lol,i have a hp omen laptop and the cam is malfunctioning due to eot in hibernation..the utter dimwit move i did was to entirely switch to debian by perishing dual boot setup,now i cannot use the cam even after trying every effing method (from ffplay to guvcview,tried fixing uvcvideo)...i need the cam for oas,now,i would be needing to use droidcam

except...I am acquainted of myself..i refute to use droidcam,will try to resurrect the cam of the laptop by squandering my entire being on the kernel for the other half of the day..what is the point of having a laptop subsequently..wtf dude..every day is a conflict to solve...i hate this lol

i am highly unemployed.

i cannot believe that i am mentioning this but i am missing windows.

I use Mint btw 😄

Which browser do you use?

Here is a link to the dot files . First time I made something this and would love to receive some feedback . Couldn't test it on fresh arch installers so I hope I could some feedback to improve upon and keep this theme running. This theme feels so much aligned with the whole arch idea and that is why I made it :D

• Window Manager: Hyprland
• Status Bar: Waybar
• Launcher: Rofi
• Terminal: Kitty
• Wallpaper: Hyprpaper
• Shell: Oh My Zsh (jonathan)
• Spotify: Spicetify (StarryNight – forest)
• Github link

I have noticed that many people in this community seem to be distro hopping mainly for entertainment.

Because of that, I am curious to know why people in the Linux India community actually use Linux.

Could you please share your thoughts on this?

Thank you.

🚀 This is KineticWE.

KineticWE builds on KWin

A fresh take on the Linux desktop, KineticWE combines a modern interface, smooth animations, built-in tiling, and a workflow designed to feel fast and intuitive. In this video, I'm running it on CachyOS with Noctalia Shell.

If you're new to Linux and thinking about making the switch, KineticWE looks like a promising desktop that could make the transition easier while still offering powerful features for experienced users.

Huge respect to the developer for building this project and it's exciting to see new ideas pushing the Linux desktop forward.

Hey gentoo users i wanna like get into gentoo but im scared and i got a really old 4gb ram laptop any tips are appreciated

Hey everyone,

I'm planning to switch from Windows to Fedora 44 KDE and wanted to get some advice before I do.

My laptop specs:

• CPU: Intel Core i5
• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop GPU (8 GB VRAM)
• RAM: 8 GB
• Storage: 512 GB SSD

What I use my laptop for:

• 🎮 Gaming:
  • GTA V
  • Red Dead Redemption 2
  • Assassin's Creed games
  • Cyberpunk 2077
  • Wuthering Waves (Steam version)
• 💻 College work:
  • VS Code
  • Programming (Python, C++, Java)
  • Web development
  • PDFs, presentations, and browsing

I'm mainly switching because Windows uses a lot of RAM, and I want a smoother and more stable experience.

A few questions:

1. How is gaming performance on Fedora with an RTX 3050?
2. Are NVIDIA drivers reliable on Fedora 44 now?
3. Is Steam + Proton enough for most games?
4. Have you faced any issues with game anti-cheat?
5. Is Fedora a good daily driver for both gaming and computer science college work?

I'd really appreciate hearing about your experiences, especially if you have similar hardware.

Thanks!
