Thanks for the tip regarding the IP segment, that seemed to be it. I needed to use the correct broadcast IP for the subnet (I think? I’m bad with networks. I used 192.168.2.255 instead of 255.255.255.255, and now it works)

And yeah, I am looking to get a router at some point. Hard to make such a purchase when I’m struggling to make ends meet currently, though.

How would this explain the packet not reaching the server in a powered on state?

Why not make one?

Or just use Debian

Fair point

Do you need windows running on bare metal? I’m quite happy with a VM for all my windows usage. For example the mouse I use has a config tool that only works on windows

Nvidia drivers are a bit more of a hassle than amd but apparently bazzite does a good job at working out of the box with nvidia.

Maybe having issues as bad as sound completely being broken isn’t typical but some kind of issues that you need to tweak yourself are normal. More so than on windows, I think. Sure, a power user who is privacy conscious definitely needs to tweak windows a whole lot to get it to a state they are comfortable with. But if all you want to do is browse Facebook and YouTube, windows is absolutely way more hands off. Even if Linux is getting there.

Yeah same here.

My biggest two problems are: my audio interface of my desktop PC doesn’t power cycle correctly when the PC enters sleep, resulting in me having to re-plug the device after sleep. No command or kernel param I tried fixed this issue. Issue persist across different distros (Pop, Nobara, Arch) And on my media laptop KDE likes to skip to the beginning of the video a short while after pauaing for some reason. It happens in haruna and in Firefox, but only when I have the Firefox KDE integration plugin installed. It used to work fine on vanilla arch, this only started once I installed cachy to try it out. Currently downloading tumbleweed to see if it works there.

A small price to pay IMO.

No Problem :) cool username BTW, love the Asterix & Obelix Comics!

I found that I was able to purposefully train my heliboard. type the word you want it to learn, and try to swipe it right afterwards. Keep tapping the word you want in the suggested words at the top while you do this. Do that a few times and it should learn the word. I made mine type c’est in like 2 minutes, and my heliboard is configured to english and german

Fair enough lol

Why doesn’t apk have a routine that disables 3rd party repos when doing a full system update?

Even with an DE installed, Linux doesn’t force you to use it. Pressing Ctrl+alt and any of the F-keys is usually configured to switching between sessions. So even if the DE gets stuck and gets fully unresponsive, you can still switch to a different session and access your system through a terminal. Using that terminal you could also install a different DE (or window compositor)

I mean, technically they’re called cron jobs, although the name cron does come from the Greek word chronos.

Just remember that you can easily generate a list of all explicitly installed packages. You’ll figure out how exactly when you end up needing it.

Ooooh tmpv is a smart name for your little tool. I may steal it lol

What do you mean by pip in any window? I’m assuming you mean picture-in-picture, which doesn’t make much sense to me if you can just rearrange the windows?

Those changes look amazing tbh. Just being able to resize the selection and having the magnifying lens is great.
