Reenable the firewall with

systemctl start firewalld 

Then get the current networking zone with

firewall-cmd —get-active-zones 

It will likely be called FedoraWorkstation, if not just replace that name with whatever it is called in the following steps.

Next you should enable the ports for Moonlight, which from a quick ddg search I think this should do it:

firewall-cmd —zone=FedoraWorkstation —permanent —add-port=47998/udp

firewall-cmd —zone=FedoraWorkstation —permanent —add-port=47999/udp

firewall-cmd —zone=FedoraWorkstation —permanent —add-port=48000/udp

firewall-cmd —zone=FedoraWorkstation —permanent —add-port=47984/tcp

firewall-cmd —zone=FedoraWorkstation —permanent —add-port=47989/tcp

firewall-cmd —zone=FedoraWorkstation —permanent —add-port=48010/tcp

firewall-cmd —zone=FedoraWorkstation —permanent —add-port=47990/tcp

Then reload the firewall with:

firewall-cmd —reload

Lmk if that works

Edit: added more ports needed for the WebUI and controller support. Check the docs here if you wanna see what each port is used for

I use Graphene on my phone and DivestOS on my tablet

You’ll have just as good of an experience on either Intel or AMD. Framework is releasing a new generation of intel models in August so if you want the most cutting edge model and can wait those are a good bet. But personally I’m very happy with my current gen AMD model’s performance and efficiency so I’ll be waiting a while before another upgrade. There really aren’t any major downsides for any of the current options though, just personal preference.

I have a framework 13. Bought it with 12th gen intel mainboard, upgraded it to AMD when that came out. Also upgraded the battery, RAM, and soon the screen when the 120hz one ships. It’s super easy to get into, just five screws and then pop the trackpad/keyboard cable off. I honestly love it.

Framework has fantastic support for windows and Linux. There used to be some minor fixes needed on certain models but they’ve since resolved them and my experience on Fedora and Arch have been plug and play. On windows they have a driver install script that installs everything in one go, that’s nice too. And yes Minecraft does run on Linux, at least the Java version does. Idk about bedrock though

A lot of this information around glyphosate is pure fear mongering. Many studies by the WHO, European Food Safety Authority, and European Chemicals agency have found it to likely NOT pose any major carcinogenic risks. The IARC report is latched onto as the only major group to make that claim. Even if their findings were backed up by further studies, which they aren’t, IARC places it in their risk group 2a which contains yerba mate, red meat, and hot drinks. So make of that what you will

Worth noting that on Fedora this is true, UNLESS you use the proprietary nvidia drivers. Then no secure boot

X11 is the traditional most popular display server for Linux and other *nix systems. However it is very dated and has a lot of flaws, including endless spaghetti code that makes maintenance a nightmare, huge security holes where any application can freely scrape information from any other, and tons of bugs dating back decades. It isn’t sustainable to keep developing on X11 as a platform because it is so flawed and devs hate working on it when implementing new features or fixes.

Wayland is a modern protocol for display server/compositing tasks which seeks to directly address all of the major issues of X11. It is small and modular, with purpose driven portals and protocols written to interact with a simple core, rather than being monolithic and opaque like X11s code structure. It is security focused, with the aforementioned portals used to grant permissions to applications when needed but nothing more. Wayland has a more efficient pipeline resulting in better performance. It is overall a pleasure to work on comparatively and is a much richer, progress oriented protocol than X

Why are you hearing about it now? Because Wayland is finally mature enough to warrant almost everybody to stop using X11. There are a few features that are still not present in Wayland that should be for particular use cases, but these are exceptions nowadays. Applications are starting to prioritize Wayland compatibility, distros have overwhelmingly made the switch to it as default, and most Linux display server developers have moved away from X and onto Wayland. It seems that the transition is nearly complete but the last hurdles have certainly been creating lots of discussion

Flatpak and Snap are Linux packaging formats that have sandboxing implemented and it’s pretty solid. There’s also Firejail for running sketchy applications in a stronger sandbox

Linux also has Howdy for facial recognition/“Windows Hello”

You’re a moron or intentionally sticking your head in the sand if you really believe this. What you’re clinging to is a backronym, not original or common usage. The term “rice” or “ricer” comes from racist old American car guys who hated that Japanese cars were becoming so popular in the 70s/80s/90s, so they called them “rice burners” as a dig at their Asian roots, to compare them to a kitchen appliance to make them seem weak, and to imply poor reliability and power compared to their beloved muscle cars. It’s racist terminology through and through and always screamed of a fragile, bruised ego

I would install 11 from an official ISO, and set the region/localization in the installer to English (world). This will prevent windows from installing any apps like TikTok, instagram, Spotify etc during the initial install, and you can change it to US English localization in the settings right after setup. During the setup you can also skip using a Microsoft account by pressing shift+f10 to open command prompt, then type “oobe\bypassnro” and hit enter. It’ll restart but that restores the “I don’t have internet” setup option that lets you make a local account. Then do a KMS activation since HWID recently got patched
