  • I’m very much a noob. Personally found Nobara easier to install and maintain than Ubuntu/Arch and derivatives. Always went back to windows in frustration until Nobara. Fully aware that I may be a lucky anomaly. Whether using the startup pop up thingy to update or Discover I haven’t had any broken updates or kernels. Sometimes I still run NobaraPackageManager bauh or yumex and it hasn’t broken anything. Never check the discord. I subbed to the reddit comm before leaving for lemmy so sometimes saw it on my feed but didn’t check it. The one quirk is it doesn’t seem to have an upgrade notification, but even running old versions for months hasn’t had anything break so far.

    Appreciate you adding to this, though! My noob experience of ‘it just works’ without needing to be involved in the community is apparently not universal. I first tried it after hearing that the dev puts it on his non-techy father’s computer for ease of use and low maintenance, which has been my experience so far. But I wouldn’t want to recommend something that didn’t work. Sorry it’s been giving you problems, wasn’t aware as I don’t keep up with that stuff.





  • KDE Plasma is great!
    Feel free to keep on trucking with your setup. I’ve been using a different solution for discord streaming and wanted to share in case it sounds helpful for you. It’s been an improvement for me. Your mileage may vary.

    Do not use your main account, make another one only for streaming with audio. Works with x11 and Wayland has more features. It’s a slight annoyance to have to connect to a discord chat with a second account but this works really well for streaming. TOS is sustained with main account and you actually get working audio/video streaming with a second account that won’t get banned (been doing this for years) but even if it does it won’t matter because it’s only used for streaming.

    Just another option, feel free to disregard if it’s not right for you.























  • Particles are going to settle at roughly the same rate either orientation.

    • Vertical storage will stack higher and have a greater distance to opening on top, causing the not mixed well enough issue.
    • Horizontal storage more evenly distributes the mix for a more similar pour upon reorientation.
    • Flat on it’s face would distributor even closer to even mix, but that way lies madness and is not optimal for pantry storage. [Maybe flat on top of fridge might work?]

    So the spectrum will be the same at any orientation except the effect will be more or less pronounced. With flat storage leading to the least granular separation while also being inconvenient to practically store.
