Every modern distro keeps previous kernel boot entries available at boot time. You don’t need to use snapshots to simply not boot a potentially problematic kernel update.

There are literally near zero reasons to ever have to reinstall any Linux install. Moving to a more complex distribution isn’t going to solve your problem here, which is just learning a different workflow. That workflow being more akin to software development workflows: if something fucks up, just revert.

If I get a minute I’ll see if I can replicate, but my initial guesses are:

1. Hardware cursor mismatch: try disabling hardware acceleration on the client OR see if there is a setting for forcing or disabling hardware cursors
2. Check the CLI arguments for cursor specific options and mapping to movement. Sometimes there are movement acceleration tweaks that mess things up

Edit: also maybe give this a shot. https://www.azdanov.dev/articles/2025/how-to-create-a-virtual-display-for-sunshine-on-arch-linux

Not sure what you mean about the mouse cursor not showing up. You mean you can interact with the mouse, but just see a cursor? Or no matter which direction you move the mouse the cursor doesn’t get there?

You sure after setting up the virtual display you’re going through the steps to setup the orientation of monitors?

Change your time servers or add more to the load balanced con, and make sure you don’t have a block on your network for those hosts. You can also set the timeout for that particular service to something shorter so it doesn’t hang, or remove deps that rely on it from the service files.

What’s the exact error it’s giving?

Literally nothing. It has nothing to do with Linux.

They won’t make their CAC© checks be always online because they know they’ll lose sales. The reality is that more people will not buy always online games than have the will and know-how to find cracked versions. The segmentation of the general market is just much smaller.

So I don’t think anything will happen here.

Minisforum makes good stuff, but only buy their Refurbished items if you don’t need something specific.

Lots of people buy Beelink minipcs for n100 boxes, but looks like the prices are all jacked right now. [This should only be about $150 maybe.](https://www.newegg.com/beelink-barebone-systems-mini-pc-intel-n95/p/2SW-0012-001Z2?Source=socialshare

I wouldn’t use an old MacMini for much because they aren’t actually power efficient, but any n100 for Ryzen5 minipic with Kodi on it would work just fine for you want. There are plenty of altern6to Kodi, but it’s so simple, it’s hard to pass up.

The only reference people have for these kind of judgements is polling by browser.

You’re talking about users of a specific OS who would spend time to not make that known. They would also opt-out if any reporting about there machine specifics for polls, should they be asked.

I can guarantee real world usage is always higher than these polls suggest. I don’t know about 10%, but they are higher in actuality.

Look up the model of the laptop, and try to find a “display voltage regulator”. Sometimes they sell them a setnfor cheap.

This isn’t a software or OS issue though.

Try using your CMOS’ EFI boot manager and see if it sees both. If so, just skip Grub and use that.

If you’re saying you started on Gnome, then dropped in another DE, you need to switch to an agnostic network manager if you were relying on Gnome’s Desktop Network manager implementation probably.

If you’re saying you booted a clean Fedora Cosmic LiveUSB and couldn’t get WiFi working, you need to look at logs or run through some cli debugging to see what’s up. Probably just Cosmic issues.

Edit: forgot about nmtui. You can use this to debug issues from the clinpretty simply if the desktop tools are failing.

Sounds like this is an older laptop perhaps? Probably the voltage regulator for the display panel not coming back on cleanly.

Try this:

1. Trigger the issue
2. Once the issue starts, turn your brightness ALL the way up and see if it stops
3. If it does, then lower it back down to whatever level seems appropriate

See if that does anything.

Well poking around, it seems that specific plugin was only meant for Gimp 2.10, and you must be on 3.0+ by now, so I would consider it unusable.

I don’t think you need to directly edit the script if that’s what you mean. You want to edit the values in the plug-in menu so it’s not out of bounds. Those get passed to the script, which then executes.

You probably need the direct error instead of this raised exception. Start Gimp from a terminal, trigger the error, and see if the terminal error is showing exactly what the script’s error is.

It’s having an issue with a value. This explains it so I don’t need to write a novel: https://gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=6756

Some of the default values in Gimp Scripts are bad, and it’s kind of a crapshoot.

It’s a week known fact that Al Yankovic is a well known activist against open source everything. He started a ranting campaign against it in the early 80’s.

Weird Al Yankovic is the patron saint of everything open source. He also eats Corn Dogs like a fucking monster.

Nah, it works fine just with ARM builds, but that’s not the point of the SoC. GPU acceleration, security features, and offloading co-processors all need drivers to work properly.
