a-man-from-earth

It was time for me to return to Linux, which I’ve been using on and off for two decades. This time I wanted to give Nobara a go, with its optimizations for gaming. But alas, the LiveUSB is unusable. The default options lead to a black screen (I guess when the kernel framebuffer kicks in), and the “troubleshooting” option gives me a desktop that crashes in a few minutes, when still setting up the options in the installer. I guess Wayland is too unstable.

So I returned to Gentoo and am now in the middle of installing that (again). Its LiveUSB system is stable and giving me no problem.

Ah! My bad.

It’s confusing as the post appears here to be coming from kbin.social, but now I see it’s actually posted in a community on lemmy.world.

On desktop, when you hover over someone’s user name, after a couple of seconds a pop-up will appear, which has a field for adding a note. I’m assuming that’s private, to mirror how that works elsewhere, but I’m not 100% sure.
