Maki<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://layer8.space/@tux0r" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>tux0r</span></a></span> I'm always willing to help out when someone posts a genuine question. The federated nature of Mastodon does mean that not all questions get seen as people are spread around a bit and might have their own communities which they do see and the larger swath of them which they do not. Perhaps we should have a federated hashtag like <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Linuxhelp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Linuxhelp</span></a> or such?</p>

Maxxy<p>Would anyone be able to help me with a Linux problem? For some reason when I am playing games, a random white box will just flash in the top left for a second.

helplessduck<p>To allay perilous boredom, I decided to rebuild my homelab server with Ubuntu 24.04. It's the first time I've ever done anything with custom partitions. Does lsblk - a and fdisk -l show different FS types because they're talking about a different attribute, or have I done something wrong? I want a 200GB partition for root and the OS, and a 250GB partition for data. During setup, I said LVM for both. Everything else is as it should be.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/LinuxHelp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LinuxHelp</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/SysAdmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SysAdmin</span></a></p><p><a href="https://pastebin.com/R4YsHnK8" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">pastebin.com/R4YsHnK8</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>
Rei<p>So relatively recently I thought of trying out Linux, and then the whole Recall thing got announced, which pushed me even more in this direction. I'm not ready for a complete switch <i>just yet</i><span>, but I did make a dual boot with Windows 10 on one side and Fedora on the other.<br><br>There's an issue I consistently have, though. Whenever I boot into Fedora, the first app I open (which is usually Firefox) takes ages to load. After that it's fine (for the most part, more of that in a bit), but when I first access Firefox, a good 3-5 minutes is spent on waiting for it to allow me to do anything. <br><br>Now that alone is not </span><i>that</i><span> big of an issue, if it's just a few minutes and just whenever I first boot into Linux that day. But for the past couple days, on top of this, I get frequent "Not responding" on stuff like Firefox and Files. It would probably do the same thing on other stuff, but I don't have a bunch of apps installed yet, so I wouldn't know. It's gotten to a point where I have my tablet within arm's reach in case Fedora decides that I won't be able to use my PC for like 5 minutes. Especially cause I can't even forcefully close the program and reopen it. Even that takes a long time, so I might as well just let it recover on its own.<br><br>But I'm not sure why this is happening? Any other Linux users (particularly Fedora users) that have encountered this as well?<br><br></span><a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/Linux" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linux</a> <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/Fedora" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fedora</a> <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/FedoraLinux" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FedoraLinux</a> <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/LinuxHelp" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LinuxHelp</a></p>
