"Restart is required" notification won't go away despite multiple
restarts
by George Avrunin
I have a Dell XPS 13" with a 3840x2160 screen running a fully updated
Fedora 34 and use KDE with X, not Wayland. I believe this issue started
after I connected the computer to a projector with a much lower screen
resolution and had to fiddle with the display settings, though that could
be a coincidence. Since then, every time I start the computer, I get a blue
notification popup (like the ones saying the network interface is up) that
says
"(A) Restart is required. The system needs to be restarted for the
updates to take effect."
I have, of course, restarted (and powered down and restarted) the machine
multiple times. I've even tried changing the main display resolution and
then changing it back.
I've done some web searching and looked in various places on the machine,
and haven't found anything about this. If I click on the notification,
it goes away until the next time I start the laptop so it's only an
annoyance, but I'd like to get rid of the notification. I'd be grateful
for any suggestions.

gnote's backup directory?
by ToddAndMargo
Hi All,
Fedora 33
gnote-40.2-1.fc34.x86_64
~/.local/share/gnote/Backup
My data for gnote has a "Backup" directory, but
nothing is ever in it. Am I missing something?
Many thanks,

Instead of using GUI applications you could SSH into the host and use linux
command line. ls, cp etc.
That is what most of the people I know use.
It is fast and scriptable if you need to repeat commands.

What CPU for qemu-kvm and Windows 11
by ToddAndMargo
Hi All,
qemu-kvm-5.2.0-8.fc34.x86_64
Okay, I give up. I can not find a CPU the general
release of Windows 11 likes. It wants a
Comet Lake
Coffee Lake
And they are not on qemu's CPU list.

Can't find setting "focus follows mouse'
by Robert McBroom
The setting to have the window focus follo the mouse cursor seems to
have been hidden away. Plasma and Xfce have very few of what used to be
common optionx for the mouse.

I don't know the actual numbers, but I think that Gnome is the most
used desktop in Fedora. It is the official workstation version with
the most exposure. But, there are several other desktops available in
their own spins: kde, mate, cinnamon, xfce, lxqt, lxde.

Hi Dorian,
I've had phenominal results with xpra. I use it to display remote
windows locally. Severing the processing (on the remote) from the
display (on the local host) gives some apps a *huge* performance boost.
One app was using 250% of cpu on a 12 thread zen which pretty much
brought the whole machine to its knees. Now, running TWO simultaneous
instances of the app using xpra the *combined* cpu load on the host and
remote is about 50%. It allows exiting from xpra locally (remote
windows close but keep running remotely); on reconnection to the remote
your previous windows reappear. *That* is really nice.
xpra can also shadow a remote desktop or run the remote desktop locally.
xpra must be installed on any machines that will be participating.
Tip: run xpra start once --start=/bin/true (that establishes the initial
link between the local and remote. After that ^C out then xpra attach
when starting additional apps. Interactive graphics progams like
browsers that are resource intensive I run locally.
My 12 thread now sits on an unused desk with its monitor off. I do all
my work on an old AMD Phenom II with pc-133 memory (my local) and pull
in windows as I need them.
Checkout xpra.org

It's not specific to Nautilus. Any program can be run on the server and
export a GUI interface to a remote terminal. This is what X Windows was
originally designed to do.
However these days it's often more performant to use VNC. This involves
installing a VNC daemon on the server and a VNC client on the terminal.
TigerVNC (tigervnc and tigervnc-server packages) is one way.
There are many online guides to doing this.
