    Fedora 32-bit Libraries

    You might have seen some news regarding Fedora wanting to drop 32-bit libraries in the distant future. This is no longer the case as the proposal has been rescinded without a vote.

    That’s good news I hadn’t heard yet. I also noticed the bazaar suddenly appeared yesterday. Now I know why.

      i was verrry confused why the app store was still in my hotbar and still “runnable” threw me into a wild rabbithole trying to figure out how to get it working again.

      Without this post i dont think i would’ve realized the tunnel vision i had not realizing there was a completely replaced app for it since i didnt see any notice in the OS >.< Feels like something big enough to warrant a notice for at least some of the users like me who are just oblivious to things that are too obvious when not knowing what were shpposed to look for.

    Did they fix the horrible performance of Firefox based browsers? That was deal breaker for me. YouTube videos would lag and stutter for 1-2 seconds before playing. Smooth as butter on chrome based browsers. I don’t want to rely on chrome based browsers.

      have been using bazzite for a while now and don’t have issues with Firefox, could be tests Google are running. they recently are targeting users of adblockers and artificially setting high load times in hopes users disable them. a decent alternative is freetube (on flathub) which is anonymous so you can’t login but you can import playlists and includes ad+sponsor block. they’re pretty fast at fixing Google’s attempts to break it too, sometimes you might have to change instances to get it working.

        This feels more like a codecs issue tbh. Not a bandwidth problem. It’s more hardware lag if that makes sense.

      I personally wouldn’t describe it as horrible, but it is good to hear someone else seeing problems with video playback on YT. Just curious though, did you have any add-ons? I do and I need to compare playback without them. Hrmm

        I did clean installs no addons of zen and librewolf and all of them had the same laggy stutter the first 1-2 seconds a video loads.

      I recommend some variant of the h264ify plugin if you’re having weird video issues with firefox based browsers.

      There’s some nonsense going on with some of the codecs Youtube uses + FF… YT used to let you more manually set your codec preferences, now they don’t, but the h264ify plugins basically allow you to set those prefs yourself, and by default just disallow the problematic ones.
