I like the idea of immutable distros a lot, but I realised they are not for me, at least not now.

I couldn’t install global themes because the SDDM is immutable. There is a workaround, but it didn’t work 100% for me.

I couldn’t get Steam to put shortcuts on the desktop (it’s a known thing, simply I didn’t know it). It only worked with Bazzite which comes with Steam preinstalled. But then I couldn’t edit these shortcuts (for example: -silent) because if I did, they would vanish.

Then I experimented with Waydroid. There was something I wanted to test but couldn’t use the online advice because Bazzite/Aurora doesn’t have dnf for example.

There were other little things I’m used to tinker on my system and couldn’t so I realised, I wanna stick with other distros for the moment.

Mine is set to expire: Expires / Max-Age:“Fri, 23 Aug 2024 06:40:27 GMT” - so that’s in 7 days. Great find though!

Yes I assumed that WebGL was the culprit :). And I totally agree with you, especially when the content is about surveillance.

Interesting, thanks! Never heard of Nitrux before.

Yes that’s true. I just realised that I apparently tinker too much to use an immutable distro as of now. But I’m definitely keeping an eye on them.

Yes of course, that’s always an option. I was just trying to look over my Mint horizon and check out other distros and how they work. Exciting!

Just did some digging - I cannot see that mentioned post on lemm.ee support. I can find the community but the last post that shows for me is from 3 months ago and when I search for the post’s title I get “no results”. Bit off-topic though, sorry.

Possibly, but I’m wondering why it’s only affecting Lemmy then? (I’m using Librewolf that’s based on Firefox)

I had allowed all scripts for that website, still not working.

I like that article, I’m in a similar position at the moment. I’ve been using Mint on my Nvidia machine for a long time now, but with the new Mint 22 update that’s also based on Ubuntu 24.04, I’m facing similar issues and so I’ve done some distrohopping over the past couple of weeks. I’ve tried Aurora/Bazzite and Nobara as Fedora based distros, Garuda and CachyOS as Arch based ones, OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and probably something else I can’t remember right now. All of them were great distros but had certain flaws that were offputting somehow. And I’m in no rush, since Mint 21.3 is still supported for a while.

I’m still open to suggestions what to try next! I’m getting faster and faster with fresh installs :)

No not at all, I just said that because I’m often under the impression that many people never search before posting and it sometimes annoys me so I try not to make the same mistake :D. I still miss the old forum days where we had that Bart Simpson meme.

Thanks for piecing it together, it might be a problem for more users, I’m relieved to read it’s not only happening to me!

“Browser not supported” - weird choice not to support hardened browsers like Librewolf.

Thanks! I was searching for posts before I posted but hadn’t found that post.

Edit: that post suggests to clear cookies - I’ve tried that twice on two machines, same problem still.

Refreshing logs me out when I’m logged in and does nothing when I’m logged out.

I used to have it from time to time too, but now it’s every single time and that’s inconvenient.

Same discussion from 4 days ago with the link to the respective Github issue: https://lemmy.ml/post/18936433

Invidious is facing the same problem, there’s issues on both Githubs since June.

The game itself was for me mid - not good not bad, but the ending? I can’t believe no one mentioned it yet, that was the most impressive ending I’ve experienced in a game ever. Without spoilers, for those who played it, the piano notes and then darkness, I couldn’t believe it, it was so good.

A bad time to install Tumbleweed? I just downloaded the ISO today, not kidding.
