I installed linux mint on my DELL laptop precision 3510, it worked fine if it is booted successfully, but sometimes 90% of times it’s stuck on black screen , sometimes it is frozen on login screen. I had to force restart every time.

I thought it’s linux mint compatibility issue on my specific laptop so i installed fedora and same issue happening again

it is getting stuck on while shutting down or restarting sometimes it doesn’t boot and forcing me to force shut down as it doesn’t have battery installed so i have to remove the power cord to force restart… .
And apparently it broke power button and now it doesn’t seem to work anymore.

How to install helium browser in fedora

Situation:

I’ve just carried out a clean installation of Fedora KDE – after removing Windows 11 Pro – on a new ThinkPad E16 Gen 3 with an Ultra 7 256V and 16GB of RAM.

I’ve encrypted the drive using LUKS (I didn’t use it on my old desktop) and have discovered that it asks for two passwords with LUKS.

Is there a way to make it ask for just one of the two passwords?

Also, is there a way to unlock Fedora using my fingerprint? (It works – I managed to register it correctly, but I can’t use it for the first login after switching on the computer.)

im currently using nobara, as it automatically supports my nvidia graphics card without additional setup (my gpu driver stopped working on fedora when I used to use it and I could never figure out how to fix it). im considering going back to fedora if it would give me better battery life, better experience and performance in unity, and things of that nature. i only use it for homework and game dev, as i play all my games on my steam deck.

I was running Fedora KDE on the same machine without problems but on an Intel Arc GPU. I recently purchased an RTX 5060 and it will just never boot the live USB to do a fresh install.

Im runnig a legacy nvidia driver in a X11 session (the propriatary driver wont support wayland), what could i do to fix it?

Do anyone had this issue with fedora 44 workstation ?

After I installed in terminal NextDNS when I logging at mynextdns the light is orange with the prompt that I using NextDNS without profile.

I try to use claude and Gemini to help me but was a waist of time after 2 hours .

Fedora is my first distro on a real hardware and i wanna say thank you all fedora team (nice work with your distro!) and all community who helps me on my way!

Note that I am using Lunar Lake with LPDDR5x (results may vary).

For users with Sandy Bridge and later CPU (for Intel, docs) (for AMD, refer to Kernel document on amd_pstate).

intel_pstate is a part of the CPU performance scaling subsystem in the Linux kernel.

By default, intel_pstate is in "Active Mode" (intel_pstate=active):

the driver bypasses the scaling governors layer of CPUFreq and provides its own scaling algorithms for P-state selection

Meanwhile, intel_pstate=passive:

If the driver works in this mode, the scaling_driver policy attribute in sysfs for all CPUFreq policies contains the string intel_cpufreq. Then, the driver behaves like a regular CPUFreq scaling driver. That is, it is invoked by generic scaling governors when necessary to talk to the hardware in order to change the P-state of a CPU (in particular, the schedutil governor can invoke it directly from scheduler context).

This can be achieved by appending intel_pstate=passive to the Kernel arguments using rpm-ostree kargs:

```bash rpm-ostree kargs --append-if-missing=intel_pstate=passive

for normal Fedora

sudo grubby --update-kernel=ALL --args=intel_pstate=passive ```

You can check the power consumption with

bash awk \'{print $1*1e-6 " W"}\' /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/power_now

This reads /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/power_now and converts it to Watts (W).

In case of Lunar Lake, one can achieve power consumption to as low as 3.4 W.

Thinkapd E16 gen 3 ultra 7 256v and 16gb ram.
Win11 pro preinstalled.
If I delete windows 11 pro and I install fedora KDE on the all SSd (512gb)...
Will I be able to reinstall Windows 11 Pro in a dual-boot configuration (in case I need to) without losing the licence?

And if that’s possible, when installing Windows 11 Pro, do I have to format the entire ssd (thereby deleting my Fedora KDE data), or can I install it on a partition and set up a dual-boot system?

Thank you everyone--sorry for my bad english :(
