Ah, it wasn't my comment, I don't have opinions on that. I just wanted to bitch about the idea of opinions being inherently correct

in which universe 75+25=110
My bad, I meant the 75+35=100 thing, which is a common mistake people make when doing brain math. Just imagine I said 35 in the thread.
Back to the topic. "Who decides..." I clearly said some opinions are neither right nor wrong, if something is subjective, it by definition is neither right nor wrong. "No law to force/prohibit" I also specifically said you are entitled to have wrong opinions, so we can ignore the entire "forcing/prohibiting" conundrum.
Next paragraph. "... These are facts that can be true or wrong" exactly, and when I say "in my opinion
<fact>
is true" this is also a fact (a true one) in which I say "<fact>
is true" is my opinion, but if "<fact>
" is actually false, this is a wrong opinion that I shouldn't have.An opinion is a fact you believe is true. But some facts are false and it's wrong to believe they are true. "Your opinion is wrong" does not mean that "it's false that you have that opinion". Not every opinion can be just wrong or right, as I said multiple times.
"I think we should ..." is not an opinion, it is a factual statement about an opinion ("we should...) which you have, and thus it's either true or false depending on whether you have that opinion ("it's true that you think ...") or not ("it's not true that you think").
An opinion might be right or wrong if it's an opinion you should or should not have, some of course are neither because not everything in life is just yes or no. Opinions about facts that are false or facts that are true are easily categorized as wrong and right opinions.
"75+25=110" is an example of a true statement and thus a right opinion to have. "We should change 75+25 to be 100" is a false statement and thus an opinion that you shouldn't have. "Pirandello is better than D'Annunzio" is neither true nor false, but you can still think that and hold it as an opinion, like I do, "I think Pirandello ..." is a true statement about my opinion.
In my opinion you are entitled to hold an opinion regardless whether it's true or wrong or neither.
Abaci and mechanical differentiators did the job just fine for a couple centuries.
Well, opinions can be wrong. When someone says an opinion is wrong they don't mean that it's not true that you have that opinion, but rather that it's an opinion you should not have.
And some opinions like any other ideas are just wrong. You are entitled to have them, just as much as you are entitled to be wrong, it doesn't change the fact that it's wrong.
For example "we should change math so that 25+75=100" is an example of a wrong opinion.
Celluloid does much less than vlc, why not just using mpv (which celluloid uses as backend) so you have a full player

Lenovo might have intentionally reduced the performance in Windows by default to enhance battery life, because it is a gaming laptop they probably have a lot of performance options in the vendor's control center to sacrifice battery life for performance, are you sure you activated every performance option?
Also mesa drivers often have better performance than Radeon official drivers, but they are less consistent (more stuttering).
Probably, if everything else is correct. GPU passthrough hands over an entire GPU to the virtual machine, so the only way of getting the output of that vm is plugging a monitor in that GPU
I haven't looked into how to configure this but it should be possible, and you would use the motherboard HDMI port for the VM, and the ports on the dGPU for the host. As usual, the arch wiki is your friend, even if you are not using arch
But... If you don't care about VM performance (seeing as you are passing the iGPU to it) you should look into other options like virtio or sr-iov, so you don't need to fiddle with the HDMI ports. Please notice that virtio is paravirtualized and only works well for Linux guests, and sr-iov is real hardware virtualization and requires hardware support. Both these methods require only one GPU. Once again, look at the arch wiki and the qemu wiki.
Also, if you are using Linux guests, you should really look into "GPU native context" which is a paravirtualization method that works similarly to Hyper-V's GPU paravirtualization (which is currently the best) and would allow almost native performance for the VM, without requiring multiple GPUs. It is not available for amdgpu yet, but you can follow development here.
P.s. if you are using windows hosts, paravirtualization methods will not be satisfactory for the foreseeable future. You will need either passthrough (like you suggested) or full virtualization (with sr-iov). I can give you more details if you like.
Now, that's some nice breast
I have a bad feeling about the original image...

GNOME tries to set a high standard of polishedness, look-and-feel, and simplicity of design. This is not wrong and makes GNOME good looking and easy to use for a less savvy user. But this has some drawbacks.
For a more savvy user that knows what he wants to do, the simplistic interface gets in the way and wastes time. In contrast KDE Will hold your hand less, and get less in your way. Though, when you drop these requirements GNOME becomes very pleasant to use, especially on laptops, which is why I use it on my laptop.
Another drawback is that GNOME developers will not ship something that doesn't fig their standards of usability. This adds to the polishing, but it means you will miss out on features, for reasons like "the options in the settings would be confusing for the users" until they are satisfied. E.G.: fractional scaling and vrr. On the other hand, KDE Will ship things that are less polished, but at least you have it.
Also some applications will work suboptimally on GNOME with Wayland, because of client side decorations.
Hi, I'm hijacking this thread to answer your other questions. Xpadneo is the correct answer, it will work with any desktop environment (xorg or Wayland) and all reasonable distros. It's also the driver used by the steam deck, so go with that. But I suggest you read the troubleshooting section for two things: fixing input latency (if you experience it) and secure boot (more on that later).
I use both KDE and GNOME (on different computers, for different reasons), but in general I suggest you use KDE.
Now I will explain secure boot:
You can use third party drivers with secure boot on any distro that supports secure boot. Here's how it works. Secure boot means that the bios checks that the kernel and requires that the kernel checks that all kernel drivers are signed with a key that it recognizes.
Now, either using a second bootloader (like redhat's shim) signed by Microsoft, or either directly getting Microsoft's signature, you get secure boot support on distros like Fedora or Ubuntu. So your kernel and all your included drivers are signed by Fedora with a key they got from Microsoft.
Other drivers (like Nvidia's and this) aren't signed, so secure boot will not accept those. But, secure but supports MOKs (machine owner keys), which are keys for signing drivers that you manage yourself and you installed on your bios, and secure boot will accept drivers signed with those.
Now, external drivers can be installed using two systems: akmod (used mostly by Fedora and redhat derivatives) and dkms (used by anyone else). These two are not in conflict and will work on the same system at the same time, it's just preference. The Nvidia drivers you installed used akmod, xpadneo uses dkms.
Both these systems support setting up a key for signing, you should then register that key on your bios. When you installed your Nvidia drivers a little interface made by Fedora for those drivers helped you to set up your key for akmods, and now you can use any akmod driver with secure boot. You could always do it manually and you can do it on any distro, Fedora just adds the graphical interface.
To use xpadneo you need to do basically the same thing but for dkms, and you need to do it manually, it's very easy, the troubleshooting section should direct you here for instructions, you will recognize some of the steps of registering the key.
If you feel a little adventurous, you can find which key akmod uses, and set dkms to use the same, so you don't need to register another one.
Also, I strongly discourage this, but you can technically remove Microsoft's key and sign everything with your own key if you really hate Microsoft. Please please please don't do it, you will screw up and break your system badly, and it's also a lot of work. Places like datacenters and such do this. Because they want total control on what goes on those machines. Also they don't sign stuff on the machine themselves, but they sign on a more secure one and then deploy the signed stuff.
They die. Full stop.
Not even Microsoft had the strength to maintain a browser engine, that's why they moved Edge to Chromium, they gave up.
