I reinstalled Ubuntucinnamon because I enjoyed using it when I had it installed, but between me last having it installed and now there seems to have been an update that has broken cinnamon's system tray. Which, for me, is a major...

Hello Kbin,...
I would love to see more hardware makers expose BIOS settings through the OS, either by developing the necessary open-source drivers themselves or by publishing the specs so the community can do it. The current situation of having to reboot into the UEFI setup makes it impossible to tune those settings for real workloads.
Hello there. I'm a beginner so keep that in mind. I have an old laptop (something like 10 yo). It has an HDD, 4 gigs of DDR3, an i3 4th gen 1.7 GHz and an NVidia Geforce 710M (Windows Game Ready Driver 391.35 WHQL which I think doesn't support Wayland). It also has CSM BIOS so yeah.

It currently has Windows 10 Home but Linux is probably lighter (right?)...
Hello Everyone, I was planning to get a hard drive to install Linux in to use for daily driving. I was looking at Nobara for a bit but after the RedHat drama, should I still be using it? or should I look at something else for the time being? Thank you.
As I found out today after three solid months of use lol. Power usage went from 30-35W to 20-23W while watching YT....
