Id get fresh iso’s. And also try at other speeds. Long ago I can remember… oddities…with slower burns.

Idk. Maybe a bit more detail about the process? Try redownloading the iso’s? What software are you using to burn? Tried any bios changes, like with UEFI, secure boot or csm legacy stuff?

Ya sure the optical drive is still good?

It’s my minimum. It’s usually been fine in the past. I’ve gone from a beta to full release and been fine. But the last few years ya, I try to wait at least a week, up to about a month. I do have other PCs or VMs I’ll test a bit more with before pulling the trigger on my main machine.

Gnome. 47 still, not upgraded to f42 yet.

It’s the only game that does this. Hell even cyberpunk runs flawless. So idk. Do you have any mods installed?

Ive had this issue for a while tbh. Though it usually takes closer to an hour+ to start. I’ve tried just about every graphic option in game. Several variations of proton/protonGE. It seemed like it didn’t start for me until a few months back or so. It was something that just started happened Ng overnight. So ya ya might be right or partially.

My issue is a bit worse, as the entire game goes choppy. Almost feels like a mem leak of some kind but system resources are normal. Sapphire 7800xt fwiw

This is why I try to wait at least a week to for release upgrades.

Ya probably. Toss in flat seal just because.

Opsec is always a balancing act.

At least get clamAV setup. No OS is virus immune. And if wine is installed without proper sandboxing …

I came into this expecting Selinux or firewald to be the issue.

That entire scenario scares me lol

I formated an OS drive by mistake last night, thought it was my flash drive…

Don’t cheap out and use the hand holding script to ez mode the install. At least not the first time. You will learn a few things along the way.

Maybe I’m missing a setting, but I can’t get this to scale with my vertical monitor. Rearranging the layout would be cool too.

Otherwise ya this looks and works well.

My work laptop is windows sadly. It has to run a bunch of endpoint sec stuff. I get it, but still sucks. On occasion I do dual boot (separate drive) when some update breaks something and I have to have a PC to fix something asap.

You joke but it would be an awesome project. Maybe replace the screen with a real LCD, shove an rpi inside etc.

Won’t make much of a difference usually. Worst that may come up is having to import the key from the distro during boot of your flashdrive. Otherwise go through the installer, delete windows or tell installer to wipe the disk and install over windows.

Hard to say. But it’s something to consider. Lots of other worthwhile suggestions I see too. Hopefully it’s not a combination of things.

Let us know how it goes!

Laptops now use the internal main battery as a replacement if the cmos rs2032 battery (in a lot of em at least).

Not that such a low draw cause this level of drain. Maybe the battery is going out as well.

11 minutes to 55 seconds in their example is interesting. I’d wager this won’t do much for the consumer side, but enterprise…could save tons of time.
