  • OP seems to be running 8gig of ram, if that laptop is stock. I have actually run Bazzite Gnome on worse hardware (2 gigs of ram), but that was for the lulz, not because it was a good idea. Silverblue is Gnome DE, and OP seems to want a much lighter weight DE than either gnome or KDE.

    IME, Debian is fairly minimal tinkering once you get the proprietary drivers worked out. Although I don't know how Ubuntu handles updates, is it as (usually) hands off like the immutable/atomic distros?

    Has someone tried to do an atomic/immutable distro with one of the lightweight DEs? Seems like there's a niche there, although Mint might be similar enough from an end user experience standpoint that it's not really worth the effort.

  • What's worth playing on Xbox 360 that's not more easily accessible through Steam or GOG? I stuck to PlayStation back then because I was mostly interested in RPGs, so I'm not really sure what's worth checking out (and yeah, I still need to play Mass Effect, even if the last game was controversial - but that's definitely better on Steam or GOG).

    Edit: minor rephrase

  • In the 00s there were these special walkie-talkies that would set up an independent mesh network to communicate without cell service or internet connectivity. That was more peer to peer than federation, I guess, but it's a pretty cool invention that was only used to send messages between Barbie coloured pieces of plastic.

    Meshtastic is trying to do something similar right now, I'm not sure how much Barbie colored plastic is involved though. I wonder what kind of tech those were using, I've never heard of it before and Google isn't being helpful.

    ... Wait, are you taking about Cybiko? I wanted one of those when I was a kid even though I didn't know anyone who had one and didn't live somewhere with the density to really use the tech.

  • Update: Good (?) news - I just ran into a comment on the Discourse group linking to this post because they're having the same issue, and several more people posted on the Bazzite Discord.

    I didn't break it!

  • The developers are active on Discord and I'll make a post there Monday when I have more time to tinker with it and reply to people, and until then I'll enjoy the perks of an atomic distro, lol. Thanks for your help and the thorough explanation!

  • You're right, it's 1. I went ahead and pinned it. I ran rpm-ostree update and it's still not working, I'll keep using the working deployment for the weekend and I'll have more time to troubleshoot Monday and Tuesday.

    At least I understand what the kernel panic message means thanks to the people here.

  • What America are you living in? The pigs here tear gassed folks sitting on their front porch during the George Floyd protests - reporters were attacked and arrested and one was injured so badly that she's going to die from her injuries. And despite what Fox News might have said, those were overwhelmingly peaceful protests, at least until the cops started shit.

  • Or at least actually finished, for some reasonable definition of "finished". I'm going to buy Haunted Chocolatier on release and I'd pre-order that given the chance and I never pre-order (I'm actually 1 for 1 on pre orders, I pre ordered Star Trek Voyager Elite Force).

  • I've got a 2021 Kindle Fire HD 10 tablet and I'm sick of Amazon's crap. I mostly use it for watching YouTube, any recommendations for a ~$150 (non-Samsung) tablet the same size or bigger with a headphone jack? Willing to buy used.
