I’m sorry, I should have been clearer. Yes, I meant for streaming. I also have all my favorite music downloaded and play them locally (sort of, self-hosted from my home server). But way back when I was part of the Spotify crowd I came across great songs I didn’t know about, so streaming is a great way to find those hidden jewels. I just don’t want to have any of those apps trying to mine a boatload of data constantly from my devices.

Is there anything like this for Android that you’re aware of? That would be awesome.

Then you must not be very bright. All my Logitech and Razer hardware just works on every Linux distro I jump on while distro hopping.

I suggest you flash via etcher and try again. That’s usually either a bad flash or secure boot making your life miserable.

He’s the guy you hear vexing rust in the video posted. While both languages have their pros and cons, he chooses to just blast this other guy by repeating the same crap over and over without letting him reply. Basically the kind of person with a “I win because I’m louder” demeanor.

I’m sorry you’re going through that bud. I’m flat out of tricks.

Can you try Boot mode on anything other than “quick”, and then F12 during boot see if that works?

That is the most sensible look into this so far.

Ted Ts’o is a prick with a god complex. I understand his experience is hard to match, we all have something in our lives we’re that good at, but that does not need to lead to acting like a fucking religious fanatic.

They have tried everything. They do get an A for effort though.

Yeah, I get the philosophy behind their actions and intent. They can audit that cloud PC all they want. In my computer, I’m lord, god and king, nobody gets to see what happens there but me and those I want to.

Where I work,~2,000 employees and contractors, I’m almost certain I’m the one person using Linux (Fedora) and refusing to use Windows (so they deployed a cloud Windows 365 instance for me to have access to the in-house platform).

I’m blessed to hold a position for which the company would have a really hard time replacing me, I think that’s why they haven’t booted me (chances are they will at some point, but I don’t care anymore).

It still blows my mind how the IT team tries to justify being locked into Microsoft, and then telling me I could potentially become a point of vulnerability, when my system is easily the most secure in the whole company and my habits make for little to no possibility of ever exposing anything outside of the company.

That’s what I did on my wife’s pc, and she’s had no issues with the dual boot BS Windows has created.

All they managed was to make the forks multiply 🤣🤣

This was not wise. Green bubbles usually mean “now they know”.

New toy. Nice.

I’ve been playing with Linux distros for over 25 years now. I can’t recall what made me go exclusively to Linux,but it had to do with me wanting more control over my devices. I remember that I ended up killing Windows entirely after dual booting 7 (I did not want to move to Windows 10 and EOL for 7 was rapidly approaching) with Linux Mint in 2019 on an Alienware laptop. I started running as much software as I could on Mint, getting to learn LibreOffice pretty well, but I still had to keep a VM for work, as the in-house platform was Windows only.

About 3 years ago my company accepted to provide me with a Windows 365 cloud computer, and I’ve been solidly using Linux exclusively since then (except for work, but that’s going away too as the new platform is fully Web based).

Truth is that I never liked Windows because it’s and incredibly intrusive OS, so I have not missed it one bit.

Good stuff. My wife’s is on HDMI, no dedicated GPU, and it’s been flawless for about 2 months now.

Almost 6 years using Linux exclusively, and I had no idea this existed. You just messed me up bad. I’m going to have so much fun with this.

Thank you so much.

For issue number 1, actually, my wife had the same issue on Fedora Workstation 40 when I first moved her from Windows (I never had that issue probably because I just have 1 ultra wide monitor), the second monitor would not recognize the input and needed to be unplugged from HDMI and plugged back in. After a few updates it hasn’t happened anymore. Another annoyance that has also been fixed (almost positive it was the same bug) was that sometimes the monitors would be flipped where the second monitor would be number 1 on boot, super weird, but that issue is gone too.
