Yeah. Scrolling(amount of scroll per turn of the scroll wheel/swipe on touchpad) has been intentionally slowed down. Another issue is when you scroll fast, the scrolling is stuttery because papers tries to render on the fly when scrolling. There is an open issue to discuss whether this should be the behaviour or not.

But don't worry too much. It was much slower a month ago and yet progress is being made at a great pace and hence I expect it to get better in the near future. Pablo Correa Gomez(the lead dev of Papers) is doing some great work.

Sentau ,

Oh ok. Are these changes tailored towards making touchscreen usage better¿?

That was an incredibly poised and informative response by Carlos. Thanks for linking it. Cheers

Sentau ,

The animations and performance are already very smooth. In fact I feel the performance is better than what you get with windows and the animations are smoother as well

Hmm. Maybe gnome is not correctly using hardware acceleration in your machine¿? In my experience, gnome is perhaps the smoothest DE though it is heavier in resource usage than XFCE, MATE, etc. It does stutter and drop frames when the system is seeing very heavy resource usage.

Edit : when I am using the powersaver settings given by power-profiles-daemon, gnome does stutter a little. This corresponds to amd-pstate being active with the scaling governor set to powersave and the energy vs performance hint set to save power.

Sentau OP ,

I am on a immutable version of fedora(ublue-main) to be precise. Will the appimages work normally¿? I haven't tried running an appimage since moving to using immutable distros

Sentau OP ,

Thanks I will look into it.

Testing if VRR is active and working

I recently updated to fedora 40 and enabled the experimental setting to get VRR running. But I am an idiot who has been playing at frames rates between 30-60 on screens without VRR for almost all of my life so I can't even know if VRR is actually working or not. Is there some rest I can run to see if VRR is functional¿? If not,...

Sentau OP ,

I am on ublue which is immutable. Do appimages work normally on immutable distros¿?

Sentau OP ,

Sorry I should have mentioned that this is the integrated screen of a laptop

Sentau OP ,

Thanks I will try it then

Sentau ,

TW also has the issue of having 'controversial' software like the media codecs, etc not being included OOTB due to licensing concerns.

Sentau ,

Well @Guenther_Amanita suggested bazzite as it is the image built for gamers and OP is asking about nobara which is also packaged specifically for gamers. In general though all the ublue images are great

Repairing bad sectors in an external drive

So I have this external 2.5" drive salvaged from an old laptop of mine. I was trying to use it to backup/store data but the transfer to the drive fails repeatedly at the ~290GB mark leading me to believe that maybe there is a bad sector on the drive. I tried to inspect the drive using smartmontools and smartctl but since it is...

Sentau OP ,

I think there is misunderstanding because of my phrasing. i dont want to recover data from the drive. Instead i want to repair the drive to use for low priority external storage.
