Linux@lemmy.ml•What's a unique customization on your Linux machine you think no one else has?
7·1 year agothe ability to use two Bluetooth dongles simultaneously, each for one device. try that on Microsoft’s clown os and see how pressing the gamepad triggers makes the bluetooth headphones chop up the sound 😂

Linux@lemmy.ml•Thanks to Nvidia, there's a new generation of PCs coming, and they'll be running Linux
2·1 year agoi had a terrible experience too but this is with laptop mind you.
since people are often saying nvidia is just fine I’m starting to believe my problem is the mux switching and not even the gpu itself… but since I’m not an expert i can’t be sure…

Linux@lemmy.ml•Introducing SystemD Pilot, GUI app for managing systemd services
42·1 year agothis dude boots 😎
you don’t even have to tell it 😎 Linux is the silent dangerous type standing in a shady corner
is abandoning kepler related to the higher gpu driver requirement or anti cheat architecture or both? i can’t imagine this change saving more than a few megabytes

Linux@lemmy.ml•Haven't booted this machine for a month or two... look at these updates!

Linux@lemmy.ml•A thought just hit me -- "Windows = The HOA of operating systems"
16·1 year agogood analogy bro. i was fuming when they decided that the taskbar on my ultrawide had to be at the bottom now, where in past versions you could slap it on the short edge. and if you dare use a mod from GitHub then explorer.exe will crash every 5 minutes.

Linux@lemmy.ml•There doesn't appear to be a limit to the maximum size the KDE cursor can get when you shake it.
5·1 year agotime for those groups of right lower-arm muscles to get their well-deserved spot in the limelight, lads 😎
honestly Ubuntu is getting too much shit by the Linux forum dwellers. it works great, is newbie friendly, and a lot of very specialized industry software, if they support any Linux whatsoever, it’s gonna be Ubuntu. I’ve started out with Ubuntu and if it wasn’t for them, i might not have sticked to it long enough to make it to arch by now

Linux@lemmy.ml•Today I'm grateful I'm using Linux - Global IT issues caused by Crowdstrike update causes BSOD on Windows
3·2 years agoThat’s precisely why I didn’t blame windows in my post, but the windows-consumer mentality of “yeah install with privileges, shove genshin impact into ring 0 why not”
Linux can have the same issue. We have to keep the culture on our side here vigilant and pure near the kernel.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Today I'm grateful I'm using Linux - Global IT issues caused by Crowdstrike update causes BSOD on Windows
341·2 years agoI love how everyone understands the issue wrong. It’s not about being on Windows or Linux. It’s about the ecosystem that is common place and people are used to on Windows or Linux. On windows it’s accepted that every stupid anticheat can drop its filthy paws into ring 0 and normies don’t mind. Linux has a fostered a less clueless community, but ultimately it’s a reminder to keep vigilant and strive for pure and well documented open source with the correct permissions.
BSODs won’t come from userspace software
I think it was win 8. I’ve dual booted excessively until dxvk basically made such a dent in the gaming exclusivity that I just stayed and enthusiastically followed it grow into perfection
Similar situation here. My binbows software is now stuck in a padded room (VM) while I’m enjoying the freedom 😎 my condolences if you’re on less than 16GB RAM though

Linux@lemmy.ml•Has anyone got KDE Plasma 6 - Wayland running on Arch using an NVIDIA GPU?
2·2 years agoI’m on endeavour, though i also really liked manjaro. in terms of nvidia+wayland I’d say it’s very flaky.
- vrr works SOMETIMES. i have to log out and in 2-3 times into my account until the option shows in the settings, and also functions as proven using vrrtest-git
- standby corrupts cuda and you’ll need to modprobe or reboot to fix it.
- hdr shows up but looks really grey and colorless for me, but it might be my monitor’s edid being faulty. kde’s sdr color vibrance option didn’t help.
- external screens are dropping frames, down to 30fps, where it was fine on windows with 60.
Keep in mind this is a 3060 laptop gpu. that means it could well be due to mux switching or whatever else. nonetheless i think nvidia seems more reliable on xorg as of this point in time, and I’m not going to buy another nvidia gpu.
this might not apply to desktop cpus at all but i thought I’d share these in case someone else has the issues as well and knows a fix, or knows for sure it’s better on desktop, so i can reconsider my stance for a tower build 🤔
nope, Tim Cook should step down
