Whenever you source a file on the terminal, it only applies to the terminal session. No matter what file it is.

The same behavior happens for me in a different file browser (Nemo) and a different Desktop (Cinnamon). So I’m pretty confident, it is no isolated KDE issue.

That is definitely an annoyance. But the cause is not your file browser or KDE. The webdav has been mounted to the system and when an application tries to use it, it runs into a timeout. You can’t even unmount it, since that requires the system to talk to the network drive.

This is also not limited to webdav, it happens with all kinds of network drives. This is something that needs to be addressed at the core level of Linux. But I have no expertise, so no real clue where exactly.

So 93% of the Linux users use English steam.

No, 82% of the Linux users use English as UI Language. Less than 3% use Chinese.

Yes, it is the same purpose, kinda. But timeshift runs as a cron and allows for an easy rollback, while I use BIT for manual backups.

No it wasn’t. Naughty Dog announced it would run on the SD, but it wasn’t. It got verified only on June 13th. Just have a look on the history: https://steamdb.info/app/1888930/history/?filterkey=530

I use Back In Time to backup my important data on an external drive. And for snapshots I use timeshift.

I agree.

At the moment, the Ally makes news about their bad build quality. I’m curious for how long the hype about that device will last, the Steam Deck still holds up so far.

I’ve never had that issue that deleted ISOs would stay on the USB, not sure how you’ve managed to achieve that. Maybe you didn’t actually delete the files but put them to the recycle bin?

That was not Linux Mint but Pop! OS.

but I have used the video encode hardware on AMD cards via VAAPI and it was competent and much faster than x264/x265 on the CPU.

Yes, it’s faster than the CPU, which is no surprise, but the quality is incredibly worse than NVENC. I switched to AMD earlier this year and I knew that the AMD video encoder wouldn’t match NVENC, but the difference is much bigger than I’ve ever thought.
