I installed MX on an old Acer tablet/laptop Hybrid. It’s one of the few that would run due to its 32bit bootloader but 64bit system. It works fine, but I wasn’t blown away either.

Your security, is the connection to the outside world safe?

What about security? How easy is it to crack?

Sounds like it could have more to do with the network than with the explorer itself.

I’m such a Linux man as everyone else here, but I haven’t noticed any lagginess in windows Explorer after the upgrade. It’s just the same, opens folders instantly.

I like Linux, but it isn’t ready for big and complex adoption. No one can figure out why 2d browser animations stutter on my laptop, which makes browsing incredibly annoying. Imagine figuring out why your organisation directory isn’t synching and it’s an issue in a part of a service that has a dependency that was updated and not tested fully.

As long as this can happen, big companies won’t adopt Linux.

Kid friendly houses? In this economy?

It’s here: https://ostechnix.com/dual-boot-windows-and-pop-os/

In the “Configure SystemD Boot for Dual Boot” section, or maybe I misunderstand the guide?

Yeah that’s true, but dual booting is harder than with most and requires tinkering with the windows boot partition, which I’m not a big fan of.

I tried Fedora but since they removed support of x11 and nvidia doesn’t get along with wayland, I’m out of luck.

Was it hard to set it to always use the dedicated gpu?

Dual booting PopOS seems pretty rough though, with risks to the windows installation and bootloader

Oh, that’s good to know. So I can just install x11 on my Fedora no problem whatsoever?

Only shame is that they don’t recommend dual hooting with windows, which is a requirement for me

Thanks! I’m downloading nobara now, any tips to get it to work as expected?

I’ve done some more digging and indeed, the AMD integrated GPU is being used. Optimus seems like a good option, but then apparently I’d have to use x11 as the desktop renderer because Wayland doesn’t play nice with nvidia.

As far as I can see, x11 will be deprecated not too long from now?

Thanks for your answer! I had 535 installed on Debian 12 and 570 on Fedora 42. This is the result of fastfetch (neofetch is EOL). Let me know if you need any more info or if you think you have something that might help. Thanks!

Interesting, thanks! Do you happen to have a link to it?

It seems indeed the nvidia drivers disable wayland. I played around in Firefox settings a bit more and a setting around input delay seems to have fixed it for now. I hope it stays that way. If not, I’ll migrate to chromium

Smooth as butter on a chromium browser, which is nice but also annoying haha
