Not only on mobile (IPhone 14) where I get very odd YouTube issues like this on the screen where I’m watching this video but it looks frozen and timer is not moving but also on PC. For example yesterday when using it on my Debian system I encountered bug when I clicked on a video and page did not react anyhow like I haven’t even pressed anything. Second pressing worked fine.

Can’t remember every issue but this started really bothering me.

On CachyOS I used to go to terminal and add a line in some file to add my old SSD drive for storing work related files. I’ve heard on Bazzite there’s different way for doing it due to it’s immutability.

Guys so I try to reset CMOS by shorting two pins with a screwdriver for 30 second while my pc is unplugged from wall. But it won’t work, Bios is still with correct date and time and settings are not reset. I have no idea what I do wrong. I’m certainly not retarded. I know how to short pins. Yes, it’s the right two pins.

I’m planning on installing Debian Trixie for gaming and general purposes. Among other recommendations I was told to enable contrib non-free repositories. I still didn’t get why I need them. What can I get there that I might be missing?

Do you experience infinite loading in the app center update tab? I’ve seen couple of posts with this issue last week. Always thought Ubuntu was rock solid and no issues like that occurred. Yesterday a guy literally ditched Ubuntu after encountering that saying it’s not ready for daily drive.

Some suggested it was because of attacks on Canonical servers.

For gaming and general browsing with a little libre office work too what would you guys recommend if I want stability and my system is good but not the most recent (RX7600, Ryzen 5 5600x)?

I’m leaning towards Debian Stable rather than Ubuntu. Also don’t recommend me Cachy and Bazzite or “gaming” derivatives. I don’t like the immutability and don’t like rolling release. I’m talking about Debian Stable or Ubuntu only. Also since backports is a thing old Mesa drivers is not an issue.

With Ubuntu I like that its corporation backed OS, is reliable and hassle free. But Debian Stable is rock solid one where you control everything. So both are very much appealing to me.

but I’m made to feel like I’m doing something stupid.

I come from Bazzite and Cachy. Basically no single issue with them but Debian just looks very appealing to me in many ways. Also I’m done with loosing nerves in my life over things and I want stability it offers. Also to me Debian is the closest out of the distros I know to libre philosophy.

I have RX7600, Ryzen 5 5600x and 64GB RAM. My monitor is Lenovo Legion.

I plan playing games like Cyberpunk, Mafia etc. They played on Ultra no issues on Cachy.
Tell me what I need to install and set up to make the most out of what Debian has to offer?

1. Do I need to install “Gamemode”?

2. Is there mangohud and goverlay system packages? (I don’t wanna use flat pack for them).

3. Mesa drivers. Are they very old by default? I don’t wanna mess with experimental and SID versions of Debian because that would negate the reason why I chose Debian in the first place. But is there any official way to update mesa drivers without getting into unstable territory?

4. On Fedora Gnome App Cebter was not very stable. How are things on Debian? I might go with KDE most likely still.

5. How stable is Testing?

6. Would you recommend me going with Ubuntu instead?

Also any personal experience about gaming on Debian after coming from “gaming distros” is much appreciated.

I’m going to install Ubuntu and try to learn every bit of info. I’ve been on Cachy and Bazzite before and used BTRFS file system. I’ve heard Ubuntu has EXT4 as default. Any drawbacks?

When you install Bazzite nowadays it tells you it has added keys to your BIOS or something like that. What happens when you change your motherboard? Do keys get uploaded there again or no?

I want to switch to Ubuntu after being on bleeding edge distribution.

Sure, I can just install Steam and go but if you’re a gamer with some heavy games in mind what do you recommend to install?
Maybe something called “game mode” or do I need wine and its prefixes if I install Lutris and Heroic? How about MangoHud and goverlay like I had in CachyOS?

I haven’t got an answer browsing posts. I want to install Bazzite and I do plan to use VPN occasionally. I have no plans to tinker and have workarounds over manually configurating things - I’d install arch.

Can I just install any popular VPN service app and use GUI to select servers and have convenient experience or it’s unavailable because of Bazzite being immutable?

Which distro would you recommend out of these two? I just want stability and peace trustworthy system. I tried Cachy and I don’t want rolling release.

My rig is RX7600 and R5 5600x.

What are your experiences using those two distros? (BTW I’m even recommended to go Debian instead of Ubuntu).

I used Cachy for couple of months but I’m not very happy with it being arch, rolling, bleeding edge and I have stupid feeling of it went up like other distros that once were loud and popular. I want something calm, well established, stable.

My rig is Ryzen 5 5600X and RX7600. I’m torn between Debian and Ubuntu. Well, I don’t care about corporate stuff (even Windows is not that scary for me) so I’m okay with Gnome, Snaps and other things. Especially since they fixed Steam snap mostly.
I like how it’s a Linux for people. I like it being easy about installing drivers and also being relatively up to date by default.
Debian is more loyal to free software idea and very stable, plus I see many recommend it for gaming rather than Ubuntu, but I mean it’s too old with its kernel and drivers. I have no intention going into stuff like downloading new kernel etc, I want stable software just as it is. I would like to have Valve vram optimizations but hey, Debian is gonna have it available decades from now.

Anyway what’s your experience?

It’s been months. We message each other from time to time. My last visit to his house was on my birthday, June 1st.
Then I’ve been sitting at home in depression. Two weeks ago I told him I wanted to take a trip to a city I always wanted. He told me what places to visit and even suggested going together if he can manage it. I said okay. He couldn’t but he suggested going at a cafe. I said okay. He said he’d bring my remaining stuff too. Ok. It’s 5:18am. We meet at 2pm.

Why would he wanna meet? He stopped messaging me as he used to. We don’t even talk if I don’t send him jokes, memes or initiate any conversation. He’s always very friendly and sweet when we talk.

Why would he want to meet me? One thing I can think of is… him mentioning in June that he would fly to Belarus (his home) to help out his friend to film some movie? I told him he could get detained because… that’s why he left that country. He said he anyway feels like in jail here. Maybe he’s afraid he won’t be coming back after that trip? I dunno.
Also he’s not planning himself for this to be our last meeting because I specifically asked him to bring everything except my plushies because I have depression and I could not stand them in my room yet. I said I would take them later. He said it’s all good.

I’m Georgian. Never have encountered anything like this but today when walking with my new friend (passing the parliament building to go to upper streets to go to Mtatsminda) he noticed that policeman was recording a video from his passing car and he definitely turned his phone to our direction.

WTF?
