Following up on #bazzite and #linux
- Still rolling a dice when trying to sleep/suspend
- Have a bizarre issue where the page cache doesn't have any pressure, resulting on the early-oom to trigger way too early (just drop some cache!)

Has anyone tried using Clip Studio Paint on a Linux distro? I am thinking about the possibility of getting LinuxMint or Bazzite before Windows forces me to install 11

Congratulations #bazzite ! Over 20k active weekly devices!

I threw together a quick blog post detailing how I fixed sleep in Bazzite on my Gigabyte motherboard.

Fedora's 32-bit move is bad news. 😲

@MKueppers @FediThing definitely. A lot of #Linux distros these days work fine for surface level users. Thanks in large part to #Ubuntu and its derivatives. I use #popos and #bazzite and neither requires the use of CLI. Though I think users should learn some simple commands as the CLI is largely the same across distros.

Back to Dathomir today, where things get a bit... unusual. Fighting Nightsisters, Gorgara, and making a hasty escape!

Bazzite would shut down if Fedora goes ahead with removing 32-bit | GamingOnLinux https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2025/06/bazzite-would-shut-down-if-fedora-goes-ahead-with-removing-32-bit/

I remember when there were many people suspicious or even fighting against installing 64-bit Linux distros in modern CPUs. Now I get to see people fighting to keep 32-bit alive. So weird.

Today we were back on Kashyyyk, in search of further wisdom in the origin tree. As always the imperials are never far behind, and this time we came face to face with the Ninth Sister.

Been quite happy with #bazzite 🤔
Only thing so far that hasn't worked out of the box has been #WayDroid

Fedora to gaming community: "We're making great progress!" Also Fedora: "Let's break Steam support" 🎯

Bazzite founder says they'd shut down if 32-bit support gets axed, right as Fedora gains gaming traction. Sometimes progress means knowing when NOT to modernize everything at once 🤔

I literally got 2 friends to switch to #Bazzite a week ago! If this proposal goes through and Bazzite goes titsup, that would suck ass from a straw :v

An unfortunate casualty of the loss of 32-bit app support for Fedora.

Meanwhile, made a quick stop off over on Dathomir to repair our dual-bladed lightsaber, swung around to Kashyyk to participate in a revolution and upgrade BD1 with lots of techy goodness, then back to Zeffo to continue exploring the tombs.

Along the way, we met up with a(n unwelcome) familiar face.
