This article is far too hypey. One dude has started this initiative and needs people to work on his concept to get it off the ground. I’m not opposed to a red-hat free immutable system, but this one is so far from maturity this article is selling a first drawing like an almost finished product. Remind me in two years how this went.
My advice is: make your data eternal, not your distro. Your kde config and customization should work across distros (but don’t dualboot with 2 distros messing in the same /home). Don’t know about you, but I like the separated work/play dynamic I have with linux/windows so I’m waiting for bazzite to become dual bootable with linux to be my playstation. If you put your game library on it’s own partition/disk you can mount it from dualboot distros.
Every distribution is always the most stabellest, maintained piece of software on their website but fuckups happen, teams change, users get blamed for exotic circumstances tarnishing their reputation. Have a backup and use whatever feels right currently.
Pop_os is also ubuntu based btw, hate the name but maybe system76 is able to keep you safe from the snappification while you use what you are accustumed to?
Primitive ftpd from fdroid is my go-to “too lazy to configure a cloud thing” solution. It is fast and just works.
Do a pacman -Syyu before you continue.
A locked bootloader is all they need to lock you out for “a uniform experience and support across all devices”. That freedom to install whatever is not a given.
Would you notice if it doesn’t? The screen flickering is obvious, what if your ram and ssd flicker, too? You can tinker with that laptop and try to reduce 3.3 or 5v power rail load with kernel flags, but until someone checks those power rails electrically I wouldn’t trust that laptop to be reliable for anything but a tinkering exercise. We sadly don’t get redundant power IC’s you could switch to, but the failure is common and the involved parts cheap. I wish competent repair shops were more common.
I would conclude from this that your dc-dc converter is out of whack and only works stable enough for a small range of input voltages. This hardware issue might require a hardware fix at a repair shop :/
Make sure you have both your nvidia drivers and vulkan installed. Your errors point to a missing vulkan.
I’m impressed they could get their momentum going for so long, they were able to burn so much money and only now are investors pulling out? That was a serious hype train! Even if it was meant as lobby sponsoring against standard high speed rail, holy cow what a waste!
if your layout is part of the keymaps (/usr/share/kbd/keymaps depending on distro) you can load it with ‘sudo loadkeys -u awesomelayout’ and make it permanent with ‘localectl’ except on debian and heirs. There it would be ‘sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration’
What’s broken for me after using Astarion for assasinations in the same place is the “enemy of justice” condition. They can smell him through every shapeshift, I changed the entire party to gnomes after the deed and still couldn’t walk away from my crimes.
I check for every game if I can get it on gog.com instead before I buy on steam, except if multiplayer would lock me into my gog friendlist. There’s some surprising stuff over there, not only ancient games.
It is normal for a beginner to only have 1 tool in their debugging toolbox 🤷♂️
Git good and solve the problems you create.
True, still difficult to pull off, both spells have vsm components. But obstacles are put there to be overcome, and your plan is as good as any, lets give it a go 😉
Can you concentrate on 2 spells to fly and go invisible?

The relative performance table below the specs can help you. The cheapest you can get right now is a rx 6600 dipping below 200 $/€, but the 6600xt 6650 6700 6700xt are also viable. The 66xx range is enough for 1080p, 1440p begins with the 6700 becausa it has a 10gb vram buffer and wider pci bus.
I tried warlock, gave up twice on level 3, decided to play barbarian instead and banish all wizardry except for the cleric to keep it simple. I’m in act 1 and have no idea how far this will work, but so far I’m having fun and the game offers plenty of options to break its ai. Like my party running around an enemy army stuck in turn based time to set up the perfect ambush.
Do I need to kill Gale to get rid of him once he is in my camp, or can I kick him out? He started getting whiney about his condition and I kept him only because the game insisted he’d be useful.
You’ll have such a bad start choosing Mint when you don’t like Cinnamon, this approach prevents that. They do a lot of things right for beginners/low maintainers but only if you can live with their desktop.
Choose your desktop, that’s the thing you’ll work with the most and could get in your way the most. Any ‘living’ distribution with an installer that fits your needs and delivers your chosen desktop out of the box will do. You’ll learn later if the distribution and community suit you, and if you back up your user directory you can easily migrate distributions without changing the look of your system.
Sounds great! I’ll have a look once the user infrastructure is in place.
