  • Everyone else seems to have addressed the cloud part, which I was a little skeptical about too. I understood it is a development aspect, not an end user aspect, so I decided to use it. I’ve been using it as my daily driver for about 6 months and have had no problems.

    The atomic part was the biggest hurdle for me, since I wasn’t familiar with rpm-ostree, but I’m getting the hang of it. It’s had the added benefit of keeping me from breaking things through stupid mistakes since I can just roll back my changes.









  • Bluefin/Bazzite/Aurora are immutable, atomic versions of Fedora. I’ll probably explain it wrong but they’re more secured than normal Linux flavors and you get several copies of your core system files, so when you inevitably fuck something up, you roll back to the previous version and undo your mistake.

    I’ve only just moved over to Bazzite in the last 6 months or so, so I’m no expert, but it’s been a cinch to get most games running.


  • I don’t think it’s quite that simple. I’m a dad to a FtM trans teenager and I was born in the early 80s. There’s a lot of “inertia” to the worldview presented as “normal” in education, media, and society at large just in my lifetime.

    I think the first time I learned that homosexuality was a thing was from Ellen. I know now that everyone isn’t hetero but every relationship I saw around me, in books, in movies for my the most formative years of my life defined it as “normal” in my brain.

    All I knew outside of “gender norms” was Bugs Bunny in drag, Bosom Buddies, Some Like it Hot, Rocky Horror. It was “not normal”, a joke.

    I come from a liberal family with a liberal upbringing. I’ve considered myself an LGBT ally for a long time, but I still have a lot of implicit biases in my head.

    When my child came out as trans, those implicit biases were the first things into my head. I love my son for who he is, want him to be happy, and fully support him. When he decided to dress fem for the first time after hatching my implicit biases were confused. But it doesn’t matter what those biases say because I consciously support what makes him happy.

    My parents were born in the 50s. They are both unabashed feminists but they had another 30 years of that “inertia” to overcome when my son hatched. They still occasionally forget the right pronouns. His one remaining great grandmother has almost 20 years more inertia to overcome and still uses the wrong name occasionally.

    I guess what I’m saying is that I agree with you to an extent. These things threaten their “inertia” and it’s hard to question yourself like that. It’s easier to dig your heels in and fight back.





  • It did work before on Pop, and I should have been clearer. When I put the Switch Pro Controller into pair mode and use the KDE Bluetooth module to connect a new Bluetooth device, it doesn’t even see the device. I am able to see and pair other Bluetooth devices without trouble.

    I was going to familiarize myself with some terminal Bluetooth commands tomorrow and maybe dig up an old Bluetooth controller to see if it’s specific to controllers.

    I have an 8bitdo controller attached and working fine, but it’s got a wired base station that uses 2.4ghz to communicate with. I’d just use the 8bitdo controller, but it doesn’t have a gyro that I need for certain games.

    Edit I was able to solve this by using ‘bluetoothctl scan on’. It made the device appear in the KDE Bluetooth settings panel and it paired like normal.


  • I recently switched to Bazzite from Pop! and cannot get my Bluetooth to see my Switch Pro controller. It works fine wired, I can connect other devices via Bluetooth, the controller will connect other computers fine.

    I’ve tried two different USB Bluetooth adapters on USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports on the front, back and on the extra USB port on my keyboard. I’ve rebooted, restarted the Bluetooth service, and googled the hell out of it, but most problems I’ve seen are from years ago before Linux officially included the Pro controller driver in the kernel.
