sudo dnf install akmod-nvidia
Seriously though, this is still the same problem on windows. If you switch from AMD to Nvidia, it’ll load a generic display driver until you install the Nvidia one either through windows updates (heavily outdated) or GeForce Now (heavy bloat).
At least Linux gives you Nouveau instead of throwing you into a 480p fallback output.
I really don’t want Apple to enter this market because then all the current OEMs will just be even more incentivized not to make generational advancements, and to just copy Apple’s Chinese grade quality to sell more slop because idiots will buy.
Google already threw a grenade with their subpar pixel fold and then Samsung magically swapped off snapdragon for their zflip. If Apple joins, next they’ll start using plastic for the shell and still charge $999.
People who think this won’t be a competitive product can just look to the past 20 years of Apple successfully selling stupid shit for exorbitant prices. I would even bet money it comes with an even deeper crease than current gen foldables against the “new hinge tech” hype this guy is claiming.
You were filthy rich if you had such a massive CRT in 1984
Okay so step one is to take GNOME and throw it into the trash where it belongs, and replace it with KDE which is a complete DE and not a bunch of plugins disguised in a trench coat of bash scripts.
Step two is to recommend a distro that targets both user quality and latest stable kernel releases for the most updated modules (Like Fedora or OpenSUSE)
Linux needs to adopt executable installers for software packages that can be downloaded on the web
Is the wrong problem because that’s what Flatpak accomplishes without creating distro dependency hell. Regressing to .run and .appimage files for everything is why windows updates suck total ass, and it would nuke one of Linux’s most killer features.
Users are already used to an appstore on mobile, I can personally guarantee you that they have no trouble getting accustomed to a desktop app installer, especially since they find it so much easier to search and click install without opening a bunch of websites. Since it shows both package manager and flatpak apps, they don’t even have to be aware of the backend system.

The only thing holding back linux at this current point in time is honestly just vendors using it standard in consumer hardware. The dependency hell issue was resolved years ago by both huge improvements in package repos and the widespread support of Flatpak. The leftover baggage from X11 has been replaced by Wayland, which finally became viable around end of 2023. Even stuff like pulseaudio has been replaced by pipewire to handle every edge cases scenario.
I would not have said the same thing 2 years ago. The evidence is that the linux desktop user base is growing at an increasing rate. All they need is to hit a critical share (6-7%) for bigger vendors and OEMs to follow.
The good news is, as mentioned, there are a lot of vendors that are starting to do this. Valve’s steam machine by itself could be enough to add another 10 million users if they play their cards right.
My other anecdotal evidence is that I successfully changed several of my friends and family members over to Fedora just last year because I finally found it viable to throw at any former Windows user.
The only dissatisfaction I caused was one “dependent” person who couldn’t play Fortnite (the only game in their library that didn’t work), which I audaciously told it would be possible in 2026 via waydroid/lepton (valve plz dont fail me lol).
This is even funnier considering the fiber element in toslink is actually plastic which was chosen to make it really cheap since the distance was not of concern like a proper multimode fiber cable made with glass.
I actually have a really annoying problem in that I cannot find any universal adapter that has a real ground pin.
All of them only have prongs for the hot and neutral wires, and sometimes a dummy plastic ground to grip the socket better.
I understand that 99% of the time, modern electronics don’t need a ground cable and its only there for safety, but it would still be a lot more comforting knowing the ground is actually connected.
I even considered modifying an adapter with a ground cable I can manually insert into the socket.
Knowing full well this would be coming from a FAANG company, a funnier answer would be to replace the switch with the equivalent smarthome switch, and then spend the next 20 minutes explaining their uttery stupid network pathway from your phone, through the cloud, back to your device to turn on a lightbulb.

Stack Overflow was the antithesis of “Just say something wrong on the internet so that someone will correct you with the real answer” because none of the negative threads actually answered the question lol.
iirc they weren’t even the first ones to discover this because there was already someone on the blackmarket selling data collected from exposed cameras and endpoints which included PII of entire police departments.

Right?
I can understand the first sequel hype, but it was kinda lame and I just dont see how people are bothering to see the next.
After the first dune, the sequel premier in my town had a whopping total of 13 people show up to watch.
I feel like Avengers normalized multi film continiuity, and people only feel compelled to show up like brand loyalty to a story/franchise.
Which is dumb because most if not all of these franchise films usually have no significant input from the original talent. James Cameron literally showed up to collect a pay check and go home.
I mean then again, people pay for FIFA and NBA2K every year so its not like it’s far fetched. But cmon, this is why these media products dont get as heavily criticized compared to genuinely superior alternatives.
