Have you tried Fedora recently or are you stuck in its early Wayland days?

As far as I know Vivaldi is quite prepared to get things working as much as possible with Manifest V3 and putting a lot of work in their own adblocker as well because of it.

There is a version of UBlock Origin that works with V3 but it is limited compared to normal one, will see how it goes but for now I think they can delay with the V3 update for some time.

I personally don’t have a use for a mail client so majority of this update is useless to me but there are few interesting features I may get used to especially on my laptop.

I couldn’t care less about memory usage on my desktop with 64GB RAM but on my laptop that’s a different story. The Break Mode sounds also stupid at first but I may actually have use for it, will try and see.

Is there a way for KDE connect to connect PC with phone if phone is on WiFi and PC on LAN going trough different router in the same network?

Haven’t had any issues since I’ve installed it… Yet.

I did try and I like it a lot but I don’t want to daily drive testing build.

Wasn’t aware of the flatpack script, will check it out, thx!

Yeah, I’m aware it has different packages but I need to familiarise myself with docker first either way. Eventually I plan to switch both systems to PopOS Cosmic DE 24.04 once it fully releases so for now I’m spending most time just tinkering and trying to get more familiar with Linux. Pretty much all SW I use runs on it anyways too. Right now I want to get DavinciResolve up and running with my GPU.

If it breaks, it breaks… But I’ll give it a try on my laptop with PopOS

Thanks, I’ll look more into it once I get more time but from a glance this seems a bit too convoluted for my needs.

Does docker require virtualisation to be enabled?

It could but no

Why? Also I didn’t know about any docker container and never seen any mention of it when looking up solutions.

I just got it to work, I’ll update the original post with solution.

edit:

now I need to figure out if I can this up and running https://github.com/vosen/ZLUDA as it seems quite a bit interesting for both of our use cases though I’m fine with ROCm for the meantime, got 3x faster render speed vs just using my CPU

I’m quite certain it’s supposed to be working with 6000 series and up… I’ve even seen people run it on 5000 series RDNA cards in Blender like 1.5y ago on Fedora 37.

Officially, Blender 3.2 works with RDNA2 and RDNA(1) graphics cards on Linux with HIP. I was able to test all of my available Radeon RX 6000 (RDNA2) graphics cards with Blender 3.2, yeah! But with all my RDNA1 tested graphics cards they all yielded Blender 3.2 having a segmentation fault.

I’d argue the “selling” point of Pop!_OS are their non-vanilla GNOME features.

I agree with you but I feel like you’re completely missing the point I’m trying to make because this has nothing to do with what I’m saying. I’m talking from the perspective of someone who goes to try Linux and then runs into obscure issue and judges his experience based on that. It has nothing to do with how development works, bug reporting and making matters better. It’s just pure experience of what the OP encountered. From that point of view the things you are saying are irrelevant to the normal user. And my examples of Fedora or KDE Plasma were not meant to say it’s the same thing as what Pop!_OS is doing rather than drive the point that from someone else’s perspective who goes to try Linux and runs into obscure issues they may not even know how to find a solution to, it’s irrelevant what the devs do, how old is the distco, etc… They got the newest version available on the website and installed it expecting it to work with maybe some minor flaws and tinkering needed. The only thing that matters is that it’s not working as expected and the user is left clueless and frustrated when something completely breaks.

Plenty of new people who get lured into trying Linux don’t even know what to look for to make the right decision so they often go in blind and then get shunned by Linux “experts” because they “didn’t make research” regardless of which distro they went with because there will always be those who will say they picked the wrong one.

I just got home. You’re right that it’s using NTP. I went into BIOS and checked system time and it was 1h behind so I corrected it. timedatectl shows that system clock sync is OFF so I used hwclock --systohc command to sync with system clock and will see if that causes any issues. If it wont work then I’ll try to just stick with your way of doing it. But thanks for letting me know about the hwclock command.

I get what you’re saying but I don’t agree that it matters. PopOS is quite popular and recommended distro and it’s fair to critique it if you run into issues. For average user it does not matter that they are working on Cosmic and that they are not updating the current version much if at all. They picked it because it’s popular or was recommended.

If someone will have bad bug fiesta experience on KDE Plasma 6 it’s easy to shrug it away as “it’s new, they still need to iron out issues” the same way as “that’s 2y old, what did you expect?”.
