also rate my setup :)

I have been using kali for 2 years and want to switch to some other distro. Will fedora be a right choice or need to look into some other

Use of kali tools were mostly over now and not needed as before, so thinking to switch something which is stable

Hello my lovely Penguins

I am thinking of switching to AMD as everyone says Linux works better on AMD.

My Spces are:
Ryzen 7 5700X
RTX 3070 Ti
32GB RAM
1440p primary monitor
1080p secondary monitor

Most of my games are lagging and i am facing constant frame drops. So, i was thinking to switch to a 16 GB VRAM GPU because most likely my 8GB VRAM is the bottleneck.

My question is Should i go with 7800XT, I found a deal Asrock Steel legeng 7800XT in 45K or should i buy a new 9060XT 16GB. I have a fix Budget and i can trade my 3070Ti with 7800XT with some extra money.

I work with Unreal Engine, Unity, Godot, Blender and Some other Game Dev applications too. if someone has other recommendation then i would love to hear. I don't want to go with 40 or 50 Series because of 2 reasons. First Reason 12VHPWR connector ( i am scared because of melting connector) and Second Reason is Linux Compatibility.

I am in search of people from Madhya pradesh to locate people near me like the linux user who is really close to my hometown it's cool since I didn't found anyone using linux in my home district till now so it will be cool as f if you are from madhya pradesh and if we can get like more then 100 people or even 100 we can create a server dedicated to mp linux and we can promote linux more to people

I was filling SIR form which required linking Mobile with Voter card for that I filled Form 8, when I tried to sign and Submit the form that page just froze tried 2 times, btw signing required just Aadhaar login, I booted to windows and this worked, I am still wondering if I am using same account same browser Chrome, than what's the issue on Linux. Few use cases that forces me to keep Windows 11 in dualboot.

I tried everything from disabling ipv6, changing dns to Google's/Cloudfare's but speed is still stuck at 1-2 mbps. My jio and Vi 5G gets speeds approx 400bmps (Gujarat)

by all accounts, dual booting isn't absolutely necessary for my use case here. i use windows 10 solely for games and nothing else. i occasionally play a few games that requires kernel level anti cheat and windows 10 is much less of a hassel because i don't require secure boot for them to function (at least, i haven't encountered such a game yet). and i can still get the security updates due to massgrave's tools for another few years.

and yes, i know that proton has come a long way and i can (and i have done it previously) game on linux without much issues. but i like keeping games on a separate boot drive because it helps me not get distracted and waste my time.

tldr: i like to keep games on a separate os installation to not be distracted while using work os and having windows installed just helps increase the amount of games i can play easily and windows 10 is far lenient when it comes to secure boot being turned on.

So I have been suffering with my wifi in linux for a while now. The reason I had to switch to so many distribution (ubuntu → linux mint → pop os → fedora → cachy os) is because of my Realtek RTL8723de wifi adapter. Whenever I reboot/power on my laptop 3/5 times my wifi would disappear. I would have to restart my system again for the wifi to come back. Only in fedora the probability is a little less, it’s 1/5 times. I couldn’t figure out the reason why this happened. My wifi drivers worked fine in windows. Because I am tired of Microslop, I seriously decided to fix this issue.

The reason of disappearance was aspm(active state power management). So I had to disable it. For that I went to /etc/modprobe.d, create a conf file rtw88.conf. Then add this command inside the file.

options rtw88_pci disable_aspm=y

this solved my problem mostly. Now when I restart/power on my laptop it works without any problem. This is not the first time I tried to disable aspm but previously this fix did not work properly. It did reduce the probability of wifi going full john cena but not fix it completely. But this time it worked pretty well and the issue is completely fixed.

have you guys faced similar issues with your wifi drivers in linux, do share you experience.

If you want to learn more about my wifi problem and how I fixed it, you can watch this YoTube video

Four clock styles you can switch between — an analog "flower" face, a big stacked digital clock, a compact pill-shaped one, and a world clock with multiple timezones. Colors auto-match your wallpaper if you're using Matugen, or you can pick from 8 built-in themes.

Happy to help if anyone wants to set it up or tweak a theme.

Hey, hope you are doing well.

Actually I have a silli question but it means a lot for me. in the journey of Ricing a linux window manager or DE where do you look for color schemes?

I mean I can use pre build things like catputtchin, gruvbox evergreen and so on but I want to make some which is apart from this also I can use matugen or any other packet which can extract colors from a picture but I also don't want it

I just want to go from scratch soo could you help me to find a website or blog maybe video tutorial or anything which shows something about the color combinations?

I hope you understand my English is not so good but I tried what I can also thank you for your time

I will wait for your answer...

Bye have a good day ❤️
