Got any links for the metal case?

I use Wayfire (which not many people use for unknown reasons), and one of the things I like to do with it is have a fiery drop-down Kitty terminal. :)

I haven't seen anyone else do a drop-down Kitty in Wayfire before, so I'd like to boldly claim I'm the first one to do so. :) Yes I know it's pointless, but it's also cool, and it's fast thanks to being fully GPU-accelerated, so why not?

And no, I don't use the fire effect for other windows - that'd get real old, real fast. Thanks to Wayfire, I can define window rules so the effect only applies to my drop-down kitty. Also, my regular kitty windows open normally, without any fancy effects - and it's possible to differentiate this thanks to kitty allowing you to specify an custom appid.

I also use doas instead of sudo. I just got tired always fighting with sudoers, doas is so much more easier to setup and work with.

Finally, I use grc to colorize all my log output. Makes my journactl looks nice. :)

Interesting, I had no idea about this. Thanks for sharing! And it looks like there's even an R4 with WiFi-7!

I know about it, but I prefer Asuswrt Merlin firmware for my routers, because I mainly use ASUS routers (powerful, modern (WiFi 6E etc) , easy to find second-hand models for cheap) and Merlin firmware is very well integrated with the routers and uses the same UI as the stock firmware, but provides additional features like a package manger etc.

In fact I believe ASUS themselves have started to use some of Merlin's patches in their firmware, which goes to show how professional Merlin is.

Sounds like you're after CatalogFS.

Ptyxis, it's a modern, container-friendly, Wayland-friendly GTK-based terminal.

Don't use Flatpak etc for VPNs, it's limited, insecure and pointless.

It's highly likely that the Flatpak version is not routing your DNS queries, thus leaking your location. I wouldn't be surprised if other traffic is being leaked as well.

Since you're on normal Fedora, just use the normal app (.rpm): https://protonvpn.com/support/official-linux-vpn-fedora/. Don't use the CLI version though, as it's still on the old version (v3).

I think they're referring to SR-IOV support (Single Root Input/Output Virtualization). It's a technology that allows a single hardware device, like a GPU, to be shared across multiple virtual machines (VMs) with minimal overhead. In short, it lets you split your GPU into smaller GPUs that you can then distribute to VMs. This, historically, has been the domain of enterprise and industrial applications, but that's changing. With Linux gaming on the rise, and more tech enthusiasts then ever, more and more people are trying virtualization and more and more consumers feel the need for SR-IOV. Right now, only a handful of expensive, enterprise-tier AMD GPUs have SR-IOV support. I believe it's the same situation with nVidia, but you can unlock the feature on their consumer GPUs with some third-party tool (AFAIK).

The official Discord client sucks - uses an outdated Electron, is bloated, has trackers, doesn't work well under Wayland... lots of issues. I'd recommend using something like Webcord (wrapper for the official Discord site + privacy fixes), or Vesktop (lightweight Discord client with current Electron and better privacy). If you're concerned about ToS then you could also use the official website as a PWA - still a better option than the official client.

I have a Zen 2, Zen 3+ and a Zen 4 system and they all work well very with various Linux distros (Arch, Fedora) and recent kernels.

It's very likely that your bug is specific to early Ryzen CPUs/chipsets. A couple of folks on those reports mentioned their issues went away after a motherboard/BIOS upgrade. So I think you'll be fine if you went for a more recent AMD CPU+mobo.

You don't.
