Sure but you have to remember people are not tech savvy at all. They’re used to email, but they do not see the correlation with the fediverse. Try explaining that to the average Joe and see where that leads you.

The problem is having instances. If you tell the average Joe to join Mastodon and they see there’s 10 different links for Mastodon they’ll just give up and move on, it’s too much complicated effort for them.

Well, double check that your bonds are ALT for the details menu and the number keys for the skills. If it still fails, you could always bind a mouse region to click on wherever the skills are and use it as a mode shift

People would still be talking about it if it were a flop, nonetheless this game has sold almost 2.5 million copies on Steam alone, far from being a flop.

It’s a closed alpha test claiming everything is placeholder content and could/will change while they flesh out the design, hence why they don’t want you to share anything.

There is no NDA to sign or anything though, only this pop up warning. Valve can’t sue you for sharing details of the game but they absolutely can remove you from the play testing and/or ban you from ever playing it again for this.

I’ve searched a bit about reverse prime, and there’s an entry about it on arch wiki, however it seems it’s only about X11 configuration and nothing about Wayland or anything else.

Well, at least with my current setup I can get VRR working on my main display without needing to disable my secondary one with my NVIDIA card.

I’m running Wayland. I do feel that Plasma is using my iGPU to render the desktop since it’s quite noticeable some stutters and lower performance compared to disabling the iGPU and having both monitors on my dGPU, but unfortunately I can’t really chose what gets rendered by what. On Windows, this setup works fine, I can chose Firefox to use the “power saving” or whatever and it runs on my iGPU, videos get decoded by it.

I tried plugging my monitors on my motherboard (I have a HDMI and DP outputs) and it works as expected, everything renders on the iGPU and I’d need prime-run for my games, though this is far from ideal since I lose VRR and HDR.

I actually did follow those and the https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA_Optimus I think most of the things are related to laptops where the dGPU can be turned off, but I don’t think that’s my case since my main monitor is plugged there. I guess what I need to do is find a way to set the iGPU as the default and whatever I need to run on my dGPU i use prime-run, but I’m not having much success with this.

The guy in the thumbnail (Fernando Haddad, Brazil) has been very effectively taxing everyone except the rich and super rich. The super rich got annoyed that people were buying things from China instead of their resale so he decided to intervene by forcing an import tax of 60% + state tax (between 10% and 20%) over every imported product. Of course, the rich importing these same products to resell on a hefty price increase pay 0 taxes because “they’re protecting the national industry”.

Instead of focusing efforts into maintaining and improving their current products, of which many lack basic features, Proton decides to (in less than a month it seems) expand their portfolio into crypto bro and AI grifter territory.

I was already quite annoyed and unhappy with Proton’s services lacking things and the steep price (13€ a month and I can’t even use unlimited addresses for my custom domain), but this is the last straw. Fortunately I was already planning to move out so I’m able to just set everything up tomorrow and be done with it. I’m planning to get Migadu’s micro plan, move back to Bitwarden and get that Hetzner 1TB StorageShare, the three combined will be cheaper than 13€ a month and I’ll be getting more bang for my buck

I checked it out as I was curious. First post was “I sleep with my sister, AMA” and then an AI porn thread with guides and very dangerous lolicon porn.

Do not check it out

Zed is not an IDE, it’s a code editor. No, they aren’t the same things, it’s like saying a table and a kitchen are the same thing.

Wouldn’t running it on privileged mode cancel out whichever safety measures of running that script in a container?

Running endeavourOS with a 3080 and Plasma since 5.25 (on 6.1.2 now). Never ran x11 and I don’t intend to ever again. My experience is mixed, so to say. There are a few things keeping me on Windows but (very) slowly I’m getting there.

About HDR. I didn’t need to do anything extra to get it enabled on my desktop, simply toggling it on settings works.=, and I can also get mpv to work with some tweaks so I can watch films. On games I would need gamescope to run it, but that comes with a set of issues like not having Steam Overlay and Input, so for HDR games I run them on gamescope without overlay, and every other game I just run them normally. I also have a lengthy writeup on trying to get gamescope to run with the Steam overlay, but ultimately it’s one or the other right now.

On NVIDIA drivers, for me the 555 and explicit sync patches have made things worse. I never had issues with things flickering on 550 except for Electron apps, which would flicker and have awful input lag, but that’s easily fixed by setting ELECTRON_OZONE_PLATFORM_HINT=wayland on my /etc/environment. The issue with 555 drivers is that there are some VRAM leaks happening. They fill ridiculously fast, even just dragging a window will make kwin use 2GB of VRAM. Since there is no shared VRAM at all on NVIDIA Linux, as soon as I hit my 10GB cap, Xwayland will crash along my game and Steam, and sometimes my desktop too. On 550, I would only get framedrops for a while. I should also note that the proprietary and open drivers have no difference at all for me, and enabling or disabling GSP firmware also has no difference.

Lastly, VRR. It will not work at all if you have more than one monitor connected and enabled on your NVIDIA card. A workaround if you have a second GPU (or your CPU’s iGPU) is to plug your extra monitors there, and then VRR will work on your main screen. A second option would be to disable your extra monitors anytime you would play a game, but that’s not ideal at all.

I had a dualsense before, bought it thinking of those features. Turns out that a few games had support for it on PC, and most were shooters so I wouldn’t play using a controller.

The battery was abysmal too, it would barely last 4 hours. I’ve heard on some places that it was due to the touchpad being polled for input all the time, draining the battery.

Moved over to a 8bitdo ultimate Bluetooth with Hall sticks and couldn’t be happier

I’m using a 3080 under Plasma, and I thought 555 was doing great, since I could finally use electron apps without input lag or flickers. I didn’t bother much with gaming since VRR does’t work if the NVIDIA GPU has more than one display enabled on it (you can use a second GPU or an iGPU to workaround that). I decided to give it a go anyways, wrote a script that turns off my second screen when I open a game and enables it again when it closes.

Unfortunately, 555 was unusable for me. After a short while, Xwayland would crash and either Steam and the game would instantly close or my entire system would freeze, requiring a reboot. I thought this was an issue with Steam, so after some extensive log collection, I opened an issue on their GitHub and shortly after a dev analysed them and told me that my issue was likely due to explicit sync, and asked me to downgrade to a pre-explicit sync driver.

I went back to 550.90 and my crashes stopped completely. It also stopped a coredump spam of glsdisplay by Steam, and also fixed a power draw bug in which my GPU would never go below 100W, even on idle. I never had issues with games flickering previously, and I still don’t have it now, and I was able to fix the electron apps flicker and input lag by setting ELECTRON_OZONE_PLATFORM_HINT=wayland on my env, so for now I’m sticking to 550.

I also opened a bug report on NVIDIA’s forums and I’m waiting for any input.

That… Makes sense, really. And how would you do on about it? Just switching the cable to the motherboard IO? No need to use stuff like optimus?

Sadly I will have to live with this issue since my 5900x has no iGPU, but I do plan to upgrade to a 7800x3d

The input lag and flickering on Electron apps was fixed with the explicit sync drivers.

VRR does not work if you have a NVIDIA card and more than one monitor enabled. If you disable extra monitors it’ll work, but that’s hardly a workaround (and it’s one of the main reasons I’m still on Windows).

I’m also getting a lot of xwayland crashes while playing or simply when trying to drag a window, those crashes freeze my entire PC and I have to reboot.

To be fair, most, if not all of my issues preventing me from fully moving to Linux seem to be fixed by using an AMD card, but I’m not in the market for a new card (I have a 3080) nor do I want to lose DLSS, which is a game changer to me.
