Well, my issue is simple to explain, but I tried everything to solve it without success.

I like recording gameplays, just for fun. The game I currently make recordings for is not resource heavy (it's Doom 2 through GZDoom). I'm using Lubuntu 22.04.

So, here is the command I've just used:

ffmpeg -f x11grab -draw_mouse 0 -framerate 30 -probesize 42M -video_size 1920x1080 -i :0 -f pulse -i default -c:v libvpx-vp9 -r 30 -g 90 -quality realtime -frame-parallel 1 -qmin 4 -qmax 48 -b:v 4500k -c:a libvorbis prueba.mkv

The issue is, if I record without including the audio, then the video plays smoothly after being recorded. But if I record including the audio, no matter what parameters, codecs, bitrate or anything I use, then the video is barely watchable, with lots of choppiness, and even with delay between audio and video, apparently.

SimpleScreenRecorder works fine, but sometimes there are few frames dropped and I don't like it much. OBS is very heavy for my hardware (Mac Mini 2016, Intel Core i5 1.4 GHz 4260U, Intel HD Graphics 4000, 4 GB RAM).

I also tried VAAPI, with same results as above.

And the thing is that I remember recording some years ago, with no issues at all.

I don't know what to do. Any tip or solution?

Ok I nearly lost hope, since not being able to figure it out.

PLEASE. SEND. HELP.

_ First: this might gonna get a long one, but I‘m desperately looking for help!
Second: I‘m a total newb on Linux, so I have really limited Linux know-how.

Specs:
Asus ROG Strix G15DS-R7700X088W
AMD Ryzen 7 7700X
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070
2x 1TB SSDs; 1x M2 NVME with W11 running, 1x SATA

Goal:
Running Dual Boot with W11 on the first, M2 SSD (already running fine) and Linux (Nobara preferred) on the second, SATA SSD

Distros I tried:
Nobara 39
Fedora 39
Fedora 38
Ubuntu 22.04
Pop!_OS

Problem I run into:
I can‘t boot even from the LiveUSB without the „acpi=off“ option. If I do, I get just a black Screen (with Backlight still on) or, if I get into the Grub options first, there‘s only „booting command list“ visible but nothing else happens (even with „quiet“ disabled, no info on the Screen at all).
One thing I noticed, since my Keyboard, Mouse and Mousemat (Razerfly) have lighting, when I try to boot without the acpi=off, they go dark. And stay dark. With acpi=off the keyboard alone goes dark but then lights up again after 2-3 seconds.
If I run it with acpi=off, I can boot and install, but I then have to boot every time with acpi=off. This leads to the graphics driver not being recognized by the OS and running always in 1024x768 „software rendering“ resolution (even with proper drivers installed and enabled and nouveau on blacklist). So just let „acpi=off“ enabled isn‘t an option.

I did, after researching for several hours, try with various other options (nomodeset, acpi=ht, pci=biosirq, noapic, nolapic, and so on, tried a ton of those) but nothing did the trick - always black screen of death without acpi=off.

I did update my BIOS to the latest Version (306), did try every possibilty of options enabled/disabled (Fast Boot, Secure Boot, IOMMU, acpi settings in BIOS, secondary on-board Graphics,…) with no change.

Since I ran out of options (in relation to my google and reddit search skills), knowledge (total newb on Linux) and possibility to ask friends (that know more about linux than me), I‘m desperate enough to ask for help.

You are my last hope, before giving up on Linux with my PC.

If someone has an idea I could try or even a solution, I‘d be endlessly thankful!

If I missed some info or something is needed, don‘t hesitate to as for specific details._

I have a ADS-27000w and it only seems to work with rss keys to upload documents to an SFTP server.

I did update the firmware. I would prefer not to lessen the security on my server pc just for this scanner.

Is there a simple way to run an SFTP server so I can upload documents securely to it?

Thank you.

So close to perfecting my dual-boot GNU/Linux Surface Book 2 setup, but I'm encountering a few final obstacles:

1. Is there anyway to fix the flashing on boot in rEFInd? My screen flashes gray three times and I've already tried toggling resolution, use_graphics_for, and text_only.
2. I would love to be able to connect to my Microsoft Display Adapter on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, but no matter how much I've fiddled with Miraclecast and gnome-network-display, I can't get it to work. GND fails on some inexplicable firewall error, while Miraclecast has yet to fully implement Display-Source.
3. I know most people will just say to fully disable Secure Boot, but I would really like to get it working. I already went through the process of signing certificates and running around MokManager with rEFInd and Tumbleweed, but for some reason it will not work at all with my Garuda installation. I'm not sure if it's because that partition is encrypted, the fact that I use the custom Nobara kernel, or if it's just an Arch-based thing.

TL;DR: Can I make rEFInd stop flashing, SecureBoot Garuda, and connect to a Microsoft Display Adapter?

OS: EndeavourOS
Fresh Install and updated

The "Launch <appname> on start" on the <appname> settings does not work

I have this issue with multiple apps (KeepassXC, Steam, Ferdium...) the settings in each app is marked and saved

They work fine, they simply do not launch on system start up

I am using powertop to view what is using my laptop battery the most and it seems the bluetooth adaptop is using around 5W. I turned BT off in settings and also in /etc/bluetooth i changed the config file main.conf to not autostart bluetooth.
Even after doing this and a couple restarts, powertop still shows BT using 3-5W power.

I searched the bios but didnt find any option to disable the bluetooth device. The only advanced options are wrt frequencies and transmit power settings. Does this mean I cant switch off BT completely?

I have a dual boot system with Kubuntu 23.04 and Windows 11 on Thinkpad e14 gen 2.

This error shows up after I select Kubuntu from the grub menu and also when I logout or shutdown the system.

amdgpu: Secure display: Generic Failure.
amdgpu: SECUREDISPLAY: query secure display T
A failed. ret 0x0

I did a fwupdmgr update and also checked for firmware updates in windows partition using lenovo vantage and lenovo support, but no firmware updates were available for my device.

Also, this issue was not in Fedora 38, which I was using before installing Kubuntu.
