Also, get a sleep study for sleep apnea. "It is estimated to affect 10% to 30% of adults in the United States but in many cases goes undiagnosed". -National Sleep Foundation

I've got a thunderbolt chip on an AMD motherboard, which doesn't usually happen, and I'm running an LG 5k monitor through it. I use an IBM model M over native PS/2. I've got a Ryzen 7, but a GTX 1060 cuz it still works. It's running Ultramarine Linux, based on Fedora.

Elementary OS Freya. I love a good GUI

Can confirm Gnome has Wayland/xorg switching in the same manner.

Fedora is a great foundation for stability and up to date software. I personally use Ultramarine Linux; it's a general purpose distro based on Fedora, but with more desktop environments, more available packages, more media codecs (plain fedora leaves out a bunch of codecs that you need to play audio or video files), and some more sane defaults. Even with all that, it isn't noticeably more bloated than Fedora; it just gives you more options and makes it so that you don't have to follow a "Things You MUST Do After I stalling Fedora" article.

Wayland works with Nvidia in my experience, and Wayland is remarkably stable and xorg-compatible. Folks will argue about that, but it's been great for the few years I've used it on my laptop and desktop. I know at least Ultramarine installs both, and you can switch between them on the login screen, so give it a shot.

If your games don't work, it's quite normal to dual boot windows just for gaming.

Also, you might consider making your home folder a separate partition. That means you can reinstall and switch distros while leaving your documents and media and such in place. That said, partitioning manually is hard to get the hang of; let me know if you want some help on that front.

They said "free" and I elected to interpret that in the way that allowed me to make a little joke

My first flag! For the small city of Morrilton, AR, USA (sh.itjust.works)
 

Criticism is welcome!

Symbolism breakdown:

  • The gold semicircle represents the rising or setting sun, a symbol of change. Morrilton is currently growing after a period of decline, so this sun represents the glories of the past and of the future.
  • The white field represents a blank slate, the city's enormous potential to grow. It also represents the sense of morality and community that binds its people together.
  • The green band represents Petit Jean mountain just outside the city, and the semicircular cutout represents the Arkansas River Valley which encompasses Morrilton and many of its neighbors.
  • The ruddy semicircle with white border represents a wine glass; Morrilton is the seat of Conway county, where the sale of alcohol is allowed, surrounded by dry counties to the east, north, and west. The color also represents Morrilton's 3 major educational institutions (UACCM, SCCSD, and Sacred Heart) all of whose primary school colors are a shade of red.
  • The blue band represents the Arkansas River, on whose shores the original settlement was built. This further represents the rich history of the city, as well as the past and present flow of trade along the river, railroads, and I-40.

I feel somewhat confident in the geometry of this design, but I don't know anything about color theory so I'm open to suggestions on that. The present colors were picked with the help of an AI, followed by some mathematical derivation using software and hand tweaking.

FOSS Streaming Box? (sh.itjust.works)
 

Before I buy another Roku, are there any options for a streaming box/stick that run FOSS? A foss derivitive of android TV would be nice if that exists, ideally preloaded on an inexpensive and compact piece of hardware.
