In today world, you don’t need to specialize in something to fix basic issues. Simple online search will help you with most basic issues You encounter which is probably 60-70% issues most people have with cars, computers or etc.

I don’t blame people that they can’t recompile a kernel, applying a patch to fix some random issue. But I blame people that didn’t want to spend 30s on searching how to fix their minor issue like for example checking execute permission for appimage, Search engines today even tell you how to do it in a small AI window on top of the page.

Internet really helped people to gain a basic knowledge in a matter of seconds and yet they still don’t want it

It’s probably because you need to go to Steam settings and enable Proton for all games. I don’t understand why this is still not turned on by default…

Ok, so I guess I’ll need to move to the USA in the future

In the release blog they mentioned working on appimage. Right now they are only using it for testing purposes and it should be compatbible with Debian. But there is no “official” distribution as of now.

Are you using the rpm-fusion mesa drivers or Fedora’s (assuming you use Intel / AMD card)?

You can connect to wifi via tty using nmcli command: nmcli --ask dev wifi connect CoolNetwork123

GIMP supports JPEG XL natively in 3.0 development versions. If I remember correctly GIMP 2.10 was released before JPEG-XL was ready, so I think that’s the reason. They could have added support in smaller update though, which was the case with AVIF.

I’m missing a good GUI to manage SELinux. It is probably because I don’t know how to handle it but I hate this thing with passion.

The problem is, for the current Arc achitecture (DG2), the officially supported driver is the old i915. Xe will always be ‘experimental’ and it won’t have media encoding capabilities because Intel said it’s “too hard to implement for DG2”. It’s better to wait for the Battlemage / DG3 graphics cards so you can use better Xe driver that can also handle media encoding and decoding.

As for the raw performance on the i915. It’s terrible. Most of the games that I was testing work better on my RX 6600 than Arc A750. The only positive thing I can tell about this card is that it performed really well in terms of stability on Wayland, and a really great video encoding efficiency.

Both should be possible. I am using the psuedo 2FA method. First I type the PIN and after that I confirm with YubiKey.

It is, I have it set up on my laptop. It’s a bit finicky in how it works and it’s not easy to setup, but it is possible.
