PI know the feel, I have been screwed similarly back in the day by OS X. I was moving college project files to an external drive and apparent for just a split second the USB drive lost connection for a bit, which under normal circumstances wouldn't be that big a deal, but then there's Apple. See, when you are doing a move files option if by any chance the destination becomes unavailable it reverts the move but then also deletes the files in the source, so you're left with nothing. Almost failed my grade, luckily I could hand in the files later.

It's an unusual bug, but it could still happen to you. Here's how to dodge it.
AYeah when copying from drive to drive I usually do a copy and when it succeeds I remove the original
AAlso important to note that Linux uses ram caching for all drives unlike windows
ASo the transfer shows finished before it finishes
AAnd if you don't eject you get data corruption
Tlemme say it like this:
1. Files are on Drive A
2. I copy them to Drive B, now they're on Drives A and B
3. I wipe Drive A completely, it's now empty
4. I check Drive B, turns out the files didn't copy properly and essentially everything is gone aside empty folders

DAnyone run into issues using gamescope where you go to alt tab to a browser and only the virtual desktop for the game is visible
Hhow did you do the copy, also did you actually check if the progress was 100% done before even ejecting drive B (so that the remaining transfered files get flushed to the drive before you remove it if they havent been moved yet)
kde and gnomes file managers do not show progress in a clear way, often hiding it into a small icon either in the file manager or tray.
because linux tends to make the empty folders first, then copy files so it sounds like an incomplete transfer.

Ta notification said the transfer completed successfully
Ethis sucks i dont know why gw2 isnt launching anymore
Hmeans it can still be cached in ram and wont get force flushed before you eject the drive (unmount)
Ei made a support thread
Tno lol, it can't
Tthis happened like yesterday, it's long gone
Him talking when it said it was complete, it could still be in flight in ram because of how the disk caching work in linux
Hit's a quirk with most modern oses, they don't exactly tell you when the transfer is actually complete because of caching
that's why you need to safe eject pen drives
that's why you need to safe eject pen drives
Hthat can happen anywhere from windows to android
Haltho if you did do the whole safe ejection song and dance, then that's really odd
Hexactly
Awindows disables RAM caching but as far as I know its the only os to do so
Afor hotpluggable drives
Hit should but in my experience it's very hit or miss with guessing which drives are actually hotpluggable
Athats also true
Astill is a bad idea to yank drives. But linux is particularly bad in that regard
Atransfers can finish half an hour before they actually do
Hyea
Hi think it's just a good idea in general to never assume those notifications are true
Wspeaking of drivers is there any reason why I cant use my drawing tablet on bazzite lol
Ait should work
WI installed the opentabletdrivers and otd-gui detects my tablet but my mouse doesnt like Move
Aunless the open tablet drivers did not make it to f40
Adid you try krita?
WI'm using rnote which worked on endeavouros
cursor is supposed to move when I use the pen on the tablet but it isnt
cursor is supposed to move when I use the pen on the tablet but it isnt
Wbut yea OTD is detecting it
Arebooting a couple times always helps, cant say much more
Acould also be a flatpak quirk
Asince i assume you installed from the arch repos on endeavouros
OIt seems like my system has a pretty high chance of completely hanging when attempting to load GNOME after logging in , in the asus-nvidia image for Fedora 40
OI had to boot into 39 to even get to the desktop properly
Chow can i bring up the keyboard on the rog ally in bazzite in desktop mode, when in mouse mode (I held down the crate button to activate mouse mode)
AThis a good time to install a new fedora?
OIf there's some kind of "super" button (on the Steam Deck it's the Steam button), press that in combination with X. As long as Steam is running, it should show the same one as on the deck
Coh i needed to press the left most button + x
Cits centered and looks weird, how can i make it be stretched?
OSadly, I'm unaware of how to do that, the keyboard is by-and-large mostly tailored for the Steam Deck's screen
OI'm by no means the final word on this, the devs are pretty active here so maybe one of them can chime in..?
AThe ROG buttons are not holdable
AYou'll have to swap them with start select to do that
Cit works fine in the gamescope ui
Cbut it looks weirdly centered in the desktop mode
