  • It mentions it fixed bluetooth issues with certain devices, I wonder if it’s related to what I’m experiencing on regular fedora KDE (and EndeavorOS too) with a kernel version 6.9.3, CachyOS kernel on fedora, Liqourix on EndeavorOS, where my game controller will not connect to Bluetooth unless I restart the bluetooth service or pair the controller again.

    With Fedora’s default kernel which is currently 6.8.11 I don’t have this issue. Honeslty I don’t know what’s up, and from a quick search I couldn’t find people with the same issue. I’ll search again later just in case


  • One pet peeve of mine is how in Windows 10 switching between virtual desktops was flawless, and somehow in Windows 11 they fucked it up. At first it had no animation when switching, the taskbar kind of glitches. Now it has an animation but it’s kind of delayed and the taskbar still kind of glitches, it seems to reload or something. Kinda crazy honestly







  • Just between yesterday and today I was struggling with this, to get DoH or DoT working, but Network Manager would override /etc/resolv.conf. At least I figured out how to stop NM from modifying the DNS.

    I tried my putting my dns settings in /etc/systemd/resolv.conf, as suggested by Nextdns setup page, but that didn’t seem to work, at least on Tumbleweed. On my Debian laptop running as a headless server, the /etc/systemd/resolv.conf does work.

    I’m currently with Stubby, and it’s working at least, but I would’ve liked to figure out the systemd-resolved way on Tumbleweed.


  • I would say option 3.

    I can share my current setup in case you’re interested.

    I recently moved back to Tumbleweed, and did the following:

    / -> 50GB, BTRFS, currently 13GB used I think

    /home -> 800something GB, BTRFS, same drive

    /boot/efi -> 512MB i think, same drive

    Then a separate drive mounted to a folder in my home directory, for games mostly.

    So far it eworks well, at least for me. BTRFS snapshots are working fine too. Flatpaks I have installed as user so they get installed in my home directory.











  • I found out about this port forwarding matter a few days ago and gave it a try with PIA, and was disappointed with the results, but I’d like to know if I did something wrong on my end.

    I’m currently torrenting about 100 torrents in a VPS running Qbittorrent with a Wireguard config from Mullvad, and I’ve been able to get great speeds, about 500 Mbps at the highest.

    The other day I set up PIA with gluetun, through OpenVPN, with port forwarding too, put all the 100 torrents in Deluge too. The upload speeds for seeding didn’t seem any faster, but the download speeds were not quite as good. It would top at around 200 Mbps, best case.

    Out of curiosity I also tried wireguard configs from Windscribe, with no port forwarding though, and it would also top out at about 250 Mbps or so.

    I’m currently back with Mullvad and Qbittorrent. It’s been working fine for months now, so I’m wondering if I’m really missing out without port forwarding.

    Anyway, and tips or suggestions are welcome!
