It's intentionally an odd number so votes don't end in ties. And it's a small number because nominations and appointments can take a long time due to political BS.

Sort of? I'm sure Congress could change it. They likely won't because their members are almost entirely from the two major parties. But IIRC there was brief talk of changes when Republicans blocked the nomination of Gigi Sohn.

This is the FCC = Federal Communications Commission. I don't know the origins but as long as I've been aware they've been a 5-member panel; 3 commissioners from the president's party and 2 from the opposing party. They're supported by hundreds of staff members.

FTC = Federal Trade Commission, a completely separate body. They recently made headlines for banning non-compete agreements.

Oof, yep, that's all it was. I just fired up Elden Ring and it runs great under X11. Thanks a million!

I'd heard Wayland and Nvidia don't play nicely together, but forgot KDE had officially made the switch. I'm sure I approved the install a while back but probably assumed it was all stable and compatible now. Guess that's what I get for not reading the release notes!

Install Linux From Scratch (LFS). Then you can give it your own flavor instead of someone else's.

This looks super helpful, thanks!

I'm a little nervous about swapping entirely over to nouveau for testing (well, moreso switching back) but I'm sure I can find a guide.

Update: No need, the problem was just Wayland vs X11.

Thanks, I'll try that. I figured an update would fix it by now (it's been a few weeks) but maybe I do need to roll back.

And yes my other machine has an AMD card. This will be my last one from Nvidia since I've fully switched to Linux.

I'm running Endeavour OS (KDE Plasma) and ran into a weird issue with my graphics. It's like windows sometimes flicker and flight with each other, some fullscreen videos won't play and just lock to a gray screen instead (e.g. in Steam, though YouTube is oddly fine), and most 3D games are super choppy and unplayable.

I'm not asking how to fix this, I just want to know how I start troubleshooting! I haven't done anything special with my system, and I think the issue started after a normal pacman update. My GPU is a GeForce GTX 1060.

Any suggestions to get started? I don't even know if the issue is Nvidia drivers, X, window manager, KDE, etc.

EDIT: The problem was Wayland. Fixed by logging in with X11 instead!

Pull down the shade at the top where it has your location and a basic 2-day forecast. Then if you scroll down you can see an hourly as well as a detailed 10-day forecast.

Heh. People still act like the Bible authors invented the global flood myth, as if that idea hadn't already been around for thousands of years at that point.

Yeah MyRadar is the only app that seems to give me a reasonably accurate forecast in Ohio. I block ads and mostly look at the actual radar though.

Wunderground went to crap and I've really tried to like Shadow Weather but it's wrong too often. Meteo Weather Widget is decent but not as useful to me as radar.

Ah yes the dreaded shortbarrel saltwater tank and the AK-47000 combo.
