Hi, I want to install Linux along side Win 10. by whats_all_this_then in c/linux@lemmy.ml

If you ever try dual booting again, just wanted to say it works much better if you have linux and windows on separate drives because windows gets to do whatever it wants on its own bootloader while linux handles everything else including switching to windows. Familiar with acer nitro laptops myself and 1050ti with i7 I assume means it's the older model with the hdd bay you can get to without disassembling. Should be simple enough to plop a 500GB SATA SSD in there for windows if you don't have one already.

P.S. be very careful with the hinges on that laptop bc it ain't fun when they break

Instructions

Edit /etc/bluetooth/main.conf (sudo required), go to the line that says #FastConnectable = false and replace it with FastConnectable = true.

My distro: Fedora 42

If this was common knowledge then I guess I'm just an idiot but I recently found out about this after years of trying to fix it on and off across multiple devices and complaining the whole time that "linux bluetooth sucks" and it has fixed 99% of my problems. My biggest issue was my keyboard refusing to reconnect after it goes to sleep when the same behavior works fine on ~~spyware~~ windows. Quick change, restart the bluetooth service, and it works exactly like you'd expect now. Why it's off by default on a relatively modern wireless chip is beyond me (I suspect power saving on older chips but idk).

If by D2 you mean Destiny 2, then I recommend making the switch so you CAN'T play D2. As a former addict myself, I can tell you it doesn't have control your life. I know it doesn't seem like it now but there is a way out if you're open to it.

Sending thoughts and prayers ❤️

"I refuse to work in defense. I'd rather my work wasn't used to blow anyone up" is a line I've used in multiple job interviews. I like to think the hell I end up going to at least has chilly weather and/or really good AC.

I love how it's the people who know the most about how modern tech works that want nothing to do with 90% of it.

Steam isn't perfect and I sure as shit won't be the one defending a corporation, and this isn't a good excuse at ALL, but if you've never gamed you wouldn't believe how much worse it is on the other side (GOG being the only exception).

Global clipboard is chef's kiss. Back when I was on Ubuntu/Gnome, I had to install CopyQ but having one come with the OS is great
