I can guarantee you that logging output at the INFO level (what you see at boot) is not enough to degrade your system performance enough in any perceivable way to you. That amount of logging is considered quite light, and is normal. Now, if you happen to turn everything up to DEBUG, then you might see a huge uptick in I/O, and perceivable slowness.
Also, you may be confused about how logging facilities work. What you’ve done is disabled the printed messages during boot, nothing. That doesn’t reduce the level of effort your system needs to boot. You’re mistaken.
With support ending for Windows 10, the most popular desktop operating system in the world currently, possibly 240 million pcs may be sent to the landfill. This is mostly due to Windows 11’s exorbitant requirements. This will most likely result in many pcs being immediately outdated, and prone to viruses. GNU/Linux may be...

I’m not sure what the question here is. Are you wondering which level of suspension you want your laptop to go into when you close the lid?
You should understand ACPI sleep states when trying to setup whatever active states you want your machine to be in when you close the lid, because there is a chain of events that happen when you do so. Your machine may only support one, or a few states (s0-s3) that may not allow this. The first step is above, and the second is understanding what state your machine is being put into once you close that lid, so start there with Mint configuration and how it’s dealing with the lid closing.

This particular folder caches many things from various package managers. Won’t hurt to clear, but will fill up again. Maybe consider not using caches when engaging such things.
If multiple distributions are having the same issue, that means it’s a combo driver and pipe wire issue. A lot of newer laptops have terrible speakers that are paired with Nahimic in Windows to sound a bit less shitty, then have the gain jerked up to insane levels.
If you’re 100% sure this about speakers missing, you need to get a newer kernel running and see if they get detected, and if not, start tracking the devices through dmesg and ls* device utils to find where it’s at. You wouldn’t be the only one having this issue if it’s what you think it is.
Hi! I’m seeking some advice and sanity check on hopping from Ubuntu to Fedora on my personal PC. I’ve been using Ubuntu LTS for almost two years now, switched from Windows and never looked back.

I just had the time with it, honestly. So many things are broken, like spelling and dictionary integration. I know the dev is reworking some things, but even the last release doesn’t work very well. Respects privacy, sure. Works well, naw.
Want to lay down a few of those reasons? Hard to tell with all the marketing hype WHAT exactly this distro is unique for, and why people should bother trying.
My gut here is saying you have a mismatched combo of how Coreboot is treating these, and how they are written. From what I’m reading, Coreboot should support Legacy, UEFI, or SeaBIOS, so go set that in the BIOS setup, then make absolutely sure your disks are being written as such (NOT mbr). Ventoy should be the tool to use here for testing different distros out, so good on finding that.
www.omgubuntu.co.uk has some decent new and app update news here and there, and other generalized release news for various other distros aside from Ubuntu.
I’m honestly just now hearing of it. Sounds cool, but I feel like I’d only use it once every 6 months just to see if it still works on specific things. Will keep an eye on it.
I know the question is rather awkward at first and I am possibly overlooking something, but I would like to know something I really don’t understand....
Listen to the internet stations that are local to you, and have actual programmers daily. Some of the bigger ones in the US are KCRW, KEXP, WFMU, and any college radio station. Places that have guest bands come through and play a bit so you can hear how it sounds outside of a studio are the best in my opinion.
Edit: For those who stumble across this with the same issue, I eventually got it working by adding “default-runtime”: “nvidia”, to /etc/docker/daemon.json then restarting the docker service and Jellyfin container....
If you’re just running a simple media server, you don’t need the bleeding edge Nvidia driver. Just install the packages that come with Ubuntu. If you’re not used to Linux in general, here are the easiest steps to do so: phoenixnap.com/kb/install-nvidia-drivers-ubuntu
