Aah, tho med brain didn’t lie to me, good to know!

Oh wow, that was legit my second Linux distro back in 2002 after failed attempts with SUSE.

But for some reason my brain remembered that it was called Mandrake, not Mandriva.

That’s pretty funny, not gonna lie.

We have access to them from work, perhaps I can use that.

Oh, wow, I didn’t realize that would be so much fun! And it’s somehow faster than the ones online too, and you can really do a lot with all the different models you can download!

Hm didn’t think of that but I guess it could be build in to my videos to make them more entertaining to watch

Hm, never heard of ComfyUI, will check it out!

Blender sounds very cool but also very intimidating ^^

He seems to be better at computers than Linus Sebastian.

This is what I expect of happening of the whole AI industry.similar to what happened to BigData or Web3.

Thank you everyone for explaining your view of how it works on Linux, it seems to be very chaotic when it comes to this topic, everyone has their own understanding and some contradict each other. But it was great to get some feedback and food for thought which let me to try other things which I didn’t think of trying before.

Now I finally have some things working on the iGPU because I plugged the monitor into the motherboard instead of the dGPU. It seems that the offloading works well still because things like ollama and video editing still are done on the powerfull dGPU and then somehow the results synchronized to the motherboard output and on the screen.

When it comes to the iGPU I see that many applications run on both at the same time like for example Firefox or Chrome when I look at nvtop. Especially when I watch videos in the browser then the iGPU is mostly active. Also when I use GNOME Shell features like seeing the overview by pressing the Super key or switching between virtual desktops.

With help of switcheroo-control I can now force a program like DarkTable to work specifically on the dGPU.

So while I still don’t have full controll over it, I feel I’m utilizing both graphics cards now much better and that was what I was looking for before I wrote this question, so thanks a lot everyone!

What is https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PRIME then?

Which one is plugged in into your monitor?

It’s a desktop.

I did, but that only allows me to run it in the descrete one where it is already running as far as I understand.

So I read it but it seems only to talk about X and not Wayland, am I missing something?

Yeah, not really, I think the iGPU is still very preformant, especially it has bread video de and encoding capabilities. It’s probably more powerful than my dell XPS 13 laptop iGPU which let’s me connect a external 4k monitor and run games and video editing smoothly with some Lowe settings.

Auto correct changed “it’s” to UT’s.

You need kind of a beefy server which is not worth it for one or two people. That is why I installed PieFed instead which does the same but plays nicer on a small VPS with fewer resources.

I thought WeeChat is the Chinese everything app?

I had a similar problem with Lemmy, UT’s not optimized for small instances.

I went with PieFed und am very happy with it.
