Hi everyone!
I’m a Playstation gamer looking into moving to Linux gaming as the next Playstation might not be able to play physical games.
Here are my 2 computers:
MacBook Pro 2012 (upgraded) with Fedora 41
Surface Go 1 with Fedora 41
I bought Frostpunk on Steam after checking on Proton DB that it would normally run on the MacBook as I knew the Surface Go would probably be way too weak.
According to Proton DB it’s a Gold game.
In the end, no matter what version of Proton I use, it doesn’t launch on the MacBook. I have a black screen, some icy sounds and then it crashes at best..
I then thought, let’s give it a try on the Surface Go and it launched immediately without any tinkering using Proton experimental.
But, the game crashes when the firat cinematic starts, probably because it’s loading too many assets for the Surface.
If anyone has an idea about what to try too many get it working on the MacBook, I would be thankful.
In the meantime, I would want to know, how do you know if a game is gonna run on your machine?
Hi everyone!
I'm struggling with two things on my Surface Go 1 with Fedora 41 on it.
I'm trying to get rid of the Surface Kernel I once installed. Apparently I should type sudo dnf remove kernel-surface but then the terminal tells me that there is no corresponding package. Still, when I type uname -a I can see that the kernel is 6.12.7-1.surface.fc41.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT. How can I get rid of it as it makes things tricky if I want to deploy my installation on another computer?
I'm looking for a PDF viewer which would allow me to go from one PDF file to another without going back to the file explorer. In a way, I'd want it to work a bit like an image viewer where you only have to click on an arrow to go to the next image. Is there such a program?
Thanks for your help!
Hi everyone,
I have a finely tuned Fedora 40 image that I cloned using Clonezilla (see: https://sh.itjust.works/post/25762756)
I wanted to deploy it on my old Acer Aspire 5737z but it won’t boot. It’s just displaying a — on a black screen for hours.
I’m not so knowledgeable but I guess it means I would have to reinstall the GRUB or whatever.
I’ve booted into my Fedora Live USB and tried the lsblk command people were talking about on the web (I don’t understand the terminal). Here's the result.
I think the SDA disk is the one I would like to boot from.
Can anyone help me understand what I have to do 😇🙏
I’d almost love if games were released and getting no updates after that. But only if the games are released in a complete state.
I hate the fact that you shouldn’t play some games as soon as they are released, because you’d be playing the inferior version.
That needs to change.
Hi everyone!
A few days ago, I had a problem while trying to run KDE and Gnome as DE on Fedora 40. That problem was solved (see crosspost), but now, I can't update Fedora anymore as it says "the transaction did not complete" and I can't install or uninstall anything as it says I don't have space on my disk (which is not true).
Does anyone have an idea what to do?
Edit: apparently dnf clean and dnf clean all solved the problem, so thank you everyone as I was kind of panicking when I thought about all the work involved into having my perfect install again.

Hi everyone!
Today I tried to install KDE alongside Gnome to give it a try on Fedora on something else than a virtual machine.
For a reason I can't understand, the terminal couldn't finish the installation of KDE as something failed. Despite all of this, all the KDE apps were installed and Plasma is appearing as an option on the login screen under Gnome and Gnome Classic. Still I couldn't launch KDE plasma and nothing was happening after typing my login.
I took it as a sign that KDE isn't for me, especially because I'm 99% happy with Gnome.
So I removed KDE via the terminal and the remaining apps via the software center. Sadly, there is one app called "Centre de bienvenue" or "Welcome center" from KDE that I can't remove. Nothing is happening when I try removing it.
I tried removing it via the terminal, but when I type "dnf list installed" I can't find it as there are too many packages. Could anyone help me?
I also tried « dnf list installed » with the words « welcome », « bienvenue », « kde » and « plasma ».
I can clearly see this around me.
Not only women, but also elder men, who are really educated but lose their lucidity in front of fake news on the web. I guess it’s also because they come from a time where you were not swimming in fake news.
And sometimes, even if they think it might be fake news, they just send it to you to get your opinion on it.
I hope everyone keeps putting some pressure on legislators about such things.
We have to remind companies that buying is buying.
I wish there was a petition for my country.
Good news I guess as I’ll never again buy a new computer which can’t be upgraded in the long term.
It ain’t my vision anymore and I hope more and more consumers think about buying second hand or buying upgradeable computers.
Happy to be almost degoogled when I read such things.
If only it was easy to get rid of YouTube..
I love what fairphone and some other companies are doing.
Still some of their earphones got a 1/10 reparability on ifixit, so I’d really check how reparaible these ones are.
I’ll probably buy an electric car one day, but I’ll be paying a lot of attention to its repairability. We have to make sure brands understand that « programmed obsolescence » isn’t accepted by everyone!
I wasn’t really against Reddit when I left to go on Lemmy. It was mostly to try something which is luving because of its users.
Now I’m glad I did.
Well whoever is taking them away should reimburse the clients if they were not made aware that they didn’t own the show but were just renting it.
These behaviors are dangerous and shouldn’t be legal. You press « buy », you own the product, not the right to watch it for a few years.
Apple is making really good hardware but we should stop buying it because of what they are doing against repairabality or because of the fact that they trying to capture you in their ecosystem.
I ain’t a super Linux user, but I find it crazy that so many governments aren’t scared to put their data in the hands of US corporations like Microsoft of Apple.
I work for the state in Geneva, Switzerland, and my employers gives me an iPhone and forces me to use Windows at work.
I know that developing your own Linux distribution or any other solution is difficult but my country is even using a foreign cloud service instead of a swiss one😨
For image backups I use Clonezilla.
It works well but I don’t know how easily you could take an image from one computer to a different one. I tried once and it didn’t work because of Legacy Bios issues..still I guess it works between two modern computers.
I’d love if something like this was implemented directly in a distribution for ease of use.
