I recently installed VMware Workstation on Fedora 41 KDE. Browsing Broadcom's website to find the download link was one of the most abysmal life experiences I have ever had. So, at the end, I went to the AUR and got the link from the PKGBUILD there. I installed it by running the executable as root. I didn't have any issues with the modules since the Workstation automatically offers to install required kernel modules upon launch if they are not present. Only manual intervention I had to do was to disable Secure Boot from BIOS since MSI likes to enable it each time I update it's firmware.

"Man in the middle". They are used by a lot of web services as a proxy, usually to prevent DDOS attacks.

That's a great build, OP! I got nearly the same system running Fedora KDE, at least architecture wise.

I recommend getting an SN850x for your SSD instead. It is not much more expensive but so much faster. Everything I do on my system is super snappy. I even got a close friend also to buy this one and they are super happy as well.

I recently discovered Filen and all their clients are open-source. It claims to encrypt all files before uploading and I did notice my CPU usage ramp up quite a lot during it. Though, I currently lack the time and expertise to audit their code.

Are those holes or just dots? Kinda creepy

You definitely should. I am running Fedora 41 with KDE Plasma and I don't miss anything running the Wayland session. I am using it for all my gaming, university home assignments in a Windows VM, playing with local LLMs, content creation and programming. In fact, Fedora had Wayland enabled by default for nearly a decade.

Wayland doesn't require specialized hardware though. How is it obsolescence?

Deprecation of X11, currently, only affects cutting/bleeding-edge distributions and will, hopefully, push app developers to target Wayland properly.

Those who strictly require features of X11 can continue using desktop environments running on it. It is not like deprecation of X11 in GTK5 will suddenly make all apps using other toolkits require Wayland.

Keep in mind that 1060 will give you a lot of headache for games using DirectX 12. If you can, get an RTX 20 series or GTX 16 series card, or dual boot with Windows.

I am not sure. It has been like this for over a month.
