Now your making me feel old... I remember that issue. Also seem to remember it appearing towards the end of KDE3 when they did a QT upgrade I think it was (may have been 4 beta though, I'm old lol)

shows you how long i used linux, since i used kde3 on backtrack (predecessor to kali linux) because the weird ass wifi card i had would work ootb there.

remember MADWIFI!!?
certainly made me mad

SwitchesOP•6/18/24, 6:20 AM

there's a thing I haven't heard in years... and yes I think MADWIFI was well named it infuriated the hell out of me and most of my colleagues/friends at the time

HikariKnight•6/18/24, 6:20 AM

yeah so i just used backtrack because cool wallpaper and holy crap my wifi works!

SwitchesOP•6/18/24, 6:21 AM

lol think I was prob still on Slack or Gentoo back then... how things have changed (for the better in the most part).

HikariKnight•6/18/24, 6:21 AM

i was introduced to debian back in middle school but i didnt switch myself until high school

HikariKnight•6/18/24, 6:22 AM

forgot if it was lenny, sarge or etch, but i remember the "new upcoming" release was supposed to be very big and important

SwitchesOP•6/18/24, 6:22 AM

Hmm was kinda of working by the time the whole "linux" thing came about was a UNIX user at the time though :p

SwitchesOP•6/18/24, 6:24 AM

Oh and started on basically BSD and OS/2 Warp >.> (yes I'm 50 this year lol)

HikariKnight•6/18/24, 6:24 AM

and back when i changed to linux it was ubuntu 8.10 i switched to

SwitchesOP•6/18/24, 6:25 AM

good choice for a beginner tbh, I still think at times it is but with the new "Cloud native" stuff it's becoming harder to recommend it for ease of use imo

matt_schwartz•6/18/24, 6:27 AM

ya’ll knew what Linux was in grade school???

SwitchesOP•6/18/24, 6:27 AM

Think some who were technically minded did (or the average rebel lol)

HikariKnight•6/18/24, 6:27 AM

yes i did

Kasher_CS•6/18/24, 6:39 AM

I first seriously used Linux in early 2016 I think, I installed fedora and installed nvidia drivers from the .run file

Sean (SuperRiderTH)•6/18/24, 6:48 AM

I remember when Steam launched on Linux back in 2013 and I was so excited. Games were barely functional back then, but we were having fun

Kasher_CS•6/18/24, 6:51 AM

I got a Kernel update and was confused why gdm didn't load

Kasher_CS•6/18/24, 6:51 AM

I fixed it tho

I was using Ubuntu on a couple machines for the longest time, the 11-15 releases. I still needed Windows though for quite a few things. I hopped between a few things like Fedora and elementaryOS. Honestly still really like elementary, I really enjoy Pantheon. I was using Antergos for a long while until they stopped existing. Then I moved to Endeavor and Arch for a bit, a bit of openSUSE Tumbleweed, and then to Fedora and Nobara, until 1.0 of Bazzite happened and now I live here.

Bazzite just has pretty much every tweak and change I would personally make to distros, and I don't have to worry about things exploding on a rolling release. I'll take the minor issues and I can test new things because I can easily rollback my system if things are funky.

Me too me too lmao

HikariKnight•6/18/24, 7:01 AM

for me i have been on
debian --> ubuntu 8.10 - 19.10 (yes this was a singular install without reinstalls, just migrations to new disks using

dd

dd

) --> pop os 20.04 --> bazzite

on work systems it has been
debian --> centos --> debian/ubuntu --> centos --> debian/ubuntu --> proxmox with whatever :clueless:

HikariKnight•6/18/24, 7:01 AM

my home folder had crap from gnome2, gnome3 and unity

Sean (SuperRiderTH)•6/18/24, 7:02 AM

I wish canonical kept unity alive, I really liked it. But they have sure made some decisions

Sean (SuperRiderTH)•6/18/24, 7:04 AM

Sure it still is kinda a thing, but it isn't really shipped by a lot of distros

HHikariKnight for me i have been on debian --> ubuntu 8.10 - 19.10 (yes this was a singular in...

Sean (SuperRiderTH)•6/18/24, 7:09 AM

That single install is super impressive lol

matt_schwartz•6/18/24, 7:11 AM

I was too busy playing call of duty on Xbox live for Linux

gt73•6/18/24, 7:18 AM

My controllers on go stopped working on Waydroid. Where do I start debugging this

gt73•6/18/24, 7:20 AM

It’s recognizes it but none of the buttons work

antheas•6/18/24, 7:21 AM

fps mode time

antheas•6/18/24, 7:21 AM

yay

wolfyreload•6/18/24, 7:27 AM

For gaming it was Pop!_OS for almost 2 years >> Nobara >> some crazy distrohopping >> Bazzite.

My work linux journey has been quite short Pop!_OS 22.04 >> Ubuntu 22.04 >> Kubuntu 22.04. I want to go Aurora for work

Looks like there is an Ubuntu Unity community still https://ubuntuunity.org, they do seem to be up to date as they have released 24.04 but the Reddit looks kinda dead so no idea if people are using it or not

Kasher_CS•6/18/24, 7:28 AM

Some kid maintains it, that kid is legendary

@Kyle Gospo Hey, small update on my pro controller problem, I found it's a fedora issue:

https://community.frame.work/t/responded-fedora-39-switch-pro-controller-only-works-on-first-pair/39500/5

Framework Community

[RESPONDED] Fedora 39 - Switch Pro Controller only works on first pair

Got around to troubleshooting this again. So I neglected to mention I was using KDE as my desktop environment, I installed it over the top of the usual Fedora 39 release since the chipset firmware that shipped had a bug that made it impossible to start Wayland in the initial login screen or something. So if I switch to GNOME I can’t get the con...

nap•6/18/24, 8:12 AM

how do I convert my gnome install into a game mode install

nap•6/18/24, 8:12 AM

the kind that boots into game mode first

dreamyuki•6/18/24, 8:19 AM

rebase to deck image with gnome

nap•6/18/24, 8:19 AM

thanks

nap•6/18/24, 9:40 AM

ok I rebased to an image that is supposed to start in gaming mode, but it doesn't boot into gaming mode. "return to gaming mode" also just goes back into desktop mode
