Mac os is pretty bad with that bullshit too

Amen. This is similar to the experience I have too. When I use Windows I have as many if not more problems. If I was only using a web browser, like most non-power users, I would have across the board worse issues on windows.

Token Linux hater of the thread. Have a cookie for fulfilling this important role of reminding us that Linux is the only OS family that ever needs troubleshooting

What is AOVPN?

I’ve been trialing some similar apps and none of them really fully satisfy me, including immich. Mostly because they all make it clunky to exclude some photos from showing up, or indexing being slow as hell and not particularly good at removing photos I recently ignored, deleted or moved. Immich in particular is bad with the ignore part. I wish I could edit a text block that defined ignore rules like a gitignore, but instead you have to add each rule separately in the UI. Then it feels very slow to add thumbnails for raw files and slow to index period. So many of these apps seem to me like they fumbled the ball just short of a touchdown because otherwise the featuresets seem nice.

I have tried damselfly, immich, libre photos, photo prism, and I tried to configure nextcloud memories but I could not even get it running. It seemed pretty complicated and picky about its setup.

Yeah, I don’t 100% love that’s on my default but I also don’t think it’s a huge deal

Another case of user matching tag

I’ve been using Plex for over 10 years and I can’t say anything about it has changed for the worse honestly

Pop OS is excellent. You wouldn’t really know it’s created by a corporation. It’s basically just the build they run on their hardware but I’ve not seen anything in it like ads or anything limiting my freedom. My perception of it is that it’s just a more friendly and (snap-free) Ubuntu and I concur with those saying Nvidia is smoother on it. It does have a modified gnome but coming in the near future is their own DE called cosmic which seems promising. If it ends up being bad I will probably just switch to fedora even though Debian based distros are more supported. Been loving fedora on my new laptop

Hmm, so I left that link above running in an active Firefox tab for about an hour and a half and didn’t see any crashes. I’m wondering again if you may have an obscure hardware issue. Either that or perhaps Fedora recently pushed out an update that fixed that issue. In any case I hope this might help to know. Have a good day!

Yeah same machine I have. Forgive my ignorance – I’ve actually not used Tumblr very much. Could you link me to a page with a looping video? Somehow I’m having trouble finding a non-gif video at the moment.

Yeah you’re right that a website shouldn’t be able to cause that issue. I’m wondering if it’s a hardware issue. I’ll try to reproduce this later on and will report back. You said you have the current amd chip, framework 13 right?

Huh, yeah… I’m running fedora, whatever the latest is. Maybe my smoothest Linux experience yet. I don’t use Tumblr but I think that codebase is probably ancient and also doesn’t it do an infinite scroll? That could be part of the problem, that’s a hard thing to perfect. Curious – were you using chromium or Firefox? For me it’s Firefox all the way. Seems to work great so far

I have had that laptop a couple weeks and have been loving it. On fedora, everything pretty much just works flawlessly with no effort. I had a small issue figuring out how to turn off secure boot at first (f2 at boot time I think?) because that menu was separate from the rest of bios.

Other than the speaker not being great (not surprising) and the battery life being meh, it’s a very impressive machine. Mac laptops for me have always been the gold standard for smooth operation but I despise apple, so when I got this machine and it felt mostly like the smoothness of a MacBook pro with the freedom of Linux, I was super stoked about this laptop. It feels very snappy and the keyboard and touchpad are great.

What distro has given you trouble on gnome? I’ve had mine a couple weeks and it’s been pretty solid on fedora (gnome)

Describes my experience exactly! I’m liking Fedora

Thank you for that validation! I actually just tested mine and saw the same results as you describe. I would drop about 30-50 frames going full screen and then only one here or there every few minutes. It is damned close to perfect.
