redxef, in State of the Nvidia open source driver in late 2023?

Nouveau is stable and runs, but don’t expect the best performance. The official NVIDIA driver is unstable, lacks proper wayland support but has decent performance. I’d go with anything but a NVIDIA GPU.

WallEx,

Yeah, that’s what I heard anecdotally

FishFace, in (help-solved)monitor 1 with workspace 1 and monitor 2 with workspace 2, how pls?

Do you mean you want separate sets of workspaces on each monitor and to be able to switch through them independently? Just having “workspace 1 on monitor 1 and workspace 2 on monitor 2” sounds no different than the default behaviour with no extra workspaces.

CaptainJack42, in (help-solved)monitor 1 with workspace 1 and monitor 2 with workspace 2, how pls?

Afaik the X11 standard says that this shouldn’t be done and that workspaces should span all monitors (or something along the lines of that), thus most DEs don’t do this (I’ve read this in the gnome issue tracker), don’t ask me why cause I also hate this behaviour. Most window managers will do that however and luckily it’s super easy to replace xfwm with another window manager. I use i3 inside xfce on my work laptop, this guide describes how to set it up with ease

free,

Mair, in Wine Wayland Driver Lands Improved HiDPI Support
@Mair@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

when will I actually be able to use a native wayland version of wine?

Spore,

I believe that I’m already using it on NixOS. Working without visible problems since half a year ago.

Learn Linux TV is number one for me - his Linux Crash Course has been an immense help in getting started using Linux for me.

disheveledWallaby, in 10 YouTube Channels Linux Users Should Explore

Back in the day I used to watch NixieDoesLinux.

I would also add Brodie to the list, and I follow 7 of them. I have kinda tried to steer clear of DT because I’m not a fan of some of his off-topic videos. There are 2 I don’t follow: Veronica Explains (I was going to check her channel out, but forgot) and Gardiner Bryant (this is literally the first time I’m seeing or hearing about this guy, so I will go check him out)

Hannes1909, in Reading .mcn files?

Maybe strings can get some usefull output too?

As someone who just had to shell out the money to do a lateral move from an Nvidia 2080 to a RX 6700XT - don’t go with Nvidia if you’re wanting to have a good time.

wim,

That’s what I got from my past experiences as well, but I haven’t owned anything Nvidia since the Pascal (GTX 10x0) era so I wanted to check if anything got better with their open source efforts.

interceder270,

As someone with an Nvidia GPU (3060 mobile) with no issues, this is mostly FUD from AMD fanboys.

Experience > theory, everytime. Especially the theory of strangers on internet forums. :)

Yeah, I wish it had just been theory, I wouldn’t blatantly say something like my original comment if it weren’t based off experience. I’ve written numerous comments on my experience with Nvidia + Linux [+ Wayland] - such as this comment, primarily the the second, third, and fourth paragraphs. Sadly I don’t think its possible to “relative” link direct comments, so I’ve just linked my instance instead.

Since you mentioned it’s a mobile GPU, I’m not sure if perhaps you have also have an internal GPU that is drawing your regular desktop. My friend doesn’t have nearly the same amount of issues that I have with Wayland, because he’s able to drive his desktop with his iGPU and does GPU passthrough to play games through a Windows VM - the 5600X that I have doesn’t include integrated graphics so this was not possible for me.

Either way, if it works for you then fantastic. It certainly didn’t work for me, and definitely not for a lack of trying.

ChristianWS, in gamescope through the heroic launcher is WAY better than steam

Hmm, the GUI is reasonable and easy to understand. I wonder if Gamescope can be changed while the game is running, so it could be put in the Quick Access menu

Pantherina, in Looking for a "couch laptop"

Any chromebook that supports Coreboot. Absolutely unrepairable and very low storage, but good Linux support and coreboot!

mrchromebox.tech/devices

13617,

But be aware a ton of features that would work on ChromeOS don’t work, I’ve done this to 4 and all have separate problems

Pantherina,

Very interesting! I had an Acer Chromebook I couldnt even open up, so I got rid of it as fast as possible.

Could you share experiences?

  • keyboard layouts, missing buttons
  • what features are missing?
  • anything else thats good to know?
Froyn, in (help-solved)monitor 1 with workspace 1 and monitor 2 with workspace 2, how pls?

KISS: Plug workstation 1 into monitor 1 and workstation 2 into monitor 2. Then use something like Synergy to share the keyboard and mouse between the computers.

Strit,
@Strit@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show avatar

Workspace is not the same as Workstation…

Froyn,

For you and I, yes I agree there is a difference. For OP, who has not replied to any comment, maybe not.

free,

haha I like to wait for more replies before I start to comment. tx 4 input.

TheOneCurly, (edited ) in Reading .mcn files?
@TheOneCurly@lemmy.theonecurly.page avatar

Doing this by hand is challenging but possible.

First you need a hex editor, not a text editor. xxd on linux will get you started but you might want something a little more user friendly.

Then look for a label for a value you know, xxd and other hex editors will show ascii text on the side. Hopefully you’ll be able to identify the value (in hexadecimal, probably 4 bytes but could be 1, 2, or 8 as well) somewhere before or after the label. You might have to get familiar with endianness, two’s compliment, and binary floating point before the numbers make sense.

Once you know how to read a value after a label you’ll need to find some label for the information you don’t know. If it isn’t displayed in the program it might not have a super readable label.
