#nobara linux

My friend just built this awesome gaming computer for me and he knows that I prefer Linux and I only prefer open source games, so he installed Nobara Linux on it

I still don't miss windows or proprietary games at all!😊

I made the wallpaper with an open source painting software called Krita the character on the wallpaper is my original character her name is May Bartholomew she's 30 years old

It's got 32GB DDR5 RAM, an AMD Ryzen 5-7500F an Intel Arc GPU, and an ASRock motherboard and it works perfect with Nobara!😊

Decided to upgrade my computer, old PC was still good but its running 10 year old hardware and at this point its too much of a hassle to maintain properly updated drivers on an nvidia 1070 card. She was retired to the big farm upstate (the living room) and runs all sorts of emulators as an arcade machine in there. She loves her new job and I get a console to relax with in the living room.

The new girl is a beast rocking top end hardware (this shit was expensive but I just put it on the credit card and pray) whisper quiet fans which is really good. She's running two SSDs as main drives and I'll add in a 4TB hard drive later for mass storage.

The main (2TB) SSD is running nobara linux as my daily driver, have been using it for a while now and I really love that distro, things are really seamless and hassle free. (Also KDE is the superior desktop environment)

The small (500GB) SSD is running windows as a secondary OS just for some stuff where I can't get it to run on linux (games with anti-cheat mostly)

PC will mainly be used for gayming but gives me plenty of room to play around with my own coding projects and stuff, been bitching that I want to get back to streaming so I might pick that up again.

After a few terrifying moments like flashing the BIOS and accidentally knocking some power pins to my drives without noticing before I tried to boot, I have once again upgraded my PC. Now I'm just sat here looking at Hyfetch at this.

How to get windows-like screenshot tool in Linux Nobara 39

If you're looking to emulate the feature of pressing win+shift+s and getting to take a rectangular screenshot that you can then copy and paste into say, discord. It's a simple shortcut add to make this feature happen in Nobara 39 (and/or Fedora) with Spectacle.

First press super user key (windows key) , type in shortcuts, and press enter

Either click on spectacle, or search for it with the searchbar

Click the arrow next to "Capture rectangular region"

Left of the trashcan click on the pre-existing shortcut (it will say meta+shift+print)

5. It will then change to input, just press windows key+shift+s to input the shortcut

6. Click apply on the bottom right, and we're done! We now have win+shift+s screenshot functionality on Nobara.

After a month of experimenting, installing various distros on my laptops and my little MC server box I somewhat impulsively bought a 1TB SSD, put Nobara on a stick, shrunk a secondary windows partition on my big HDD, and officially starting dual booting Linux on my PC with it as my main OS on the system. It was rather scary but I still have Windows as a back up and I've actually made myself extremely comfortable with my setup so far! :D

It is currently in its early stages but I've got my vital programs on, figured out some extra customization stuff, lost plenty of time just looking at the various toys I installed on the terminal like cava, and now I'm thinking about properly doing it up! I should probably get a different wallpaper for my second monitor as bellow Firefox it is the same as the my main screen on the right, but eh- I'll do it later.

So uh- I guess I'm, fully a part of the Linux gang?

Okay, the dGPU in my laptop is a GTX 1050 TI, so support for it was dropped from the latest driver a while ago, and I did know that: at that time I went through the procedure that was in the Nobara Wiki to install older proprietary drivers (580xx in my case). Worked perfectly for months, no notes.

HOWEVER

One of the recent Nobara updates just got rid of the installed driver woth no warning. The updater did mention dropping support for Pascal and older cards, but it did not mention that it would completely destroy setups for cards that stopped being supported a year ago! And the worst part is that they also just straight up removed the tutorial on how to setup propretary drivers from the wiki.

Lol I did nerd shit. I switched to using Nobara Linux because I love my steam deck and fuck Windows last month. And today I just setup docker containers for BitTorrent, vpn, and Servarr stuff.... And it actually works somehow.... I just feel nerdy and cool

Ngl, I absolutely hate Spectacle, the screenshot utility for KDE, getting rid of the side bar and instead splitting the functionality and information across 3 drop down menus. I have no clue who's idea it is, it's a massive downgrade, and I wanna know how to revert to the previous version of the software.
