Conditional Formatting Broken?

Conditional Formatting Broken?

I'm trying to make a cheatsheet for a farming minigame where seeds are bred and collected. The sheet lays out the different breeding combinations as well as an overall status tracker where 1/2/3 will represent the stage of collection I am at.

I would like every instance of a seed to be conditioned based on the according status code. For example, every instance of Baker's Wheat should turn green when I set the status value to 1, representing that that seed is in my collection.

I am having trouble with the conditional formatting. Only the first cell I apply the conditional formatting to is working correctly. I used the "paint format" to attempt to transfer this behavior to a second instance and it turned green, but it won't turn back to white if I set the tracker to 0 and won't turn to other colors for 2 or 3. If I copy the formatting to further instances, it won't do anything at all. This is even if I add additional cells manually to the conditional formatting menu with commas like: B1, B4, D4, H4. I can click on those cells and see the conditional formatting rule appear, but it just doesn't change color.

Note this sheet was originally created in LibreOffice Calc (ods) to save me the time of arranging all the art again. None of the conditional formatting transferred over, so that is when I discovered this issue.

Here is the sheet with Editor access: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1EXWqyR-zeWwcpg6gJHVtOTBXz3voEfO0uM5TbxgUxQc/edit?usp=sharing

Help Running Gamescope

I just installed "Kubuntu 26.04 LTS - Plasma 6" and have the Steam snap package installed thru Discover. I installed Gamescope thru cmd using "sudo apt install gamescope" and it seemed to be successful. Running "gamescope --version" yields:

[gamescope] [Info]  console: gamescope version 3.16.20+ds-1 (gcc 15.2.0)

Once I put my argument into Steam's launch options - the "play" button seems to try the gamescope cmd and fail before returning back to "play".

Currently running the open kernel 595 nvidia driver from the driver manager. My launch argument is as follows. It was working on Fedora before Fedora completely nuked itself and I decided to try Kubuntu.

gamescope -w 1280 -h 720 -r 144 -o 30 -b --adaptive-sync -- %command%

Appreciate any help!

Is Linux Constantly Breaking the Norm?

I'm getting tired of Microsoft's shenanigans and interested in switching to Linux, but it still doesn't seem ready for casual users. Currently I'm experimenting with Fedora 44 KDE on a second SSD, which I understand to be one of the most popular and best supported distros, and yet it's constantly giving me troubles with basic tasks.

  1. The Nvidia driver situation is a nightmare. I had RPKfusion installed and working, and have only performed the automatic updates through Discover, and they've rendered the OS useless. The latest has given me a mostly black screen with a tiled/striped Fedora logo and I can't even reach the login screen.
  2. Wake from sleep is completely broken. My computer fans will spin up but it's permanently a black screen and I don't even get BIOS splash screen. This seems to be a widespread issue based on me trying to troubleshoot.

So my question - is the constant breaking and troubleshooting just the norm with any Linux distro? Are there any distros that *actually* "just work"? I want to game, browse, and do basic work tasks like open PDFs/use LibreOffice.

Why is my Fedora Booting Crazy Slow?

Hello - I'm trying out Fedora 44 KDE for the first time and it takes about 1 min 45 sec to boot to the login screen from Grub. It takes about the same length of time to wake from sleep. Is this normal?

The systemd-analyze cmd gives me about 40s firmware, 13s loader, 2s kernel, 70s initrd, 11s userspace. I have relatively high end hardware, 7800x3d with RTX 5080.

Steam takes approx 40s to display the splash screen and then its about 5s after that before I can interact with it. Maybe there is a general responsiveness issue somewhere in Fedora?

I am booting from an external SSD (old Samsung 850 EVO) connected to my PC via USB-C. Is that maybe the cause and if so, is there any way to improve it? Even so...what is going on with steam?

For comparison, closing steam and then reopening it only takes about 5sec to open.

