I bit confused on github fork

So, this is my situation: I've forked this repository which contains dotfile and script for hyprland. I changed some files and now, if I want to sync all the commits made on the original repository to my repository github says "This branch has conflicts that must be resolved". My question is: can I merge only the commits that don't conflict with my files? What else can I do?

X1 Carbon Gen 5 Performance

I recently purchased a 2nd hand Thinkpad X1 Carbon with i7-7600U, 16GB of RAM, 512GB SSD and a 1440p screen. I installed EndeavorOS on it and I noticed, in plasma 6, that the scroll in Firefox is a bit sluggish; after I installed hyprland and, with a lot of effect active like blur, it does feel sluggish too. Is that normal for this type of hardware? Is there some settings I could tweak to improve the performances?

Is there any way I can enable HDR video for firefox?
  • You can watch YouTube video in mpv (just launch mpv with the link the video you want to watch) and, since mpv support HDR, you can watch HDR YouTube video on plasma 6. See this for how to set up mpv to play HDR video.

  • Issues with HDR pass through on x86

    After some researches I find two ways to have HDR pass through on Linux x86: Libreelec and kodi "stand alone session".

    For kodi I find this thread, so I installed kodi-gles on my Arch system; then I started a tty and launched kodi with kodi --windowing=gbm but the interface doesn't work, it seems stuck, but I can go beck to the tty.

    For Libreelec I downloaded the latest generic image for x86 system and I flashed it on a 8GB USB stick (I tried with balena etcher and Ventoy). So I tried the run and live option but with both the system is stuck on the Libreelec splash page (in the run case the system is stuck after the installation).

    Can anyone help me?

    Yet Another Distro Recommend request
  • Arch btw: it is much stable that many Linux users think, there are a ton of guide to do/repair things thanks to Arch Wiki, and, last but not least, it has the AUR repository in which you can find basically all software you will ever need; the only malus the AUR repository has is that you have to compile every software you install with it (even if sometimes they are precompiled).

    P.S. if you want a "ready-to-go" arch distro, install EndevourOs and set the btrfs file system with timeshift. Here's a guide.
