I think it’s fine if Microsoft has their own nuclear power plant as long as every Microsoft corporate officer is required to live downwind of it. ✌🏻

Oh sorry I meant law enforcement. Not sure what my dumb ass was trying to abbreviate there.
I mainly started using exFAT on flash drives (even on new ones) since it is interoperable between Windows, Linux, and Intel Mac. To be clear, I never don’t unmount the drive properly under normal conditions, but I remember reading around the time it was introduced that the Windows implementation guaranteed the buffers were flushed after every write (meaning no unwritten data remains when the activity indicator on the drive stops blinking) but now I can’t find any evidence that was ever the case. Wouldn’t be the first time I got bad info from the Internet. 🤷♂️
Random thoughts, no particular order
I think btrfs was the default the last time I installed Bazzite, but I don’t really know anything about it so I switched it to ext4. I understand the snapshot ability is nice with rolling release distros, though.
It’d been ages since I’d used FAT32 for anything until I made a Debian live USB when I was setting up my pi-hole on an old Core2Duo recently. It would only boot on FAT32 for reasons I probably once knew. 😆
NTFS was an improvement over the FATs what with the journaling, security, file streams, etc. I use it wherever I still use Windows (work).
Most of my general purpose USB flash drives use exFAT. I like not having to worry about eject/unmount.
There was a lot of coverage of it back at the beginning of July. Wish I’d paid more attention then haha.

Google’s official position is “contact us” which I did today, but they wouldn’t tell me whether it would cost me or not without sending them a video of the problem, which rubbed me the wrong way. I know my phone is out of warranty now but the manufacturer broke this with their own update. Probably no more Google hardware for me. 😐

My man! That hadn’t occurred to me. Phone appears to be off. Thank you!
All I’ve gotten so far are sore fingers. 😆
Wouldn’t USB debugging have to be enabled on the device for that to work?
I only have the two options, Try Again and Factory Data Reset. The first just reboots the device and I return to the same two options. The second asks for a confirmation, then it shows an error (/system/bin/tune2fs is missing) and takes me to the “dead droid” screen briefly, after which it reboots and we’re back to the same two options.
I just learned this myself. Motorola Mobility is owned by Lenovo.
Forgive the stupid question, but what does this mean, exactly? Does it mean Nvidia support on par with that for AMD? Will this enable a release of Bazzite that supports Steam Gaming Mode for Nvidia cards?
Did they find a way to cram even more stuff into the title bar?
Aye, looks like that’s where we be heading, maytee.
The trap closes.
Finally got updated 😄👍
Logout still hangs on both X and Wayland sessions (KDE) 😫👎
I’m brand new to Fedora, having installed Bazzite myself just a few days ago. Did you happen to encounter an issue logging out of KDE? https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/cannot-shutdown-logout-on-fedora-40/119070
When I installed Bazzite on my Asus laptop I got an Armory Crate application. There seems to be something similar for MSI laptops called MControlCenter, but don’t know anything about it. Hope this gets you going in the right direction.
