  • installing the proprietary driver isn't too bad in my experience as long as you're comfortable with your package manager.

    It's just that the drivers are simply bad (e.g. some filters in gamescope are borked, you can't use vaapi for hardware video acceleration, etc). these issues exist on all distros because they're all using the same proprietary drivers

  • I don't think the nvidia-open kernel module works with nvk, it's only compatible with the proprietary userspace driver

    if you want to use nvk you have to use the nouveau kernel driver

  • that's mainly because of Wayland's security model I think, it's trading a tiny bit of convenience for lots more security in terms of things like preventing easy keylogging.

    You can still do keylogging in wayland but that has to be done at the compositor or evdev layer, which requires root access or control of the DE, which makes it more secure. I'm sure you could write something in C to do this though

    It might be an annoyance for you and I get that, but your small annoyance improves security for lots more people than you realise. I'm sure you can adapt to not using the script though (I also use multiple layouts and I work fine without a script like this)

  • yeah you sometimes need to force applications to run with xwayland, for qt apps I think you just assert the environmental variable:

     
        
QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb

    that usually works for me

  • RIP Windows: Linux GPU gaming benchmarks on Bazzite (Gamers Nexus)

  • All my experiences with amd gpus have been fantastic, their drivers work beautifully and when they have even a slight issue it's been problems with protocols adoption and whatnot, never the driver.

    It's such a contrast to the dogshit experience I've had with all the nvidia gpus I use, I really can't think of a reason except cuda that a Linux user should get a nvidia device.

    I hope when the people adopting Linux now start building their next pc demand for nvidia noticeably shrinks. Or maybe they'd be bankrupt by then because of the ai bubble crash

  • Does switching motherboard require a reinstall?

    Jump

  • probably not, I move SSDs between computers all the time and linux always just works

    very different story for windows installations though 🤮

  • Solved: Switching from Windows, but slightly convoluted

  • is winboat and Winapps basically the same thing?

    also that's definitely not going to have adequate performance, you'd need something like looking glass and that requires a spare gpu or sriov/gvt-g. it's probably easier to set up with a standalone vm

  • security you don't understand is security you don't have. windows' exploit mitigations don't work because the average user doesn't understand them and can easily be guided into disabling them.

    the weakest attack surface is the stupidity of the user and that's not gonna change however much you try to make your os secure

  • why not just wipe the ssd and put Linux on it? dual boot should work fine, and if you have problems with it you could post it here

  • Your old android phone is begging to be a cheap home server!

    Jump

  • yeah you could, depending on if it can run a mainline Linux vm or is supported by postmarketos

    you'd just need to port forward to your phone from the router and set up DDNS (if you don't have a public static ip). same thing as any other server.

    I'd highly recommend making the phone headless and controlling it though SSH from another device. it's way more ergonomic.

  • my entire phone server setup consumes less than 1W at idle :3

    and the "builtin UPS" lasts for a few hours

  • one of the best things about a phone based server is that it consumes basically no power at all

  • Distro Recommendation Discussion (Not a 'What Distro Should I Use?' Post)

    Jump

  • in my opinion a big requirement is longevity. If I'm going to recommend a distro to someone new to Linux, I don't want them to go back to w*ndows because their distro gets unsupported. That's mainly why I like mint, Debian and arch.

    as much as I like Wayland, I don't think it's a hard requirement yet. I like mint because it's extremely well polished. You really have to try it out to actually see it, but it's insanely well done.

  • I've had more problems with my turing card on x11 than wayland (kde), with random issues with the application menu and weird colour management. That said wayland isn't very good on that card either.

    I think nvidia cards are just bad in general and comparing x11 vs Wayland on nvidia is like comparing different types of feces

    there's things that only work on Wayland though, like smooth touchpad gestures and waydroid
