Hi, everyone!

A few months ago I have purchased a used Jetson Nano 4G (not to be confused with the newer Orin model) for pennies and ever since have tried to the best of my ability to make it useful, i.e. not e-waste.
This machine runs Ubuntu 18.04 on Arm and Tegra. It can be upgraded to newer releases (forcefully), but seems useless outside AI vision stuff as it lacks any meaningful software support.
No HW acceleration in the browser or video playback (outside of barebones gstreamer). Ubuntu seems rather buggy with anything but Gnome and some audio related stuff just keeps breaking every few minutes.
There are some community guides on the official forum and some outside of it, but in general, you have to stick to 18.04 to get the bare minimum working and even then, the outdated browser makes most of the internet unusable.
I've tried to contact people who claimed to have made HW acceleration work in general, but no one responded and most links are dead because they are 3-4 years old.

Can anyone here point me towards some if ANY resources to make this little machine useful? I've read every single post on the forum, on jetsonhacks (mostly regurgatates other resources) and on github (Ubuntu 20.04 images fail for me).

Hi everyone!
I recently successfully traced some network issues I was having in Counter Strike back to my QBittorrent client having too many open connections. Global maximum was set to around 500, with a 100 max per torrent. This caused major jitter and packetloss in-game.
My current router is an Asus N18U which has Asus-Merlin on it.
The issues kept coming back even with a smaller number of open connections to the point I had to shut down the client.
I can't remeber having these kinds of issue on Windows (current system CachyOS wit latest kernel), but I can ne wrong.
For what kind of specs should I be looking in a router for this kind of task? Would a MikroTik hEX refresh (upgraded RAM and CPU) be enough or overkill?
Thanks!

So, what's the deal with NumLock? I have it tuned on in the BIOS and in KDE settings, yet every time I boot up my PC or open the terminal as super user, it is turned off. Any way to deal with this? That happened on Bazzite, Fedora and now Cachy. I have a 100% keyboard and I want to use all 100% of it.

Hi everyone
I have had really bad jitter in CS2 for about 3 months now. Last year the game worked flawlessly, but now it is slowly becomming unplayable. I don't know when the issues started as I had a longer hiatus with the game. The frame rate is stable, only packet problems. I don't have any other FPS games to compare it to. Loading and using regular web pages works just fine.

It seems that there might be compounding issues. Things I noticed contribute to more jitter:

• Pihole (default setup CouldFlare DNS, both IPv4 and v6)
• Fedora kernel
• x11 session

What I tried:

• switching to an older kernel 6.15.9 -> 6.14.9
• using CachyOS kernel (reduces jitter, but causes serious issues with Electron apps)
• switching from Wayland (the default) to x11
• using Gamescope
• verifying game files
• disabling Pihole and unpluggin it from the network altogether

My setup:
Fedora 42 with latest updates and kernel 6.15.9, CachyOS kernel 6.16.1
Ryzen 2700 and RX6600, 32GB RAM

I have no idea what to do next. The internet doesn't offer any solutions and everything I have tried so far does absolutely nothing. It could just be a bug in CS2 itself, but it's strange that almost noone is reporting it. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Hi everyone!
I am a newish user. Installed pihole on my Pi 3B almost 3 months ago and since then I have had issues when playing games - notably CS2.
When I route my traffic thru Pihole I experience a significant increase in latency and jitter. It varies from noticable to insufferable. DHCP is turned on only on the router. Pi handles just then DNS and filtering.
If I disable Pihole and change the DNS to 1.1.1.1, there is almost no jitter and the latency is fine.
I've scowered the internet for answers, but most people blame having DHCP on both router and Pi, which I don't have enabled. Any ideas what I could check or change? Some even suggested enabling IPv6 support, but that didn't do anything.
The Pi is updated to the lates Pihole version as of today. It is enclosed in a plastic case and cooling, so temps aren't an issue.
On my PC I am running Fedora 42 with CachyOS kernel.
Thanks!

Any way to force the desktop to load regardless? I know, typing startx isn't hard, but I would like not to. Tnx!
