Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!


    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    If you really want to run Linux : Distro hop

    If you are not happy, then try a few more distros.

    Yeah, that's what I i did, first tried Nobara, I liked it but encountered some issues, tried to fix them but I realized I spent too much time and there's no clear fix, so I hoped on Fedora and everything works nicely, exept for the Multimedia drivers which I'm still trying to fix...

    This is what seems to have helped for me on Fedora:

    1. Install free and non-free RPM Fusion repositories: https://rpmfusion.org/Configuration

    2. Then run the following:

      sudo dnf groupupdate multimedia --setop="install_weak_deps=False" --exclude=PackageKit-gstreamer-plugin
      sudo dnf groupupdate sound-and-video
      sudo dnf install mozilla-openh264
      rm ~/.cache/gstreamer-1.0/registry.x86_64.bin
      
      

    I was having trouble with many h265 videos until I cleared my gstreamer cache (I only needed to clear the 64-bit cache, this thread suggests clearing both 32 and 64-bit):

    Oh, Thank you very much multimedia playback behaves weirdly on my machine, I'll try these fixes and let you know
