I really like Fedora, but there's... issues. Always seems like something. My laptop's integrated nic doesn't work great (I get inconsistent speeds) and the solution is "buy a USB adapter." Two-finger scroll stopped working yesterday until reboot.
Minor, but feels like there's always a problem.

Yeah, the rules stuff may have been me even - I ate a silent ban for essentially asking what was going on with the site, and those magically updated shortly afterward.

I replied to that one guy that posted your patch in the Splatterworld thread to voice how disrespectful his actions were, and my post was kept in limbo so it never went public since I'm a new account there.
I decided to check again today and see if it ever went live, and they quietly deleted it...

This has apparently already happened to several people I chat with on discord, including at least one other prominent romhacker. Stay classy!
NightCralwer has also been trying to hide the fact he's the one doing it, creating a new site account (complete with "Jr Member" rank, lol) to post new "forum rules"
of course, any mention of what he's doing is grounds for an immediate, silent, ban

So, uh, between it bugging you for updates and this forum.filezilla-project.org/viewtopic.ph... I'm absolutely sick to death of filezilla's garbage. Any recommendations for a replacement that works well on fedora kde plasma?

So, uh, linux folks? I have a mesh network in my home, base + one satellite, and my nic (qualcomm qcnfa765, which is soldered onto my motherboard) keeps bouncing between the two every few seconds. This is me attempting to download a file with transfer speeds measured over a period of about 1 minute.

Hey, anyone with Wayland/Dolphin experience, I'm unable to drag-and-drop files onto executables in Dolphin. Anyone know how to fix this?
Example: Can't drop splatterworld.nes onto 010editor (Executable)

Stream tonight is unlikely - migrating to linux (Fedora KDE Plasma) and still have some things in the system that need to be worked out. Like sound. (Sound works, just not through the displaylink dock I have...)
