth sailing.

It was faster and smoother than GNOME Shell, Cinnamon or any other desktop I have tried.

It may have slightly more bugs compared to GNOME Shell due to sheer amount of features it has.

As others have mentioned, you might have a hardware issue that coincidentally pops up with Plasma.

Fedora version has been packaged by Fedora Linux developers, while the other is published by LibreOffice developers themselves. The former may be only slightly out of date. Choose whichever one you feel comfortable with.
