Installing Fedora on an old laptop! ( @reesericci are you proud of me)

Sometimes you got to make do with what you got. My only decent PC died after 7 years today, so until I can afford a new one, this is my new setup (Steam Deck as a desktop). Unfortunately I’ll have to live without a dual monitor setup (unless the deck itself counts but that’s only usable for Spotify & YouTube, not code docs cause the screen is so small) And there’s no head phone jack on the dock I have, so for YouTube videos I’ll be enjoying the crisp Steam Deck speakers. However for Spotify, I connected an old Android phone to my speakers that I can remote control from the desktop app. Ended up installing Fedora Silverblue over Steam OS so I can still develop still (#project-still). So far first day experience, browsing is smooth, Jetbrains IDEs run somewhat smooth, ironically the only thing the desktop Steam Deck sucks for is gaming because it’s only made to handle 720p, not 1080p. Other than that, I can make this work until I can get a new PC. Hoping to go for a framework.

trying to push out the last update of risiOS (38.1), but I'm running into a weird issue with Fedora's python rpms. :tw_thinking_face:

Just pushed what is hopefully the last update to risiOS's welcome screen before we merge with Nobara. All this update added was error handling if apps fail to install (something that was implemented but didn't work due to an upstream bug with VTE terminals). As it work around it now creates files in /temp and if they aren't deleted than it's handled as an error (meaning it didn't get to the part of the script where they should be deleted). It's using the Fedora logo instead of my distro's because I am running it on DistroBox for testing.

I think it's might be time to update my fedora installation on my laptop. Since I'm still in beta build of it.

#w-of-the-day day 101 I'M back on windows, and just so i can install itunes 🙃. This took a while but surprisingly was easy, so far everything is smooth sailing (apart from the audio not working but a windows update solved that), I'll stay on here until fedora 38 hits stable.

Day something in Fedora 38 ( I lost count.) Just me reconfigure my network. And I think it's feels stable than Windows 11 in Canary Build after it green screen at me on my last post.

After 1 day I reinstall and throw my old Windows 11 and Pop! OS away with Fedora 38 (and also with the canary insider version of Windows 11) on my laptop. It works very well with only one that bugs with Firefox that suddenly tab bar and right-click menu freeze but after that. I like how you can change the scroll direction. But I don't use to when it comes to playing Minecraft when I need to scroll to find an item in my Hotbar and it feels weird so I switched it back to the Traditional one. And ignore that Windows 8 Beta "Meme" Wallpaper that I found on Twitter. It's just for the meme.