Steam Game Scaling

I've just installed Fedora KDE hoping to experiment with it as a casual daily driver. I leave cookie clicker on my second screen most of the time. My first monitor is 4k and my second monitor is 1440p.

Cookie clicker seems to render at "4k scale" on my primary monitor, then when I drag it over to the second monitor, everything becomes small and hard to read.

I tried messing with the system monitor scaling settings, but I couldnt get that to really help. Do I have to use the Gamescope thing or how can I fix this? Even on my 4k monitor everything is smaller than I'm used to

New User Stuck on Nvidia Drivers

OK I just installed Fedora 44 for the first time and I'm stumped by Nvidia. FYI I have an RTX 5080.

First I ran the 3 commands on the RPMFusion page and they all installed correctly, but I think I rebooted too quickly. That got me multiple monitor detection at login but just a black screen after login. All the commands finished and it showed me the driver version so I thought I was good. I was eventually able to use chatgpt to nuke the drivers and boot back to desktop.

Then I ran through the RPM instructions again but walked away for 5 minutes after the third step to ensure it would compile. I rebooted and it basically did nothing - still single monitor with the wrong resolution and refresh rate.

Then I found this guide thru this subreddit, which includes additional steps for addressing secureboot https://github.com/devangshekhawat/Fedora-44-Post-Install-Guide

I followed all of these steps and then the last few steps are the exact same as RPM Fusion but these are of course already installed. I don't know if i need to nuke them again? All the nvidia packages say they are already installed and there is nothing to do. If I run the modinfo cmd, it successfully returns 595.71.05 as driver version. If i try "nvidia-smi" it says it failed because it couldnt communicate with the driver and to make sure the latest one is installed, which 595.71.05 seems to be in place, so I am not sure what to do??

I also tried running the uninstall cmd on RPMs page to start over again but it just says "no packages to remove" so thats even more confusing...

Backrest, Help with Copy Command and Sequential Backups

Using Backrest and trying to work my way through the Restic docs. Hoping for some assistance getting everything set up nicely as I have basically hacked it together at this point and trying to get my understanding to the next level! I am running in docker on Unraid.

Let's say I want to create backups for Immich and Paperless and I also want a cloud copy on Backblaze B2. I have the following Repos:

  1. immich_local
  2. immich_b2
  3. paperless_local
  4. paperless_b2

I believe the best way to do this is to set up a plan with the repo being "immich_local", but I would set up a Command hook at "CONDITION_SNAPSHOT_END" that implements the copy function.

This is the template language in the docs:

restic -r /srv/restic-repo-copy copy --from-repo /srv/restic-repo --verbose

Would mine need to be like this? There is some business about chunking in the docs that I do not understand.

>restic -r /srv/immich_b2-copy copy --from-repo /srv/immich_local --verbose

My followup questions regarding the copy function are:

  1. The docs mention chunking parameters need to be copied to ensure de-dupe works. This seems to occur when the repo is created for the first time. So would I need to re-create all 4 of my repos if they already exist? And how do I actually accomplish this in Backrest? Is it a "START" command hook?
  2. When you are copying contents from one repo to another, how should I arrange the pruning on the destination repo?

I would also like to better understand scheduling of multiple plans. I currently have my individual plans set to terminate all docker containers aside from backrest, perform the backup, then turn them back on. Is there a way I can turn off dockers, run all my plans, and then turn them back on? I think I might need to do something like the following:

  1. Set immich plan to backup at 1:00am. Use a START cmd hook to stop docker.
  2. Set paperless plan to backup at 1:01am. Use a END cmd hook to start docker.

Would that work? Would setting them both to start at 1:00am simply queue them, if so, how would I ensure that they queue in the correct order?

Thank you!!

Looking for a quick assist on what weeds I have in my yard, and what I can do to kill them!

I can't find anything online that looks like the first one. I think the second one might be mallow? I also have an absolutely ravenous bush-type thing that grows at an insane rate and will not die (last pic).

Also have a big dandelion problem every year.

Appreciate any recommendations!!
