With the black box, you should do a report, the advantage of this is if you do it, and a developer actually addresses it, it'll be solved for everyone, meaning your only troubleshooting step will be waiting for an update:

https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/Bugs.html

It'd help them out too, and that's also a very likely spot to get troubleshot, as the devs are very knowledgeable.

Unfortunately the situation with nvidia is just horrible ATM because nvidia won't stop being horrible.

you should really report that bug to the greeter people, that should be fixed for everyone

I'm not sure why/if that matters honestly, aside from discoverability I guess.

Are you aware of flatseal?

If you are, is there an issue with using it for you?

If you're using gnome/kde, I see no reason not to run immutable, the advantages of not being immutable are that you can piece together your system, if you're running i3/sway/whatever, being able to choose your panel, your launcher, etc actually has value.

The advantages of immutable are that you'll never end up with a broken system, you can easily roll back to a not broken one if something does break, and the system is separate from your apps.

I highly recommend, as a beginner and a windows user, using fedora kinoite

It's immutable, which means you can't break the system unless you try very hard, and even then, it'll give you a list of previous setups to boot from, and updates can't break it.

It also keeps the system separate from your apps by using flatpak, the intricacies aren't really important as a beginner but basically this means you'll have an absolutely stable rock solid system that you never have to do weird maintenance for

I would highly recommend trying it out, and i'm absolutely willing to help with any issues you run into, feel free to message me on matrix @communist:mozilla.org or here.

as for your questions:

• How would I install NVIDIA drivers?

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-kinoite/troubleshooting/

^ guide is here, a few terminal commands, then you're done

• Does Wayland work with NVIDIA?

https://community.kde.org/Plasma/Wayland/Nvidia ^Yes, here's the known issues page for kde

• A lot of distros are moving to Wayland. How would I ensure I stay on an Xorg session?

You choose X11 or wayland on the login screen.

• I enjoy modding Bethesda games. Does Mod Organizer work fully on Linux?

https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/NexusMods.App

^this is actually the successor, and it works natively on linux.

I used to use mod organizer and it also works although is a bit more annoying to setup.

• I’ve had difficulties running my steam games through proton on my laptop. Does promton work with Fedora?

Yes, but I recommend installing proton ge through flatpak and setting it as the default with this command:

         flatpak install com.valvesoftware.Steam.CompatibilityTool.Proton-GE


  

Then go to steams settings > compatibility > enable steam play for all other titles, and run other titles with proton-ge

• With said difficulties with proton, would installing Steam as a flatpak work or will it cause issues?

That's the only way to do it on kinoite, and will not cause issues.

• Can you really not play any games with anti-cheat?

Right now as far as i'm aware only easy-anticheat works. With others you're SOL.

edit: use this apparently https://areweanticheatyet.com/

    
alias orphans='paru -Qtdq | paru -Rns - && pw-play --volume=0.2 "/usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo/complete.oga" &!'


  

I occasionally run this after a

pacman -Q | nvim

and looking through for any garbage.

and then a sudo pacdiff to fix up old config files.

but I do that like once a year or so. that's all it really takes unless you're constantly installing stuff.

Gpt4all is easy to use

I was annoyed by the superbowl as a child because we had a tv so everyone watched while I wanted to watch cartoons.

Now that I have agency and my own computer I don't even notice the superbowl.

HOLY SHIT IT WORKS

WHY DOES THAT WORK?

I googled what the brackets do but I still don't understand why that fixes it, but it does. Thank you so much. You cannot imagine how much annoyance this issue has caused me over the years.

edit: SCRATCH THAT

I've found a situation where xclip -o outputs the correct thing, but wl-paste is outputting something different and incorrect, even if I run my bindsym

xclip -o | wl-copy would fix this, if i ran it from alacritty, however, sway isn't doing it right.

Sigh.

It's specifically citrix workspace that has issues.

"I" begs to differ

How'd you make it red and black?

What theme is that?

it says sponsorblock in the features list:

https://github.com/InfinityLoop1308/PipePipe?tab=readme-ov-file

How?? There are so many tools for that now, I can even do it in teams

I'm using sync with scaled sort right now, it works perfectly

I use vimium c
