Linux - Lemmy.World

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short). Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy. ### Rules * Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel.

Hi, I’ve been having issues with my network adapter on Bazzite OS. Both WIFI and Bluetooth do not work, and the the utility nmcli device confirms this. I used lspci to find my network controller, which is a `MEDIATEK Corp. MT7922 802.11ax PCI Express Wireless Network Adapter. I’m unsure how to proceed further. Thanks.

    I think you want to rebase to silverblue/kinoite can confirm this still happens. https://fedoramagazine.org/how-to-rebase-to-fedora-linux-39-on-silverblue/ It only take one command and one reboot, it is guaranteed to not break your system.

    If not, you want to file a bug with Bazzite. Either way, you will need to get a dongle or find a new distro if you want to make things work right now. I think for beginners, fedora workstation, nobara, and pop_os could be good for gaming. nobara has most of the gaming stuff pre-installed, if you are into that.

    I am not surprised Bazzit would break some hardware, since their image is heavily modified, and probably should be a distro, not a image.

    Personally, I don’t feel like atomic (immutable) distro is a great “first linux experience” yet, I have encountered several bugs with rpm-ostree, and there are not as much resources online. But I think it could be a great choice for your second/third distro-hops, when people are comfortable debugging and administrating their own systems.
