  • I see, yea those cards are extremely bad supported by nvidia and are only usable with nouveau in my opinion. But nouveau got pretty good, and was the first GPU I owned that worked with wayland well (have an old MacBook for funnsys running arch with a nvidia at about that age)

    But the “newer” cards (like rtx stuff) are working very good with wayland now in my experience (rtx 980 in my Desktop)

    But in kernel is still way better, 😌 nvidia driver updates always take so long to install


  • I think, that it is good having high end offerings for “Linux first PCs” and agree that there is a lack of market for midrange “Linux first PCs”

    A sub-brand offering good quality hardware in cheap case / outdated HW in good case would be nice. So they could keep their high end branding intact, but still profit from people with low budget

    (For low end, there is raspberry pi and gang)

    Time to create a startup 😉 i think, you with your knowledge would be entitled.

    Latest kernel, wayland, NVIDIA dGPU greater than RTX 900, latest proprietary NVIDIA driver and correct vulkan packages for said driver:

    Don’t see any issues, really

    What does not work?

    Maybe some install steam and choose wrong vulkan dependency 🤔

    Or have vulkan dependency for nouveau installed prior to switching to nvidia drivers

    I just wonder why pacman not automatically chooses the correct dependency 😅 but I am sure there is a reason







  • I had way more struggle and frustration using mint/ubuntu than arch/endevourOS/openSuse TW

    🤷🏻‍♀️

    Using old kernel and mix of flatpak/repo/snap etc. Is just unpredictable, what happens and why. At least for me.

    I love, how in arch anything is verbose! Main reason I love linux and Arch especially.
