It certainly sounds like an issue with that slot. Did you check if all pins look okay?

I had the same issue with Fedora 39. After upgrading, I noticed the option to not suspend with lid closed missing in Tweaks. I did a good search and someone suggested editing a config file. I got it to work but I didn’t document it.
If I find it, I’ll update, but I suggest you googling it like I did. Or someone here may have already posted the right file to edit.
I found this annoying, and not sure if the missing setting is intentional or not.
There’s definitely a want for this from the community:
First thing I would do is look at the client list (or DHCP list) to see if there’re any devices that have connected you don’t recognize.
2nd, change your wifi passphrase and reconnect only your known devices.
If your router has detailed logging as a feature, enable it so you can see which client is the most chatty going forward, and check next month to see if traffic died down. If not, check the logs to see which client was responsible.
Buy from reputable brands, make sure they supply the full wattage to a single USB-C port if it has multiple ports.
If they fail, it may just be a defective unit. Hopefully if you exchange it, the second will be good.
Batch 5 here, sista. 🫂
Waiting for FW16 news here. 😮💨
Yes. All of the FW laptop models can play Stardew Valley.
Here’s one way: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/installing-windows-to-an-external-drive-literally/c5f46404-acfa-4a9e-845e-39b4a1889553
Another would be installing the external drive internally first, installing it, then shut down before the first boot (before it enters the OOBE), then pulling the drive out and put it back into it’s external enclosure.
Another would be to use DISM to apply the install.wim image onto an external drive.
Please read up on how to use DISM and how WIM images work. It’ll give you a better understanding of how windows installation and imaging work so you can manipulate it in very interesting ways.
Socketed mobile CPUs aren’t a thing for the past couple generations. The last one I remembered was the Core 2 series. So an upgrade now is a big jump, especially if you go for something with DDR5 memory.
Framework is going to be your best bet if you’re looking for an upgradable platform. The CPU is not socketed but they have provided 3 generations of Intel CPUs on replaceable motherboards already since their inception, as well as an AMD version. Their 16 inch will be a new form factor and platform but based on their track record so far, I expect them to support this form factor for a while as well.
I remember playing Intelligent Qube like crazy on my PIII laptop on a PSX emulator. It’s actually addicting. If you go that route, the whole world of old school gaming is available to you. But Intelligent Qube was easy to play on a keyboard.
It should work. That’s how docking stations without MST hub works. DP stream and PD power.
Both are solid choices. The memory is especially good because of CL40 is the lowest latency for 5600 MT by JEDEC standard.
Is it just the matte screen that does that? Does the glossy screen do that too?
I wouldn’t recommend installing multiple DEs yet for a beginner.
I agree with both statements! Ventoy is amazing for distro hopping between Live USBs! And Fedora has a nice vanilla implementation of Gnome as well as being a rolling release, has the latest kernel to support the latest hardware such as what’s on the FW13.
Coming from Windows, you have to forget most of what you’ve learned when coming into Linux otherwise you may hamper yourself. Volumes are not represented as drive letters, for example. The commands you’ve learned for command prompt or PowerShell don’t all translate to the bash terminal. The paradigm is different. It’s like learning a new language.
As long as you’re willing to “let old things go” you’ll have an easier time learning. There are some things that you can connect an equivalent to in Windows once you start getting into Linux, but don’t try to do that at the beginning.
That said, I suggest finding out which Desktop Environment you like first. Every distro has their own default desktop environment, and some are modified/custom version of an already established desktop environment.
I personally love Gnome because it’s simple. It has less options presenting themselves which makes it easier to learn and get your head around. It’s different enough from Windows that you don’t try to use it like Windows subconsciously.
KDE Plasma has a lot of options and customization settings but I felt overwhelmed when I tried it. It looks reminiscent of Windows which lulled me into a false sense of familiarity. I personally don’t think it’s a great place to start if you’re coming from Windows mostly because of that.
There are many other desktop environments so I suggest trying different distros out. You don’t need to install most of them since they typically have Live USB available to try without installing (boot into USB and play with it). Once you find something that you like, you can install it.
If you decide to go dual boot so you have Windows (for gaming for example), I suggest installing each OS into their own separate SSDs. If you’re using a FW13, then you don’t have that choice (but you can probably install Linux into one of those USB expansion cards or an external USB flash drive if you’re still not fully committed but still want a Linux OS that’s not read-only like a Live USB).
You can’t do the opposite (Windows on USB) because it is not allowed unless you trick it (search for Windows Go).
If you don’t game and don’t need Windows to be installed on bare metal, you can also install Linux on the internal SSD and run Windows in a virtual machine. This way you can fully commit to Linux while only booting Windows in a VM for those rare moments you need it.
Also most single player games work in Linux so if you’re not playing something that requires Windows for DRM (like the Call of Duty series), you should be good with Linux as the main OS on bare metal.
Already having a candlelight dinner with it. I see it’s a keeper!
Nice! The 64 GB kit is still expensive though. So glad I got my 64GB GSkill 5600 kit just before the Prime Day sale when it was $175.
Amazon seems to raise prices before their.big advertised sales just to bring it back down a bit to make it seem like a good deal
The 8bitdo M30 controller went for $18 before Black Friday sale. It went back up to $30 JUST before Black Friday but you get a 5% off coupon. Thanks Amazon. /s
Same issue, found this thread. Added new drive, set to auto-mount via Disks app. Also on RPM version of Steam. Exact same message when I try to add new drive to Storage in Steam. Except the only difference is the drive is formatted in ext4.
So what is causing Steam to not see the drive when it’s already in ext4 (not FAT)?
