And most other manufacturers too for following the stupid decision to remove the headphone jack.

Wow, what a very detailed response. I’ve only been using Bazzite for about two weeks and still learning about it. Now I have a slightly better understanding of how it all works. 👍
I previously used Nobara but recently switched to Bazzite. I think you can give either of these two a shot. I recall Nobara includes a one button install of nvidia drivers. Not too sure about Bazzite since I have an AMD gpu.
Both these distros are gaming focused. Only difference is Nobara is a traditional distro while Bazzite is atomic desktop based.
Noted. I guess used the wrong definition for Bazzite and that confused me. LOL.
Good to know that /etc is writable. I might have to download it and give it a spin. Thanks for clarifying.
Have not tried immutable distros, but I like the idea that the core OS is read-only to prevent a rookie user from messing things up.
Then again, if the core OS is read-only, is it at all possible to modify some system files like fstab files to auto-load drives?
I am intrigued. Presently using Nobara right now, and I’ve been running into strange issues, like the whole system suddenly becoming unwritable and Firefox crashing out of the blue and needing an entire system reboot.
Was trying to get corectrl configured and I was blindly copying text to paste into config files.
Next thing I know, I can’t get my system to boot up again. 🤣
Time to reinstall. Again. 😅
Trial by combat. May the last OS standing win. :p
Daily drove wayland back in November when I finally built my new desktop and installed Nobara. It’s the default and it juat worked out of the box. Have always been a windows user until now.
Games workost of the time. Good enough for me. Full team Red build inside the case.
I’m a PC 😉
If this post gets 666 upvotes hell will definitely break loose lol
I did not try replicating this behavior with a Windows install on my desktop. I did however perform a fresh install of Fedora 39 and that appeared to have fixed the issue, which is good news.
So I decided to bite the bullet and did a fresh install of Fedora 39 and that appeared to have made the issue go away. In the process of installing updates and configuring it the way I like, the monitor control buttons on both monitors response. So, it seems like the cause of the issue could have been a glitch during an update. Who knows? At least I know that it’s not a hardware issue (cross finders). :)
Drivers for the Tobii eye tracker do not officially exist.
The monitor with this “unresponsive button” issue is the Acer monitor, which is about 2 years old.
Very interesting. The Asus monitor is probably only 2 years old. It does work fine standalone with a spare laptop of mine that is running Windows 10 though.
Looks promising. A piece of software I didn’t know I needed.
Noted. Thanks for your clear response. I’ll just keep it simple have the OS snapshots on the same partition.
Yes, that’s true. Then again, I’m mainly using my PC for gaming and most of what will be in /home will be game installs. I have my photos and music backups in a separate HDD.
I think at the end of the day, what I’m trying to achieve with the btrfs snapshots is to be able to roll back my OS in case a system update goes wrong, or I did something I shouldn’t have. :p
Bazzite has been smooth sailing about 80% of the time for me. The rest of the 20% were due to either plasma or runner crashing, requiring me to perform a hard reset using the power button. And then it magically atarted working again. I’ve also had my home folder become read-only on occasion. Very strange.
