When I can’t sleep, I turn around and sleep “upside down” - moving my pillows to where my feet were beforehand, and my feet to where my head was beforehand - and I stick with that for a week or so. It gives me a week or so without insomnia and then wears off, so I have to turn myself back around for the next 7-12 day period.
Admittedly this could just be a me thing, but let’s put our faith in this method and let the power of placebo effect take hold. Boom, minor bouts of sleeplessness are cured.
What are your own examples of this?
Ubuntu and its derivatives are very slow with updates because they’re more focussed on stability. Because of this, your graphics drivers are likely wildly out of date. And if you’re using an Nvidia GPU, you’re better off going with a distro that has the graphics drivers built in.
I recommended going for a distro based on Fedora like Bazzite or Nobara. Fedora only lags a couple weeks behind updates for testing and QA, unlike the months/years you get on Ubuntu. Plus the 2 distros I mentioned have built-in Nvidia graphics drivers
I’m running an AMD GPU (9070XT) specifically because I knew it was meant to work nicer with Linux than my 1080 did.
I might give some other distros a try when I’ve got the time. It’s a shame, I really liked kubuntu. (I know I can configure most distros to do the things I liked about kubuntu but I’m not the most knowledgeable when it comes to that kind of thing.)
Running a 9070xt on cachyOS, works great
If memory serves you basically need the kernel release and stuff from like, December 2025? Somebody can correct me if that’s inaccurate.
Yeah, the newer card likely doesn’t have drivers added to the kernel version that Kubuntu uses yet
If it helps, Bazzite and Nobara have options to install with KDE Plasma included
