I mean, technically you can install a disc drive onto your computer if you want.

I've already tried PEAP (didn't work), but I swear Linux Lite had a security option for EAP (which did work).

EDIT: Turns out my login information was slightly wrong, and had nothing to do with security.

My school uses EAP for its student WiFi, but there's no option for "EAP" security (PEAP, LEAP and every other option in KDE's WiFi security settings wouldn't connect). I'm pretty sure there was an option for EAP on Linux Lite (my previous OS before kinoite) which connected successfully. Is it possible to use EAP in Kinoite, and how do I enable/use it?

Yea, had to live-boot and figure out where Fedora stores the root filesystem so I could chroot in and uninstall the drivers from there.

Some laptops come in different configurations so looking up specs may be confusing or misleading.

Turns out it really is, huh.

The command inxi -G should list display drivers.

inxi only seems to see the integrated graphics, weird. I'm starting to doubt that her laptop even has a discrete Nvidia card inside...

I followed the manual and it softborked her install :(

~~So it does! First time seeing a laptop with nvidia graphics, neat.~~

Edit: is the Dell website wrong? Her laptop doesn't seem to have anything Nvidia inside it.

~~Huh, TIL to look up the specs of your laptop when troubleshooting.~~

Edit: apparently there's no Nvidia card inside her laptop, despite the fact that Dell says it should.

SOLUTION: Apparently there's some sort of bug in xwayland that causes Steam games to flicker, so "downgrading" to X11 solved it (for now). Now all I need to know is how to file a bug report for this.


I'm trying to set up a Linux install for my mom (Ultramarine KDE on Wayland), and all her (2) Steam games are flickering. I thought it was from fractional scaling, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Her games don't flicker on Windows, and I've already tried multiple versions of Proton. I'm not quite sure what's happening, and any help would be appreciated.

Specs

  • OS: Ultramarine Linux KDE Edition
  • Host: Dell Inspiron 15 3511
  • CPU: Intel Core i5-1035G1
  • GPU: ~~pretty sure it uses integrated graphics~~ ~~apparently it uses Nvidia? First time I've seen that, gonna have to remember that in the future.~~ Both Linux and Windows are using integrated graphics with no sign of Nvidia anywhere??

If you need any more information, please ask me

Edit: other than the flickering, her games run perfectly fine.

Edit 2: Just learned my mom's laptop model has a discrete Nvidia GPU, gonna troubleshoot that in a bit.

Edit 3: Her laptop doesn't seem to have anything Nvidia inside, despite the fact that the Dell website says her laptop should, weird...
