Those two are really the only good use cases today for facebook. Insane how Marketplace pretty much overnight almost killed local listing sites. Events I don’t see good alternatives, don’t have much hopes for that one, time will show

I just switched to Bazzite yesterday and it’s insane how far linux has come. Next-next and everything works, even on a nightmare combination of hardware (Lenovo Legion half assed uefi, amd apu+ nvidia gpu).

For the first time in a long time I might stick seeing the state of Linux today, especially Plasma 6. I’m eyeing Fedora 40 or Bazzite, tried Kinoite and pretty much everything I need works out of the box, the only thing I need to figure out is OneDrive.

Care to ELI5 for us casuals who did not catch and are missing the obvious?

Maybe yt-dlp might be for the job?
Just a few days ago I downloaded some videos from Vimeo without issues which required sign in to even view

Ubisoft won’t own my money too!

Right off the bat it sit right, thank you

In the same boat, I miss it still, other ones have a worse UI for me and hate the ad slots in the app although I have DNS ad blocking but its still annoying. Do update me if you find a good replacement as we’re looking for the same thing

Right off the top of my head I can think of two:

• best chance sites are working as intended, including DRM compatibility
• probably best integration with streaming solutions and integration with other apps

I’a bit lazy so I just use precompiled apk’s from some good soul from the internet and avoid the hassle alltogether. I roll with a release until something breaks, whick can go for quite some time and then manually just install the new build, works flawlessly. Here’s the source I use

Just a few days ago I pulled an old Sony’s NWZ player as they still have superior audio quality compared to phones. I had to throw it away after 10+ years as the battery died.

Thank you for conforming, just ordered the earpods

Thank you for the detailed testing, that helped!

From what I’ve seen the issues didn’t appear for everyone so not sure what the deal was but for the past few days everything’s working and fixed

It seems they are silently fixing stuff on their end, packages are being repaired in Package manager and version check is working normally

On the safe side better to wait out for a few days for things to stabilize but it appears everything’s getting back up

This one’s hilarious, but that one’s not gonna work for long as they will axe almost all non-government approved VPNs

Thank you very much for this, finally managed to disable and rebind some remote buttons for apps that Ive already nuked off the TV. Works great with some workarounds.

Thanks for the heads up, I’m distro hopping these days and looking for options on where to settle

Seeing a lot of Manjaro here, what’s the deal? I installed it just yesterday on a test machine to check it out as I plan on steering over from windows long-term so just browsing what’s out there. Don’t really have issues and it ticks the boxes of a more user-friendly installation and comes out of the box with Plasma. I may try out pure Arch or the GUI fork just not to have the hassle of setting up the DE

Just to add a perspective from the other side of the fence, I have a gaming laptop running Windows 11 (yes I know) where this (or a very similar) issue has been plaguing Ryzen users for at least a year and a half. The issue is that TPM per se is not causing issues if turned on, but if BitLocker encryption is on it will cause occasional audio stutters and intermittent complete system halts. The only thing that reliably helps is completely turning off Bitlocker, the TPM chip can stay on and is of course needed for W11. OEMs and AMD have been digging their heads in the sand like ostritches and they have released the odd fix that does nothing to fix the underlying issue. I can’t see MS doing anything to reverse course on requirements and am getting a bit fed up with their BS lately, browsing what distro might suit me best and might pull the trigger and finally switch…
