I want to test PikaOS on Oracle Virtualbox, but it doesn't want to cooperate. System shows the following error:

>No bootable medium found!
Please insert a bootable medium and reboot.

I have tested Niri and GNOME images, and it happens on both.

Some people claim that Fedora is not as reliable as Ubuntu LTS (and most distributions based on it). Meaning that even if you do nothing to break your system purposefully, an update can break it anyway (in more or less severe way). And I wanted to ask, is it also the case for Fedora based distributions, like Ultramarine or Nobara?

I'm preparing to abandon ship before Windows 10 becomes unusable, and while I'm leaning into Ubuntu family (widest software support, reliable), I have trouble finding Ubuntu based distribution that satisfies my needs (doesn't use Snap, has Wayland, is not in beta). So perhaps Fedora might be better alternative.

Firefox can attempt to open link in other desktop application (for example link to game modification with a mod manager). Is it possible to remove that link? Because it looks like once the association is created, there is no way to remove it. And I would want to avoid reinstalling Firefox just for that.

On my brand new Pixel 9a haptics seem to work fine, but they are randomly inconsistent. It seems to only happen during sliding down the notification bar - instead of vibrating once, it vibrates 2-3 times. I also can't trigger it by repeatedly sliding it down and up - it can only happen when application has been closed seconds before. I have found only one topic here from 4 years ago, but it doesn't offer any fixes.

I don't know what to do with it, but it doesn't look like hardware failure. I would want to avoid replacing the unit, since there are high odds new one will behave the same, and it would cost me hardened glass, which wasn't cheap.

There is a very heated discussion about this topic, and I don't know if I will find definitive answer, but I suppose it won't hurt to ask. I'm definitely in team Debian/Ubuntu, and I'm thinking which distribution should I pick once Windows 10 becomes unusable. In theory Pop!_OS is the best option for (Ubuntu) gaming, but it's in very weird state where it's unstable due to release of COSMIC DE before it was actually ready for public. Which leads me to Linux Mint - there are plenty of people who use it and are satisfied, but there is also plenty of people who say you can't game properly on it.

Before someone comes in and recommends Bazzite and Cachy - I don't like immutable systems and Arch.

Edit

I have AMD GPU, so all Nvidia related problems do not apply.

Easily half of my inventory is being wasted on antiques, and it's starting to be very annoying. I have no idea what to do with them (outside of discarding them). Apparently there is an "old man" at the top of Halo Peak that will take it from you. But on my end there is no old man at the top of Halo Peak.
