Hi there, and welcome! 
Great to have someone with 25+ years of Linux/Unix experience trying Soplos — that kind of feedback means a lot.
Really glad to hear it's flying on your old laptop! That snappiness on modest hardware is exactly what we're aiming for — keeping things lean and avoiding bloat is a core priority for us.
Thanks so much for the kind words and for giving Soplos a shot. Enjoy, and don't hesitate to drop by if you ever run into anything or have suggestions! 
Hi Techy,
Thanks for the extra details and screenshots — that clears things up! 
That password prompt you're seeing ("System policy prevents modification of network settings for all users") is the standard PolicyKit (polkit) authentication dialog. It shows up because Proton VPN's kill switch (pvpn-killswitch) needs to modify system network configuration, and that requires privileged authentication — this is completely normal on any Linux distro using NetworkManager, not something specific to Soplos. Proton itself asks for this every time you connect, as you mentioned.
So to sum up:
Glad to hear switching Proton VPN client versions seemed to fix the slowness! Just to confirm — is everything running smoothly now on Soplos, or did the slow browsing/updates come back at all? If it happens again, it'd help to know:
Thanks for testing so many distros and giving Soplos a real shot — glad you're liking it overall!
Hi Techy, thanks for the kind words! 
Regarding the VPN issue, that's not expected behavior — normal users shouldn't need root to start a VPN connection on Soplos.
Could you tell us which VPN client/software you're using?
openvpn or wg-quick via CLI)That'll help us pinpoint whether it's a permissions/polkit issue or something specific to that client's setup.
Gabría que revisarlo. Yo uso VLC en mi MSI con nvidia en Tyson y me va perfecto. Cuando indagues me dices por si hay que retocar algo 
Actualiza el Soplos Welcome y prueba nuevamente. Ya que el tema de los drivers no es de la ISO es de los repositorios de nvidia. Es ajeno a Soplos Linux.
Hallo emaxblue,
vielen Dank für den ausführlichen Bericht und dafür, dass du dir die Zeit genommen hast.
Zum Soplos Grub Editor: wir haben die deutschen Übersetzungen überprüft und alle Texte des Hintergrundbild-Auswahlmenüs sind in unseren Sprachdateien vorhanden und übersetzt. Wir konnten das Problem daher noch nicht nachvollziehen.
Könntest du uns bitte zwei Dinge schicken?
dpkg -l soplos-grub-editor
Der Grund für die zweite Frage: Version 2.0.2-7 vom 29. Juli behebt bereits einen anderen Fehler, der nur auf deutschen Systemen auftrat. Möglicherweise ist auf deinem ISO noch eine ältere Version enthalten.
Vielen Dank für deine Hilfe, und schön zu hören, dass dir die Distro bisher gefällt.
Acabo de probar en instalar los 610 y me los ha instalado sin problemas. Habría que mirar los logs de porqué falla.
Respecto a Bazaar si lo instalas te activa flathub a nivel system. Tras instalarlo, se bloquean los flatpaks de Welcome.
Hallo!
Vielen Dank, dass du Soplos ausprobierst und dir die Zeit für einen so detaillierten Bericht genommen hast, das wissen wir sehr zu schätzen.
Zu dem Bug, den du im Grub-Editor erwähnst (die fehlende Übersetzung im Auswahlmenü für das Hintergrundbild): Ich werde mir das in den nächsten Tagen ansehen und dir Bescheid geben, was ich herausfinde.
Viele Grüße und nochmals danke für den Beitrag!
Si restauras, primero actualiza todo, puesto que los 610 vienen en la última versión, de welcome.
Tocará esperar a la versión final, que los testers han válidado y funciona de forma correcta...
Todas las pruebas realizadas con los 610 y sin problemas. De hecho tienes el vídeo de Salmorejo Geek donde muestra que funciona correcto y la válidación de Last Cormeu con sus 2 3060.
Hi FOSSCharlie!
Good news — we've added exactly what you asked for. Soplos AppImage Manager now has the option to copy the AppImage instead of moving it, so you can keep the original file in your synced folder untouched while still integrating it into the menu.
Update to the latest version and you'll see the option when adding an AppImage. Thanks again for the suggestion!
Hola, gracias por la paciencia. Aún estás en la RC4 porque todavía no hemos liberado las ISOs finales, pero antes de que salgan quiero que pruebes esta secuencia para dejar tu sistema limpio y meterle el driver 610 correcto para tu RTX 3060.
Primero, pégame la salida de esto para que confirmemos el punto de partida:
dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia
ls -la /etc/modprobe.d/ | grep -iE 'nvidia|nouveau'
ls -la /etc/dracut.conf.d/ | grep -iE 'nvidia|nouveau'
grep nvidia_drm.modeset /etc/default/grub
Con eso claro, ejecuta esto en orden:
1. Purgar cualquier resto de NVIDIA e instalar el firmware necesario
sudo apt purge -y '*nvidia*' 'libnvidia*' 'cuda*'
sudo apt autoremove --purge -y
sudo apt install -y firmware-nvidia-gsp firmware-nvidia-graphics
2. Borrar los .conf huérfanos que puedan haber quedado de instalaciones anteriores (no pertenecen a ningún paquete, así que el purge de arriba no los toca):
sudo rm -f /etc/dracut.conf.d/nvidia.conf
sudo rm -f /etc/dracut.conf.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf
sudo rm -f /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf
3. Limpiar el nvidia_drm.modeset=1 residual de GRUB
sudo sed -i 's/ nvidia_drm\.modeset=1//g' /etc/default/grub
sudo update-grub
4. Regenerar el initrd ya limpio y reiniciar
sudo dracut -f
sudo reboot
Después de reiniciar, deberías arrancar con nouveau limpio (sin ningún resto de NVIDIA a medias). Abre Soplos Welcome → pestaña Drivers → botón "NVIDIA 610 (Production)", que es el que corresponde a tu RTX 3060.
Si tras esto sigue fallando, mándame journalctl -b | grep -i nvidia y dkms status después de la reinstalación, para descartar que sea un fallo de compilación DKMS contra el kernel en vez de un tema de configuración residual.
Hola!! Dime que es lo que instalaste para que te saliera esto.
Necesito más detalles.
Un saludo
Hi there! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your solution. This is an excellent contribution and will surely save a lot of headaches for other users installing the system on a Framework 13 with that network adapter. We're glad to hear you have it working perfectly!
Hi!
Thank you very much for sharing this information and for explaining the issue with the Tailscale installation.
You are right that some automatic installers can have problems correctly detecting Debian-based distributions like Soplos Linux. We will review the information you provided to make sure users can install it properly.
Regarding adding Tailscale to Soplos Welcome, it is certainly an interesting tool, although at the moment we are focused on keeping a selection of applications that covers the most common needs of our users.
We will keep your suggestion in mind for the future.
Thanks again for your feedback and for helping us improve Soplos!
Hi!
Thank you very much for trying Soplos AppImage Manager and for sharing your feedback.
I understand your use case. The current behavior is designed to move the AppImage into the applications directory, but having an option to clone the AppImage instead would make sense for users who keep their AppImages in a synchronized folder or use the same collection across multiple machines.
I'll take note of this suggestion and consider adding a "copy/clone instead of move" option in a future version.
Thanks again for helping us improve Soplos. Feedback like this is very valuable!
