According to this I think this is the Mastodon account of the Funkwhale developer mastodon.eliotberriot.com/ which is down as well. The first link also has a link to their Matrix channel.
This brings back some memories from years ago. Enlightenment was fairly popular at some point and I think the author “Rasterman” was employed at RedHat. Some Linux distribution may even have had it as the default ?
You could try this The OP installed the drivers from an older iso and then upgraded. Manjaro Linux is not very much liked by many but you could give it a try. If it works you can go for plain Arch or EndeavourOS. From what I found the closed source Nvidia driver exist since 2022 so don’t use an iso that is too old :-)
Lots of people to the time to reply here and at kbin.
It probably will not hurt to also ask on superuser.comstackexchange.com and Reddit linuxquestions or another appropriate subreddit. To me it seems like Discord is similar like IRC : questions will get snowed under after others write newer things and your reading audience is likely decreasing.
And a question : What are your plans with Linux on your desktop ?
Gaming ?
Coding ?
Reading books and watching videos ?
Web surfing ?
Social media ?
If you are interested in learning more Linux then a refurbished laptop is a good start to run Linux natively without a dual boot.
Don‘t get me wrong, I‘m not complaining at all, in contrary, I am enormous grateful for any help I get. I posted alread in reddit as well - subreddits r/Nobara, r/linux4noobs and r/linuxquestions Asus-Linux has a thready-like area in their discord „general-issues“, where I made the thread…
Cool. 👍
At first it is to learn how everything behaves, test my use-cases to see, if linux could become an all-dayer for me - that would be the main goal - until then the dual-boot to have a fallback option.
In that case, VirtualBox and other emulators could be useful to look into. And WSL may be limited (I’ve read) but also useful. Never tried WSL but a friend of mine is happy with it.
