Yeah those are the steps I followed.
I have used bazzite before and it worked well, I just recently reinstalled fedora after using Windows for a month or so (Thought I would need it for class, but my teacher is okay with us doing our work on Linux so yay)
I will probably just rebase than
I am using Fedora Kinoite and quickly installed nvidia drivers, but when I launch an application with DRI_PRIME=1 it tries to use compute graphics. I had accidentally installed the cuda drivers along with the normal ones, but then removed them. I have tried with just the normal drivers, both normal and cuda, as well as only cuda.
If anyone could help that would be greatly appreciated.
By making that comment you did engage with it... Not commenting at all would have been disengaging...
I wouldn't advertise on the premise that Windows is a horrible, privacy invasive OS. Even though it's true that would easily be grounds for Windows to claim defamation and pummel the entire thing into the ground with legal fees
That makes a lot of sense when you put it that way. For some reason I never factored that individuals were extending apps for their own use cases lmao
I feel like Linux alternatives often falter by trying to offer as extensive of a feature set as the proprietary options. GIMP would be better if it simplified it's menu's and focused on offering a strong central feature set, then expand on that core over time to offer a powerful workflow of it's own.
I noticed this especially with FreeCAD, which is trying to do like 12 things for some reason? Just offer intuitive parametric cad and focus on it. We don't need OpenSCAD inside FreeCAD because OpenSCAD is already it's own thing for example.
Yeah that is wild. Back on windows I had a three monitor setup at one point and honestly rarely utilized the whole of it.
Ever since moving to Linux and learning about virtual desktops I have never felt the need for more than one monitor. So I could hardly imagine the need for seven beyond novelty lol.
Because they can as well as being fun and novel to try and beat the game in weird, unintuitive ways? There are challenge runs similar to this* in Minecraft that get super popular all the time.
Similar in a conceptual sense, I've no idea the relative difficulty of these two different games nor the differing challenges offered in playing these way
I setup a micro PC with Ubuntu and plugged it into my TV for media streaming, and was just wondering if there was a way to optimize the experience for non KBM
Any modern distro.
There are GUI methods for adding repositories to every major software center to my knowledge, and it isn't very hard.
Kate, and other modern file editors are more than equipped to handle some config files, that's probably the simplest thing ever.
There are multiple GUI front ends for samba.
Don't comment on the usability of Linux GUI if you haven't even tried in the last 20 years like seriously
It is for the sake of combatting the commonly held belief that you can't do anything without the terminal in Linux.
Progress on the accessiblility, and GUI centric applications and functionality in Linux has been huge in the last decade or two. It is now entirely possible to use a Linux system while rarely needing the terminal. And if you have someone techy helping set it up for you then it is possible to never have to.
Would not mind at all if consoles got lumped in and forced to allow alternative app stores
This makes a lot of sense, though I can't help but think about the fact that all these distros were once brand new projects that people had to go out on a limb and try out before they became what they are today.
Though I also guess these projects had more official dedicated support.
In any case, I won't be the one going out on a limb for a while now lmao
I reckon if I go about trying to game again I will just go ahead and rebase to bazzite. Seems the easiest route
Rebasing is easily one of the coolest features of the atomic suite. I will definitely look into bazzite more in the future, just wish I knew about it before all this lmao
Yeah that's why I put it in quotes, it just kept popping up when I searched for distros more inclined towards gaming lol.
Yeah I didn't know about bazzite before going about this whole thing, but I am not going to try gaming on my system until nvk becomes more capable. Even then only light work.
I'm not necessarily a begginer as I have been using Linux for a few years now, but arch is definitely out of my wheelhouse
This isn't me asking for help or anything, I already replaced it with fedora kinoite. I just felt like talking about this ridiculous venture of mine.
So a couple weeks ago I started hyper focusing on cities skylines, but played on my Xbox. I learned that mods and all kinds of fun custom content was available on PC so I tried to play on my system. Problem, my laptop has an rtx 2070, but I was running fedora kinoite and couldn't figure out how in the world to install nvidia drivers.
So after a bunch of searching around I give up and decide to try installing a "gaming" focused distro in the form of endeavour os. It was awful.
Maybe I am weird but the x11 rendering didn't feel good at all, the lack of some default applications, as well as a bunch of apps I didn't know the purpose of. (This one is my own fault since they have a kde spin, but I remembered why I didn't like gnome) and finally today it froze in the middle of an update and hard rebooted, no longer able to launch.
Worst part, I didn't do a lick of gaming on the thing cause I moved on to Borderlands 3
You even see this with games that were insanely cash grabby from ten or so years ago. Borderlands 2 made you pay for every level cap increase and tiny piece of updated content as it rolled out. The handsome collection fixed that, but it's still true that it really tried to toll you at every corner. Game is still highly regarded though.
The thing that kept me attached to VR was Echo. Guess what they did to one of my literal favorite games
I wonder if self hosted fediverse stuff could gain a bit of traction 🤷
Not only is this comment stupid, but it isn't even remotely true. There are tons of famous, powerful individuals in all stretches of the public sphere that actively support Trump and the Republican party.
Something I think is interesting is that, in order for companies to adopt these better non ad reliant models, they would have to dramatically scale down.
In a climate where ad and clicks = revenue, your solution is to scale as large as you can and pump out content to maximize views. But that wouldn't work under normal models
Hello, I am encountering a weird issue while trying to launch BattleBit. It gets through EAC just fine, and then suddenly throws an error saying, "could not switch to desired monitor resolution."
I am running on a laptop with a discrete rtx 2050, connected to a monitor with laptop display disabled, using the proprietary nvidia drivers on fedora 39 kinoite (Can't wait for fedora 40 to ship with NVK). I have tried multiple proton versions from beta, down to 6.06 at which point the game wouldn't launch at all. I also tried ProtonGE.
All of my other games work without issue.
Sidenote, this happens everytime I try to launch, except for once yesterday after a flatpak update which happened to include something with mesa, but for an unrelated application. I was able to play without issue for a few hours, but the issue cropped up again today.
