I have a first gen Define XL that’s probably closing in on 15 years old. Still going strong as my primary desktop case. The only problem I’ve had is little cheap plastic connectors to attach the feet to the case broke. I know they’ve fixed the design for recent versions but I can’t justify the cost when the rest still works fine.
Bitwarden includes a username generator with a few different options for types.
Yes. The current count is 610.
Plasma’s not that old, it just came out a few years ago…
2008?
I should probably clarify that I think my wife did something wrong and not Pop. I ran it smoothly for months before moving to Bazzite on my item machine. She knows enough to be dangerous and may have changed something without knowing what it did.
An atomic system would be more SO proof for me.
I’ve had my wife on Pop for 3-4 months now but she performed some update in the Pop Shop this week that totally borked the bootloader. I was not able to repair or even get it to see her hard drive.
I was able to mount the drive using the Pop live USB and backup her data. I moved her over to Bazzite, which is what I use.
Bosses when the IT dept is furiously responding to an outage: What do we pay you for?

It just works for me. I tried it about a year ago when I still had an Nvidia card and Wayland wasn’t playing nice. I’ve since upgraded to an AMD and most things just work out of the box.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle gave me some trouble, but that’s just typical for MachineGames’s engine on Linux.
The most difficult thing about Bazzite is figuring out rpm-ostree and package layering. Luckily there isn’t much I need that’s not in the package library.
Everyone else seems to have addressed the cloud part, which I was a little skeptical about too. I understood it is a development aspect, not an end user aspect, so I decided to use it. I’ve been using it as my daily driver for about 6 months and have had no problems.
The atomic part was the biggest hurdle for me, since I wasn’t familiar with rpm-ostree, but I’m getting the hang of it. It’s had the added benefit of keeping me from breaking things through stupid mistakes since I can just roll back my changes.
This is what I do for Bazzite and Mullvad.
I can’t get it to update through the repo while layered, so I’ve had to uninstall and reinstall using the new rpm each time. I keep saying I’m going to get around to troubleshooting it and then forget about it until the next update.
I think the story was that he had disappeared from friends and family for a few months prior.
Bluefin/Bazzite/Aurora are immutable, atomic versions of Fedora. I’ll probably explain it wrong but they’re more secured than normal Linux flavors and you get several copies of your core system files, so when you inevitably fuck something up, you roll back to the previous version and undo your mistake.
I’ve only just moved over to Bazzite in the last 6 months or so, so I’m no expert, but it’s been a cinch to get most games running.
You’re one of today’s lucky 10,000.
Bluez seems to be the culprit. My wife’s computer runs Pop, has ver 5.64 and will pair just fine with my USB Bluetooth adapter and controller. Bazzite has ver 5.77.
The bluetoothctl scan on allowed me to pair the device, but it never shows up in Steam or other programs and will disconnect after a minute or so. According to this It may be an issue with the current bluez stack, so I’ll keep tinkering. It doesn’t help that “switch” “pro” and “controller” are all independently vague search terms and search engines are getting worse and worse at returning useful information.
It did work before on Pop, and I should have been clearer. When I put the Switch Pro Controller into pair mode and use the KDE Bluetooth module to connect a new Bluetooth device, it doesn’t even see the device. I am able to see and pair other Bluetooth devices without trouble.
I was going to familiarize myself with some terminal Bluetooth commands tomorrow and maybe dig up an old Bluetooth controller to see if it’s specific to controllers.
I have an 8bitdo controller attached and working fine, but it’s got a wired base station that uses 2.4ghz to communicate with. I’d just use the 8bitdo controller, but it doesn’t have a gyro that I need for certain games.
Edit I was able to solve this by using ‘bluetoothctl scan on’. It made the device appear in the KDE Bluetooth settings panel and it paired like normal.
I recently switched to Bazzite from Pop! and cannot get my Bluetooth to see my Switch Pro controller. It works fine wired, I can connect other devices via Bluetooth, the controller will connect other computers fine.
I’ve tried two different USB Bluetooth adapters on USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports on the front, back and on the extra USB port on my keyboard. I’ve rebooted, restarted the Bluetooth service, and googled the hell out of it, but most problems I’ve seen are from years ago before Linux officially included the Pro controller driver in the kernel.
We have a wireless Brother laser MFP from 2-3 years ago that just works. I needed to scan something for the first time a few weeks ago and started to go down to rabbit hole of the official driver package but then I decided to give “scanimage” a try and it just found the scanner.
