  • Mounting Folders VS Symlinks?

    Jump

  • Thank You.

    FYI, you can mount folders. I just don't exactly know how.

  • then bind mount the parts I want to use into their desired locations

    how though?

    This is definitely a gotcha when working with those paths with flatpak

    Can you explain a bit more please?

  • Thank You.

    This helped me. But would you suggest XDG or creating Symlinks?

  • Thanks Again.

    This is Everything I needed to know.

    Guess I'll stick to Symlinks for the sake of simplicity.

  • Nobara 40 released

    Jump

  • Thank You.

    Bluefin/Aurora/Bazzite/Ucore take those and add new things on top.

    I can't understand this though. So, Bazzite is built on top of Fedora SIlverblue/Kionite?

  • NVIDIA Transitions Fully Towards Open-Source GPU Kernel Modules. Keep in mind that the drivers are still proprietary.

    Jump

  • it reminds me I'm putting proprietary crap in the machine.

    Agreed.

    Can be a pain in the ass when the wifi doesn't work because some proprietary firmware is missing, and the laptop doesn't have an Ethernet port so off you go to buy a usb-eth adaptor.

    happened to me too. Lame mediatek doesn't have drivers for Linux.

  • I don't understand, If Pop OS, Nobara, Bazzite can, why not all distros? Is it a philosophical reason to not include proprietary drivers?

    Jump

  • But, what about some Distros have NVIDIA Versions, Which come with proprietary Drivers? Like Nobara, Bazzite, Pop OS..?

    They don't have legal issues?

    I think its because the country they are based on. I also heard that VLC has lots of codecs (even proprietary ones), because it's origin country doesn't restrict them to use proprietary codecs.

    For the Illustration.

  • I'm totally new to Atomic Desktops. How rebasing differs from installing fresh OS?

    And what exactly is rebasing though?

  • this works ok

    People said that the new 555 Nvidia drivers works good.

  • I'm using Mint. It doesn't install proprietary Nvidia drivers along the system install. But provides a slick Driver manager where you download proprietary Drivers without any hassle. It does include nouveau during install though.

    Jump

  • Thank You.

    But, how do you put a line in your reply though?

  • NVIDIA Transitions Fully Towards Open-Source GPU Kernel Modules. Keep in mind that the drivers are still proprietary.

    Jump

  • So, it's just the philosophy of FOSS stopping distros from using proprietary?

    Jump

  • Does this mean upcoming distros can have the drivers inbuilt? NVIDIA Cards working out of the box? I'm Out of the Loop.

  • Nobara 40 released

    Jump

  • GE mentioned this update will be a smooth transition.

    Also is Nobara a good candidate for daily driver or bazzite?

  • What are the applications that I can remove from Mint? + Mini Rant.

    Jump

  • I did for Linus (tech tips). I know it's not always the case, but I just want to be safe.

  • /media or /mnt or anywhere ? Discussion.
