Out of curiosity, does Pop have these drivers right now?

IDK about Mesa, but it does have the 510 driver.

Fedora Linux 36 is officially out now
10 May 2022 at 3:16 pm UTC

Just updated. First impressions aren't great, first it'd refuse to upgrade with the ever-amusing "no klass" message, then after rebooting left clicking with the touchpad didn't work.

Another reboot later and I can click, but gnote no longer syncs with a local dir. I know it's deprecated, time to move to the new notes program, but it's such a hassle, I was putting it off as long as I could.

The dark/light mode switch animation is nice, it's just like macos some 5 years ago.

Anyway, new release, yay! \o/

Star Labs add an AMD Ryzen option to the StarBook Mk V

Gen4 SSDs are certainly a feature, but I think the key element here is that Thunderbolt 4 is only available with Intel. Quite a big drawback of the AMD version.

Steam Deck updates out for Stable and Beta, better Refresh Rate Switching

There’s people who still play d&d? How awesome.

My package hasn’t moved an inch since Fri evening, I guess German people don’t work on weekends, even in shipping companies.

Canonical going 'all in' on gaming for Ubuntu, new Steam Snap package in testing

I'd be happier with snaps if at least they started faster. 10 secs for FF from an NVMe drive, 40 seconds from a spinning drive in a recent Ubuntu is a joke.

There was no momentem for Steam machines. They were dead in the water the moment they were announced.

Sorry Arch (EndeavourOS), it's not working out any more and hello Fedora

I recently moved to Fedora myself and I’m now a fan. Ubuntu doesn’t do it for me any more and the Manjaro I was also using was just too much hassle.

If they wanted to stay relevant with the Linux crowd. Which they don't.

A new tool 'unsnap' helps you move from Snaps to Flatpaks

Quoting: CatKiller
Quoting: damarrindo you know what I think about snaps and Canonical's decision to make FF one?
Mozilla's decision.

From what I read, Mozilla asked for it, but Canonical made the decision to do it (as they would, since they're trying to promote snaps). Thank fsck there's choice and I'm on Fedora now.
