This 1x7 bike has been fine for ages but I left it way too long to change the chain. So I bought a new chain and a new SRAM 7 speed cassette and swapped them over.

The derailleur is admittedly cheap (SRAM X-4) but I feel like it should be folding back on itself when using the small cog to avoid the slack chain. I've definitely sized the chain at least a link too small but as you see, it's mad slack. It was similar before I replaced the parts but not as bad.

There's also a pretty nasty grinding/friction-y noise coming from somewhere when I put power through the pedals, especially in the lower gears. On the stand it's spinning and shifting fine, even with the slack chain

Any suggestions? I probably need a more beefy SRAM MTB rear mech?

I use Bazzite in the living room, connected to the TV for gaming primarily.

KDE Connect still operates but can't be used for mouse (and possibly keyboard?) input any more. Something to do with the fedora base no longer supporting what it needs from what I've read

Is there an alternative? It was very very handy for the few occasions I need keyboard and mouse

When I use KDE connect on my android phone, I cannot type uppercase characters. When I shift to uppercase on the phone, I can send the character to the PC, but it will be lowercase there.

Context, I am using Bazzite on AMD with GeForce through a 4k TV, so console style set up.

So I tried using the steam in game keyboard instead but have two further issues there:

1. The in game overlay UI scale is tiny compared to how big picture looks when not playing a game. Pre launch everything is a nice size for a 43" display, but in game all the UI is tiny

2. The in game keyboard won't actually input any text in the game - I'm triggering this via the new steam controller for what it's worth (steam button and x)

Any suggestions?

I realise that my keyboard has some dodgy keys when I tried to use my administrator password, so I don't actually know for sure what it is 😬

A significant mistake! Luckily there's no real setup issues or anything and I'm happy to reinstall - the only thing on there is my steam downloads which will take ages to download again

Is there a way I can save those files and reinstall bazzite from my original thumb drive installer so that I can fix my mistake this time?

I installed bazzite to replace windows 10 and really liking it so far. I haven't experienced anything major issues wise, and it's working nice with my rtx 2070 for everything I've tried in Steam so far.

The only issue I have now is per the title. I have the PC connected via HDMI to an AV receiver and then to the TV. If I boot the PC without the TV on and input set to PC, the display doesn't trigger when I switch to it afterwards, even if I wiggle the mouse or whatever. It only works if the monitor is ready and waiting before I boot.

Any clues? I am very new to Linux, haven't used it in ages and then not intensively.

I'm looking for some advice, recently my pixel 6a and a pixel 8a both have the same annoying behaviour, periodically the three bottom buttons stop working or lag to an extreme degree, so the back button, home button and app switcher.

I suspect it's related to 3rd party launchers, I use Action Launcher but was able to replicate it on Lawnchair as well.

I've currently got the default Pixel/Nexus launcher selected as a test (I hate it), so far it seems to be immune from this issue. Are 3rd party launchers all suffering from the same issue? Anything I can do?

EDIT: Thankfully the pixel launcher also started doing this eventually so I can happily switch back to action launcher while I choose a new phone!

If you think the fairphone 6 is a silly choice, please persuade me otherwise as that's what I'm currently thinking, with a view to a 5 year+ phone

I'm visiting Rotterdam next week and usually when I'm there I catch the formula 1 at Panenka. Devastated to hear it is closed! Nicest sports bar I've ever been in. Is there anywhere similar in the city to watch F1 on the big screen with drinks, with a nice atmosphere? Or in Utrecht maybe?

EDIT > we went to paddy's near the WTC and it was really a lot nicer than I expected, just in case anyone arrives on this post in the future

Please forgive the annoying asking for info post

I have 100Gb of stuff on Google drive and I want to move it in house, I guess via Nextcloud? At the same time I want to try things like self hosting Notesnook and a few other things like ad blocking the home network etc

I was going to try starting with a raspberry pi 5 with 8Gb of ram and an SSD and some form of Linux obvs but in my limited reading I've seen that's very not recommended for Nextcloud.

Key things are low power usage/quiet, I'm not THAT fussed about download speed to other devices but keen to avoid as much lock in as possible. Budget around £200-300 to start with.

I've seen recommendations for thin clients, kinda like the idea of a NUC but they're pricy for the form factor. Having it be small would be a plus but I do have an old windows 8 machine from 2013 in the cupboard in an ATX case but the power supply draw feels like it would be excessive

Hints appreciated or tell me which community to go check, thanks in advance

EDIT: Thanks for all the hints!
