  • I had issues with Solaar detecting my devices when plugging the dongle in a USB hub in the past, even when the connected devices worked. Maybe you can try to connect the dongle to another port, in best case directly on the Notebook or PC mainboard, just to make sure that this is not the issue.

    This being said, it works for me on even with a USB hub on a freshly installed Fedora on a new PC.


  • Super important. I do also choose a DE first and look for a distro that supports it out of the box second.

    This being said, while I think Gnome looks amazing, it’s whole UX is killing me. I tried it over and over again, because it looks so beautyful. But it always starts to frustrate and annoy me.

    I was ling term Cinnamon user and recently switched to KDE Plasma. Luckily, as Linux users we have a choice.


  • Hey there!

    I used Mint for the last years and it is my main distro for Desktops for more than a decade with the exception of Manjaro for a couple of years. Since I wanted to try KDE, I was looking for another Distro for my new notebook.

    I really like Debian based distros, because I’m very familiar with it. And I do like Ubuntu. I do not like all of Canonicals desicions, but have to admit, that they do a lot of good stuff for the linux community too.

    Still, there were some reason why I did not want to use Kubuntu. I also wanted to have up to date software and kernel and therefore Debian itself was out. Time to look for a new distro.

    After trying Nobara, Auroora, openSUSE Tumbleweed and PikaOS and finding some super anoying stuff in all of them, I thought I should give Fedora a try. That should have been the obvious choice in the first place, but I think I wanted something more “special”.

    And what should I say? It just works. Installation and setup was easy, all my hardware was detected, I got used to dnf super quickly and I’m super happy with it. It has only been a week and therefore I have no long term experience, but my first impression is, that it is a super clean and well defined distro. I’m super positive that it will be solid choice for a daily driver.










  • It’s a more than 4 years old blog post.

    I can’t tell much about the things that the writer complains about. But concerning Cosmic: I think a new additional DE is a win. People who like it can use it, others can skip it. More variation means more choice.

    Personally: I find Cosmic still a bit barebone. It is very fast. It think it looks quite good (besides their wallpapers). It’s not yet there, where it needs to be for me to use it as a daily driver, but I find it impressive what System 76 released in their first final version.

    Gnome is the most beautyful DE in my opinion, but I find it’s UX absolut horrible. I hate usining it without quite some extensions and I do absolutely not use it. Look at it, yeah. But using it is not intuitive at all for me.

    Luckily, there are other DE’s I like. That’s the beauty about Linux.






  • I’m a big fan of racing games. No real racing simulation, but more arcade style. When I got a Xbox Series X as my first games console after over a decade I first downloaded Forza Horizon 5, because it’s supposed to be one of the best racing games on Xbox. I was so anoyed by the whole story… I just want to race and nothing else.

    I got NFS Hot Pursuit Remastered. Loved the original when I was fun and enjoyed the Remaster on Xbox.

    Some games just try to add more and more and to please everyone but in the end nobody is completly happy with the result.
