  • My current woes relate to choosing a distro (Fedora 40 KDE) that is compatible with secure boot, for simplicity of dual booting, only to find that the DisplayLink driver that I need to run my screens is not signed. Therefore I either have to switch off Secure Boot anyway, or manually re-sign it after every kernal update with some convoluted series of terminal commands… which I will not be doing.

    That and there not being an equivalent of the CRU configuration tool that lets me tweak my Freesync monitor’s ranges to stop intolerable brightness flickering.

    Finding that none of the useful AMD Software settings like Fluid Motion Frames or Anti-Lag are supported is also a random pain.

    Every attempt I go for, I generally find roadblock after roadblock until I give up because I have too limited a lifespan to spend it bouncing between forum pages tangentially related to my issue.


  • If I could get easy to access, judgement free tech support for Linux then I’d be fine (outside of walled gardens like Discord). I just don’t know how to solve my problems in Linux especially considering there are so many additional variables and often you either don’t get answers, are asking in the wrong place, or are asking in the wrong way. A lot of the time you just get scorn for not being born a Linux power user.

    I do feel like I have basically no choice but to switch once W10 runs its course. I’ve got a dual boot of Fedora 40 KDE that I’m toying with.
