  • I got my IT department to allow me to use WSL2, because I have to clone and patch the Linux kernel for our embedded linux device.

    😁now I can install stuff, for which I otherwise would have need windows admin privileges, into WSL2, like steam (just for the fun of playing a windows game over proton on a ubuntu install on WSL2 which is just linux hyper-v emulation on windows -> games run very bad and seem do not use the nvidia card in the laptop 🤭)

    So my setup is for work windows running WSL if needed, at home, I have a macbookpro11,3 dual boot BigSur and up to date endeavourOS(Arch+KDE) as allrounder devices, a game PC running endeavourOS(Arch+KDE) (NVIDIA 970), a raspberry Pi W2 running my homebridge, an iPad pro for easy webapps (configure *arr services) and streaming. Other not so much PC coputing devices available are PostmarkedOS pine phone, TvOS running Atv, various game consoles with most CFW installed, and many iPhones (collected over time, self bought is only iPhone 4s, 5, 6, X and 12mini)

    So, I use them all big OSs 🤔 well, not really android anywhere… 😁 I just recognised that my router is BSD based (OpnSense)





  • 😂i need to fix element (matrix client) with that 🥳 finally got the cause of the issue

    Thank you very much!

    How could that be fixed by the devs? Is it something electron has to update or all electron apps individually, in order for it to work out of box?

    I think since version 550 of the proprietary driver, it is mostly possible, if your card is compatible (meaning not legacy), but yea, I as well have to switch ch to X.org for some things. (Proton Cyberpunk, for example)

    For legacy cards, the open source driver are most of the time best bet, if you are not running a legacy kernel since nvidia does not update those anymore (there are community patches of legacy proprietary driver to make them work on newer kernel, but they often have less features than using the card with nouveau)

    That seems like old nvidia card (shortly googled). For those, nvidia deserves all the fuck you it gets 😂 they don’t offer proprietary drivers for legacy card on newer kernel. For most, there exist community patched versions, but nouveau is often more feature rich (and works with wayland!). Many legacy nvidia cards require you to boot from legacy BiOS and won’t work from UEFI -> is is especially infuriating on old Mac, since those need to boot from a CD in order to be able to easily install Linux using legacy bios (there are ways to convert a EFI install, but I, till now, always failed that approach…). At least, as soon as you have grub2 and legacy bios set up, you can use grub to boot feom a iso file on your harddisk without switching back to EFI)

    This card in the laptop is not legacy and even “works” with wayland on proprietary drivers

    2060, 9th gen and 1Tb SSD for 400 is a good deal in my opinion. Don’t fear the nvidia BS spreaded here, with an up to date distro, it is no problem

    I use my 780 with endeavourOS and latest proprietary driver without issues. I had to switch some packages from the nauvau edition to the nvidia editions. (Vulcan and cuda stuff)

    In kde settings about page you can easily check if vulcan is running good




  • I would still prefer the extreme outcome over what we have today.

    And I think the community will know and happily share which line to take and if you want sell in the franchise, you got to look out that the community is happy with what you create, which includes plot holes / inconsistencies.

    The big corporations just want you to believe that franchises dies if other studios can use it, when it only is about earnings the last penny out of a franchise with the least effort possible. They happily save on production cost and invest a lot in lawsuits (or similar) to maintain their monopoly position.
