Hi all, I've been using an RX 580 for about a year now. It's been ok, but I needed an upgrade for a little more FPS. Found this RX 6600~~XT~~ used and snagged it for $100. Are there any packages I'll need to install to make sure I get the best out of it? I know AMD support is baked into the kernel, but I remember having to install some Vulkan driver for my old GPU when I had some gaming issues. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Distro is Endeavour OS with the latest KDE plasma on Wayland.
Thank you

The app hardly ever keeps my place in the feed when I exit it and come back to it after a while, and then I'd go hunting for where I was. My phone has 16GB of RAM, so that's plenty.

Is it just me, or are you folks running Wayland with no issues? I've even forgotten I was on Wayland until I looked at the settings the other day. I have all AMD, btw. I have zero issues so far. Anyone else?

Hi all, I have a desktop and laptop with a touchscreen. Both running Plasma/Wayland. English is my second language and I search things in my language often. Maliit works just fine on the laptop, but it's basically a dud on the desktop. I can only enable and disable it. It never shows nor work at all on the desktop. Tried onboard, gnomes on screen keyboard, and that thing is useless, too. Anyway to make Maliit work or is there an alternative? I really need it for the desktop. Thanks.

What is this message on the lock screen? I get this at really random times and very rarely. Is this a bug? If so, I'll report it. If it's not a big, then what is it?

How does this firm (or whatever it is) know I torrented something? My VPN app took a shit in the middle of a download and I think it exposed my IP to some "anti-piracy" bullshit firm that contacted my ISP. ISP emailed to let me know and to "not do it again". How does this firm know about torrenting? Do they like watch these sites and hope someone's VPN slips like mine did today?

Running Endeavour OS Linux and just updated to plasma 6.0.5, framework 6.3.0, Qt version 6.7.1 on Wayland. I use capslock strictly as my brain refuses to learn using shift (I do touch type no problem), but as well know the capslock is very slow on Linux which always results in text like THis. So, I've found a fix for it online and one of the steps is to enable the option "make capslock an additional Ctrl", but that's not gone :/ What to do?

Not sure if this is something voyager can do or if it's a Lemmy thing. I don't see any indicator that a post is locked when the mods lock it.

Hi all, I've been searching the web for a long while now and I can't find anything. Maybe it's just my rusty English (second language of course). I have an app called "dynamic wallpapers" that creates two wallpapers into one where one is light and the other is dark. The light one is automatically selected by my system when I have the light theme on, and the dark one is also automatically selected when I have the dark theme on (I hope this makes sense). I use the gnome desktop on Linux if that helps. So, I'm looking for wallpapers that are exactly the same, but one is dimmer than the other for both themes. For example, a picture of a mountain with the sun above it, and another with the same mountain and everything, but it's night time and the moon is there instead of the sun. Or just like the windows 11 default wallpaper, the light one and dark one. I really hope I'm making sense. Please ask me for more details if I'm not making sense. Does anyone know of any website that has such wallpapers? Please let me know. I'd very much appreciate any help. Thank you.

Like the title says, are there any EVs that just have a Bluetooth radio and that's it? Like a normal car, not a smartphone on wheels? If not, do you all think that this will actually happen at some point? This is the main reason why I can't (and will never) buy an EV. I like to have actual buttons everywhere on my car. I think those massive tablets on these cars with all the touch buttons are very dangerous. I like an "entertainment system" that only connects to my phone with either a headphone jack ~~of~~ or Bluetooth. It's a car, not a PC.

I was going through my block list and found out that there is no way to unblock any of them on the app. There was nothing to click or 3 dots for options or anything. Just a list of the blocked communities. Anyone knows how? Thanks

Switching from Endeavour OS to Nobara

Hi all, I've been having issues with my favorite games on EndeavourOS Linux. Also, on top of that, an update the other day deleted my whole plasma desktop and left me with a skeleton of SDDM. I got it fixed, but some things are still wonky. I'm honestly getting tired of maintaining it and I just want something that just works for my video games and some coding. Nobara sounded awesome after some research. I do have a couple of questions for you all before switching:

1. Is Nobara atomic? Immutable? Or whatever those distros are called.

2. I have my /root, /home separate each in their own drive, plus a 3rd one for my steam and other games. Since I'm coming from Arch and I'll only be formatting my root drive, what folders/files will I need to remove from my /home directory after switching to Nobara so I don't have issues?

3. Since I separate drives for everything, I'll be doing a manual partitioning when I install Nobara, and will be choosing btrfs for my /root so I can do snapshots with timeshift. My question is, does Nobara set up the subvolumes automatically for me when I do manual partitioning, or do I need to set them up myself?

4. How hard is it to set up snapshots in grub?

5. Or does Nobara have a back up tool already that already does snapshots?

Thank you.
