  • For what I assume is a security precaution, SysRq is disabled by default in Fedora, and you need to go enable it if you want to be able to recover when shit like this happens - the link shows how, and explains what each letter does.
  • It's honestly hard to say what caused it, but you could check your system logs and see what looks suspicious around the time of the crash. journalctl, dmesg and your steam logs (in ~/.steam/steam/logs usually) could be worth a look, or worth showing someone else at least if you aren't sure whats going on in there.
  • I'd avoid actively trying to cause it, but if it happens again you handled it exactly how I'd try handle it. Having SysRq enabled would let r-e-i-s-u-b handle it more gracefully than a forced shutdown at least!

Regardless of what distro you do end up using, the Arch Wiki is a great bookmark to have. The info is like 90% relevant to Linux in general, and at worst you might need to figure out what a file path or package might have changed to in the likes of Ubuntu or Fedora.

and a Nvidia 2080ti

Do you know which Nvidia driver you're using currently?

There's an established open-source Nouveau driver that Ubuntu & Mint probably defaulted to, a bleeding-edge open-source NVK driver that is still very early in it's development, and a proprietary Nvidia driver that Nobara probably tried, as it's kinda what you'd want for gaming.

The other question would be if you're using Wayland or X11 underneath your desktop environment?

It should be listed in Settings > System > System Details, under the heading "Windowing System" if you're using GNOME.

Wayland has better multi-monitor support than X11, but the proprietary Nvidia driver has a few teething problems with Wayland at the moment - a new 555 beta driver update should be coming this week with proper fixes for the sync/screen-tearing issues people have been experiencing.

I'm roughly 6 episodes into the original Cowboy Bebop, and about halfway though a re-watch of Dragon Ball.

Honestly, I'm enjoying Mastodon more because it hasn't replaced Twitter.

It's not full of spam and arseholes, it's not trying to bruteforce shite takes or adverts into my feed, and I can self-host the whole thing while still interacting with the platform as a whole.

Thanks! I claimed the WRC9 key.

This one is edgy.

Thats great.

I'd still like my Nvidia card to work so I'm happy about this, and when AMD on Linux eventually starts swapping over to explicit sync, I'll be happy for those users then too.

I thought Lawnchair died off a looong time ago, Glad to hear it's still going.

umu (pronounced "oo-moo") is a lot easier to say, at least.

Some year I'll figure out how to use it with Heroic Launcher.

I set up a wiki.js docker container for myself, mainly for keeping track of video game achievement lists in things I'm playing, but I'm probably gonna plop all my docs into it at some stage. It does basically use folder hierarchy, and I have it set to backup to a self-hosted Gitea git repo every 24hrs as well, so I have somewhere to pull all the markdown docs (and their edit history) from if needed, too.
