Screen goes black periodically when playing video games

Hi all, Not sure if this is a distro specific, DE specific, a monitor brand specific or just linux/AMD in general. So, I have an RX580 GPU. It is an older one, but does just for what I do on my PC (emulation). Everything works fine until I start one of the emulators and play a game. I have two 27" 4k monitors, a dell and a...

Qestions about eSATA vs USB3.0 for a drive enclosure connected to Proxmox

I am trying to figure out the optimal way to connect an 8 bay drive enclosure to a Dell Optiplex 7040 Micro. The end goal is to have the drives made available to a Proxmox cluster and kubernetes cluster. This is all for learning experience as well as to run services for personal use....

Is there a way to get LineageOS's Trebuchet launcher on other ROMs?

Gaming on Fedora Silverblue

I am freaking out on how well distrobox is working for me. I buy a lot of games on itch.io and GOG, and neither have a flatpak. However, installing an Ubuntu container (max compatibility) and launching games from there just works. Okay, I have yet to install a GOG game, but it the Itch client works then what won’t?...

loads of uninstallable dependencies on debian

I installed Debain 12 about a month ago, and kept having difficulties with the package manager. It seems to lack any sort of sources in its default configuration, so that I had to manually add some which I saw online to the sources file. By default, the sources file only refered to some cd-rom thing, even though I installed the...
