Unfortunately the issues with apps might be the snap packaging, this does slow apps down a bit which could cause pretty much all the remaining issues. I haven’t personally used it but might look up flatpak as a replacement and see if that helps. If others don’t explain how to do this I will try to come edit this later with an explainer or link or something to help.

I've been reading about Snap packages not being ideal.

I did get flatpak working (one app is only distributed through flatpaks), but I wonder if it would be better to move any packages to flatpaks, or even just DEB packages instead of Snap.

What hw do you have in that laptop?

It's the 11th Gen Framework 13 running:

  • Intel® Core™ i5-1135G7 , integrated Intel XE graphics chip
  • Western Digital Black 770 2TB SSD
  • 32gb ram (16GB x 2) Crucial DDR4-3200

sudo journalctl -e

This generates a lot of stuff. Anything in particular that I should post?

I did a full memtest and chkdsk BEFORE installing Linux (I'm dual booting right now), and things were fine. Again, I only seem to be having issues in Linux, not Windows (native or through virtualbox!).

Even just now, Digikam is crashing, but it won't let me force quit (waiting just brings up the window again).

and I’m American.

You're not American, you're a hero. 😀

From a “where does the money go” perspective, that is not true.

When I was researching this, basically the conclusion is that if a product is made in Canada (even if the company is American), you are supporting the workers, but then the workers are likely spending their money within the country, too. This is amplified if the ingredients/materials of that product are also from Canada.

Yes, supporting an American company is still bad, for sure. I don't disagree.

But if the choice, for example, is to buy from a Canadian company that's importing from the States (many examples I've found just at the grocery store), or an American brand that makes their products in Canada using Canadian ingredients, go with the latter!

Fortunately, we aren't always forced to make that decision, and can go with NotAmerican products and brands for a large number of items. That's why Buy European is something I also follow (as a Canadian).

Ah, so it is because of bikes! /s

It's actually more important that the product be made in Canada, rather than who owns the company, since it would employ more Canadians and return more money into our economy.

I'm not sure where Pedigree makes their treats, but if it's in Canada, it gets a Maple Leaf.

But ideally, you do want a Canadian-owned company making goods in Canada using Canadian ingredients and hiring Canadian workers.

Goddamn brilliant!

Is this a mensa entry test? 😂

Thank a veteran! Who do you think this money is being stolen from?

Martha Stewart went to jail on much less than this. Seize all their assets, and throw as many as you can in jail.

Oh wait, you can't because your Rapist in Chief has put other criminals in charge of things, while firing anyone with a moral compass.

Do either make gaming headphones, though? I think the OP was specific, and I'm not familiar with their product lines.
