still won’t allow copy/paste with CLI programs without using an extra, implementation-specific, piece of software

What are you referring to here? I haven’t noticed anything out of place on KDE regarding copy/paste…

The EU needs to start planning now (well, really, needed to start planning in 2016) to replace every critical system that relies in any way on the US government.

If you think of money invested vs. return on government programs like this, the benefit is incredible. That it’s being discontinued is obvious proof that the US is run by the agents of its own destruction and cannot be relied upon in any way: not as a supplier of military equipment, or information technology, or economic codependency.

does the ability to view websites other than Space Jam '96 really improve your life?

Yeah he’s a KDE dev and has an actually quite good YouTube channel that really should have more subscribers than it does

Fedora KDE spin

I started trying out Linux a few years ago, on a few different computers. Well first, a really long time ago, but I was a Mac user for a long time, and then switched to Windows in 2018, so my modern Linux experience started in 2021 or so.

On my home PC I started with Mint, but because I was doing some programming, ran into problems because the compilers and CMake there were too old to compile a few things I needed to work on (CUDA was the problem for CMake, C++20 was the problem for the compilers). Switched to Tumbleweed, was happy with that for a while.

Meanwhile, on my laptop, I switched from Manjaro to Fedora KDE spin after some stability problems, and was so pleasantly surprised by how it was both solid and up-to-date, that I ended up moving everything to that.

Edit: biggest problem I had was when I tried to install Mint on an office PC that I built for myself. Mint didn’t support the on-board ethernet so I had no way of getting it online, and after getting lost in forum posts, gave up.

mainly it was because I was trying it from my linux desktop, and if you try to download a large collection of files from the onedrive web interface it’s 50/50 if it fails half-way through

It mostly has to do with formatting things: sometimes I’ll go to a conference, and they want the slides put on their computer, and powerpoint might display differently than on my Linux laptop, or collaborating on Word documents, where formatting can be somewhat fragile. In the past few conferences though, I got by fine with my laptop, making a PDF of the slides as a backup… So I was confident that things will turn out okay before I pulled the plug.

Life is row-order; suck it, FORTRAN

Did I understand it right that you installed the driver manually? It’s generally better to use the Fedora Nvidia driver package (sudo dnf install akmod-nvidia), than to download from Nvidia’s website. I’m on Fedora 40 too, and currently using the 560.35.03 version of the driver on a 2080, which upgraded from 555 recently - I wonder if that’s what broke compatibility with your version of the driver. It may be that you need to update. Only thing I’m not sure of is how this will interact with manually-installed drivers…

I’ve wanted this for a while; when I’m done with my computer, I don’t mind it staying on a bit longer to do this, rather than when I next turn it on when I (presumably) want to do something. Great add!
