Like 150 micrograms lol

Edit: When you say you did it manually, what do you mean exactly?

Check dmesg output when after the wifi drops and see what the kernel is doing. That could inform your decision. I have an old asus that started having a bunch of wifi bugs too, and I’m pretty sure they made some updates to iwlwifi. No solution though, I dont really care because that machine barely gets any use. Wifi always works perfect if I stay on a tty and don’t enter a graphical session.

That being said I wouldn’t choose fedora for an older relative unless they were really into computers. While it has become more stable in recent years, they do break things from time to time.

If you do decide to keep them on fedora, maybe try an atomic version. That way when things break you can just roll back with no issues and pin the working deployment. Chances are they just want a web browser and libreoffice so the learning curve wouldn’t really matter to them.

You may have an uphill battle here. What DE are you using?

Idk that much about bazzite, but I’ve been running silverblue/kinote for awhile. /home shouldn’t be read only. Same for /etc and /var. Can you create any files in $HOME OR $HOME/.config/ ?

i3 is configured to use the program dmenu by default. A common replacement for that is rofi. I use wofi on sway. Rofi has more features, wofi is pretty simple but you can customize with css.

Sway will read the i3 config you already have if you put it in the sway config folder. Then just download dmenu if you want that same behavior. Some things like mod+enter is binded to i3-sensible-terminal, so if you don’t have i3 installed on the box it won’t find a terminal to open. The fix is to change the binding to your preferred terminal emulator.

All in all the transition is pretty painless.

A lot of times you will see the format string for the fedora version in the .repo file. This means its probably looking for f41. Since fedora updates fast, third party repos are usually slow to move to the next version and this repo probably doesnt exist causing dnf to fail. You can try and change the format string to the last available version. It usually works without issue, and updates aren’t disabled as long as the vendor updates that version

So this isn’t really an answer on how to migrate but this solution has worked well for me.

I define the toolboxes config with it, and if it gets destroyed, recreating it is as simple as creating a new one with the same name. You could upgrade or downgrade by just creating a new toolbox with the version you want.

I would have whipped the Scopuli.

For me, setting up colored man pages is essential. I was hoping to see that in this article, because my methods aren’t ideal.

I’m either holding most back a couple versions, using a personal version of gentoos man pager that relies on texinfo and breaks on fedora, or using vim which is not my favorite.

I found this. I didn’t look at the code at all but the Readme mentions another project that might help.

You didn’t like flying through 150 rings?

it still mounts and at first glance seems to be working

What makes you say that?

Show us the output of things like lsblk, mount and cat /etc/fstab to give us a fuller picture

I like to put mine in /var/local/movies etc. to keep the root standard and uncluttered.

Of course it’s just personal preference

Where’s the source code? Seriously, the only thing I can find for drive & calander are repos that were archived in 2021

I think that it’s definitely a good case for overlaying with install. They say to use it sparingly because it increases the chances of something breaking, but that doesn’t mean it will. Something like a VPN usually needs liw level access that container isolation makes difficult.

I’ve only had 1 issue on silverblue years ago where I couldn’t update because I had vim overlayed and they fixed it within a day or two.

Bash is my login shell, but I have fish set as the default shell for alacritty

If you’re making backups of things you care about and not running sudo rm -rf the command isn’t really dangerous.

But +1 for having it in /tmp I have a bash function I call tempd that is basically cd $(mktemp -d) I use it so much for stuff I dont really care to keep.

Tailscale keeps the private keys locally, . It just facillitates setting up wireguard. They could steal your private keys, as could any program you install with root access. But it would comepletely destroy their business, and it’s open source. I really dont think they have anything to gain by tricking everyone

That’s really weird. I set up a test system and I couldnt reproduce. The only thing I noticed errors flooding dmesg about elogind already running when I enabled it following the docs. I guess sddm is already starting it?

I dont see how that would cause your issue though. I would probably just reinstall lol
